discuss the research question

The purpose of this workshop is to identify a topic to explore and narrow your focus so that it is a viable research question.

                                    RESEARCH QUESTION
~What do former inmates say would help prevent re-incarceration?

Explore how you would examine this question from a qualitative and a quantitative perspective

-Is the research problem encapsulated in a single question?
-Can I research this problem through social science research (rather than a natural or medical science methodology)?
-Do I have a bias about this social question?
-Does it have potential for providing important information?
