Understanding the Challenges of Reentry
To accomplish my research goals, I will gather qualitative data using a qualitative interview based case study. Participants will be gathered to participate in a semi-structured interview using convenience sampling to obtain maximum variability. The interviews will consist of open-ended questions in effort to collect qualitative data on the experiences of parolees during their reentry processes. The interviews will be conducted in a mutually agreed private meeting space. Meetings will occur in a secure, quiet location for recording purposes. Once all interviews are completed and transcribed, I will be coding the interviews by identifying keywords and themes to ensure cohesiveness of the analysis. Finally, I will write my analysis which will connect identified themes to my research question and literature review. Afterwards, I will write a literature review and complete my thesis.
