Identify a research area and select a specific topic, review relevant literature, develop a research plan and design a survey instrument.

Research proposal & whatever title you make the proposal about

Students will have the opportunity to develop a research proposal on a topic in the fields of Sociology, Social Work and Criminology/Criminal Justice. In the research proposal, students will identify a research area and select a specific topic, review relevant literature, develop a research plan and design a survey instrument. You can choose to work individually or with another student (i.e., a group project should consist of no more than two students). Collaborative effort is encouraged, providing that you can find a workable partner and are able to build a positive and responsible working relationship.
