I have provided an outline for a research paper. I have also provided instructions on writing your paper. Writing this paper will be different then other papers you have written, in that I have provided you with a topic and other paper content. As you begin taking your chapter exams the purpose of the paper will reveal itself. The contents of the chapters explain the purpose of each part of your writing assignment. Please email me with your questions. See Paper Instructions – Your paper is a report on the following problem. 1. Here is the problem you are seeking an answer for. (remember research begins with a question you wish to answer – below is the question you are answering for this assignment) You are the Chief of Police in the City of Omaha, Nebraska with a population of 446,000. You are wanting to know if your department (under your leadership) is having an adequate effect on the crime rate when compared to other cities of similar population. Your thoughts are – perhaps if you find a city which has had a greater effect on the crime rate, you can explore what they are doing differently as they target crime in their city. Perhaps you can utilize some of the same crime fighting techniques in Omaha and lower the crime occurrence rate in Omaha. a. You are interested in the rate of crime for the following crimes: murder, theft, aggravated assault, robbery, rape, auto theft, burglary and the total of all crimes. b. for the years 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 a period of five years. c. You are interested in comparing the City of Omaha to 5 other cities of similar population to see if there is any difference between the rates of the different crimes over time. See Paper Instructions for more paper expectations. Data table is provided. If you follow the instructions for this assignment and include all parts of a research paper, your paper will approach 15-20 pages in length. (I paid for 10 pages because several pages will be filled by the tables to make it 15-20 pages) Take the outline that I have provided and include information (summary) of the contents of your study. Each of the titles and subtitle should have information reflective of your study – usually a paragraph will adequately explain. Example Introduction Zero tolerance policies at schools were put in place to help protect our children. However, there are some occasions in which the polices have actually harmed good students. This paper will discuss the harms in an effort to prevent future harms and create change that will provide alternative solutions. Your introduction presents the following problem. 1.
