To prepare for this Assignment:

  • Review the datasets provided.
  • Construct a research question with social change implications based on one of those datasets.
  • Be sure to focus on the assumptions of this test and ask yourself, “Does it make sense to interpret the mean of this dependent variable?”
  • Remember that you will need categorical predictor variables.

The Assignment

Use SPSS to answer the research question you constructed. Write an analysis in APA format, including title page, references, and an appendix, that includes your data output and addresses each of the tasks listed below. The content should be 2–3 pages, including setup of the assignment, results, and interpretation of results. Your SPSS output should be included as an appendix.

  1. What is the null hypothesis for your question?
  2. What research design(s) would align with this question?
  3. What dependent variable was used and how is it measured?
  4. What independent variable is used and how is it measured?
  5. If you found significance, what is the strength of the effect?
  6. What is the answer to your research question?
  7. What are the possible implications of social change?

Early in your Assignment, when you relate which dataset you analyzed, please include the mean of the following variables. If you are using the Afrobarometer Dataset, report the mean of Q1 (Age). If you are using the General Social Survey Dataset, report the mean of Age. If you are using the HS Long Survey Dataset, report the mean of X1SES. See pages 533 and 534 in your Warner textbook for an excellent APA-compliant write-up of a factorial analysis of variance.

Article Critique
Write a 2- to 3-page critique of the research you found in the Walden Library that includes responses to the following prompts:

  • Why did the authors select factorial ANOVA in the research?
  • Do you think this test was the most appropriate choice? Why or why not?
  • Did the authors display the results in a figure or table?
  • Does the results table stand alone? In other words, are you able to interpret the study from it? Why or why not?

Criminal Justice Question

For you to receive the maximum benefit from this examination, you must take the test under examination conditions. Please follow these steps:

  1. Find a place where you can be alone and undisturbed for one hour;
  2. Before looking at the question, have your computer ready;
  3. Set a timer or clock to signal in exactly one hour;
  4. Put away all your books, notes and reference materials. You may not use them during the examination;
  5. When you are ready, start the timer and begin the examination;
  6. Do a brief outline of your answer before you start to actually begin to type your answer.
  7. When the hour is over, stop writing. Even if you have more to write, don’t do it.
  8. Submit your answer in the box below the assignment page;
  9. Be sure to keep a copy of your answer; and
  10. After you have submitted your answer, but before you receive the model answer, review what you have written and if you would like to modify or expand your answer, please do so. Many students choose to completely rewrite the answer without any time pressure. Do not submit this modified answer.

When you are ready, scroll down to the question and print it out without reading it. On most exams, (including finals, Baby Bar, and General Bar) you will be given a printed copy of the question even if you are using a laptop. When you have the print out, start your timer and complete the exam.

Practice Examination

Tommy was driving home from work and was changing a CD in his CD player. He did not see the traffic light had changed from green to red before he made it into the intersection. As a result, he did not see Susie crossing in the crosswalk and struck her with his car. When Tommy realized what he had done, he stopped the car immediately and got out to help Susie. When he saw that Susie was bleeding profusely, Tommy went back to his car to use his cell phone to call for help.

While Tommy was calling for help, Alexis was driving down the same street. Because Alexis was talking on her cell phone she did not see Susie in the roadway and ran her over, breaking her legs.

A statute in this jurisdiction makes it a misdemeanor to run a red light.

In an action against Tommy and Alexis, what theory or theories, if any, might Susie assert against each defendant? Discuss.

Regarding Miranda, the case has been hashed and rehashed. Today it means only “custodial” interrogations are illegal. So, what is a custodial interrogation as opposed to a non-custodial interrogation?

Miranda vs. Arizona

Miranda v. Arizona is among the most notable Supreme Court cases. Miranda was arrested, and after interrogation by the police department, he admitted that he had committed the crime. As a result, Miranda was sentenced to 30 years. Certain representatives of the society and the defense were worried about using interrogation techniques to force people to testify against themselves. Therefore, the change accepted by the Supreme Court required informing detained individuals about their right to remain silent before interrogation. Also, the decision says that any person has the right to express their unwillingness to participate in interrogation until the arrival of an attorney. In this case, police officers must stop the interrogation. The Miranda Warning significantly impacts any member of U. S. society. On the one hand, it reduces the opportunity to put pressure on falsely accused people and increases the degree to which ordinary Americans, including me, are protected in case of being falsely accused. On the other hand, the rule also applies to real criminals, which is not fair.

-you cannot just regurgitate the facts of each case

-There must be an analysis, using articles that have analyzed the impact of the case.

-Regarding Miranda, the case has been hashed and rehashed. Today it means only “custodial” interrogations are illegal. So, what is a custodial interrogation as opposed to a non-custodial interrogation? There have been many “exceptions” to Miranda through subsequent court cases. What are these, and why were they implemented? Miranda was decided by the progressive Warren Court. What is the sentiment today with regard to Miranda?

Referencing the material provided in this folder, write a 500-word response . “People are expecting more of body cameras than the technology will deliver,” Professor Stoughton said. “They expect it to be a broad solution for the problem of police-community relations, when in fact it’s just a tool, and like any tool, there’s limited value to what it can do.”
