This section is extremely malleable in that groups can include as much, or as little detail as
needed to clarify what remains to the reader (e.g. stakeholder). However, this section needs to
elucidate your group’s policy recommendations for responding to the issue or phenomenon you
have researched, and specifically, how. This will be rooted in the data you analyze and present.
In order to complete this section, you will also need to present your results. This means,
analyzing your data according to your proposed Methodologies in Week 4. For many of you, this
is a simple quest (e.g. descriptive statistics, frequency distributions, etc.). Tables, graphs, charts,
etc. will all be presented in this section alongside what has been done to address these
groups/movements and what should be done.
If you need more help in contextualizing all of this jargon, please watch the “Data and Analysis”
mini-lecture in the “Group Project” folder.
Basically, this is a data-driven analysis. Some of you will dedicate your analysis the group or
movement (e.g. growth/decline/etc.) and others will focus on the impact of prior policy decisions
and whether those policies were effective at curbing the terrorism you are examining (and why or
why not). Regardless, you must propose solutions to the group, phenomenon, or issue you
examined. These solutions must be clear, specific, and measurable. If the movement/group
examined is no longer prevalent (i.e. has fragmented, dissolved, etc.), what should have been
done to address this movement/group more effectively at the time?
The more creative and nuanced this section is, the easier it will be for groups to distinguish
themselves from others. To be successful here, however, will require groups to adequately
research what has been done before to address the phenomenon in question (see Literature
Review submission). If something has been tried and has been a failure, then do not recommend
it as a viable policy recommendation. If something has failed, but research has shown how this
failure can be ameliorated in future policy, then be specific in recommending what can be done
in similar veins. This also means that groups will need to rely on evidence-based practices in
crafting specific policy or program responses to the phenomenon. Hence why you need to rely on
your data to inform your decisions here.
Complex problems often require multidimensional solutions. Please think long and hard about
what you think would actually work and why in terms of addressing the movement, group, or
phenomenon you are studying. The submission in question, at a
minimum, will include the following information:
● What does your data show as to the nature of the problem(s)/group(s) examined? o Over time? o Now? o After certain policies were implemented?
● What needs to be done in terms of policy, program, or practice? o If the movement/group examined is no longer prevalent (i.e. has fragmented,
dissolved, etc.), what should have been done to address this movement/group
more effectively?
â–ª Be specific here. This submission will also include any and all graphs, charts, plots, tables, and figures you create.
It is expected that various forms of visuals be used to display your analyses.
