Final Paper general outline

Note: Instructions. The final paper must be a minimum of 7 pages double spaced. You should use the APA method of citation and proper formatting. These seven pages include the following: Introduction, body of the paper, the conclusion and the work cited page. The cover page will not be counted as part of the required 7 pages. The font should be Times Roman- 12. Do not try to produce 7 pages by using a bigger font.

Part One: Introduction: Think seriously about the introduction because it sets the tone for the whole paper. Start with something catchy or something interesting such as a short story or incident, a report or something that helps you to highlight your thesis statement and the significance of your work. I will give an example just to illustrate but be as creative as possible. You might give a story that someone has told you or your own experience.

For example, if my project is on Police brutality against black people, I might want to start with something that will hold people’s attention like the following:

On March 13, 2020, Brionna Tylor was in her own house when she was killed by the police. She was not out in the streets stealing, fighting, or committing any crime yet she died in the hands of people who are supposed to protect her. Two months later on 25th of May, 2020, the world witnessed the horrible death of George Floyd when a law enforcement person Mr. Chauvin put his knee on his neck for 9 minutes and 26 seconds. Many other cases of murder of black people in the hands of the police have been reported in our social media and other mass communication devices. What are the causes of these brutal murders of black people by the police? What is being done and why is it not enough? How can this brutalization of black people by the police be stopped? This paper is an attempt to answer the above questions. It is my hope that this paper will highlight the suffering that black people experience at the hands of the police and hopefully result in reforms and improvement on how policing is done in America. The following paragraphs will discuss books and articles that address this heinous crime because these writings help to show the prevalence of this issue in our society.

This kind of introduction will help you to set your paper and you will find it easy to continue with the rest of the paper.

Part Two: Literature review

Your next paragraph should tell your reader what is being done and what others have written on the subject. Books and reports on the subject are important in this section.

You can start with a statement like: Many scholars have done extensive research on police brutality and its impact on people. For example, after his intensive research on police brutality ________ observed that_________. He also maintained that police brutality is a form of racism.

This is the place where your annotated bibliography will be helpful.

Discuss what is being done and why you think it is not enough and give reasons.

Reports and statistics are also very important here because you are making your case.

Part three: Causes of police brutality against black people.

Discuss some of the reasons given to explain police brutality.

Part four: What has been done and why it is not enough.

Part five: Suggestions on how to move forward.

Conclusion:
