The research paper will be based on a fictional scenario. My role is that of the police-munity relations officer. It is my job to provide the missioner with an informational report about the increase of hate crimes nationally, statewide and locally. The questions I need to answer are the prevalence of the problem nationwide and statewide, current trends in prevalence (is the problem growing or maintaining at the current level of incidence?), and which individuals or groups are involved and/or concerned. The information should be accurate, prehensive, and because the issue is currently a concern and may still be evolving, the sources need to be timely and up-to-date. The report should only include factual information not opinions or remendations. This kind of research is often called a “white paper” or in public relations, a “backgrounder.”
The research should locate and document at least 8 internet sources. The research should also include an executive summary, which is called an “abstract in academic writing. For the research the regions that should be researched are the United States, Pennsylvania, and Lying county in Pennsylvania. If you have questions I can be emailed at
