The Rise of Lone Wolf Terrorism in the US

Your theoretical framework is the next assignment. My best advice – do not overthink this! For most of you, it will only be 1-2 paragraphs long! Your theoretical framework will either be about gaps in the literature or a theory on which you are building your study! Go back to your proposal and look at the notes I provided to you. Many of you can literally make minor revisions and the assignment is done!

For Gaps in the Literature – you will only have about 1 paragraph. Tell me about what you have seen in the literature and what gaps you think exist. That is it.

For Theories – you will have about 2 paragraphs. The first one tells me about the theory and the second one tells me how you are applying it to your study.

The biggest mistake folks make on this part is that they overthink things! Keep it simple!

Two samples are attached – one is on gaps in the literature and one on a theory.
