Aligning purpose with research questions

The purpose for conducting this study is to determine how the daily duties of suburban resource officers can provide insight into the school violence problem that faces many schools today. I believe that the research questions that I have proposed, with a little tweaking, will help to answer the questions that have been put forth in this study.

I believe that my questions are formulated with a single purpose in mind. The purpose being how resource officers job duties can help to reduce the amount of crime and violence in schools.

Case studies are also good at emphasizing detailed related analysis of a limited number of events or conditions and their relationships (The Case Study of as a Research Method, 2006).

I intend to gather information from eleven resource officers that are assigned to three selected suburban middle schools. This information will serve as the data that I will use to conduct my case study......
