Merced Do Americans Support Restrictions or Not Support Restrictions Research Paper
Description
This is a cumulative seven (7) to nine (9) page final paper (excluding bibliography) for students to demonstrate their knowledge of the basics of research and how to collect data and conduct statistical analysis covered in units II and IV. As such, students will choose a Criminal Justice (CJ) topic and conduct research on chosen CJ topic (using criminal justice-related databases). Then, students will write a research paper based on the chosen topic. The components of this paper must include the: 1) abstract; 2) introduction; 3) literature review; 4) findings; 5) conclusion/discussion; and 6) bibliography/ references in proper APA format. Deductions will be made if the paper is missing components or there is improper usage of APA. Examples of papers will be posted.
Each student will work on an independent research project applying what we have learned in class towards investigating a particular topic or question related to criminal justice. Using the General Social Survey, each student will select a question (or dependent variable) of interest, write a literature review to identify relevant theories, causal factors, and published findings, offer one hypothesis to be tested, perform an appropriate statistical analysis using the relevant variables, and interpret and discuss the results.
