I have a paper I have to write for school I'm guessing this is going to be 99% of my grade since we are give now until November 29th to turn it in. Anyway here is what I need to do choose a topic for your research paper. The topic must be a current issue of concern (existing problem) in the job you intend to pursue in the field of criminal justice (i.e. policing, private security, probation, court, corrections etc.). A variety of a minimum five research sources must be used (i.e. books, professional journals, online articles, etc.). A paper that consists of only online sites and/or journal articles is not considered credible research. Presented during the research process include: a) To complete an investigative paper in a chosen career field. This paper will clarify major aims, arrange material to support aims and provide sufficient support materials; b) To evaluate, analyze, and synthesize information in one's chosen field of study via various information technologies; c) To identify which information technologies are best formatted for one's chosen career field; d) To explore the Internet to find bibliographic sources for investigative research; e) To demonstrate a theoretical understanding of rhetorical content.
What I'm trying to look for is a topic right now! I have come up with one or two ideas but not sure how they will do . First I was thinking of going to a issued duty weapon problem mostly the ammo that most officer have to use. The other topic I was looking at was over crowding of jails and how to deal with it! I was thinking Sheriff Joe!
Any ideas or advice would help I'm thinking the research is going to be the hardest part. Thanks for the help.
