Hi there. I want to ask if there are any other suggestions about how to choose scales for our reduce-physical-aggression programs? Besides the Pubertal Development Scale.

Hi, friend! As you may also know that there are positive links between anger bias and aggression among children and adolescents who have been maltreated or exposed to violence, we hope to examine whether this bias can be reduced through our service, thereby preventing their aggressive responding. Our service plans to provide positive emotion training. However, we are trying to figure out what kinds of measurements could be used in our program evaluation. Would you please kindly give me some advice?

Hello. Following my previous question, I wonder if there is a “bottom-up” approach to calculate the costs of crime, will there be a “top-down” approach?

Hi there. I am trying to search for a theory to guide our program evaluation of juvenile crime. A friend recommends the Routine Activity Theory. Could anyone kindly give me a clue about this theory?
