Research synthesis in the area of crime and delinquency
I am offering Bachelor thesis topics in the area of research synthesis focused on crime, delinquency and victimization. These topics will involve systematically synthesizing existing research that utilizes advanced technologies such as virtual reality and large language models (LLMs). Students will engage in comprehensive literature reviews following PRISMA guidelines, learning to apply these standards for conducting transparent and methodical reviews. The goal is to critically assess the use of novel research methods in psychological and criminological research, equipping students with the skills to synthesize evidence and distill broader empirical patterns, research trends, and holistic insights. For more information about how we structure our supervision at the Center for Cognitive and Decision Sciences, see our dedicated Bachelor’s thesis website.
