submit a research paper topic in the form of a paragraph on a Microsoft Word Document exploring a specific problem in Crisis Intervention. If you are new to argumentative writing, simply rely on the Socratic Method. Your paper consists of all of the questions a person would ask if you mentioned the hypothesis to them. What is it I am researching? What is the current problem? What is the solution? What do my critics say about the problem and my solution? What does the literature say about the problem and my solution? What gaps in the literature will my solution address? If successful, what are the implications of my research? Add a conclusion as well. Suggested topics include but are not limited to: Crisis response to active shooter situations, suicide response, police training for hostage taking crisis, police officer stress, and use of force. A thesis statement would include a statement of the problem along with statistics or some other method for expressing the depth of the issue. For example, if you were discussing suicide among law enforcement, you would want to include suicide statistics to illustrate how significant this problem is and why it needs to be addressed.

The research paper shall be a minimum of 8 to 10 pages and must follow current APA guidelines. The page count does not include the title page, abstract, or reference section. It must include 10–15 sources with at least 1 source being the Holy Bible and no more than two (2) books. The student should have a specific section in the paper dedicated to a synthesis of Christian Worldview and their topic. See the assignment instructions and grading rubric for additional instructions and guidance.

You will develop a well-reasoned discussion of the issues associated with that topic and your suggestions and recommendations for appropriate interventions, policy changes, etc. as well as biblical support for your suggestions and recommendations. Include an introduction that describes the purpose of the paper, the context of the discussion, and the central issues; also, address the central issues and use headings to clearly delineate your points. Your paper needs to include the integration of sources to support your points and demonstrate your thinking through the complexities of the issues in discussion of the central issues and your recommendations. Your paper should have a substantive conclusion that summarizes your key points.
