Ethical Application for a Research Study Essay

Paper details: Summary 1: Victims of Stalking Based on your chosen summary you must then complete an application for ethical approval. Your application will need to detail various elements to be involved in the research process. You must provide both in-text citation(s) and a reference list of sources used in your work and this must be done following the recommended APA 7th Edition. The following information is contained within the template linked above. 1. Study title (up to 50 words) 2. Place of Research (around 100-200 words) 2.1 Research Location: Provide a description of where the work will take place. E.g. online; in a public space 3. Summary of Study (around 400 words) 3.1 Summary of study: Using references, describe the background to and justification for this research. It is important to show familiarity with the most important research and literature on the chosen topic. It is important to show the ethical reviewer/s that the proposed study has a solid foundation in existing knowledge or theory. It also shows that the proposed research is not simply repeating what existing studies have already done. It should try and go beyond the descriptive by offering a critical appraisal of the reviewed sources.

Ideally, this section will seek to: compare and contrast: what are the main theories, methods, debates and controversies around on the subject matter? be critical: what are the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches? show how the proposed research fits in: how will it build on, challenge, or synthesize the work of others? Furthermore, this section should ideally set the stage for the proposed study with a clear focus, purpose and direction. NB: You do not outline the specific procedure and methods for the study in this section as this will be asked for in section 4. 3.2 Study aims: Briefly describe the study aims. Try to keep the aims clear and succinct, no more than a sentence each – and try not to have too many main aims. You can use bullet points. 3.3 Study objectives: Briefly describe the study objectives.

So, the objectives help to fulfil the main aim(s) of the research. Again, be clear and succinct, with each objective; preferably no more than a sentence. You can use bullet points. 4. Description of method (around 500 words) In this section describe the main method(s) for the study. It should detail the overall approach and practical steps of the proposed study to address the research question, and thus the aim(s), and objectives(s). This section would be expected to cover the following Research type: Is this a qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods research study? Will original primary data be collected and/or does it involve working with secondary data sources? Sources:

Exactly what or who will be studied (e.g. students in Portsmouth; Scottish newspaper archives 1976-80)? How will subjects or sources be selected (e.g. random sampling, case studies)? When and where will data be collected? Research methods: What tools and procedures will be used? (e.g. questionnaires, interviews, observations, experiments) to collect and analyse data? Why are these the most appropriate methods to collect and answer the research questions? Why is/are the analysis technique(s) or method(s) deemed most appropriate for the chosen study? Practicalities: How much time will you need to collect the data? How will you gain access to participants or sources? Caution:

Do not simply write a list of methods. Aim to demonstrate why this is the most appropriate, valid and reliable approach to answering the research question/s. 5. Ethical Issues and Risks (around 500 words) 5.1 Anticipated Ethical Issues: List associated/anticipated ethical issues and describe how they will be addressed. DO NOT write “none” in this section. All projects will have ethical issues. Think about autonomy; informed consent; right to withdraw; anonymity and confidentiality; role conflict and so on 5.2 Other risks and Concerns: Are there any other risks not covered in 5.1 above? You may wish to consider the following risks: Risk to participants Risk to researchers Reputational risks Security risks 6. Recruitment of participants (around 200 words) 6.1 Research participants / sample: Describe your ‘research population’ clearly – the population is the group comprising the source of all potential participants (for example, all UK adults, police officers, victims of fraud, security managers). Then indicate how you would select a ‘sample’ for the research. 6.2 Recruitment strategy and informed consent: Explain the steps that need to be taken to recruit your participants. How the study information will be sent to potential participants (letter, email, in person) – for example, the provision of a Participant Information Sheet and Consent Form. Note: Anonymous online surveys do not need separate information sheets and consent forms – but you need to explain why. 6.3 Personal / organisational data: How will confidentiality/anonymity will be ensured? All personal data should be treated in confidence. Explain how confidentiality and anonymity will ensured. Explain how participants can withdraw from the research (if applicable) 7. Research Management Data (around 200 words) How data will be stored securely, and what will happen when the study is completed. 8.

Appendices While you are NOT required to produce any documentation for this assessment (such as invitation letters, consent forms, draft surveys, interviews schedules), please indicate which items from the list below would need to be attached if this were a real application to an Ethics Committee. Invitation Letter Participant Information Sheet(s) Consent Form Survey Instrument/Questionnaire Interview Questions / Topic List / Schedule Focus Group Questions / Topic List / Schedule Observational Data Collection Form Risk Assessment Form(s) Other – please describe: Summary 1: Victims of Stalking Under the Protection from Harassment Act 1997, it is an offence for a person to pursue a course of conduct that amounts to harassment of another individual, and that they know (or ought to know) amounts to harassment (S.1). The Act defines harassment and states: “References to harassing a person include alarming the person or causing the person distress” (S.7(2)).

A ‘course of conduct’ in the case of harassment of a single person must involve conduct on at least two occasions. There is a consensus, however, within the existing literature that the criminal justice response to victims of harassment and stalking requires improvement. Studies in the United States, United Kingdom, Australasia, and Europe suggest that victims are likely to encounter significant barriers when reporting their concerns to the police. More recently, the restrictions on daily life imposed in response to COVID‐19 (Coronavirus) has led to increased concerns about the impacts and consequences for victims of stalking. The proposed study will investigate the implications of the COVID-19 crisis for victims of stalking, specifically the impact on victims and the response of criminal justice agencies, within one city area of the UK. The question guiding this research will be: “How do victims who reported harassment and stalking to the police during the social restrictions imposed during the Covid-19 lockdowns describe their experiences?”

To give a voice to victims’ experiences, the research should offer two options for participation. The first would comprise a face-to-face, semi-structured interview; the second would involve a telephone interview based on the same semi-structured interview guide (for those who would prefer not to have face-to-face contact). It is proposed that approximately 30 semi-structured interviews would be manageable within the twelve-month timeframe and resources available for the study. The main recruitment method proposed is via support services for people who had reported harassment and stalking to the police. To try and recruit a diverse range of participants, these organisations should include Victim Support; domestic violence services; sexual violence services; LGBTQ organisations; specialist services supporting minority ethnic communities; stalking charities; and women’s centres. Using the basic information above, and your own search of the literature on this topic your reading/understanding of social research methods, construct the application for ethical clearance for Artefact 2 outlinilryng how a study would be conducted.
