Discussion: Presentation of Research Results
Week 5 Discussion PRESENTATION OF RESEARCH RESULTS
THIS IS A REWRITE GUIDE ONLY …
I think my research topic would be surrounding the deaths of individuals while in the
custody of law enforcement officials in the past 10 years. Instances where people where people
have died in custody crosses color lines and lines of jurisdiction. Obtaining accurate information
as to the number of people and the causes, be it self-inflicted, medical, or possibly by nefarious
means; there should be honest research in order present to communities, fellow law enforcement
officials and politicians alike.
My method of presentation would be simple, yet effective. Timeline bar graphs would be
an easy way to illustrate my point. Be it an increase or decrease in deaths of people in custody
would paint the portrait, (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, n. d.).
Although, to better illustrate my research further, I would utilize a compressed frequency
display to present more specific information like sex of the deceased, age, race, cause of death
and location of death, (jail, patrol car, prison, etc.).
One of the biggest challenges I see with trying to get information like this out to a wider
audience would simply be financing. Doing research like this takes not only time, but it takes a
considerable amount of money to travel and gather enough information accurately to get
consistent analysis. Without proper funding, the research itself could be incomplete. Perhaps
engaging with criminal justice programs at universities would be a good way to display ones
research and get their information out to the masses. But again, even when volunteering to
research and present this information if you did have the audience; would still take money.
