  1. I believe that you are correct on writing search strings. Good Job!!! I liked how you used parenthesis in the Boolean one.

  2. Your search strings look great! I like the way you used the Boolean's choice of OR. Possibly you could have added all of your "OR's" together into one search string with theory of violence. Maybe that would narrow it down too much.

  3. You have some very strong search strings. You should be able to find plenty of valuable information.
