You have been asked to conduct a study of the relationship between watching CNN and fear of violent crime. Using a � classical � experimental design, describe how you will conduct this research. You will have access to 200 university students who have volunteered for the study. Dependent and Independent Variables Control Group and Experimental Group Sampling Pre-test and Post-test
