Methods, data collection, and analysis
Data is known as facts used for the basis of inference. Secondary sources of data would
best help to answer the research question, “What impact do Extreme Risk Protection Orders have
on public safety?” Secondary data has been interpreted and recorded and published in books,
journals, magazines and articles (Walliman, 2006). For this research question, secondary data
found in books and refereed journal would be appropriate as experts have reviewed...
