Blog Post #1 Research Topic Ideas

Greetings!

Having completed my undergrad in criminal justice and now making a transition to technical writing and digital rhetoric my interest in public safety has grown. I want to be able to connect the two fields to create understanding, better communication, and awareness. I hope that some of these topics will help. My research topic ideas are:

  • What technological advancements are being done in law enforcement
  • How social media affects the public's trust
  • How the current approach today affects public safety and the things they might observe, analyze, and do towards the general public
  • What new knowledge we are able to make
Comment and let me know if you any suggestions! Thanks!

    Hello Sam,

    I think your interest in public safety is a great segue from criminal justice. If feels like it makes perfect sense. I believe it will be well received with regards to the current climate of law enforcement issues we are facing today. Additionally, for you to examine how social media affects the perceptions of the public's trust will be fascinating. I think you will be able to interest/hook a big audience when considering the different social media platforms you can use. Facebook will draw the middle- to older-aged groups, while Twitter and Instagram will likely capture the young to old alike.

Blog Post #3 Research Gap

The topic I had chosen for my literature review: h ow social media on public safety affects the public's trust? Having already presented particular circumstances, that trust between the public and public safety had been broken , I was able to find critical evidence on h ow public safety attempts to repair its relationship with broken communities and additional information on h ow social media influences police agencies and their relationships with the public. If there was a research gap from the review, I would say it is the question of how different lived experiences, emotions, and behaviors may provide insightful meaning to public organizations. I believe these experiences, emotions, and behaviors can be examined by conducting qualitative research. I'd be open to hear what different qualitative research methods I could possibly use for the research proposal. As of now these were the methods I was thinking about: interviews, focus groups, usability tests, field observations,...

Blog Post #5 Questions

 What I've learned from designing a sound research study is you have to be very meticulous. The process is not easy but it's not complicated either. Being accountable led me to be very efficient about my work. This allowed me to become confident and well-acquainted with my topic, allowing me to compose a satisfying piece of literature. What this has taught me about future roles as a technical/professional communicator is one must be reliable and decisive. Upon completion of this assignment I believe your preparation becomes critical in producing exceptional literature.

Blog Post #4 Plans for Revisions

I think the opportunity for revision is perfect to improve especially when addressing a paper like a research proposal. To improve my research proposal I'd like to: state my method clearly (mixed, quantitative, or qualitative)  add IRB mentions closely follow the assignment sheet that Dr. Bacabac is suggesting  I still have to write my conclusion and this part is what I'd like to really work on as I tie this whole proposal together.  As for now, I like my topic. I think that it's purpose is clear and persuasive.
