EXAMPLE: in research on police use of deadly force, a possible primary question might be: "What factors most influence police use of deadly force?"
This is directly from my husband's e-textbook.
Primary Questions
A primary question is the one driving thought behind a research project. It should represent the entire reason for the study. Primary questions are important because how well a researcher meets the goals of the primary question will often be the criteria by which the research will be evaluated. The primary question should be a carefully worded phrase that states exactly the focus of the study. For example, in research on police use of deadly force, a possible primary question might be: What factors most influence police use of deadly force?"1 This question is very broad and somewhat vague, but it can easily represent the goal of a research project.
Research Questions
Often, the primary question will be theoretical, vague, and quite possibly not directly addressable through research. Research questions break down the primary question into subproblems that are more manageable and make the primary question testable through research. If the primary question establishes the goal of the research, the research questions suggest ways of achieving that goal.
In our earlier example concerning police use of deadly force, some possible research questions might include the following:
• What is the relationship between an officer's shift and the likelihood that an officer will use deadly force?
• What is the relationship between the violent crime rate of an area and the likelihood that an officer will use deadly force?
• What is the relationship between an officer's level of education and the likeli- hood that an officer will use deadly force?
These research questions break down the primary question into smaller parts that can be examined more easily. The answers to these questions are derived from the research process and statistical analysis and allow the researcher to answer the primary question.

How might a good criminology research design be diagrammed?
Research design consists of logic and structure inherent in any particular approach to gather data. A simple study just might be a designed to test assertion that the consumption of refined white sugar promotes aggressive behavior or violent tendencies
Does a dropped charge show up on a background check?
It depends on the type of background check being conducted. Some background checks may still show a dropped charge, while others may only display convictions. It's important to be aware that dropped charges can sometimes still appear on your record, so it's best to check with the specific background check provider for more information.
Will misdameanor charges show up on a employers background check?
Misdemeanor charges can show up on an employer's background check, depending on the type of check they run and the laws in your location. It's important to be honest about your criminal history if asked by an employer, as providing false information could be grounds for termination.
How do you use an apostrophe after the word suspects?
An apostrophe means one of two things - either you're leaving out some letters (like can't means cannot or doesn't means does not) or you are indicating possession. If you put an apostrophe after the word suspects, you get suspects' which means "belonging to the suspects." An example sentence would be something along the lines of "The suspects' belongings are at the police desk."
Will a warning show up on a basic CRB check?
No, a basic level check will only show unspent convictions.
Descriptive research example?
There are many examples of descriptive research. One way to easily show an example of descriptive research is to show how the periodic table categorizes the elements.
Sample research questions?
A research question should be concise and show cause and effect. An example would be. Does weather have an effect on increased real estate sales?
What are some Cleopatra primary sources?
PBS is a good website for a primary source it will show many different facts that are good for research
What is example to show limitation of research?
writing by english languge is very defficult for me
What happens when your question is answered?
When your question is answered, it will show the answer instead of the "Can you answer this question?" statement and the buttons that say "Answer It!", "follow", "discuss", "research", "share", "Facebook", and "Twitter". You will be able to see the answer by going to the question.
Example of descriptive method of research?
In this research, you would want to show as much information as possible. Include all of the details along with pictures and charts if applicable.
Does the word research take a singular or plural verb?
Th noun 'research' is a singular noun, which takes a singular verb. The word research is also a verb.
How do you find the answer to your research question once you've done your research?
Remember, your research will show you an answer to your research question (which could be no answer, too). If it doesn't, either your research is flawed or your question needs revised, or, perhaps your research proved no is the answer to that research question.As an example of social research:Let's say you want to show that men prefer to use their own uni-sex bathroom. You block the men's room with "Out of Order" signs. Then, you observe and count how many men use the women's restroom versus how many men go searching for another men's restroom. You might find all the men still use the women's restroom. It still is "an answer" to your research question. But you might decide, too, that you need to study in more locations or also study women's reactions to only having access to the men's restroom. You might also find comparative studies from 1965 that do show uni-sex preference and decide to replicate the 1965 study to see if you obtain the same results now.
What is the importance of providing an example of acknowledgement in a research paper?
Including an example of acknowledgement in a research paper is important as it allows the author to express gratitude towards individuals or organizations who have contributed to the research in some way. This helps to show appreciation for their support and contributions, and also adds a personal touch to the paper.
Where does the research question go in a paper and how should it be effectively incorporated into the overall structure?
The research question typically goes at the end of the introduction section in a paper. It should be clearly stated and guide the rest of the paper's content. To effectively incorporate it into the overall structure, make sure the research question is relevant to the topic, specific, and focused. It should also be revisited in the conclusion to show how it was addressed in the study.
What are multiple choise questions?
Where you are given a question and a list of possible answers, where only one is correct. An example of this type of question is on the tv show 'who wants to be a millionaire'.
Which of these is an example of a secondary reinforcer?
Money is an example of a secondary reinforcer because its value is learned through association with primary reinforcers like food, water, or shelter.
