Week 4 Topic:"Trying Minors as Adults vs. The Juvenile Justice System"There is much controversy over trying minors as adults and then incarcerating them in the adult corrections system vs the juvenile justice system. What benefits exist in sentencing a minor to the juvenile justice system? What risks exist for juveniles in the adult prison system that adults in the same system do not face? Do you see any long term negative consequences that come from incarcerating minors with adult criminals? For what crimes do you feel that a juvenile should be tried as an adult?2. Your initial post (your response to the topic) must contain a citation. It is your ideas supported by research. Please refer to the APA Power Point in the Start Here section of the classroom for information on proper formatting. There will be a deduction of 20 points for failure to cite a source within your initial post and to provide a reference at the end of your initial post. 3. Your initial post must be a minimum of 300 words

Question CXU6A Write and explanation of the difference between collecting data using individual interviews and a focus group (e.g., intent, selecting participants, conducting the interview or focus group) Given the topic you are currently using for your research, would you consider using a focus group for your study? Why or why not? Question CXU6B Review the Introduction to Coding and From Content to Coding media programs in the Learning Resources. Refer back to your observational field notes from Scholars of Change videos. From the remaining videos, choose a different Scholars of Change video and refer to your notes from your observation for this Discussion. Begin to code the transcript and the observational field notes of the Scholar of Change video you chose. (Note: You will only need one or two codes for this Discussion, although more are acceptable.) Write a brief description of the video you chose. Next, include an example of one or two codes and provide quotes from your notes or transcript to support your example. Finally, explain your reasoning for this coding. Question CXU6C Consider your role as a qualitative researcher and begin writing Part 2 of the Assignment. Part 2: Role of the Researcher Review your analytic memos, field notes, etc., written during each aspect of the data collection process, and examine your role and experience and how that is shaping your experience (reflexivity). Describe the roles you are portraying in this research effort (i.e., a graduate student, classmate, interviewer, etc.). Identify any ethical issues that could or did arise during the data collection processes (i.e., these could include doing a study within one’s own work environment, conflict of interest, or power differentials).
