Cradle to Prison Pipeline for Black Males and Academic under Performance of Black Males.

Cradle to Prison Pipeline for Black Males and Academic under Performance of Black Males.

Introduction

Why did I choose this topic? This research topic aims at exploring the reasons as to why blackest males are fond of criminal offences and perform poorly in academics. I am an academician; hence, my research aims at studying the criminal patterns of the black males.

What do I already know about this topic? There are three researches that have been done in this topic. Most of the reasons that these research papers show a missing gap in this area of interest; therefore, I intend to modify my research to dwell mainly on the relationship of academic performance and crimes that the black men commit.

What do I want to learn as a result of my research? My research intends to clarify and ascertain for the relationship between under performance in academics and the nature of crimes committed by black males. I want to find out if these crimes that they commit can contribute to their academic under performance.

What is my intended purpose in writing this paper? I intend to fill in on the missing gap of the previous researches. My research aims at proofing the relationship of the two factors; thus; data is required. I aim to come up with strategic recommendations that can be used to solve this problem

What questions do I have for the reference librarian? My question to the reference librarian is about; recent published articles, possible research materials that can be used and lastly, type of data to be used for the study (primary or secondary data).

Research question: To find out factors that contributes to black males dominating the prisons and whether these factors are related to their academic under performance.
