Using the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), this quasi-experimental investigation compartmentalized 4216 low-income households into an intervention group (n = 2436) and a comparison group (n = 1780).

In many jurisdictions, the relationship between the …

Research has shown that children who are involved in school bullying or are victims are at risk of developing problems later in life (Craig, Peters, & …
