Research question: Is There an association between good prison management and insider
prison violence?
Research strategy
For an effective research strategy, researcher should make sure that they identify the topic
in appropriate manner such that they know how to research for the particular topic so that they
may easily attain the research question. In the same way, for the current study the research
question is “Is There an association between good prison management and insider prison
violence?” As per the view of Cottrell (2019) there are different steps which are involved in the
development of the strategy such that
 From the research question, define all the key terms that helps to link between the
research and research questions. In which the researcher may easily determine the
articles relate to this. For instance, as per the topic, research should be based upon two
specific terms i.e. prison management, prison violence. Therefore, by specifying the term
will help to proceed ahead.
 Next step is build the search term database, in which the researcher find the background
information related to this by using secondary research. As a result, by developing a
research database, the researcher may easily generate the results by meeting the research
questions.
 Next step is to create the additional criteria for incorporation and exclusion. For the
current study, there are four basic criteria which needs to be met by the researcher i.e.
empirical, social science, reputable source and important or influential etc.
 Next step is to determine the collection of a knowledge which will use for the literature In
which the researcher find the way or a strategy to reach the defined research questions.
Moreover, for better research, researcher may also divide the sentence into smaller parts
so that it will be more easy for them to search ( Mooney and Daffern, 2015 ).
 Lastly, design a research approach through which further helps to determine the variables
in the analysis. For instance as per the research question, we are actually considering the
'good prison' from the questions and then decide the complexity of the problem.
