Topic of Interest Research Project
This paper is a research paper on a topic of interest in my field of study. Mine is Criminal Psychology. It must be 1000 words or more.
Identify contemporary themes and topics you found in both the academic and professional literature as you prepared your Discussion Forum post earlier in the week and as you searched the scholarly literature for this assignment.
Speculate about why these themes and topics engage the practitioner community.
Based on your research and your own personal experience in your field of study,
Identify some of the contemporary challenges that confront practitioners in your field.
Examine the kind of information that would improve service to clients or advance the understanding of practitioners in your field.
Assess what you, as a scholar-practitioner, would like to know about your field of study.
Justify a topic of interest and a specific research focus (a general area of interest, not a specific question) you would like to pursue for purposes of work in this class (and, potentially, as a topic for your doctoral research project).
