SCHOOL RESEARCH PROJECTS
 Finger Print Research Study (November 2015)
I conducted this research study for my forensic crime scene investigations class. For this project I looked
to see if there was a correlation between finger print type and gender. I gathered a sample size of 40 people (20
male and 20 female), and recorded their fingerprint type. Using a chi square test I measured the correlation
between these two variables. I found that there is a correlation between fingerprint type and gender, however it is
very weak.
 ·College Deviance Research Project (March 2015)
A few of my fellow classmates and I conducted a study regarding which forms of deviance where the
most commonly committed by UNL college students. We also wanted to see if there were differences in the way
males and females committed certain acts. We created a survey listing a variety of deviant acts. We then went
out and gave them to college students across the campus. We then compiled the data and looked at the frequency
in which those acts were committed (male and female). We found that smoking (tobacco and marijuana), under-
age drinking, and body modification (piercings and tattoos) were the most frequently committed acts. We also
found that smoking (tobacco) was more associated with males, and unorthodox body piercings were more
associated with females.
