RJA#7c) Field Research Plan

For my field research plan I have decided to do a random survey to people of all ages and backrounds. As well as interview psychology teachers and people who have been to jail for doing a criminal act. I will be beginning this at the end of this week. To do this I will write a letter to a person who has been in jail asking quetions such as:

1. Did you have a bad childhood?
2. Were your parents abusive?
3. Explain what kind of enviornment you lived in.
4. Do you believe your childhood or the enviornment you lived in had anything to do with you commiting your criminal act?
5. Do you think you are a different person from when you were younger to now?


Some quetions I may ask a psychology teacher are:

1. Why do you believe people do crimes?
2. Understanding the psychology part where do you think criminal behavior falls in Nature or Nurture most?
3. Do you think that if you live in a good enviornment that you can still grow up to be a criminal. Explain yes or no.
4. Do you think people can change from being a bad criminal into a good person?
5. Based on certain experiences would you say everybody has a criminal part in them? why or why not?


Some survey queitions I would have are:

1.Define in your own words what is a bad enviornment and what is a good enviornment to grow up in?
2. Do you believe our society plays a role in teaching young kids criminal behavior.
3. Why do you think people commit crimes?
4. Where do you think criminal behaviors are learned from?
5. Do you think peolpe are taught criminal behavior or carry it genetically?
