Validity Threats and Experimental Design
Crime hot-spots are places where crime is prevailing. Police departments with competent resources can identify these spots and create useful strategies to minimize crime in those affected areas.
In your paper, address the following:
In studying the effects of police interference on crime hot-spots, what types of validity threats researchers would investigate?
By taking into consideration the components of a classical experimental design, how would you construct a study to investigate this?
Your paper must be concise, well written, should be 2-3 pages in length (not counting cover and references) and conform to APA guidelines. To support your statements, cite a minimum of 2 scholarly journal sources that are not provided or linked in this course. The University library database is very useful to find this type of scholarly sources.
