Long Island Bullying Survey: 2009 – This project is focused on understanding bullying in long island school districts. Child Abuse Prevention Services (CAPS) and I partnered in mid 2009 to began the development of the “Long Island Bullying Survey.” The survey asks 6th & 7th graders of their experiences being bullied or doing the bullying and questions related to their feelings of security within the school system. This data in the long run will be combined with known information regarding income levels, demographics, and other data of an area to create a frame work for identifying potential hot zones of bullying.
