Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions with your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

In preparation for your trip to the Academy for Staff Development for probation officer training, the training staff has set up an Internet Discussion Board for attendees to discuss probation and parole. You are tasked with discussing the history and origins of probation and parole. You are asked to respond to the following questions:

  • When, where, and how did probation first appear?
  • How is probation different from parole?
  • In examining the history of both probation and parole, discuss whether probation or parole has moved further away from their original forms.

Support your conclusions with at least 2 references using APA style.

Assignment: Inductive and Deductive Theory

Although the terms inductive and deductive theory suggest that these are, in fact, theories, they are really approaches to thinking and reasoning. In the inductive approach, researchers gather evidence and draw conclusions from it. They may begin with observations through which they can identify patterns. These patterns, in turn, help them formulate initial claims or hypotheses that can be tested. In the deductive approach, researchers may begin with a theory-supported hypothesis, and then gather evidence to support the claim (although sometimes the data may refute it!).

In practice, inductive and deductive theory are not as compartmentalized as the paradigms you explored in this week’s Discussion. A researcher may consider him or herself to be squarely in the conflict paradigm “camp,” and use that as the major framework with which he or she attempts to understand the world. Generally, researchers are neither inductive nor deductive practitioners exclusively, but instead may find that they utilize both within a cycle, with evidence informing hypotheses and hypotheses influencing the types of evidence collected.

For this Assignment, you perform a close reading of two brief case studies and determine the inductive and deductive characteristics of each.

To Prepare

Read the case studies: “An Example of Inductive Theory: Why Do People Smoke Marijuana?” and “An Example of Deductive Theory: Distributive Justice” from Chapter 2 of the Babbie course text in this week’s Learning Resources.

The Assignment (3–4 pages):

  • Summarize the two case studies and their findings.
  • Define inductive and deductive theory.
  • Explain the specific aspects of these studies that make them either inductive or deductive

You may upload your fully completed Research Assignment to the Course Home Research Assignment assignment as a single file at any time, but in order for you to receive any credit whatsoever it must be posted not later than midnight (CST) on Sunday, of Unit 6. 

I want to make sure we are absolutely clear on this, so there are no misunderstandings down the line. Last minute emergencies, technological problems (computer crashes), etc. will not be grounds for me to give you any more time than the time you have now to do get the assignment uploaded. Be sure to back up and save a copy of your Assignment in case you or we experience technical problems.

Assignments must be uploaded as a single file attachment (no multiple files will be accepted) as either a Word document (.doc, .docx, or .rtf file formats only – do not send in any other Word format), or if you are using another word-processing program I will be able to accept any filesaved in Rich Text Format (.rtf) format. No other file formats will be accepted for credit.

The file name for your assignment must be name as follows: 

Your First name Your Last Name MG420 Research Assignment.[file extension]

Example: John Smith MG420 Research Assignment.doc

This is a 400-level (senior level) class ~~ I expect at least 400-level (senior level) work. You will be graded on what you submit (see grading rubric).

Questions MUST be numbered and restated in their entirety at the top of each page and each question should have its own page(s) devoted to it ~~do not run question 1 into question 2 on the same page. Bottom line — go out of your way to make your assignment easy to read and to grade!You can unnecessarily lose valuable points on this assignment by not following these formatting requirements – please do not let that happen to you.See the Sample Research Format document located in Files.

The assignment must be completed following the Modern Language Association (MLA) Documentation Style (seehttp://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.). Note that you must use parenthetical citations and you must include full URLs in your citations. You must reference your work for all questions~~ I’m not interested in hearsay. When citing the course text, a simple reference to “course text” or “Labor Relations” and the applicable page numbers will suffice.

Be sure to include COMPLETE URL for any articles you are using in support of each paper. You should test and retest the URL to be sure that I can see what you want me to see. Sending a complete and active URL is your responsibility. If I cannot see your article, you will not receive credit for that article. Note: Sometimes when using electronic or web-based library databases the web site and/or URL you locate requires one to sign up and log in to see the article. I do not wish to have to do this so, it may become necessary to copy and paste the contents of the article onto a separate page in your word processing program (such as Microsoft Word). Check and re-check the URL you provide to make sure I can see what you want me to see.

When writing your papers, be sure to include applicable excerpts from the article (in quotes and referenced) that you use in support of your statements.
