Research proposal

Each student will be required to complete the term project, which is a research proposal written in an APA Style. The project should have at least 8-10 pages of substance not counting the cover and reference page. Please include a Cover Page, an abstract and a list of references. The research proposal you write in this course will NOT be sent to the IRB for approval. This is because you will not be conducting actual research for the purpose of this class. You will, however, gain an insight as to how to write a research proposal.

Each student will be required to complete a research proposal, as the term project. The research proposal will include the following:

  • Title page
  • Abstract (100-120 words)
  • Introduction
  • Problem Statement
  • Purpose Statement
  • Hypothesis
  • Literature Review and Definitions included in the research
  • Research methods/design
  • References
  • Appendices – as needed (annotated bibliography, example consent form, example survey if used)

The research proposal (Term Project) must be in a Word Document (.doc) uploaded to the student’s folder through the assignment section. Students will be required to use at least five scholarly references in their work.

Students are required to follow APA Style guidelines.

Please make sure that you are using the course-writing rubric to use as a checklist so that you write a solid paper.

Students must use a topic, which was approved by the instructor or their research proposal.

Do not include quotes in your work. The student needs to display good critical thinking skills and not a string of quotes written by published authors. Your proposal is what is needed for a successful research project to be conducted in the future.

Do not wait to the last minute to research, write, format, and edit. Proper time management is required to turn in a quality research proposal that highlights your understanding of how to conduct scholarly research.

I have an annotated bibliography that I have completed so far and the rubric for the assignment. I also have picked a topic already

Also, it is a research proposal and not a research pape

Answer preview

As mentioned in the previous section of the paper, numerous research ventures seeking to understand the various risk factors that predispose children to engage in criminal or unlawful activities have for a long time excluded participants from Pacific Islander communities. As such, the primary purpose of this study is to figure out the various risk factors that predispose children from the Pacific Islander community to become juvenile offenders. Doing this is critical, considering it will help with the development of tailor-made and community-specific interventions that target this vulnerable population group. For a long time, most juvenile offenders in the United States have been subjected to retributive, punitive systems when committing crimes or engaging in unlawful conduct (Patacchini & Zenou,
