Policing in American Cities: An Empirical Studies

The cities of the United States have had respective policing institutions since their inception and they act quite independently where the federal government can play very little in managing its issue. Nationally over the years policing due to bad handling of public complaints which got the name "police brutality"--which also took place in different cities. Eric Garner, a 43-year-old black man died on July 17, 2014, on the street of Staten Island, New York when the police were trying to arrest him for selling single cigarettes from packs without tax stamps. Michael Brown Jr., an 18-year-old black man died due to a police shooting in Ferguson, Missouri. Similarly, George Floyd's death place in the street city of Minneapolis. Life 9-minute footage of George Floyd's death was not a single phenomenon of American City Policing similar incident took place in 1991 in Los Angeles where four LAPD officers had done similar acts against an African-American motorist that was videotaped and telecast. Turning brutality against African Americans has become quite a recurring phenomenon in many cities of America. In American cities, some police due to lack of proper training act brutally "police brutality" in general has become a part of criminal justice textbook material. Currently, our aim is to study the law enforcement agency like city police departments of the Commonwealth of Virginia. For that matter, you have carried out a couple of different inquiries now you have to write a research proposal-you will write a research proposal. I will assist you; however, you must be committed and continue working routinely. Do not expect to complete this type of work in short-time intensive-care-type work. Knowledge about a system comes gradually by reading the contributions of others.

You have already selected a contemporary criminal justice topic for study--the Policing System of the Commonwealth of Virginia and have done some work on an annotated bibliography. Now you must work on a research proposal on the topic. At this time, you have to follow the given below steps to write the research proposal:

Question A. Develop or define the problem you have already selected.

Question B. Organize your annotated bibliography into an extensive literature review format. Give a theoretical explanation of the problem.

Question C. Formulate or develop one or more hypotheses related to your study topic.

Question D. Determine and describe the research design to complete the study.

Question E. Determine and describe the data collection strategies-Quantitative or Qualitative.

Question F. Describe the data collection strategies.

Question G. Proposed data analysis techniques.

Question H. Summarize the findings and write a report.
