SEE DETAILS INSIDE...... Discussion: Presentation of Research Results PLEASE FOLLOW ALL DIRECTIONS ON THIS ASSIGNMENT AND YOU CAN USE OUTSIDE REFERENCES AND I HAVE ATTACHED A REWRITE TO HELP GUIDE YOU INTO FORMING THIS ASSIGNMENT SO JUST BUILD EVERYTHING FROM WHAT YOUV’E PUT TOGETHER IN WEEKS 1,2,3,4, AND ANSWERING ALL QUESTIONS BELOW THAT HAVE BEEN HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW THANKS……... Many criminal justice researchers are experts at analyzing data and performing research. Yet despite this expertise, presenting results orally or in writing can be a unique challenge. And the stakes can be high: If research results are not presented well, audience members and/or readers may not understand the importance of the research, or in extreme cases, they may dismiss the results as invalid. Presenting research effectively hinges on knowing how to clearly communicate to diverse audiences what you did, how you did it, and what you found. Much of this information can be presented in visually interesting ways to grab and keep the attention of audiences and readers. In Week 3, you explored various graphs that visually present data and research. Now, you will add to your repertoire as you consider strategies for presenting data and research. To prepare: Recall the criminal justice research topic that you chose in Week 1. Imagine an audience to whom you would present your findings (for example, criminal justice professionals, criminal justice scholars, community members, government officials, and policy makers). With your topic and the audience in mind, consider how you might best represent and present the data and research about the topic. Imagine that you have been given the opportunity to present information and data on the research topic you chose in Week 1. Your audience is various criminal justice professionals along with community members who are not as well-versed in quantitative analysis. First, describe an obstacle you could potentially encounter when presenting quantitative information to a wider audience that includes participants with varying levels of understanding of the criminal justice system and statistical data. Next, briefly explain what information and/or statistics you would present to help the audience understand the importance of this topic. Be sure to include in your answer what you can do as the presenter to ensure that everyone in the audience has a thorough understanding of the topic. Week 5 Discussion PRESENTATION OF RESEARCH RESULTS THIS IS A REWRITE GUIDE ONLY…... I think my research topic would be surrounding the deaths of individuals while in the custody of law enforcement officials in the past 10 years. Instances where people where people have died in custody crosses color lines and lines of jurisdiction. Obtaining accurate information as to the number of people and the causes, be it self-inflicted, medical, or possibly by nefarious means; there should be honest research in order present to communities, fellow law enforcement officials and politicians alike. My method of presentation would be simple, yet effective. Timeline bar graphs would be an easy way to illustrate my point. Be it an increase or decrease in deaths of people in custody would paint the portrait, (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, n. d.). Although, to better illustrate my research further, I would utilize a compressed frequency display to present more specific information like sex of the deceased, age, race, cause of death and location of death, (jail, patrol car, prison, etc.). One of the biggest challenges I see with trying to get information like this out to a wider audience would simply be financing. Doing research like this takes not only time, but it takes a considerable amount of money to travel and gather enough information accurately to get consistent analysis. Without proper funding, the research itself could be incomplete. Perhaps engaging with criminal justice programs at universities would be a good way to display one’s research and get their information out to the masses. But again, even when volunteering to research and present this information if you did have the audience; would still take money. References McNamara, C. (n. d.).
