**Topic- Affects of sanctuary cities on local economy and justice system
The version of your research prospectus that you will submit for this assignment is your first, full draft of the document and will culminate in a final polished research prospectus submission for Unit 9. You will receive feedback on this draft from your instructor and incorporate that feedback in a second, final version of the research prospectus to be submitted for the Unit 9 Individual Project (IP). Your research prospectus will be a narrative that details the major components of your proposed research, developed at a relatively early stage of your program. The research prospectus guides your preparation of the research proposal and serves as a road map for continued refinement of your thinking as you progress in your doctoral journey.
As you complete the full draft, be sure to revisit the research method rationale and provide a full justification for your research method choice and research design or approach that is aligned with your study problem. Consider revisiting your qualitative and quantitative course work to be sure to cite the relevant and specific scholarly research guides aligned with your method and design choices.
The Final Research Prospectus should be 8–10 pages, not including title and reference pages, and formatted in APA. The title page should include a working title for your study. When writing your title, it should reflect research tradition or approach and research design, and provide some sense of the scope of the study. Refer to the research prospectus template for guidance on additional elements.
In the body of the prospectus, include headings for each section. You will use the Research Prospectus Template to complete the document.
