” Discussion Board Topic: Qualitative and Quantitative research methods – Although there are technically more than two, research methods can be divided into two domains called quantitative research methods and qualitative research methods. Briefly describe these two research methods. Provide at least three academic sources (wiki sites and the course text are not acceptable). ” this is a discussion board, NOT an essay, no title page. simply research the topic above, then retype the sentences  then answer the question, APA ciations.

To prepare for your Final Paper (due in Week 5), you will develop an outline, using the sample below, that includes an abstract, problem statement, and annotated bibliography.  Problem Statement: Evaluate a social problem and how it impacts the criminal justice system in the United States. You will recall that in the Post Your Introduction activity in Week 1 you identified a social problem. You may use that problem for your Final Paper or choose a different social and criminal justice problem. Outline: Using the sample below as a guide, provide an outline for your Final Paper. Remember that papers are expected to define a significant problem faced by the justice system, describe the scope and consequences of the problem, and discuss society’s responses to the problem (including public policies and other less formal responses). Your paper should also present a clearly reasoned alternative, supported by scholarly research. Annotated Bibliography: The purpose of creating a list of sources is to assist you in organizing and evaluating your research.   In your paper, ·       Identify the problem. Be sure to narrow your problem enough to allow a focused examination. ·       Describe the individual, social, and criminal justice system implications of this problem. Discussion of implications should be supported by accurate research data. ·       Summarize what experts say about the problem. ·       Explain what we, as a society, have done to remedy this problem. Consider public policies and other, less formal responses. ·       Analyze to what extent public policies and other, less formal responses are effective in addressing this problem. ·       Propose an alternative solution to the problem. ·       Analyze why the alternative is, or can be, an effective response to the problem. Remember to consider negative consequences of the alternative response. ·       Conclude with your thoughts about your chosen social problem. This is a good place to include personal opinions, assuming you wish to share them in a research paper. ·       Create an annotated bibliography (Links to an external site.). In the bibliography, include the following: o   Name of the source, including the complete bibliographic reference in proper APA format, as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center’s Annotated Bibliography (Links to an external site.) o   Summary of the source (at least one paragraph) including how this source will contribute to your paper. In short, define a problem, discuss the response, and provide alternative responses to the problem. For example, your problem could be drug use and abuse, with a focus on prescription drug abuse among teenagers. Your description of the problems should be fact based, relying on expert opinion. Your alternative can be an adjustment of current policy or a new direction. For example, you may propose longer prison sentences, or legalization of all drugs. Be creative, although suggestions must be supported by scholarly research.   The Final Paper Preparation outline ·       Must be three to five double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style. ·       Must include a separate title page with the following: o   Title of outline o   Student’s name o   Course name and number o   Instructor’s name o   Date submitted ·       For further assistance with the formatting and the title page, refer to APA Formatting for Word 2013 (Links to an external site.) ·       Must include an abstract. See the Writing an Abstract (Links to an external site.) resource for additional guidance. ·       Must utilize academic voice. See the Academic Voice (Links to an external site.) resource for additional guidance. ·       Must include an introduction and conclusion paragraph. Your introduction paragraph needs to end with a clear thesis statement that indicates the purpose of your paper. o   For assistance on writing Introductions & Conclusions (Links to an external site.) as well as Writing a Thesis Statement (Links to an external site.), refer to the Ashford Writing Center resources. ·       Must use at least five scholarly sources in addition to the course text. o   The Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources (Links to an external site.) table offers additional guidance on appropriate source types. If you have questions about whether a specific source is appropriate for this assignment, please contact your instructor. Your instructor has the final say about the appropriateness of a specific source for a particular assignment. ·       Must document any information used from sources in APA style. ·       Must include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style.

In this essay you are to compare and contrast Social Learning Theory and Social Bond Theory and their application to violent crime. Clearly describe and explain each theory and it’s policy implications. Compare and contrast their scope, parsimony, and empirical support. Then, use your critical thinking skills to come to a conclusion about which theory you think is best for explaining violent crime. Make sure your essay is organized, thoroughly cited, proofread, and in APA format.

I need the paper to be a 20 page literature review and theoretical discussion with a methods section. Topic can be on anything within the field of criminology but must have enough for 20 pages and 8 sources.

Kitty Genovese Case Review – Should the onlookers have been required to intervene? Should their failure to do so be considered a crime or a civil cause of action? Generally, should there be a duty to act if the onlooker can be of assistance? Select another country and assume the facts of this case occurred there. Would there be a duty for onlookers to act in the selected country?

Provide a one page, double-spaced paper that defines your knowledge of gang enforcement efforts underway in your organization or community

further develop your writing skills while applying critical thinking by explaining how criminological theory can help inform sentencing options. For example, as you read, general deterrence theory has limited effectiveness on reducing crime or recidivism. Additionally, restoration is extremely difficult to use in cases of sexual assault. However, rehabilitation seems successful for nonviolent drug offenses, and specific deterrence appears to reduce recidivism.1.)Select 3 of the sentencing options. For reference, the sentencing options fall into the following categories: Retribution, Rehabilitation, Incapacitation, Deterrence, and Restoration.2.)Find a real case representing your selected sentencing options, and provide a summary of each case.3.)Analyze the real case, explaining how theory can help improve the sentencing option.For example, if you know that swift and certain sentencing policies may reduce recidivism, how does theory help explain their success? Additionally, if you know that community notification for sex offenders appears to increase recidivism, how does theory explain the increase?4.)Summarize the benefits and consequences (both intended and unintended) of your selected sentencing options.

Identify a problem or issue related to crime and explain why you feel this issue or problem should be researched further. To help identify an issue or problem, consider your personal experiences, community issues, or national issues that relate to crime.Create a potential research question, and if appropriate, develop a hypothesis.Using the assigned reading material or other academic resources, identify why it was or was not appropriate to develop a hypothesis.Using the assigned reading material or other academic resources, define qualitative and quantitative research.Explain whether you would use qualitative or quantitative research methods to answer your potential research question. Include an explanation of why you feel one method is more appropriate than the other for the purposes of answering the potential research question.Your response should be approximately two to three pages in length (not including the cover sheet and references page). To be more specific, I am going to require that each student submit a 1,100 – 1,200 word paper.  The body (minimum word count) of the paper does not include the title page or references

In Divergent Social Worlds, Peterson and Krivo focus most heavily on differences between black and white neighborhoods. However, they also find that Latino neighborhoods tend to have higher crime rates than white neighborhoods, though not as high as black neighborhoods. Likewise, the article that we read about immigrant concentration, and the background notes that I provided, explained that neighborhoods with high concentrations of Latino immigrants tend to have much lower crime rates than would be expected based on their socioeconomic status. Based on the theory and research from all of these readings, discuss reasons for why Latino neighborhoods tend to have lower crime rates than black neighborhoods, despite the fact that these are both minority groups with similar percentages of the US population? Again, I am not asking for your personal opinion. Draw on the research to answer the question. Please reference Ruth d. Peterson divergent social world
