Imagine that you are conducting a study of drug courts today. In the study, you want to explore, identify, and compare the perspectives of former offenders who have participated in drug court programs and those of former offenders who have faced similar charges but did not go through a drug court program.
1. Design a study that collects data using focus groups and interviews.
2. Produce a protocol for each component of the study.
3. Identify the challenges that you expect to face, and outline your plan for resolving these.
