Dear Student,
Hello and thank you for using Brainmass. As I see it, you are asking for advice in relation to forming the 'hypothesis' - the central question of your paper. Additionally, you are looking for assistance in forming the 'corollary questions' - questions attached and related to the hypothesis to help the study/investigation explore and clarify the topic more. At least, you already have a topic in mind - increase in criminal offenses. But this is pretty broad because you have not 'boxed' the main focus of your study. Are you going to be looking for the increase of female offenses in a particular location alone or would you like to look at the increase in female offenses of a particular crime (i.e. prostitution, drug use, bodily harm, murder, etc.).
