Research Topics with Explanation

The first research topic is “should minors who commit violent crimes be tried as adults?” I chose this topic because nowadays the rate of crimes in the society has been sky rocketing and statistics indicate that the majority who does the heinous acts are the minors (Pakes, 2010). I believe that digging into the background of these kind of children will give a rationale of what triggers them to do such accts. The teens should not be tried as adults because they are minors who commits adult crimes. They commit such acts due to factors like poor parenthood, due to mental disabilities, drug abuse and learning difficulties among other factors. They should not be condemned as adults rather be given short sentences, new identities and a second chance to live happily with families (Goldson, 2012).

The second research topic is “Should child welfare regulations be changed?” I chose this research topic because the welfare of children are very critical state responsibilities which includes fundamental issues of a child like guarding children from abuse and neglect, and making sure that children have stable, safe, and enduring living conditions (Delap, 2015). The child welfare regulations should be modified because child abuse and mistreatment are complex difficulties imbedded in unhealthy relationships and backgrounds. Stopping child abuse and desertion involves an inclusive approach that impacts all levels of the social environment (including the social culture), public involvement, affairs among families and neighbors, and personal conducts (Williams, 2015). Effective prevention plans emphasis on modifying strategies, practices, and social customs to make a safe, conducive, stable, fostering relationships and environments.

Finally I have also chosen a topic that ‘should DUI (driving under the influence) laws be changed’? The key reason behind choosing this research topic is that I have been a casualty of a situation before in which the driver broke the driving laws and I faced a lot of woes. Individually, I believe that driving under the influence laws have to be stern for persons as they carry fatal consequences (Rowling, 2008). Another reason is that this topic is getting bigger publicity in the society and even though the consequences for driving under the influence are fairly harsh, however on the other hand they are not sufficiently efficient. There should be sticker laws or driving under influence in order to lower occurrence of fatal accidents and repeated offending (Brisban, 2014). For instance, measures that can be strengthened is enlarge penalties for such offences, impose alcohol interlocks and upsurge severity of prison verdicts.
