Security and Criminal Justice
For this analysis, my chosen topic is security and criminal justice. Security refers to the state under which a thing or a person is free from threat or danger (Tankebe & Liebling, 2013). Criminal justice, on the other hand, refers to the administration of justice for people who have committed crimes (Siegel & Worrall, 2013).
This topic interests me for two main reasons. First, the topic interests me because it is linked to development outcomes. A growing body of evidence produced from credible studies has demonstrated that shortfalls in security and justice in the society contribute towards underdevelopment and poverty (Tankebe & Liebling, 2013). Conversely, security and justice contribute towards positive development outcomes such as the virtuous cycle of security and development in which the presence of security brings about development and development promotes security (Tankebe & Liebling, 2013).
The topic also interests me because there is a growing need for research to support security and criminal justice strategies. There is the need for research to help lawmakers come up with more effective policies to support law enforcement practices (Siegel & Worrall, 2013). I, therefore, want to analyze the topic to come up with findings that can help policymakers develop effective policies to support the administration of justice and crime prevention.
From my analysis of the topic, I hope to uncover a disparity between the current criminal justice strategies and the anticipated outcomes.

Owing to the inherent inadequacy of research on security and criminal justice, I predict that most criminal justice activities do not deliver their anticipated outcomes. I hope to discover how such programs have led to the wastage of money, time and other resources.
