•    Cover page: Follow APA formatting for the cover page.
•    Abstract: A brief summary of your topic and hypothesis as well as the major components of the research proposal (sample, research design, and data collection techniques)
•    Introduction: Including a brief history of the problem, you present your topic, problem statement, and some general information about your topic.
•    Review of Literature: Summarize at least five relevant/related research projects. This part of the proposal can be taken from a modified version of your Review of Literature from the Unit 3 Assignment, but be sure to address your instructor’s comments.
•    Variables and Hypothesis: Give a brief description of your independent variable and dependent variable. Provide the specific hypothesis statement which includes the independent and dependent variable.

1. Hypothesis- Neighborhoods with drug patrol units are less likely to have drug sales than neighborhoods without drug patrol units.

2. Variables
IV-Drug Patrol units
DV-Drug dealers

3. Population-the city of Killeen, TX
Sample will be from a master list of all the neighborhoods located within Killeen, TX.
This will be a classic design because I can randomly assign patrol officers to some neighborhoods and not others
4. Sampling strategy: The sampling strategy appropriate for my population is probability sampling.
5. Specific sampling: The specific sampling technique I will use is simple Random Sampling because I can randomly select neighborhoods out of the all the neighborhoods in Killeen, TX and assign random numbers to the selected neighborhoods.
•    Research Design: A description of your research design and a justification of why this particular design was chosen; discuss how your variables will be studied or controlled.
•    Sampling: Provide a description of your sampling plan; identify the population, sample, and sampling technique chosen.
•    Data Collection: Describe your one or more data collection techniques (e.g., survey, focus groups, interviews, field research, existing data, etc.).
•    Considerations: Discuss validity, reliability, and at least 1 ethical issue as they apply to your research proposal.
•    References: You must include correctly-formatted APA in-text citations in the body of your paper, and a matching reference list in appropriate APA form.
•    Format your work consistent with APA guidelines.
