The term “racial profiling” describes race-based selection of citizens for interdiction by police and other legal actors. Several studies have examined whether police disproportionately stop minority citizens both in cars and on foot, and, once stopped, whether police are more likely to search or arrest them. Whether these contacts are racially motivated has been the focus of research, litigation, political mobilization, and internal scrutiny by police departments. This article reviews definitions of practices that are commonly described as racial profiling, contrasts these narrow views with the more complex legal standards that have evolved in case law, and assesses whether recent data collection efforts can generate reliable information about the extent and nature of racially disproportionate police contacts with citizens. Data analysis procedures are identified to respond to both legal and normative questions about whether racial disparities in police stops and searches rise to the level of “profiling” and cross the threshold of a violation of constitutional guarantees. The article concludes with a brief discussion of mechanisms for regulating and monitoring police-citizen contacts to address concerns of police and citizens on the racial dimensions of policing.

Questionnaire Survey is one of the most popular methods in Social Science study, the process of which consists of three phases: data collection, analysis and representation. At present, the practical operations of the three phases are still backward, and the methods used in data analysis and statistic are still simple. This paper designed a Survey Analysis System based on data visualization, which can not only realize survey on the internet, but also brought data visualization into the phases of data analysis and representation, so as to help users to obtain and operate data visually and handily.

In this paper I investigate the problems of data collection, data analysis and the final communication of the results of our research, when doing social science that we, ourselves, are part of. Central to this are the concepts life world, language games and stories and narratives. How do we collect stories and narratives in the field, how do we construct scientific narratives that are both reliable and valid? And finally, how do we, as researchers present our newly constructed narrative to a – hopefully – interested audience? That is, how do you, as a consumer of scientific narratives, read what I have been writing? Finally, I will discuss the problem of handing over research results to the people that we are doing research with. This is all done within a framework of a pragmatic constructivist paradigm.

This study aims to increase the attention of children during the learning of storytelling activities through the method of telling stories with hand puppet media. The reason for the selection of hand puppet media is because it has a unique shape, patterns and motifs that attract children's attention. This study is a collaborative classroom action research using the Kemmis and Taggart Model in 1990. The subjects in this study were the Group B children of Nurul Ibadah Kindergarten 2015/2016 Academic Year, totaling 15 children consisting of 9 men and 6 women. The method of data collection is done by observation and documentation. The instrument used was an observation sheet. The data analysis technique used is quantitative descriptive. Children's attention when learning storytelling activities can be increased through the method of telling stories with hand puppet media with steps (1) the teacher conditions the child, (2) the teacher tells the story title to be read, (3) the teacher introduces the puppet according to the characters in the story ( 4) the teacher tells the contents of the story, (5) at the end of the teacher gives a question to the child to know the child's memory and understanding of the story being read. Children's attention increases every cycle. In pre-action the attention of children with the criteria of good attention was only 13.33% (2 children). After the action in Cycle I increased to 60% (9 children), and in Cycle II the attention of children increased again to 93.33% (14 children).

The paper deals with the problems while planning the application of method of observation as the primary method for data collection. These include determining the objectives, theoretical and operational elaboration of the research plan and collection of initial evidence from other sources of data that can be used to successfully plan research mainly based on observation. In the first section of the paper it is pointed to the unjustified overemphasis of differences between participatory and non-participatory forms of observation in its planning. The second section shows the possibility of its application to other sources and methods of data collection when planning observations. Special attention is paid to the role of interview and sequential analysis. In the third section, the issues of preparing data analysis in the planning of observation are specifically discussed. The fourth section shows the specificity of the planning of observation, depending on the nature of the data. We also considered the concretization of the plan of observation, including the selection of size, location and time for performing monitoring and positioning one or more observers. The fifth section briefly points to some suggestions about training observers. The concluding section of the paper deals with planning during the observations, with emphasis on grounded theory.
