Essentially, understanding the terminology that is associated with a specific career path is important because of the use it gets in the line of work. In criminal justice and other social science careers, the terminology carries over and without understanding it completely, terminology can hinder research capabilities as well as understanding previous research materials. Although different criminal justice careers have their own terminology based on their line of work, the research terminology is nearly universal. How can not knowing the proper terminology affect you as you conduct criminal justice research?
Quantitative research is assigned numerical value and qualitative research is viewed as sensitizing ideas or terms that enhance the understanding. Quantitative research will use statistical data to help predict an outcome. This type of research may involve different variables that are studied to locate possible patterns or correlations between the statistical data and the assumptions from the researchers. Qualitative research will review the statistical data to determine the bigger picture. Qualitative research helps to provide a better understanding of crime and criminal behavior.
Running head: TECHNOLOGY AND COMMUNICATION Technology and Communication Paper CJA304 Introduction In this paper, I will explain how technology has affected the communication capabilities of specialized databases in the criminal justice system. The first step is to make a comparison of two types of specialized databases. The two specialized databases chosen are the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) and facial recognition. Both the overall positive effect and the overall negative effect due to new technologies will be reviewed. I will then discuss which new specialized technologies I may want to use and why.
It can depend on the investigation being held, the place and the difficulty of being able to solve the case. The investigator mindset is to find out why the crime happen, how it could’ve been prevented, and also investigate all the evidence that was found. These concepts can associate with the optimal mindset of an investigator manifest by how much the investigator knows, how much training the investigators has, and the experience that the investigator already has. The more training and
Research Process and Terminology Paper Kelli Love CJA/334 July 5, 2015 Greg Moore Research Process and Terminology Paper Every field has its own research process and to be a successful researcher you have to use applied research when working in the criminal justice field. There are some terms in research that apply specifically to the criminal justice field and without this knowledge it will be hard to accomplish your job effectively. The paper focuses on the different terms used, what is research and how it works in the criminal justice field. Terminology The research processed can be categorized as either basic or applied. Basic research looks at the cause, effect and nature of things.
Criminal Justice Policy Process Amber Pickett AJS/582 February 4, 2013 Joseph Gutheinz Abstract This manuscript will describe the criminal justice policy process. The manuscript will also include the key actors in the criminal justice policy process, the steps involved in the criminal justice policy process, and suggestions to improve the criminal justice policy process. Criminal Justice Policy Process Crime control policies, protocols, standards, and guidelines are the efforts of the government to protect society from criminals by reducing crime through initiating policies to control criminal justice issues. The actors of the criminal justice policy process unite to determine what laws and policies can make society a safe place for everyone (Marion & Oliver, 2012). The criminal justice policy process reflects what is best for society as a whole and not what is best for individuals.
Research Process and Terminology paper 08/13/2012 CJS/334 There are many research methods a professional may use in the criminal justice system when approaching an issue that needs a resolution whether it is to solve a problem or prove a point using research and evidence to get the correct results. The methods vary from using data that is precise and to the exact point or using something that is more elaborate and done on a larger scale multiple times to have a consistent result. Although there are different methods to finding an answer they all have the same basic model of problem solving in which we will be discussing. Basic Research Process Any basic research process starts off with a theory an attempt to try to explain the issue at hand, deductions leads to a hypothesis. A deduction is evidence found through simple research to narrow down a more informative form of a theory; you can say it is an official theory or scientific guess called a hypothesis, with more evidence of the issues a hypothesis is formed from a theory using deduction.
The Case of Rick Tiffany Allen CJHS/420 June 15, 2015 Tammla Price The Case of Rick The case management process is designed to help clients from different cultures and backgrounds improve their current situation. Clients within the criminal justice system come with various behavioral patterns and mental disorders that need immediate attention from case managers. These behaviors can cause individuals to commit criminal activity and become part of the criminal justice system. Case managers must be aware of behavioral issues among clients so they can use effective intervention practices that will reduce recidivism and promote public safety. Description of Rick Case managers have to manage clients
When you look at all this data we can not only establish a hypothesis its results are nothing but evident. That evident advantage that we find from this data strategy is what the criminal justice system stands for, proving answers with evidence. When we ask these individuals to give us there answers, opinions and information we need to guarantee them some kind of confidentiality but
Describe the design of the study. Identify an operational definition used by the researchers. Provide one example of inductive logic and one example of deductive logic presented in the results. Identify whether the research study is a quantitative or qualitative design. Explain your answer.
