Defining Your Area of Research Interest

explore a topic Using sources, locate two published studies (one from a peer-reviewed journal and the other from a government research organization) that relate to any topic to explore. For example, if a person intend to study aspects of prison rehabilitation programs, locate two studies that relate in some way. For example, a person could use a study on the effectiveness of postrelease employment counseling.

On the basis of research and analysis gathered from the chosen published studies, respond to the following points:

•Describe the research question that the authors attempted to answer and the way they pursued the answers to these questions in their studies.

• Summarize the findings of the authors and give your impressions on the findings. Are the authors' findings similar to what you expected?

• Analyze whether the studies produce results that can be used to improve some aspects of the system.

• Describe how the methods in the peer-reviewed journal differ from the government-published report.

• Explain how the studies selected by you relate to the topic that you wish to explore.
