Police Deadly Force Dissertation
Budget: $25 – $50 USD
I am preparing a full doctoral dissertation (Chapters 1–5) on the use of deadly force by police officers, written from a legal perspective yet firmly grounded in current debates over racial disparities and media influence. I already have the topic approved and a rough outline, but I need a seasoned academic writer to turn that outline into a defensible, publication-ready manuscript.
Scope of work
Your task is to carry each chapter from concept to polished draft, ensuring logical flow, rigorous legal analysis, and seamless integration of empirical findings on how race and media shape—or are shaped by—case law, statutory frameworks, and constitutional doctrine surrounding police shootings.
Key milestones & deliverables
• Chapter 1: Introduction, background, statement of the problem, purpose, research questions, and definitions
• Chapter 2: Comprehensive literature review (legal scholarship, social-science studies, case precedents, departmental policies) highlighting racial disparities and media framing
• Chapter 3: Methodology—research design, data sources (e.g., court opinions, DOJ databases, media archives), sampling, ethical considerations, and analytical strategy
• Chapter 4: Findings and legal analysis with tables/figures where appropriate; quantitative or qualitative results clearly presented
• Chapter 5: Conclusions, implications for policy, and recommendations for future research
Acceptance criteria
• Every chapter aligns with current doctoral-level standards in criminal justice and law.
• Citations are complete and consistent (APA 7th or Bluebook—let me know which you prefer).
• All claims are supported by primary sources or peer-reviewed literature; no plagiarism.
• Revisions are incorporated promptly after my committee’s feedback.
I will supply the existing outline, preliminary sources, and any institutional templates once we start. If you have experience working with legal databases (Westlaw, LexisNexis) and statistical tools such as SPSS or R, please mention it in your proposal—I value methodological versatility.
Looking forward to collaborating on a dissertation that not only satisfies academic rigor but can also influence policy discussions on police use of deadly force.
