1. If families live in a low income city, then they are more likely to be child abuse victims.
2. Dependent component is the number of abuse victims, the independent component manipulating the city's income levels, and the control would be the child abuse.
3. My EQ is what is the best way to treat a child that has been abused? For my experiment, I'm going to collect data from reported child abuse cases from different cities with different income averages, and find if income in a family has anything to do with child abuse. The way that they connect is that to treat a child you need to know where the most cases are reported, meaning that there are more children that need a therapist/psychologist in that area.
4. I will find some of my data in the Bureau of Economic Analysis, which will provide me with the different city income levels. The Bureau of Justice Statistics will provide me some of the information about the child abuse reports made and in what cities the reports were made. With this data, I will see if there is some kind of correlation between city income and the number of child abuse reports. This experiment will allow me to decide if there are certain cities that need more help with their child abuse victims.
5. This experiment would be under Behavioral Science.
