***The relationship between mental illness and criminal behavior.***

**moving forward, I will be focusing on quantitative study only**
Assignment: Begin this activity by reflecting on your revised problem and purpose statements. Select a method and design appropriate for a doctoral dissertation study.  Quantitative studies must demonstrate both internal and external validity (e.g., large, random samples, statistical power, and representativeness). Qualitative studies must demonstrate validity within the context of the specific qualitative design (e.g., credibility, dependability, transferability, trustworthiness). Replication studies are not permitted. Your summary must address all of the following items.
Access SAGE Research Methods for a refresher on research terminology.
Continue your work on the template provided in Week 2 of the course and construct a 1 page rationale for your research method and design selection. Be sure to include the following discussions:
Provide a brief summary of the methodology and the type of data that will be collected. Describe and substantiate the appropriateness of the method to respond to the stated problem and purpose.
Provide a brief summary of the research design that substantiates its appropriateness to respond to the stated problem and purpose and includes a description of the data collection procedure and type of analysis.
Note how the proposed method and design accomplish the study goals, why the design is the optimum choice for the proposed research.
Provide appropriate foundational research method support for the proposed study design; cite seminal scholarly sources.
Explain the particular data-gathering techniques and data analysis processes.  Sample size of the study population should be identified and must be appropriate and justified based on the nature of the study design. Quantitative analyses must include justified sample size determination. A brief overview of the study design, variables/constructs, instruments, and analyses is provided based on current literature describing why the proposed method and design were chosen to address the study’s research question(s).
Indicate why the selected research methodology and design are the best choices for the study by explaining how they align with the problem and purpose statements as well as the research questions. 

use the attached written assignment for help.
First, restate your topic and remind your classmates of your thesis or main question and main points. Then, explain the research strategy you are using to develop your thesis or to resolve the problem statement.
Describe some key words and additional questions that have emerged from your search.
Finally, discuss the search strategies you have found to elicit the best results and where you are finding the most beneficial material. Be sure to include the strategies that have been least successful and why

(Book) Chapters 1, 2, 3 and 5 – minimum four-page, max double-spaced, paper analyzing information from all 4 chapters while citing at least 2 “points of discussion” for analysis from the chapters (see: ch 1 – p61, ch 2 – p82 and ch 3 – p121 and ch 5 – 188) – 2 points of discussion total, not 2 per chapter
Couple things, be sure each paper has a bibliography as a stand alone page at the end (this is in addition to the in text citations and footnotes – I know the textbook may be the only source for papers 2 and 3 but please list it along with any other sources you use). I believe strongly in bibliographies as they both protect you and show that your work is data driven from objective sources often heavily peer reviewed. It is also a central pillar in the criminal justice profession, often the question when you’re on the stand in court or in written affidavits (i.e. search warrants and wiretap warrants) is how do you know that and what source did that come from?). 
I know 4 pages will not cover the material to any large extent. Feel free to refine your focus on something that interests you from the chapters, or present from a wider perspective, either way ok. Within the body of the paper, allude / mention / reference 2 separate points of discussion from the various ones after the 4 chapters (not 2 from each chapter). The reason I do this is it allows you to focus on an area within the info you’re interested in and it shows some more critical thought based on the info associated with the 2 points..

Three-strikes laws are the most obvious and controversial use of selective incapacitation. In 2004, approximately 26 states and the U.S. federal court system had three-strikes laws. In most cases, three felonious convictions result in a mandatory life sentence with no possibility of parole. In the case of Lockyer v. Andrade, this was Andrade’s third strike in the state of California. Andrade was sentenced to 50 years with no possibility of parole. In your initial post, discuss the following: 
Is this sentence disproportionate to the offense? Why or why not?
What evidence-based strategy or criminological theories would you use to address three-strikes laws and their application? 
Do you feel that three-strikes laws are cruel and unusual punishment? Does this affect negative public perception of the criminal justice system?
