My research question: Does victim-offender dialogue and mediation programs reduce recidivism?
This week you will submit a draft of Section III (Methods) of the Capstone Project Report.
As outlined in the Capstone Report Checklist, Section III should be 1-2 pages in length and should contain the following:
Selection criteria: Specify study characteristics such as years considered, types of studies (e.g., quantitative and/or qualitative) for eligibility
Search strategy: Present full electronic search strategy for at least one database.
In drafting this section of the paper you should use as your model the Methodology section in this week’s required reading by Farrington and Welsh, “Improved street lighting and crime prevention.” http://www.crim.cam.ac.uk/people/academic_research/david_farrington/lightsw.pdf
