1. What is the topic for your proposal (from Unit 1)?
a. General Topic: Electronic monitoring
2. What is your hypothesis (from Unit 3)?
a. Hypothesis: Offenders with micro-EM devices are less likely to complain (about privacy) than offenders without micro-EM devices
3. What is your population for your study? Remember to be very specific and clear, including the geographic region for the study, appropriate facility, or appropriate documents to be used for your study.

4. Which sampling strategy is appropriate for your population, probability or non-probability sampling? Explain your answer.
a. probability as it will be used on a certain group of people who are using EM devices.
5. Which specific sampling technique will you use to select your sample? Why?
