[ Initial Proposal I ]

My first initial proposal is as such:

When preparing an initial proposal, please answer the following questions:
1. Which topic area is this proposal for? Crime and the Media
2. What is the suggested focus? Copycat Crime
3. Do you have an idea for a question/problematic? To what extent does it appear that Copycat Crime is propagated by the Media?
4. Why would you choose this? Because it's still inconclusive, and a current issue. One example being the most recent suicides in Wales. Although not illegal, Breach of the Peace and other related crimes are relevant. Negative effects research is a topic that we have recently covered, and one that I'm interested in.
5. Do you have any concerns or are there any limitations to this proposal? Might be difficult to find information regarding this, but statistics are vital. Still seems like a broad topic.
6. Can you rate it on a sliding scale 1- 5? 3.5
