Module Three Question 1 In the textbox provided, brainstorm a list of keywords related to your topic. 1. Race 2. Incarceration 3. Poverty 4. Prison 5. Crimes Module Three Question 2 Now type those keywords into an Internet search engine, such as Google. Spend some time looking through the results. In the textbox below, jot down the titles and hyperlinks of a few of the most interesting articles and websites that come up in your search. Write down at least one article and the corresponding hyperlink for each keyword or group of keywords. 1. (Mass) Incarceration (https://www.aclu.org/issues/smart-justice/mass-incarceration) 2. Race (https://www.britannica.com/topic/race-human) 3. Poverty (https://www.americanactionforum.org/research/incarceration-and-poverty- in-the-united-states/) 4. Prison (https://www.bop.gov/) 5. Crimes (https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2014/04/28/the-unequal-burden-of- crime-and-incarceration-on-americas-poor/) Module Three Question 3 What are you finding? What new information have you learned about this issue? What new questions or thoughts do you have now that you have done some preliminary research? Does social background have an impact on incarceration rates? Does racial inequality play a major role in incarceration? How does poverty play a role in incarceration? Module Three Question 4

Can you narrow your focus at all? If so, what do you wish to focus on? If you have a few options, what are they? (You don't necessarily need to narrow your focus. Mark found this helpful to do because his topic is very broad.) I wanted to focus on poverty and how that plays a direct role in incarceration rates. Module Three Question 5 Based on the broad search, refine the list of keywords that you created on the previous page. List here any keywords or keyword combinations that returned results that are relevant to your social science issue. Then, note which keywords or combinations you will no longer use, as they returned off-topic or overly broad results. Incarceration rates by race Incarceration rates and poverty I didn't have any keywords that I won't use. All these keyboards seem to be relevant to the issue and came back with great results. Module Three Question 6 What professional organizations (other than social science organizations) might have relevant information about your issue? For example, someone researching war might utilize information provided by the United States Department of Defense. Find 1-2 organizations, and note them here. I would say one organization would be the department of justice. Another would be the federal bureau of prisons. Module Three Question 7 Now select one of the digital libraries or organizations mentioned in this learning block (Shapiro Library, Google Scholar, etc.), and plug your keywords into that site. What credible sources come up in your search? Repeat this step with at least one more digital library/organization. In the textbox, type the titles of 6-8 of the most relevant results along with the corresponding hyperlinks so you can locate these resources later. Note which digital library/organization you used to find each study.
