PLEASE PICK CRIMINAL JUSTICE TOPICS!!! READ THE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY AND CAREFULLY PLEASE!!! USE QUALITIVE, QUANTITIVE AND MIXED METHODOLOGY PLEASE!
Competency
In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competency:
Compare and contrast research methodologies used in social sciences
Scenario
Choose a role from anthropology PDF, human services PDF, criminal justice PDF, or political science PDF. You have been working in this role in Washington, DC, at the Department of Justice (DOJ). You have recently decided to apply for another position within the DOJ, and you have been asked by the interview committee, which is comprised of potential peers and management, to explain methodologies used in research related to a topic in your field. You will demonstrate your critical thinking about research through an analysis of multiple methodologies within the same topic. This will be presented in a formal interview presentation.
Directions
Interview Presentation
You are analyzing research studies related to your field by discussing different types of research, their benefits and drawbacks, and why each method would be used. After choosing some of these sources earlier in the course, and after receiving professor feedback, complete the following:
Identify relevant quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methodology research studies. Include the following:
An example of each methodology in three separate studies
An explanation of how each research study fits the definition for the type of methodology
An explanation of how each research study directly relates to your intended topic
Explain the benefits of using each of the three major methodologies for your identified research topic. Include the following:
An explanation of how each methodology supports the research topic
An explanation of the potential results that each methodology might produce
Explain the drawbacks (potential downfalls or limitations) of using each of the three major methodologies for your identified research topic. Include the following:
An explanation of the identified drawbacks or limitations to the methodology
An explanation of where these drawbacks or limitations might be seen in each methodology
Explain why each researcher may have chosen their particular methodology to answer the research question. Include the following:
An explanation of the benefits of each methodology as they were applied to the research question
An explanation of the drawbacks of each methodology as they were applied to the research question
An explanation of why the researchers might think the benefits outweigh the drawbacks
What to Submit
To complete this project, you must submit the following:
Interview Presentation
This interview presentation, on a research topic of your choosing related to your field, should include the information given in the directions in order to meet rubric requirements. Your project can be presented in a variety of formats but must include visual representation in addition to talking points. Make sure to utilize the speaker notes function in the presentation if you do not include a video or voiceover.

Methodologies Exceeds proficiency in an exceptionally clear, insightful, sophisticated, or creative manner Identifies quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methodology research studies relevant to the chosen topic Shows progress toward proficiency, but with errors or omissions; areas for improvement may include identifying a methodology that was not included with the submission, or identifying studies better aligned to the chosen topic Does not attempt criterion 20
Benefits Exceeds proficiency in an exceptionally clear, insightful, sophisticated, or creative manner Explains the benefits of using each of the three major methodologies for the identified research topic Shows progress toward proficiency, but with errors or omissions; areas for improvement may include explaining the benefits of a methodology not included in the submission, explaining the potential results that each methodology might produce, or clearly explaining how the benefits align to the topic Does not attempt criterion 20
Drawbacks Exceeds proficiency in an exceptionally clear, insightful, sophisticated, or creative manner Explains the drawbacks of using each of the three major methodologies for the identified research topic Shows progress toward proficiency, but with errors or omissions; areas for improvement may include explaining the drawbacks of a methodology not included in the submission, explaining where these drawbacks might be seen in each methodology, or clearly explaining how the drawbacks align to the topic Does not attempt criterion 20
