Do You Have What it Takes to be a Detective?

Hello

You are invited to participate in Do You Have What it Takes to Be a Detective. In this questionnaire, you will be asked to put yourself in the shoes of a real detective as you answer questions and give orders in the order real detectives approach a case right up to the catching of the culprit. The case in the questionnaire is inspired by true events, and we ask that you be realistic and serious in your response.

Additionally, here are the terms of participation:

• Participation in this study is purely voluntary and the only compensation will be SRPP points to all participants.
• Participation will take place online.
• You are free to terminate your participation at any time without any ramifications.
• Your participation is completely anonymous and no information will be requested that may be traced to you.
• Responses will be treated with respect in order to protect the identity and dignity of participants.
• You may approach the researcher at any time during the study for questions or comments.
• The responses given will be used as part of a honours research study.
• The game is inspired by real criminal cases, and although somewhat animated, sensitive individuals should refrain from participating (although, as far as possible, any upsetting details were avoided)
• The questionnaire will present you with a criminal case, and you will be asked to answer questions a real crime investigator may be faced with from the initial crime scene till the suspect is arrested, and will take approximately 6-10 minutes.
• Your answers will be anonymous and your email address will only be used for future correspondence. Your address will only be seen by me and will to be given to any other party, and I will only contact you if necessary.
If you have read, and accept, these conditions, please tick the box below and continue.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact the researcher, Melissa Meyer, at [email protected].

Please note: Although this is designed to have an element of fun, please consider each question realistically and seriously as if you were really a detective investigating a case.

I agree and give my consent
