Description
I need you to go over this methodology & rewrite what needs to be fixed, as I said my professor gave me a 75% and he gave comments which I’ll attach. He also gave us a writing tips that I want you to use. Analyzing your words is important ‼️ because I need you to write as if you were me & there are words your using that I wouldn’t and he’s catching on to it. I’m going to send you the original methodology, the writing tips, and a document that shows the way I wrote something’s so you can understand how he understands me. It’s like doing the assignment explaining your process and having a conversation. Take the feedback from what he said & fix it so it’s better you don’t have to do the entire thing over just revise

Research Design
In this research, the qualitative design is well-suited to examine federal policy’s impact on drug
mitigation and human trafficking. The subject is extremely sensitive since it has many different
aspects. Unlike the quantitative method’s focus on numerical data, statistical analyses are used in
qualitative research to explore the underlying dynamics and complexities involved in these
criminal activities (Elo & Kyngäs, 2008). Through adopting an interpretative and naturalistic
approach, researchers can place themselves within the real-life contexts of these policies coming
to life, gaining glimpses into what it means to deal with drugs and human trafficking. This
includes victims, law enforcement officials, policymakers, and advocacy groups (Shelley, 2012).
Qualitative research approaches provide researchers with important insights and stories of
all the actors involved in solving these problems, revealing differences in environmental
conditions, social interests, and the methods of different departments, communities, or regions
(Elo & Kyngäs, 2008). Using techniques such as interviews, observations, and document
research, qualitative researchers reveal “the texture of complexities” in terms of different
accounts, values, and meanings that depict the picture of drug policy and human trafficking. One
can only form the empirical foundation necessary for changing or suspending laws by examining
this understanding. This makes it clear not only the planned objectives of federal undertakings
but also the unintended results, areas of no execution, and ‘gaps’ or places where things could be
improved (ISSUP, 2019).
Sampling Technique –
2
Purposive sampling was a more suitable method for this research. This is a result of its
ability to pinpoint specific sources of information that provide a comprehensive overview of how
the federal government deals with drugs and human trafficking (Denzin et al., 2023). Since the
subject was extensive and complex, it was important to ascertain that the sources selected were
closely related to the research question and provided information on policies and strategies to
implement them and their effects. Concentrating on official governmental reports, policy
documents, and academic articles means that the material collected will show how to address
drugs and human trafficking policies at the federal level. The researchers could nibble around the
subject matter’s edges through this carefully chosen process. Porporously selecting sources has
led us to a pluralistic vision of the subject.
The purposive sampling helped to select the most authoritative and in-depth analyses of
federal drug and human trafficking legislation. By choosing sources directly applicable to the
research topic, this sampling method meant that the data collected would be high quality and
reliable (Palinkas et al., 2023). While official government reports and policy documents
furnished authoritative information about legislative frameworks, program evaluations, and
enforcement strategies, academic articles offered critical evaluations and empirical evidence on
whether different policy interventions are effective. This targeted type of sampling enabled
researchers to obtain a broad and solid dataset that could hardly have been better suited for an
overarching analysis of the federal assault on drugs and human trafficking. Through purposive
sampling, a wide variety of sources were brought on board, which together provided a
comprehensive view of U.S. programs and changes in law concerning drugs and human
trafficking. In this case, verifying facts properly from the multiple sources collected was easy.
They helped the broadest possible view of the impact of federal policies in mitigating drugs and
3
human trafficking, opening their eyes to the strong and weak points, and what needs doing next
in existing practice.
Data collection
This study collected data mainly using the official website of the Administration for
Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This site safeguards a
wide range of resources for federal efforts to abate human trafficking (Giommoni et al., 2022).
This site was chosen as the main source because it is a bona fide government platform. Its
information is almost staggeringly full-grown. The ACF’a resource library abounds with various
reports, policy documents, toolkits, and guidance materials, offering insight into Federal policies,
initiatives, projects, and programs to combat trafficking in human beings. By tapping into this
data repository, I maintained access to current and dependable material straight from the source.
This ensured exact representation along with a high degree of credibility.The government’s
official website and trustworthy scientific papers were used to augment the data collection from
the ACF’s resource library. We sought publications and scholarly articles retrieved from
academic databases like Google Scholar for enlightening views analyses and empirical evidence
on federal human smuggling intervention policies. These scholarly materials contained analyses
of theory, alternative points of view, and indirect references to complex empirical studies only
hinted at by the official government sources. By bringing in scholarly literature, researchers
could make their analysis more thorough and combine the results of different methodological
points of view. The sheer volume of the federal executive’s anti-trafficking activities has been
cataloged in a detailed survey with an enormous amount of primary data (both qualitative and
quantitative) from many years.

Data analysis
The research uses qualitative content analysis as its method of inquiry because it pays
attention to the living nature of the data and because it often discovers coherence amidst a welter
of unconnected and even contradictory information (Denzin et al., 2023). With this in hand,
research assistants took on the entire body of data deep-reaching, probing several sources, from
policy documents to articles. Applying systematic codes to the textual data for handling and then
categorizing it will help reveal some of the frequently recurring themes, policy priorities, and
strategies that cropped up in various sources. This approach made for an all-encompassing
examination of the content so the team could extract more comprehensive information than
would be possible otherwise, as well as noting the general directions some federal drug or human
trafficking policies took over this period.
In this qualitative content analysis, the main focus was on figuring out what current
federal strategies and priorities in fighting drugs and human trafficking are. After analyzing the
data, the I developed themes such as the Interrogation of offenders, victim support and service,
international cooperation, and preventive efforts. Through classification and analysis of these
themes, I gained insight into the areas with which the federal government is directly involved, as
well as strategies it uses for dealing with drug and human trafficking difficulties. This
methodical examination helped break down the many facts accumulated from the materials they
gathered into logical insights on what the goals and approaches of federal trafficking policy
were. This systematic analysis helped to disentangle the glut of information from those sources,
yielding clear results about the broad goals and approaches characterizing the national crime
prevention drive. The qualitative content analysis confirmed that most participants had a deep
understanding of the government’s policy and action against drug and human trafficking, with an
5
emerging fear for their lives. I summarized and interpreted what I found in the textual data-highlighting government priorities and strategies. The analysis showed that federal interventions
were multilayered, involving law enforcement and support techniques that would humanize
victims (U.S. GAO, 2022). This integrated perspective gives a clearer picture of the complexities
inherent in fighting back against drugs and human trafficking. It has important implications for
policymakers, practitioners, and advocates in this field.
Limitations
The research has several limitations：
Sample Size: The study limits the generalizability of findings by relying on a particular database
and using selective sampling Techniques.
Personal Bias: Despite efforts to remain objective, researchers’ viewpoints and biases may affect
the interpretation of data.
Sampling: Purposive sampling methods in selecting sources will produce biased research,
possibly overlooking alternative viewpoints.
Data Availability: Official government sources have limited data availability, and accessibility
may impact the study’s thoroughness.
Still, from this study’s perspective, and for all its limitations, the qualitative approach
adopted in researching federal government efforts to mitigate drugs and human trafficking
through policy interventions has some real value.

Summary
In conclusion, the qualitative research method, which features purposive sampling,
comprehensive data collection, and qualitative content analysis, has yielded fruitful results in
revealing how federal policies affect drug and human trafficking. Through a careful study of text
using documents from government sources and professional literature, these federal programs’
main focus and aspects are criminal prosecution, help for victims, international cooperation, and
prevention. This study shows that federal action against these crimes is a many-sided thing. It
reveals not only complexities but also real difficulties in these activities. By fleshing out the
sensitivities of policy implementation and the views that those involved in and affected by it
hold, this study broadens our understanding of federal activity in drug trafficking and human
smuggling. It has implications for bettering future research endeavors, practice, and policy
development.
