If an elderly adult is institutionalized, the possibility of falling in a year rises to 1.5 to 2 times (Dijcks et al., 2005) and a serious ...

The comparison will be made between the United States and Nigeria. I decided to compare two countries with different political system, different geography and development. For the comparison three health indicators were chosen: “life expectancy at birth in years, under-5 mortality rate per1000 live births and total expenditure on health per capita”. All three indicators are a global indicator for deciding the health conditions, among others in the countries. Life expectancy at birth shows “the overall mortality level of ...

At a personal level, I was always sympathizing with cancer patients and donating money towards one research or another. However, I later realized that was not enough. One Saturday afternoon, my high school held a donation drive for the terminally ill ...

Introduction

The methodology is a systematic and critical discussion of the methods and procedures used to research a particular area. This chapter discusses the design and methods of the research process in detail along with the justification for selecting them.

Research Approach

The research approach is positivism; it is an empiricist view that considers that knowledge stems from human experience. The primary benefit of positivism is that it grants the required objectivity to the study by nullifying the role of human interest and the researcher's involvement. Crowther and Lancaster(2008) opined that positivist studies employ a deductive approach, and the researcher concentrates ...

Abstract

Nothing offends a society and community’s sense of morals and safety than instances where the most vulnerable of the community are subjected to brutal and crimes that define reason. Various agencies played significant parts in the perception of sexual felons as brutal, unfeeling and callous “brutes” out for the satisfaction of their own perverted carnal pleasures. However, research shows that what the media and other agencies reported tend to skew a proper study and comprehension of the proper understanding of what actually comprises sexual deviance. In addition, the public’s understanding of sexual felony is mainly founded ...
