Good afternoon all,
I'm currently starting work on my dissertation and have been bouncing around with my specific topic. I have been most motivated to do my research on the MMIW crisis, but my advisor has advised that I scale it back to something more general for the sake of doability. I am really intent on remaining focused on missing persons, and am looking for gaps in existing research to focus on, and I thought that this would be a great place to get advice, info, feedback, etc. I would like to do some data collection on developing missing persons psychological profiles, specifically for women, that helps to differentiate people who purposely go missing versus people who are missing due to accidental circumstances or are forcibly missing. I'm from PA so I think it will make the most sense to focus the research in my area in terms of resources, but I'd love to hear anyone's thoughts or experiences if they have done something similar or have insight. Thanks!
Ollie
