CRITICAL THINKING QUESTIONS

A6

Chapter 9

Respond to the short essay questions using APA formatting. There are 3 questions from each chapter. The As may include one or two chapters. Organize responses with chapter numbers and question numbers. Include a title page and use 12 point Times New Roman font. Most, but not all questions require citations; so, cite when appropriate, especially when you support (corroborate) your opinions with text information. You should corroborate your opinions with the text to maximize your points for each assignment.

Your similarity percent based on Turnitin should be around 20 percent. When percent is too high, it usually means that you need to paraphrase more and cite when appropriate. Please include citation, page numbers, and references from the text, Criminology and Research Methods.

1. What type of research question in criminology can you think of, that would be better served by a cross-sectional design than a longitudinal research design? In your mind, what situations are better served by a cross-sectional research?
2. Compare and contrast the repeated cross-sectional and longitudinal research design? What are the pros and cons of each as opposed to one another?
3. When are longitudinal research designs appropriate? Is this a cut and dried question or one that has some room for interpretation? What do you think?
