Why research?

Perhaps you are planning to work in a criminal justice profession.  You would benefit from research if you know how to do it.  Most criminal justice professionals routinely research and obtain statistical tabulations to locate issues in the department, or to change specific programs.  NCJRS, The National Criminal Justice Reference Service was established to archive and distribute research reports to criminal justice professionals.  These reports are specifically prepared to inform the criminal justice community of new developments and the research statistical results of resent programs.

Probation officers sometimes test these new approach to supervise clients. Many cities have evaluated services provided to their community by using research statistics.  So, criminal justice professionals need to not only interpret research accurately, but also how to produce accurate research.

Research Paper- "Topic"

Your paper must contain cover page, table of content, numbered pages, 3 or more citations, and all content relevant to a APA research style of paper.
