, QUESTION 1 Scenario A neighbourhood in Centurion has recently been
experiencing several housebreaking incidents. Consequently, they have
contracted First-rate Security – where you are a security manager - to assist
in safeguarding their homes and neighbourhood against burglars. As a
prospective master’s student in Security Management at the University of
South Africa, you have decided to conduct research on housebreaking in this
neighbourhood. You are particularly interested in the incidents of
housebreaking and the security measures that residents in this
neighbourhood are currently using. The objectives of your study are to
determine what security measures are in place and the effectiveness thereof;
to analyse the nature of the housebreaking incidents experienced in this
neighbourhood and to provide recommendations on security measures for the
prevention of housebreaking. Furthermore, you want to design a security
awareness program to help the residents of this neighbourhood better protect
themselves and their property. Based on the scenario provided, answer the
following questions: 1.1 Gather existing literature on the research topic and
formulate the research problem statement. (10)
Formulating a research problem statement is a crucial step in
defining the scope and purpose of your study. To create an effective
research problem statement for your study on housebreaking in the
Centurion neighborhood, you should consider the following
elements:
1. Identify the Research Topic: Begin by clearly identifying the
research topic. In this case, it is housebreaking in the Centurion
neighborhood and the security measures in place.
2. Review Existing Literature: Conduct a literature review to
understand what is already known about the topic. Identify key
findings, gaps, and areas where further research is needed.
3. Define the Research Problem: Based on your literature review
and the objectives of your study, define the specific research
problem you aim to address. The research problem should be clear,
concise, and focused.
Here's a research problem statement for your study:

surge in housebreaking incidents, prompting concerns
among residents and the engagement of First-rate Security
