Crim research Literature review

Instructions

A literature review demonstrates your understanding of existing research and shows how your proposed study builds on or addresses gaps in the current literature. For this assignment, students will complete a first draft of their Literature Review that critically examines prior academic research related to their research question with a focus on the methodology used in past studies. This is not a simple summary of articles; instead, you should synthesize findings across studies and evaluate how previous research has approached the topic.

Your Literature Review should include most if not all of the following:

  • Review relevant peer-reviewed academic studies
  • Be organized thematically using appropriate subheadings
  • Discuss the methods used in past research (it is a research methods class), including strengths and weaknesses
  • Address issues such as generalizability, data sources, and outcomes examined
  • Clearly identify gaps or unanswered questions in the literature that your proposed study will address

The Literature Review section should be about 4 pages long.

Feedback will be provided so this section can be revised for inclusion in the final research proposal.

Requirements: 4 pages
