In preparation for your presentation to department leadership, you and your colleagues contacted other professionals in your field to discuss theories, quantitative methods, qualitative methods, mixed methods, and variables that could support research design for study on a program to improve community policing.
You and your colleagues set a time to discuss the Institutional Review Board (IRB) and ethics in your research design. Creswell and Creswell (2023, pp. 96) discuss the IRB in Chapter 4, and they cite Sarantakos (2005) in listing IRB interests.
You have also been tasked with identifying issues in research design in the areas of social justice. A leading crime analyst from another jurisdiction calls the meeting to order and then presents a request for each attendee, which includes you and your colleagues.
The requests are as follows:
Explain how two theories have been used or could be used, to support a quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods study in community policing.
Identify a source of data that could be used for a quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods study on community policing.
Examine independent variables, dependent variables, and control variables used in a study on community policing published in the past five years.
Analyze a social justice issue, ethical principles, and Institutional Review Board (IRB) factors in research design for a study on community policing.
