The text below is what they want out of our reports and i also attached a pdf they gave us explaining the structure they want and how reports should be in terms of content etc i thought it might help give u an idea cause its a uni report and their expectations are specific.
(I have attached how the report should like as this assignment is a report and not an essay)
The Report asks you to look at a specific area of police research and demonstrate an understanding of how police scholars have developed either a conceptual or empirical research agenda to better understand police work. You should be able to evidence an understanding of how the area has been researched, debates that may have arisen between researchers, and difficulties or challenges that are evident in researching these topics. For the Report you need to demonstrate a clear assessment and understanding of the relevant literature. As the Report is only 1000 words you will need to be concise.
The Report is designed to enable you to achieve two of the learning objectives for the module:
*Demonstrate knowledge and critical understanding of empirical research on policing, and;
*Evaluate evidence from criminological studies of policing, including the strengths, weaknesses and limitations of these studies
Guidance
To guide you in writing your Report, it may be useful to consider the following questions in relation to your chosen topic.
*Why have police scholars considered this topic important?
*How have police scholars researched the topic?
*What are the scholarly debates and/or developments in research in relation to your chosen topic?
