School Violence in the Media
The goal of this project is to expand on NCIPC’s knowledge of how school violence in portrayed in local news broadcasts and what the media says about prevention of violence in the school setting. With this new information, existing NCIPC materials will be revised and new documents for dissemination among school leaders and communication professionals will be developed. A dissemination plan targeting the individuals that are most influential before, during, and after a violent incident in the school setting will also be created.

Using the news media to disseminate booster seat information to the American public: How Police interact with the media and how can we improve it.
This proposed study will attempt to codify the process of police interaction with the local news media following motor vehicle crashes with specific attention being paid to the issue of booster seat usage. This will then lead to an understanding of the perceptions and beliefs of police officers regarding their potential role as media spokespeople for prevention following an MVC and to develop a web-based tool that may facilitate the interaction between police and the local news media.
