Department Of Corrections and its impact on Recidivism An Exploration Of LA County Department of Correction: Program to Reduce Recidivisms
Instructions
Methods: For this section, you can rely heavily on the assigned text, but you’ll also want to find your own sources, too. Identify the methods you wish to use for data collection (survey, interview, observations, etc.). Describe how you will utilize these methods, who you will talk to, the interview or survey questions you will ask, and why you have selected these methods. How will this form of data collection fit with your overall project? Why did you choose these methods? What kind of data will it yield, and what are some of its limitations? Explain how you will use these methods, who you will talk to, what questions you will ask in interviews or surveys, and why you chose these methods. How will this way of getting information fit into your project as a whole? Why did you pick these ways to do things? What kind of information will it give you, and what are some of its downsides?
Findings: At this stage, you should have data coming in from your chosen methods, and you should have some preliminary findings that you are ready to link to the literature review. Describe what you now know about your chosen topic and the questions you are trying to answer. This is an opportunity to digest the information you have into something intelligible and usable by others. You don’t need to analyze the findings just yet. Work on discussing them so you have a chance to evaluate what it is you are working with now that you are fully enmeshed in your project.
