    Considering these two cases, determine whether either should have been handled differently under the utilitarian or the deontological philosophies.

    Placement of graphs, figures, or tables: If you use graphs, figures, or tables in your
    paper, I will prefer that you note their location in the text, [TABLE 1 HERE], and
    compile all tables at the end of the paper. This is easier for both the writer and the
    reader.
    1. Be clear about your main theme or topic. It is sometimes easy to get side-tracked with
    alternative explanations or tangential issues. Stay focused on your topic.
    2. Clearly define your research question(s). In Criminal Justice, people sometimes use the
    word hypothesis which may be accepted by some writers but is a bit of a misnomer.
    Unless you are conducting an experiment in a controlled environment, you are not testing
    a hypothesis. Rather, you have a research question or questions that you will investigate.
