RJA #13a: Field Research Report

My original plan was to survey 100 people in the general public and survey as many police officers and politicians as I could. I found it difficult to find police officers and politicians so I surveyed as many people as I could, including six police officers. I surveyed 128 people and asked yes or no versions of my original questions.

The first question was "Do you feel as though preventive detention is a good system to install in the United States as well as worldwide. Of the 128, 111 said they did not know what preventive detention was. After I explained what it is, 94 said yes and 34 said no. All six police officers said yes.

The second question I asked was "Do you think it is fair that a human being can be held captive without trial without committing a crime?" All 128 said no.

The final Question was "Do all human beings deserve the same rights?" 126 said yes and 2 surprisingly said no.
