Impacts of Neighborhood Characteristics on Juvenile Delinquency Research Paper
I’m trying to study for my Social Science course and I need some help to understand this question.
-
Research model step 1. What sociological topic would you focus on, if you could design a social research project without any concern for costs?
- What are your motives for studying this sociological topic? Identify at least 5 motives and briefly explain your reasoning for each motive.
- To help you identify a sociological research topic that you’re interested in, ask yourself: What have been my favorite classes in college thus far? What did I like about them? What did I learn in them? What extracurricular activities am I involved in? How do I enjoy spending my time when nobody is telling me what I should be doing?

Research model step 2. Develop four sociological research questions that you might investigate about the topic you just selected (in Research model step 1). Each question should reflect a different research motive: description, exploration, explanation, or evaluation. Be specific.
- Description: Research that defines and describes social phenomena.
- Exploration: Investigation of social phenomena without expectations.
- Explanation: Research that identifies causes and effects of social phenomena.
