I need help with my English Research paper topic?

Question

Hello everyone! So I have to come up with a topic for my English research paper.It is suppose to be like 8 pages so I am worried. My teacher tells us she wants not a broad topic so I am having trouble of coming up with something.I m trying to do it on something that is intruiging to me and would be an intersting topic. I am really starting to lean towards child abduction. Now if you are doing the research paper on a "modern" topic it has to be a problem and solution paper. So how should i present it? should th problem be how can we prvent less child abductions and then ....? Any ideas would be helpful. I m not sure how many books here are about child abduction and the history of it.. thanks! (:

There are plenty of sources on child abductions. Your main problem will be narrowing your topic down enough so that you can fit it into 8 pages.

And...WHY aren't you sure how many books there are on this subject? Do you not have a clue how to use an online library catalog? (I'm afraid I know the answer to that.)

Sure, talk about how child abductions are actually not a problem in today's world and that media attention makes the issue, especially the issue of abduction by strangers, far scarier than it actually is.

High profile cases of child abductions probably began with the Lindbergh Baby:
