exaggerations and generalizations. Coomber questioned this logic, however, prompting his study into the reality of drug market violence. He began with a broad research question regarding violence in drug markets, but throughout his introduction he narrowed it to a more focused scope of research.

What are the purposes of social work research? What assumptions about the nature of social science research underlie this characterization of social work research? I think social work research is to explain social phenomenon/human behavior, predict social pattern/behavior pattern, and provide guidance for social work practice through empirical studies.

Development of a Research Question Having picked my topic of interest “The Harley Davidson Biker” I needed to explore options for the question. I started out with “What is the culture of the Harley Davidson biker?”. That was too small; there was very little information. I expanded the question to “What is the biker culture?” and that returned more results. I then narrowed it down to “How has the biker culture changed over the years?”. This seems to be a more valid question that readers would…

Furthermore, project assessment criteria usually require to demonstrate awareness of the current state of knowledge in the subject, its limitations and how new research fits in this wider context (Gill and Johnson, 2010). However, using…

In light of the whole body of research I would not recommend Speech Easy to a client on my caseload who stutters.

In most cases, the scientific progress is slow moving and you rarely see great big leaps (Bothe, Finn, & Bramlett, 2007). The Speech Easy is not connected to a scientific or empirical tradition. However, it has been portrayed on the media as the "cure" for stuttering.…
