Dear participant,
You are invited to participate in a study of student attitudes towards police.
In this project, I will be investigating whether university students have had experiences with police, which may have affected their attitudes towards police and also what the effect of these attitudes convey.
You are requested to complete a questionnaire designed to obtain information about your experiences and knowledge of police, and once I have collected this information I will be analysing it and comparing with other students experiences to get a broad view of any bias that exists and then further analyse and conclude this in my report.
After you complete the questionnaire, please return it to me either in person or via email.
Sincerely,
Sophie Taylor Thank you for your assistance.

You will be assured of complete confidentiality. The information you provide for this project will have your name removed.
I have read the above information and I understand it.
I know of no reason I cannot participate in this study.
