In this discussion topic, you must begin crafting a potential research question for your Research Paper due in Week 8. You must provide an initial, draft research questions by 11:59 PM CST on Sunday of Week 1. To complete this assignment, you must have a proposed research question approved by the instructor before 11:59 pm CT Sunday of Week 2.

This will give you time to formulate your research paper topic.

Remember: this assignment asks for a research question. A yes/no question is not suitable for your research proposal. For example, "Should juveniles be tried as adults based on the crime committed?" is a yes/no question. Avoid has/is or should/could questions. A better research question would be “What are viable alternatives to sentencing for youth who commit serious crimes?”

one question and 1 paragraph briefly talking about it.
