Sheila,

I suggest you begin your research by conducting an internet search using keywords like "death penalty statistics" and then the country that you are researching them in; for example, "death penalty statistics" and "United States". You could also search using the state keyword or crime keywords such as "death penalty statistics" and "murder". This should begin to get you some foundation information, to get started with. You can also contact your academic advisor or campus media center for other research resources your university can provide.

Once you get your content together, I can assist you in making an outline and creating a rough draft, then editing and proofreading further on down the road.

Good luck!

MAKING UP A QUESTION ON DEATH PENALTY

Hi,
I have been asked to create a research question based on death penalty and it cannot be too broad.
Any suggestions?

Thanks

Possible questions:

- Considering the amount of controversy over the subject, what are the potential set backs (societal and interpersonal) to allowing the Death Penalty.

- Considering the amount of controversy over the subject, what are the potential positive improvements (societal and interpersonal) that could come about from allowing the Death Penalty.

Are these the types of questions that you are looking for? Hope I helped.

Thanks!
I have chosen a similar question combining both of yours.

Why death penalty is needed while crime can resolve with others?
