Unit 5 Applied Research -- Discussion topics support this units objective and should be completed after reading all
materials. Your responses should include original evaluation, synthesis, or analysis of the topic and contribute the
weekly discussion in a meaningful way.
In the interest of conducting a lively, engaging discussion, please keep the following in mind: Opposing viewpoints are
key to any vibrant discussion, but remember to use internet etiquette and be respectful of your classmates views and
opinions. Provide constructive feedback or ask clarifying questions if you do not understand a classmates comment.
Most importantly, have fun interacting with the unit content, your classmates, and your instructor!
For Discussion Board requirements, refer to your course Syllabus or to the Discussion Board Rubric, posted in Doc

Topic: Applied Research For this week's discussions, consider the recent events in Ferguson, Missouri;
Baltimore, Maryland; and related cities that have experienced protests surrounding law enforcement and the deadly use
of force. From a criminological research perspective, suppose we wanted to conduct a study to identify strategies for
addressing community members' distrust of the police. Given all that you have learned to this point, how would you
design the research study? In responding to this question be sure to address the following items: · Discuss the type
of data (quantitative and/or qualitative) you would collect and explain your rationale for the choice; · Explain the
sampling strategy you would use, including the type of sampling you would use to select study participants; · Identify
the types of data collection tools you would use to collect data; and · Explain the steps you would take to ensure
that you consistently and accurately collect and analyze your data.
