Research Discussion Board Assignment Module 5

Introduction: After reviewing this week’s chapter(s) go to the internet and find a site relating to this week’s module outcome 1. Post a link to your site (i.e. http://www.crimeview.org) and a short summary (3-4 sentences) of the site to the Research Assignment discussion board. Be prepared to discuss your finding on the discussion board should other students have questions or comments. These sites are to be reviewed by all students.

Ensure your links work in your posting so the site can be shared with your classmates. (If you see D for your grade, you forgot your link...if you see C your link probably doesn't work.)
