Research Methods in criminal Justice

General Topic: Electronic monitoring

Problem: Electronic control has been trending issues in the world especially for states that have advanced in technology as the United States. The issue brought on board is that victims have raised some complaints on the system that intrudes into their private life while the United States governments stick to their strict measures of safety and security. The study, therefore, seeks to understand the impacts of electronic monitoring to the victims and later draw conclusions and recommendations about electronic monitoring legalization.

Professor response:

Electronic monitoring is a good topic.

Good job but remember that students are proposing to evaluate a specific, cause and effect relationship between 2 variables (1 problem and 1 solution).

As such, we are not trying to understand impacts, draw conclusions, or make recommendations. Therefore, begin focusing on just determining a specific problem to evaluate.

You mentioned complaints about privacy. This is a good problem to evaluate.

We will continue to narrow down your problem and determine a solution for it in units 2 and 3.
