Recent documented instances of extreme police brutality have drawn attention to the topic of police enforcement. Some would argue that criminals deserve these severe punishments; however, most would take a more sympathetic view on society’s offenders. Compare and contrast police treatment of different races nationally.
compose a first draft of your thesis with five peer-reviewed articles no older than 5 to 10 years old highlighting the same research gap. I suggest using Proquest for Criminal Justice peer reviewed articles.
Summarize each article and discuss the research gap, the research question, the purpose of the research for each article.
Submit the 5 articles also with the gap highlighted. Also, submit the draft thesis labeled as such. For each revision, you must submit the revision and the articles again. If there is a new article submitted, label “new article”.
It must follow the EOM manual format perfectly. The thesis format is your proposal format.
ORGANIZE YOUR PROPOSAL with the following sections
CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Statement of the Problem
Purpose of the Study
Research Questions and Hypotheses
Significance of the Study
Definition of Terms
Assumptions and Limitations

compose the first draft of your thesis proposal. Submit including a title page and five references related to your proposed topic. Ensure that the references are from peer-reviewed journals, government sources, other appropriate academically acceptable sources, or some combination thereof.
Ensure the proposal includes the following from the EOP Manual:
• Explain the question or problem to be investigated and convince the thesis professor that the question or problem merits investigation.
• It should show that the student has read the relevant and recent literature on the subject, and it should contain a list of academically appropriate resources consulted during the preliminary stages of research.
• In general, the thesis proposal should include background information related to the research topic, purpose of research, methodology and analytical procedures to be used.
