on the topic and think of potential research questions Introduction:
Introduce the topic and issue
· History; context
· Why is this criminal justice issue important?
· Are there unanswered questions and/or more research needed? Is there call for policy reform (a problem)?
· Identify the purpose of your research: significance and/or relevance
Literature Review:
What is the current peer-reviewed literature? Tell a “story”, not a list of findings
· What have other people done about this or similar questions
· Tell a story: discuss the themes/agreements, discontinuities, breaks, disagreements, controversy etc. Emerging in recent literature about the topic
. Only use quality sources
and link them together
: Google Scholar, journals from JJAY Library (a minimum of 5-10 peer-reviewed sources)
· Key words and concepts relevant to the topic/question
· Relevant theory
The literature review is a major contributor to the development of your project. It helps shape your question by enabling you to find out what has already been done. Weave together their contributions into a narrative (a story).
Use the Literature Prep assignment (assignment 5) as a tool to help organize your thoughts and identify themes, contrasting thoughts, etc
. (I will attach assignment #5 as a guideline)
Decide and Define the Research Question:
What question needs to be answered that has not yet been answered by someone else.
· Make sure it is not too broad, not too difficult or unanswerable and in the context of the literature search and review. Is it feasible?
· State the research question precisely – your research will attempt to answer the question you pose
· 4 Kinds of questions that can form:
1
. What is the situation?
2
. What is going on here?
3
. What is related to what?
4
. What happens when…?
Methodology and Research Design:
Your “plan” for the research…How you are going to answer your research question. Decide on the best and most appropriate way to accomplish this. You will be discussing which methods you will use and why. This should relate back to the purpose of the research and your question.
Sampling Strategy: obtaining a portion of the larger population (total number of all possible individuals relating to a specific topic which could be included in the study) who will participate in the research.
· Identify the population for the study: who (or what) to be studied. The group (or institution) that needs to be researched to answer the question
· Decide on sampling methodology: how are you going to get a sample of that population
· Identify the exact procedure to obtain the sample (individuals participating in the study)
· Includes: criteria an individual needs to have to be able to participate in this research, identifying potential participants, ga.
