This week you will have three choices of research paper topics. From the following three options, choose ONE
- To what extent do traditional policing strategies (as described in the readings and your research) rely upon deterrence theory? Are these strategies effective at addressing all varieties of crime and criminals? Why/Why not?
- Given that the research suggests that spending more, and adding more police officers does not have a notable impact on crime rates; should we continue to pursue this approach or are there other important outcomes that an enhanced patrol presence could affect?
- Design your own research paper. Perhaps there is something in the reading that sparked your interest and would like to understand more deeply? If so, this option is for you! Please develop an initial research question to answer based on this weeks readings.
Requirements: 5 pages
