Document Summary

Ensure that your question is qualitative: we cannot look at impact/public opinion/public perception through solely qualitative study, #2. Make link between criminology & criminal justice and your topic: social justice related issues are fine and welcome; however topics that are of interest to you but have nothing to do with the course are not, #3. Understand the difference between your data (original material, e. g. , interview data from human participants, news paper articles) and journal articles for literature review (must be qualitative research articles from peer-reviewed journals): #4. Trying to establish correlation(s) requires quantitative study: we cannot look correlations, #5. Be sure that the number of interviews and/or focus groups is manageable given our time constraints.
