CJ 622 - Research Methods for Community Change

Credits: 3

This course will expand on existing research methods coursework by exploring the specific methods for studying community and social change. We will study current methodology that is in use and evaluate results, policy, and practice for its efficacy. The course will lean heavily on the use of best practices in the area of policy assessment evaluation as well as implementation of evidence based practice. Students will be required to develop a research proposal for an existing criminal justice policy. This project will necessitate that students examine the policy for its effectiveness as well as the reasons for implementation initially.
