Question

A researcher wants to contact former prisoners who are now on parole. She wants to study the difficulty of obtaining employment based on whether the subjects had been convicted of felony versus misdemeanor crimes. She needs to:(A) Have made initial contact with potential subjects while they were in prison.(B) Stop because this type of study is not permitted under federal regulations.(C) Do nothing in regards the Subpart C because the research does not meet the criteria for prison research

Answer 1

(C) Do nothing in regards the Subpart C because the research does not meet the criteria for prison research

Step-by-step explanation:

The researcher's study does not meet the criteria to conduct prison research and therefore the research could be marked illegal if continued. There are federal laws guiding research with prisoners as prisoners are seen as vulnerable population since their voluntary participation is compromised. For research to be conducted on prisoners, research must be approved by the IRB based on 45 cfr sub part C. In this case individuals who are on parole cannot be considered prisoners and so research cannot be conducted on them
