I start my thesis in 2008. It will center around the TBS industry, possibly using CEDU as the model. Unfortunately, it will be a quantitative analysis. (Qualitative is more fun to write.) I don't even think there are longitudinal studies to draw from (for good reason), but I know I have to conduct interviews. It has to be a data-based study.
I may be begging for interviews in the Spring, but for right now:
1. does anyone know of any quantitative studies done for CEDU, and also, on a different topic (but one that will be addressed when discussing the psychological vs. physical abuse of the program):
2. Why didn't CEDU employ restraints as part of its methodology in breaking down kids? Other places did. Was this a moral or legal imperative?
