Garrity, K., & Degelman, D. (1990). Effect of police intervention on gang conflict.

Journal of Criminal Justice, 20, 168-172.

This journal article examines how police intervention can assist productively when rival

gangs are in conflict. 12 metropolitan cities around the USA were followed over a 5-year

span to gauge how often police utilized intervention strategies to break up ether fights,

threatening statements, or other activity that precluded violence on the city’s public area.

Results concluded that police intervention was perceived by the gang members to be “very

helpful,’ but only “semi-helpful’ to the community members that were polled.

Hien, D., & Honeyman, T. (2000). A closer look at drug abuse and violence: A study in

cities with a population over 500,000. Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 15, 503-522.

Hien and Honeyman surveyed 500 females who were on active probation for substance

abuse, asking extensive questions regarding their drug of choice, number of

years of active drug use, and their values on using aggressive verbal language prior to

engaging in acts of violence that ended in their arrest. The results indicated that there was

a positive correlation with drug use and the amount of aggression used by these females

that were arrested by local police.

protection against recidivism in justice-involved adults with mental illnesses. Criminal

Justice and Behavior, 44, 893-911.

Five different models of protective factors in the juvenile literature are applied to the review

of 550 adults involved in jail diversion programs. The Compensatory, Buffer, Challenge,

Protective-Protective, and Mediation models were all tested, with only the Compensatory

model showing adequate statistical support. Implications for potential differences in adult

and juvenile theoretical models are addressed.

Teplin, L. (1990). Detecting disorder: The treatment of mental illness among jail

Detainees in Norfolk, VA. Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 58(2), 233-236.

This article examined the quality of mental health treatment afforded to 320 jail detainees

housed in 13 jails throughout the area of Chicago. Information was gathered as to whether

a prior diagnosis was present before the time of conviction, and the type of treatment

(medication and/ or therapy) that was provided to each detainee. Results indicated that

only 45% of jail detainees entering the Chicago jails received treatment for a previously

diagnosed mental condition.

Please study carefully the following entry:

Teplin, L. (1990). Detecting disorder: The treatment of mental illness among jail

Detainees in Illinois. Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 58(2), 233-236.

This article examined the quality of mental health treatment afforded to 320 jail detainees

housed in 13 jails throughout the area of Chicago. Information was gathered as to type of

diagnosis, whether a prior diagnosis was present before the time of conviction, and the type

of treatment (medication and/ or therapy) that was provided to each detainee and the length

of time. Results indicated that only 45% of jail detainees entering the Chicago jails

received treatment for a previously diagnosed mental condition.

The author’s last name and first initial is all that is needed. No middle name, no

credentials like ‘Ph.D.’ A period belongs after the initial. Use bold font.

The year of the journal article belongs in parenthesis immediately after the name. If

there is a month or Volume/Issue number, it should be included after the title of the

journal, not here where the date is. Use bold font.

The name of the journal article begins with an upper-case word (Detecting, in this

example) and the rest of the words are lower-case. The first word after the colon is also

upper-case (The, in this example). Also, any proper nouns like a city or state are upper-

case, like the city and state in this example. Use bold font.

The name of the journal is written in italics. The title of the journal should be uppercase

for most words EXCEPT words like ‘of, the, and, in,’ etc.). Notice the Volume or Issue

number and the page numbers of the article. You may also write the month (if your

citation includes one) in this area. Use bold font.

The description of the article needs to begin directly below the information above.

There is no space, and the entire description is indented. Explain in 3-4 sentences

what the article is about for each summary: 4-6 lines will give you your two

pages!

Remember: you must use a scholarly article that comes from a published Journal

(like the Journal of Criminal Justice, for one example) and that has research studies that

were performed - with results that are analyzed and then reported.

Definition of a Scholarly Article:

A “Scholarly article” is one that is intended for an audience with knowledge in the field

(such as a college student ~ not the general public who might have zero knowledge on

the topic).

Articles are written by scholars, whose names are listed along with credentials. Articles

are footnoted, and list sources used.

4

Scholarly articles are not written for profit. They are “Peer-reviewed” by others in the

field before they can be published (as opposed to a magazine article or a website article

that can be submitted by almost anyone!)

*Please do not use newspaper articles, magazine articles, textbooks or books,

Encyclopedias, manuals, Dissertations or Theses – as none of these fit the

criteria of a "scholarly, peer-reviewed Journal article!"

I cannot accept those types of sources for this assignment, as the directions clearly

state that you have to use online sources from the Saint Leo Library that are scholarly

articles

Sample of journals that contain scholarly articles:

Crime & Delinquency

Criminal Justice Ethics

Criminology

Forensic Science Forum

Journal of Ethnicity in Criminal Justice

Journal of Research in Crime & Delinquency

Law & Society Review

Police Quarterly

Policing: A journal of Policy and Practice

Policing and Society

Social Issues & Policy Review

Urban Affairs Review

*Please note: for this assignment ONLY, everything is single spaced within the entries EXCEPT between entries (see the sample up above)!

Annotated Bibliographies are rarely used (except for Saint Leo writing

assignments! ) and you may never see this type of bibliography again…but

they are single spaced.

*Make sure to put your references in alphabetical order by LAST NAME of the author.

*Notice that the title of the Journal article is in italics, but not the title of the article itself!

Do not include the DOI #’s in your sources: they just take up extra room and are not needed! The same for Retrieval links; they are not needed either so don’t

insert them please!

You should not go over 3 typed pages:

Page 1: Cover Page

Pages 2 and 3: Your 10 listed Articles

-6 Points are deducted for going over 3 pages!

Points are deducted for missing annotations (<10) or for writing more than 10!

Each “source” or entry is worth 10 points, so using a non-scholarly source may cost you up to 10 points! Please email me if you have any questions about a source!

Please type directly into your paper when completing this assignment! Do not use a Template when typing a Reference page or when adding citation sources to a paper. I cannot make corrections when a student does this and most of the time, Templates are not in correct APA Format!

Templates that most students use are found in the Tool Bar of MS Word (see below):
