You can try searching for a topic you are interested in (police, use of force, violence, gangs, sex offenders, substance abuse, juvenile offending, etc.) and would also include either quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods, in your search keywords with your other keywords and hopefully something should come up pretty quickly for you.
2) In your discussion response, provide 1) the full reference of your article, 2) discuss how you know it is qualitative or quantitative, 3) your views of the research method they chose. For example, could it have been conducted in the opposite research method?

(you will likely find this information in the discussion section at the end of the article.)

Counter Terrorism
Why is deterring terrorists a challenge? Do you think terrorists be deterred? Address both sides of the argument (through diplomacy, information, military, economic, financial, intelligence and law enforcement (D.I.M.E.F.I.L.) means).
The U.S. Government published the most recent National Strategy for Counterterrorism (NSCT) in October 2018. For this second topic you are to develop a framework for a brand-new National Strategy for Counter Terrorism of the United States. Address both domestic (homeland) components and offensive overseas elements.
Make sure to address how you will balance domestic security with civil liberties at home and how you will be effective in dealing with terrorists abroad without creating even more terrorists in the process.
Make sure your framework employs all elements of national power (diplomatic, informational, military, economic, intelligence, law enforcement, financial).
Also describe the importance of gathering all sources of domestic and overseas intelligence for effective counter terrorism efforts. You do not need to write an entire strategy, just the outline or framework for a new NSCT; an executive summary or details of your pillars or plan of action for a comprehensive strategy.
