CRIM 4970

Students will critically analyze issues relating to the conduct of research in criminology, beginning with the development of research questions through to the dissemination of research results in academic journals and at conferences. They will write a proposed research design or method of inquiry to investigate a specific research hypothesis or issue. Students will present their research proposal in an open forum. Note: This is a seminar-based course. The research proposal for this course is based on an examination of the literature carried out in CRIM 4990 and will be used for the subsequent completion of CRIM 4995.
