As you discussed in this unit’s Discussion Board, survey research is one of the most common ways of collecting data. However, not all survey research is created equal. In this activity, your task is to collect at least 5 different examples of surveys used by local police agencies. Using these examples, write a 4-page report comparing the different examples. In your report, provide at least 5 examples associated with best practices or examples that you believe could be improved. Supply a ranking of the different surveys, and show your favorite and least favorite survey, again supplying an explanation.

The specific steps are as follows:
Select 5 different surveys used by criminal justice agencies. Make sure the surveys are blank and have not been completed by respondents.
Choose your surveys here. You may also use surveys that are not on this list.
Provide a brief introduction about each of the 5 surveys that you selected. Explain which survey is your favorite and least favorite – and why.
Write at least a 1-page explanation about your survey selections.
Using your 5 selected surveys, find at least 5 examples of best practices or areas that could be improved upon. Are your identified surveys designed well, easy to read, and a good length? Are your identified survey questions confusing, too complicated, too long or is there something else that could be improved upon? How would you improve identified weaknesses?
