These are the comments the professor made on my week 2 discussion

Hi Wilda,

This first part is excellent: To understand the many issues involving law enforcement and minority communities, it would require extensive research which would probably involve long-term case studies in various populations. For the sake of time and purpose of this course, I needed to narrow down my topic with the hope of providing a report that may benefit all parties involved. Dr. Sager provided feedback for me in week one of my discussion stating, The goal is to gather information and produce a type of report that the community can use to improve the relation among all groups.  With that being said, I understand that my action research project can be used as a catalyst for change in the community. I am looking to hone in and decide on a research question. In this respect you do not have the traditional intervention and post but rather are using the responses from the first interviews of the two groups (members of the community and officers) along with research you have found on the solutions to the topic and write a report to present to the community and officers. You should hold a focus group or interview after presentation of the report for the post.

Your proposed RQ above (Who are the most frequent victims use of excessive force?)  is a different topic from : I want to focus on police and community relation on how to restore public trust.

A more fitting RQ would be to ask: What action plans would improve relationships between the community and its police officers? This is unbiased and only seeking answers to improving relationships between the community members and the police. You have to decide what you are doing.

The first two questions are biased and written to elicit a certain response which we dont want to do in research. The third question is good and all other questions you construct for the interview/surveys should be along these lines:

Do you feel safe to call the police when an incident has occurred?

Do you feel the police target a specific community because they are minorities?

What do you believe it would take to increase trust in law enforcement again?  This is the heart of your study and what you want to determine!

The rest on data collection is fine although for a topic such as this you might want the post-survey to be a focus group (can be done face-to-face or over Zoom).
