This activity requires you to write a survey schedule of closed-ended questions. These survey questions can address any criminological or sociological topic you choose. When designing these survey questions, pay particular attention to your question wording (avoid jargon, double negatives, biased phrases, and wording) and place your questions in an order that makes sense given your topic of interest (e.g., put demographic and filter questions at the beginning of the survey, and questions about sensitive issues toward the end). As with any closed-ended survey questions, you should provide a list of mutually exclusive and exhaustive answers for respondents to select.
