Students will select a question, statement, or topic from the text and develop a paper (three pages minimum) related to this question or statement. The paper should provide a minimum of five articles used as references. One source can be from a personal interview if properly cited. Articles cannot be from sources already cited by the authors of your text nor can the supporting points be from the text itself. The articles can include web-based resources. At least two of the articles cited must be from a primary source (original research material) that is scientific in nature. Additional credit will be given for use of a greater number of scientific sources such as criminal justice or social science research journals. The maximum number of total pages is up to each student.
The student’s grade will be based, in part, on how well they make use of articles and references as discussed in the above section. An example of the paper topic can be found in Cole, Smith and Dejong (2017) when they point out: “African American male youths generally have the highest victimization rates for violent crimes. Why are these young people more likely than other age, gender and racial groups to be robbed or assaulted? (p. 58-59).” If you selected this topic, you would be expected to provide your answer to the question of why African American male teenagers are assaulted at such high rates. You should support your answer with information from at least five articles. All submissions should be made using the eCourseware submission process.
Students will be required to keep an electronic copy of their paper. This will serve as a record of their work. All assignments will be double spaced (12-point Times Roman font) with 1-inch margins (all four sides). While graphs, figures and other supporting information are encouraged, page requirements relate to the text only. A references section is also required but will not count towards the page requirement. All papers must be submitted in APA format. Consultation with the professor is highly recommended in advance of submission of a paper. Late submissions will not be accepted for grading. The paper will count for 20% of your grade. All papers may be re-written and resubmitted for a new grade. If you re-submit your paper, your final grade will be based on the mean grade of both your first and second submission.
