Your paper assignment is worth 3 test grades and is due July 2nd.  It's not really hard, but there are 3 parts. 

1.  The first page you will write is a crime graph that you will create using the UCR data building tool, downloading into Excel, and then copying the graph into a Word document.  Follow the instructions exactly.  You need to write a paragraph describing the graph and hypothesizing about why the crime trend happened, so do not forget this part.  This paragraph should be single spaced.  

2.  The second page is a summary of the "Truth in Sentencing" pdf attached to this assignment.  This page is double spaced.  ONLY SUMMARIZE THE FIRST TWO PAGES.  The first page is full, so if you open it and there are huge blank spaces, open it with another pdf viewer.  Make sure you summarize the differences between truth-in-sentencing, mandatory minimums, determinate and indeterminate sentences, etc.      

3.  Take one paragraph to summarize the basic logic of the Arkansas Sentencing Standards Grid.  It's the revised grid that is colored and on the third page.  Look throughout the document to understand things like "offense seriousness ranking table".
