1. What is your research question?
What is the relationship between heterosexism and gender role stereotypes to domestic
violence offending?
2. Who/what are the units of analysis?
The units of analysis of the research include; data collection by survey, books, newspapers,
and magazines. The data will be collected by a survey that would include both open-ended and
close-ended questions. Moreover, secondary sources would also help in research to collect data
relevant to the research topic.
3. Who/where are you going to create a sampling frame from?
The sampling frame includes all the participants included in the research. The data will be
gathered from 40 non-victims and 60 victims, and these participants will submit their responses
by the survey. The main reason to gather both kinds of groups is that the non-victims also know
about domestic violence and the relationship between heterosexism and gender role stereotypes.
The non-victims would be students and people who work in NGOs and deal with cases of domestic
violence. Victims would be selected from NGOs and shelter homes, and the data would be
collected from them.
4. What method do you think would be the best way to randomly select your sample?
Non-probability sampling method would be used in the research, as the samples would be
selected on the basis of subjective judgment of scholars as compared to random selection. It would
rely on the expertise of researchers, and it would be done by using qualitative research and
observation (Lamm & Lamm, 2019). All members of the population would have an equal
opportunity for contributing to the research as compared to probability sampling. It does not focus

on the precise representation of participants in a smaller sample group of participants. Moreover,
in non-probability sampling, snowball sampling would be done. Initial participants would be
chosen, as they would match the predefined standards. Participants are chosen on the basis of
referrals, and researchers would ask participants to recognize other people to remain the
component of the sample because both non-victims and victims specifically have knowledge about
the topic. Snowball sampling would be the best way to encompass purposive sampling once the
present resources of getting new participants are exhausted. This technique would be useful
because the research would be done on a sensitive topic or on the participants who are stigmatized
or secluded to reach (Bhardwaj, 2019). For instance, snowball sampling might be the best way to
comprehend the number of women who experienced domestic violence and non-victims who
examined domestic violence. In this method, the referral method would enhance sample size but
also focus on the capability of researchers to regulate who would be in the sample.
5. What is a second possibility for selecting a sample? Be detailed. I will review both
methods and help you pick the best one.
The second possibility for choosing the sample is convenience sampling, as it is the best kind
of non-probability sampling. In this method, participants would be sampled merely as they are
convenient sources of data for researchers (Speak et al., 2018). Every item in the population would
be famous for having a popular non-zero probability of being chosen by the usage of the random
selection process. The volunteer victims and non-victims would be selected as participants for the
research. This sample would be simple, efficient, and cheap to implement. The sampling would be
used for qualitative research, as participants would be chosen from NGOs, educational
departments, and shelter homes. Convenience sampling is also called accidental sampling, as the
researchers would utilize participants who are available to reach the research conveniently.

Collecting samples from the population is not always possible, as reviews, habits, and opinions for
the researchers can be collected in a simple and easy way (Krupnikov et al., 2021). For instance,
convenience sampling delivers data from an idea of participants regarding domestic violence. The
researchers would gather opinions on the basis of choice and ideas of participants regarding
domestic violence. Questionnaire surveys would be given to the participants to collect data about
domestic violence.
6. Based on the articles you have collected on your question and the research that has
already been done, how many people do you think is a good goal? Please cite sources
to support your answer.
The articles were gathered related to the research question, and there are numerous people who
are a good goal for the research. Gows (2021) researched to explore sexual violence in South
Africa. The researcher argued about the close evaluation of the neglect of gender and sexual scopes
in biopolitics in colonial communities (Gows, 2021). Females in South Africa are suffering from
domestic violence, as there are numerous probabilities of resistance in contradiction of bare life.
Walklate (2018) researched to explore dilemmas of intimate partner violence in Northern areas.
According to the research, there are various silent and innocent females that experience silence
culture and violence as well as participate in vulnerable and fearing subjects (Walklate, 2018).
There are numerous practices and policies of risk evaluation and risk as a reply to violence against
females to ensure transportation crossways the globe related to the weak foundation of implications
in connection to the setting. Besides, Seinfeld et al. (2018) researched to explore that criminals
become the victim in actual reality that then focuses on the influence of viewpoint in domestic
violence. There is a great role of empathy in securing aggressive behaviors. Control group and
male domestic violence criminals deprived of history of domestic violence experience abuse in

first-person idea (Seinfeld et al., 2018). The criminals have a lower capability to identify terror in
females with a bias to divide terrified faces as prosperous. Therefore, all of these articles are very
effective, and these people can help to do detailed research on domestic violence.
