Evaluate the authors’ use of literature using the Use of Literature Checklist as a guide
In the article ” Surveillance as casework: Supervising domestic violence defendants with GPS” (Ibarra et al,. 2014) it goes over how the use of GPS (Global positioning system) and ambient surveillance is used mainly to see how agencies care able to trace people’s movements and actions over a period of time. This strategy is useful when it comes to any type of crime but also to domestic violence by seeing what the individual searches or uses. Different agencies are able to trace people through their current location, vehicular movements, economic transactions, interpersonal contacts, online behavior and social media platforms (Ibarra et al., 2014). With this knowledge of how ambient surveillance is used it reminds me of the book Nineteen Eighty-four by George Orwell (1949), the book covers how society is monitored in their day to day life by “Big Brother”, a fictional character that can be seen as the government. Ibarre and their co-authors (2014) do a good job with explaining the use of GPS and ambient surveillance.
Evaluate the problem using the Problem Statement Checklist as a guide
The article does a good job of explaining the use of surveillance and how agencies utilize them but it does not go over a specific problem or example of a domestic violence case. Granted it wouldn’t let me see the entire article even when putting in the institution, but I was able to gather information through the abstract and notes it provided.
Explain what it means for a research study to be justified and grounded in the literature; then, explain what it means for a problem to be original using the Litmus Test as a guide
For a research study to be justified it must have evidence, accurate or relevant statistics, proper documentation and scholarly facts that support the research (Walden University Office of Research and Doctoral Studies, 2015c). For a research to be grounded it must have the ability for the researcher to either be able to build up on the topic they are studying or counter the previous or original findings of the study (Walden University Office of Research and Doctoral Studies, 2015c). The article going over “Surveillance as casework…” (2014) would not be considered original according to the Litmus Test due to there being multiple studies done about every aspect of how surveillance can be used through cell service, “silent” surveillance (tracking through phone usage, etc) (Ibarre et al., 2014), tracking devices or any type of item that be considered under surveillance.
