What do my critics say about the problem and my particular solution?

Overview
Research is the essence of scholarly discourse. The
graduate student should, at a minimum, be given to critical thought in a way
that exposes gaps in the literature and offers new insight to more improved
methodologies and policymaking. The Socratic method is the workhorse of the
young scholar. Succeeding in failing to disprove a hypothesis is the hallmark
of achievement in this regard. For this course of study, the student should
identify critically apparent flaws in current criminal justice policymaking and
offer improved pathways to policing, corrections, and the judicial system.
To do that, you must have a foundation upon which to build
this hypothesis. We begin this process with the Research Paper: Thesis
Statement and Annotated Bibliography Assignment.
The exact requirements for the Research Paper:
Thesis Statement and Annotated Bibliography Assignment are outlined as
follows:
·
Length
of assignment (see Research Paper: Thesis Statement and Annotated
Bibliography Template)
o
Include
any information that is excluded from this length (e.g., title page, abstract,
reference section, etc.)
·
Format
of assignment: APA
·
Number
of citations: 6
·
Acceptable
sources (e.g., peer reviewed or scholarly journal articles published within the
last five years)
In this course, you will submit an original Literature Analysis based
upon a current problem or trend in criminal justice today.
You will choose the topic for this assignment so long as it relates to
criminal justice. The topic will be closely associated with a certain or a
specific problem in the cybercrime profession or discipline today that you will
develop and defend.
The literature review in the body of this paper must cite at least 8
scholarly resources that are specifically related to the hypothesis and Thesis
Statement (current, relevant, credible, and each carries its weight) with a
clear and meaningful connection between all the resources.
As the body of your Research Paper: Literature Analysis
Assignment will require an
argumentative position, be sure to obtain scholarly resources that serve to
answer the following questions (as the research paper must provide answers to all
of the questions a person would ask if one defended the hypothesis to another
person):
·
What is
the current problem?
·
What does
the literature say about the problem?
·
What is
the solution?
·
What gaps
in the literature will my solution address?
·
What do my critics say about the problem and my particular solution?
·
What are
the implications of my research?
·
And a
conclusion.
In order for you to have a rudimentary
understanding of what might be necessary for such an undertaking, you will
complete a Research Paper: Thesis Statement and Annotated
Bibliography Assignment.
This will provide you with the structure and direction needed to move forward
with your initial hypothesis. You must choose a thesis statements of your own
for the Research Paper: Thesis Statement and Annotated
Bibliography Assignment.
