¶ … largest challenges of research and the gathering techniques associated with strong academic practices lies in the human element of any experiment. Subjective interpretation of qualitative data is necessary to develop many, if not all, hypotheses into actual fact and practical application. The purpose of this writing is to explain the necessary methods to successfully incorporate qualitative data into a specific research plan. I will discuss how the research topic of human trafficking can use these methods to help in the planning process and ultimately present a worthwhile presentation of scientific exploration.
The type of data used in a topic such as human trafficking would be a combination of information from several different types of sources. Legal and criminal statistics would be obviously incorporated into such a study, but identifying the bias in these numbers must include additional forms of data. Most important in this gathering phase information is to...
This preventative step helps eliminate the subjective interpretation of the topic and helps manage the human element to a reasonable manner.
Incorporating other forms of data such as observation of trafficking victims is another considerable approach to gaining an understanding to this topic. Scaling and coding of questionnaires and survey's should follow mathematical models that have proven their worth. Utilizing a grounded theory where researchers model qualitative data by unveiling hidden meanings in the data would most likely be a wise philosophy to adopt in such a study. This approach must ultimately mix compelling evidence with emerging ideas and practices that have not yet been fully synthesized with institutional and conventional practices due to the slow moving processes often associated with academic bureaucracy.

Exploring Perceptions of Loss Experienced by Children of Incarcerated Parents
The qualitative inquiry that I seek to carryout is concerned with understanding the experiences of ambiguity, loss, and separation experienced by adolescent children of incarcerated parents. This study will be a phenomenological study, seeking to understand the lived experiences of the youth (Patton, 2002). The phenomenon under question is the feeling of loss. Because this population is considered vulnerable and a protected class, all the rules pertaining to informed consent will be of the utmost importance, as well as ensuring that this sample understands the questions. Darbyshire, MacDougall, and Schiller (2005) indicated that children's voices should be heard through research. Recognizing that the age range for this group is between 15 and 18, I would still be very careful when conducting research, by ensuring that informed consent was provided by the caregivers of the children.
The questions would be pilot testing and refined (Turner, 2010). These questions would be placed in an interview guide, however, I would utilized the open conversational interview if needed to draw out additional information (Turner, 2010). I also want to make it clear, that I would use multiple methods
Among the negative effects of living in a violent relationship include increased depression, anxiety and posttraumatic stress (Bogat, et. al, 2004). There is some evidence that suggests that social support may influence a woman's reactions to domestic violence, and may in fact influence whether or not a woman decides to stay or leave a relationship (Bogat, et. al, 2004). When support exists it is related to a positive outcome more

gathering of information on crime prevention initiatives is critical in the quest for a better equipped and evidence-based crime prevention programs (UNODC,2010).In this paper, we present the outcome of an interview which was conducted with Mr. Richard Aborn, the president of the Citizens Crime Commission of New York City, an independent non-profit organization which is nonpartisan and is focused on criminal justice as well as public safety policy reform.
Department of Homeland Security is clearly start-up: How quickly can DHS be up and running? The department formally began operating on January 24, 2003, and by March 1 had absorbed representatives from most of its component parts. The formal process of transferring agencies is expected to be completed by September 30, 2003, but analysts suggest full integration of agencies will take at least several years. Notwithstanding, as a practical matter,
International Ship and Port Security (ISPS) Code on Maritime Security The study will be based on the question that "What is the impact of the International Ship and Port Security (ISPS) Code on Maritime Security." Answers will be sought to have this question addressed adequately. The study feels that the ISPS Code has some impacts upon the Maritime Security in the world. Thus, the study seeks to uncover the various impacts
Managment Challenges in Emergency Services Qualitative Research Questions and Phenomena BUDGETING FOR EMERGENCY ISSUES Many emergency management budgets are small having the tendency to lean towards statistical significance with variations from one issue to another. For instance, small standard deviation of figures varies based on strength of the issue. These figures suggest many of the emergency management functions are performed within a given public safety unit. In this proposal, the safest option is
