Survey Research

Survey research is performed by composing questions that will target a particular group of people for the purpose of studying their attitudes, beliefs, values, etc. in a scientific way.

In reference to society, a survey research could examine the impact of drug abuse by parents on children. This would show how difficult it is for children to have a good diet, clean clothes, and even make it to school. It would also show how some will become homeless or in the custody of the state.

Survey research applied to criminal justice would be a survey that seeks to understand public’s attitude on cyber stalking. This survey might ask participants if they have ever been a victim of cyber stalking and how often it occurred. The results might help the police in determining whether cyber stalking is under or over-reported.

An application to the individual would be when someone polls the parents at a local high school to see if parents are interested in the school adding more athletic activities like a Swimming team or a Tennis team – for those students who are not interested in the more traditional sports like football, basketball, or wrestling.
