After completing the assigned readings, identify a criminal justice area, topic, or issue (for example, gun violence) focal point for criminal justice research.
Next, identify the research category (descriptive, exploratory, explanatory, or evaluation) that would be best suited for this topic. Explain why this research category is suitable for the topic that you selected. Your posting should be 250-500 words. It should cite at least one credible resource (the textbook, module lecture, required and recommended readings are excellent resources).
