Guidelines for Writing a Research Proposal Students are required to complete a research proposal as a course requirement (10 pages, double-spaced, using font Times New Roman, size 12). The purpose of this assignment is to help students gain some experiences in designing their own research. Students will not be required to conduct this research and collect data. While you write your proposal, please think that you will submit this research proposal to review committees of some funding agencies or foundations. A well-written research proposal can bring you funding ($$$) for your research. The research proposal is divided into the following three sections: 1) Introduction to your research topic, 2) Literature review of past studies on your research topic, and 3) Methodology overview relating to how you would collect and analyze data if you were actually completing the research project. The breakdown for each section is included below: Introduction In this section you will need to provide an introduction to your topic. This part includes a clear statement of your problem (the topic that you would like to do research on), the purpose of your study, why you think your research is important, and define the concepts you will study. Statement of the Problem – This is where you will introduce the problem or area that you are to study. This will require that you introduce your topic and explain the various dynamics of the topic – Length – ~ .5 pages. Purpose of the Study – It is here that you will explain the purpose of your study. What exactly do you intend to study. More specifically, what answers will your study seek to address (Note: Be careful of allowing bias into your proposal at this stage. For example, you can state that you seek to discover the impact education has on criminality, but do not state that you will show that education will reduce criminality – until you complete the study you cannot know this). Length – ~ .5 page. Research questions – What specific questions will your research try to answer? Given what others have found (through your literature review, you should know what others have found), what new information do you expect to find? Research questions can be regarded as a more specific version of the problem or objective described earlier. Length – ~ .5 page. Justification of the Study – Here you will explain why your study should be completed and the impact the results will have on the field of criminal justice or criminology. When you write this section pretend that you have to justify someone providing you with money to complete your study – in reality this is many times what you will be doing. Your justification for the study should include any arguments for how the results (positive or negative) will improve 1 criminal justice or the understanding of an area of criminal justice or criminology. Length – ~ .5 page. Terminology – In this section you will define any relevant terms related to your research. Include any terms that may not be clearly understood by the general population. Length – ~ .5-1 page. Total Page Count – 2.5-3 pages Literature Review This chapter is a summary of all other studies on your topic. This is the equivalent of a research paper and should follow APA guidelines for citations. This section will be the bulk of your research proposal. Length – 3 to 4 pages Total Page Count – 3-4 pages Methodology In this section you will discuss the procedures you will follow during the course of your research endeavor. Please keep in mind that you do not have to actually conduct the research, so this section will only detail how YOU WOULD HAVE conducted your research. Population and your sample – What is your target population? Who or what institutes/agencies/organizations etc. will you actually study? How will these individuals or institutes/agencies/organizations etc. be selected for inclusion and why are them being included in the study. Length – ~.5 pages. Data Collection – This section will include a discussion on how you will go about collecting your data gained from your survey instrument, etc. For example, if you will use survey method, here you will briefly explain the data collection process in terms of who will receive your survey, how it will be administered, how the results shall be collected, and how the information shall be input into the computer. Length - ~.5 page. Measurement — This part focuses on how you are going to measure your concepts or constructs. For example, if you use survey method, what types of questions will be included in your questionnaire, what information will be sought, and from what previous studies (if any) did some of the questions come from. Length - ~.5 - 1 page. Analysis – Describe the kind of analysis you plan to conduct. What is your purpose and logic of your analysis? Do you interested in precise description? Do you intend to explain why things are the way they are? Will you analyze the 2 impact of a new program? What possible explanatory variables will your analysis consider, and how will you know whether you’ve explained the program impact adequately. Length – ~.5 pages Total Page Count – 2 to 2.5 pages References Be sure to include a list of all materials you cite in your proposal. Please follow the APA style when you cite other’s work. Length – .5 to 1.5 pages. Total Length of the research proposal: 10 pages. 3

VIOLENT CRIMES AND RECIDIVISM RATES

Utilizing an exploratory and subjective approach, this examination venture will create a
rundown of the moves in the adolescent equity framework. The scientists trust that elements, for
example, the media recognition, strategy execution, and open subsidizing and assets, assume a
powerful part in how the framework is actualized. Through meetings and recorded research, new
elements and hypothetical develops may surface to be critical in our review. The scientists trust
that Oak Hill remedial office reflects the bigger changes in the adolescent equity framework and
goes about as the point of convergence of this review. Adolescent wrongdoing is a constant and
inescapable social issue in America. Adolescent wrongdoing speaks to more than 40% of the
aggregate captures for significant violations, including homicide, assault, and thievery (Hawkins
and Weis 1985). The expanding rate of adolescent detainment reflects that of grown-up
imprisonment. This hindered populace, which has been to a great extent overlooked by both the
composed law and society, makes awesome social and monetary expenses for the United States.
Adolescent misconduct and wrongdoing should be tended to and subsidies should be allotted to
explore so as to control the expanded rates of adolescent wrongdoing and, furthermore, give
more projects to restoration to this reprobate youth populace.

The District of Columbia has the most elevated rates of adolescent misconduct in the
nation and, of course, there are much more wrongdoings conferred in minority and low-salary
neighborhoods than in the well-off ones. So, a great part of the region comprises of generally
urban and distraught ranges. Jail time gives road validity rather than distance from society. The
adolescent equity framework in the District of Columbia has taken after the national patterns
speaking to a move from a rehabilitative concentration, built up by the production of a different
adolescent legitimate framework, to a more correctional concentration, set apart by stricter laws
and harsher disciplines. As of late, this has moved back to a rehabilitative position concentrated

on group based assets, guiding, and other emotional wellness administrations. Society's approach
towards helping this populace and annihilating youth wrongdoing has changed drastically.

Different components media scope; strategy execution, popular sentiment, and level of
subsidizing and assets have impacted these moves in the adolescent equity framework. Despite
the fact that the adolescent equity framework and wrongdoing rates are generally misconstrued
by people in general. With a specific end goal to better comprehend the hidden purposes behind
this change and development, particular variables will be examined and broke down. The issues
confronted by Oak Hill Detention Center speak to a hefty portion of the bigger issues that
torment the adolescent equity framework. The greater part of youth guilty parties in Washington
lives in minority, low-salary neighborhoods. They go to poor schools and have a couple of
instructive or recreational assets. These impeded groups need their encounters, voices, and
sentiments heard by the administration and people in general. The people group that appear to
cultivate adolescent wrongdoing and misconduct don't have the assets to accommodate their
childhood in helpful ways. This venture is restricted by the absence of research and assets that
have already gone into this theme. It is a restricted field and does not have the subsidizing to
advance more prominent interest and change inside the framework. There are a few definitions
that are critical to this exploration encompassing adolescent equity in the District of Columbia.

This exploration is vital in light of the fact that it might give a discussion to the
adolescent equity framework, and the sub-issues and impacts related to it, to be perceived and
caught on. It might permit different partners in the framework — from legal counselors and
lawmakers and non-benefit pioneers and scholastics to single parents and reprobate youth — to
voice their sentiments and share their points of view in a valuable way. Likewise, adolescent
