What are your ethical and legal responsibilities to ensure that your final report will be of the highest ethical standards?

I just need an extra page of research added to my paper. Either some topics need to be expanded upon or new topics added. Attached is the research paper that was already started.  Below is the details of the original project.

 

Based on the feedback from your instructor and peers regarding your topic, finalize the thesis that you will pursue for your research. Now you will develop a research plan that will include the following:

• Thesis statement: This statement presents the problem or issue you intend to research, and it should be clear and concise.
• Hypothesis: This is a statement of prediction regarding the results of the problem or issue. Briefly identify your working solution to the problem. How might your working solution solve the problem? Be sure to note that your working solution will evolve through continued research and analysis.
• Measurement and analysis approach: Define the key points that you will research and explain how you will gather and analyze the data you find. Intend to incorporate information related to technology and crime statistics that apply to your issue.
• Applicable resources: Identify 5 sources that you have found that are the most relevant and best support your purpose statement. List the sources and then record the main idea as notes to use as part of your research later. Identify case studies, library, Web, and other scholarly resources.
• Ethical standards: What are your ethical and legal responsibilities to ensure that your final report will be of the highest ethical standards?

  Running head: JUVENILE JUSTICE RESEARCH PLAN 1

  JUVENILE JUSTICE RESEARCH PLAN 2

  Thesis Statement

  Over the past decade, there has been a decline in offending by juveniles. However, the number of youths that are confined in the pre-trial secure detention is increasingly high (Siegel, 2014). It is estimated that the youths that live in detention centers are more than 27,000 (Siegel, 2014). This number has grown by 72% since the 1990’s (Siegel, 2014). Jurisdictions have also continued to rely on youth’s incarceration despite that research that demonstrates long-lasting and critical consequences of juvenile detection for the juveniles involved in the courts. There needs to be more alternatives to the incarceration and the prevention of delinquency.

  Hypothesis

  Juvenile delinquency and incarceration can be reduced through special programs that are designed to keep elementary and secondary school student by preventing arbitrary and unwarranted expulsions and suspensions. This can also be done by providing adequate resources and sufficient technical expertise to local and states communities to enable them deal with the juvenile delinquency problems comprehensively. The juvenile delinquency incidence can also be reduced through recreation activities and programs specifically designed to give the youth social skills, constructive use of time and to enhance self esteem. Incarceration and delinquency incidences also result from the large annual cost, personal security, wasted human resources and the threat to national welfare constituted by juvenile delinquency (Lambie, 2013). This requires the federal government to take an immediate and comprehensive action to prevent and reduce delinquency.

  Measurement and Analysis Approach
  
  

  The research will focus in providing the ongoing thorough evaluation of the programs that are assisted by the federal government to assist juvenile incarceration and delinquency prevention. It will also provide a rationale for technical resistance to both private and public programs for juvenile incarceration and delinquency prevention. The data will be gathered form the various agencies that offer programs regarding delinquency prevention and incarceration. It will include analyzing the relevant statistics concerning crime and analyze the effect of delinquency on the results. This will assist by providing necessary information for technical assistance that include technology transfer to the various states in designing and utilizing risk assessment mechanisms to enable the juvenile justice personnel to determine appropriate incarceration alternatives and sanctions for delinquency prevention.

  Applicable Resources
  

  1. Two Decades of JDAI: From Demonstration Project to National Standard
  

  This report is relevant since it captures the successes of JDAI in more than one hundred jurisdictions in the United States (Siegel, 2014). This includes 23% correctional facilities commitment reduction since the beginning of the program in 1992 (Siegel, 2014).

  2. The Missouri Model: Reinventing the Practice of Rehabilitating Youthful Offenders

  This report is relevant as it highlights the achievements that are associated with reduced recidivism, improved community transitions and better educational progress (Siegel, 2014). The Missouri model achieves this at a lower cost than other juvenile correctional systems (Siegel, 2014).

  3. No More Children Left Behind Bars: A Briefing on Youth Gang Violence and Juvenile Crime

  This study concludes that education based prevention programs and community based programs are more effective than the suppression policies for the youth (Siegel, 2014). These are the policies that lead to the increase in prosecution and incarceration of the juveniles (Siegel, 2014). It also consists of an incorporate research from many institutions regarding, public health, economics and educational psychology (Siegel, 2014).

  4. Jailing Juveniles: The Dangers of Incarcerating Youth in Adult Jails in America

  This is a campaign that highlights the dangers associated with the incarceration of youths in the adult jails (Siegel, 2014). It also provides policy recommendations at both state and federal levels to alleviate this problem (Siegel, 2014). It also cites many studies that are completed by criminologists and physicians (Siegel, 2014). It concludes the dander of incarcerating the youths in the adult jails can make them re-offend.

  5. One in One Hundred Behind Bars in America

  This study concludes that the policies that have lead to increased incarceration rates impacts the minority communities disproportionately do not decrease recidivism and that they impact the states budgets severely (Siegel, 2014). According to the report, more than 50% of the released offenders will return to the prisons within their first three years of freedom (Siegel, 2014). This shows the need for adopting new incarceration alternatives.

  Ethical Standards

  1. Honoring trust and protecting the research participants.

  The research will endeavor in protecting the social, psychological and physical well-being of the individuals it will research on as well as respecting their interests, sensitivities, rights and privacy.

  2. Anticipating harms

  The research will be sensitive to possible consequences of this study and will endeavor in guarding against the predictable harmful effects. Consent from the subjects will also be used.

  3. Avoiding undue intrusion

  Have to be aware of potential intrusion of enquiries. The research will not override the values of the society or ignore the interest of the subjects that will be studied.

  4. Negotiating informed consent

  Have to follow the constitutional law of the land that requires the enquiries that involve human subjects to be based on freely provided informed consent. This principle will enable a respectful and truthful exchange between the people being studied (Babbie, 2012).
