We often do not always recognize the power of science and technology in shaping and giving

directions to all societal forces that constantly influence our day-to-day lives. With the rise of

the modern state, science, and technology began to influence the lives of ordinary people as

the government began to implement policies to improve the quality of life of citizens–the

Criminal Justice System is an example of that process. Within the criminal justice system, the

Department of Corrections, as a state agency, has also adopted different scientific measures to

build prisons and different prison-based programs to enhance the skills of inmates to reduce

recidivism rates. The massive growth of high-tech has brought all of us to a stage where AI

(Artificial Intelligence) has become a powerful tool for change. Conducting secondary data

research develops a topic of research investigation, showing the current importance of AI in any

aspect of corrections and designing a research proposal on that particular topic or research

question. In designing the research proposal, you need to follow the given below steps:

1. Develop or define the problem related to AI and an aspect of the Corrections of the

Commonwealth of Virginia.

2. Develop an extensive literature review addressing your topic and also give a theoretical

explanation of the problem.

3. Formulate or develop one or more hypotheses related to your study topic.

4. Determine and describe the methodology to be followed to complete the study.

5. Determine and describe the data collection strategies—Quantitative or Qualitative.

6. Describe the data collection strategies.

7. Proposed data analysis techniques.

8. Summarize the findings and write a report.
