INDIVIDUAL PROJECT (RESEARCH PROPOSAL)

1. Identify a topic and conduct a literature search (Topic - Are Criminals Born or Bred: Is It as Simple as One or the Other?)

2. Complete an annotated bibliography for six (6) related peer-reviewed journal articles (completed - see attached files)

3. Research Question: Is it just one thing that contributes to an individuals crminal nature.

4. Write an introduction (statement of the problem, research question(s), hypotheses,  

significance of the study, description of participants, and brief description of data  

collection methods). The introduction should include only one of the two previously

submitted research questions.

5. Complete the research proposal with the following components: title page, abstract,  

introduction, literature review, methods, and references page(s).

*It is highly recommended to write on a research topic/question that you can develop into a  

thesis for graduate school. Since this is only the proposal for a potential research project, you  

may propose data collection for primary analysis.

The individual research proposals should be typed in Times New Roman (black font size 12),  

double-spaced with 1-inch margins, include in-text citations and references in APA format, and  

submitted as an electronic copy by the deadline. The first draft of the research proposal should be  

at least three (3) pages not including the cover page, abstract, and references page(s). The final  

research proposal should be at least ten (10) pages not including the cover page, abstract, and  

references page(s).

Attached what I’ve done so far it has been graded and reviewed already but I’m more than open to edits and add ins! This proposal will be used for two classes - Experimental Psych & Issues & Procedures of Criminal Justice Research
