You will have some interesting assignments this week in Unit 4. Specifically, in the Unit 4 IP assignment you will be learning about the “so what” of research studies. Indeed, you will learn about the stakeholders and interest groups involved in research as well as the policy implications of research studies. This will allow students to have a better understanding of the relationship between theory and practice in the fields of criminology and criminal justice. Here is a breakdown of the unit 4 IP assignment that centers this relationship:
Total Points- 120
