| Abstract: | This model is intended to generate enthusiasm for research that goes beyond the experience of the typical college “term-paper.” Framed in the context of introductory lectures on the basics of social science research within the global perspective of challenges futurists predict for the early years of the millennium, undergraduates are instructed to think in terms of problems related to the future world of criminal justice and sociology and asked later to submit and orally defend formal research proposals. Completed proposals may serve as the impetus for further research, or in exceptional cases may be further developed for publication or presentation. |
