*the research proposal is focus on suburban area which the sources has to be suburban area be noted that i need 8 sources so 3 sources can be police patrolling and 3 others can be suburban other 2 can be rural area or urban just to make a compare while talking about the suburban
*The basics:
• The draft part I must be NO less than 4 pages and NO MORE than 7 pages long.
• Proposal Draft length includes the following
o The “body” of the proposal (i.e., the intro and the literature review)
• Page length does NOT include the following
o The title page
o The references
o The appendices
• You must use 12 point font. Only Times New Roman or Arial are permissible (TNR will allow you to squeeze more in and Arial will allow you to meet the minimum page requirements). No hand-written assignment will be accepted.
• You must use 1-inch margins all the way around the paper
• You must double space the paper. Multiple pages need to be stapled together
• No space between paragraphs
• You may include footnotes. They must be located at the bottom of the page where they are referenced (not at the end of the paper as an endnote). Footnotes must be in 10 point font
• The title page must NOT have a header or page number on it
*The Body: The body of the draft is composed of two main parts
1) The introduction. Describe the importance of the research question of your choice. Provides the reader with the research background of your project.
2) Literature review. It should be largely based on your assignment 2 with some additional transitions to make sure that the proposal flows well.
It should be around 4- 7 pages. The lit review can be done in two ways
o Temporal review: gives a history of the research that has preceded your proposal. Starts from earliest work and moves forward in time to the present.
o Conceptual review: provides the reader with previous research that has been conducted on different variables in your proposal. For example, if you are testing two variables – say, the effect of education and poverty on juvenile prostitution – the review would cover each variable separately. There would be a brief review of research on education and juvenile prostitution, then a brief review of the research on poverty and juvenile prostitution. That would lead up to your proposal which proposes to study the combined effects of education and poverty on juvenile prostitution.
• For the purposes of this paper I want you to use at LEAST EIGHT references (six of which must come from academic, refereed articles, and the other two of which can come from an academic book). These sources must be original material (i.e., no magazine or newspaper articles, no web sites, and no textbooks).
• Use APA style for all referencing and general style requirements. You can find copies of the APA guide in the library.
Note:
You need to provide adequate transition between different sections. For example, the introduction should signify the importance of the research topic; then you identify empirical studies to see what we have learned about this topic. Then the review of literature should serve as a guidance to help you design your study.
References: Use APA format. List all bibliographic references in alphabetical order.
