Are juvenile crimes always a consequence of bad parenting?
Choose a current issue in criminal justice that interests you and write a three (3) page paper about the topic.
Explain the issue what is it, why is it important, whom does the issue affect and why, what impact does this issue have on our society, what can be done to improve or change this issue.
You are required to use three scholarly (3) sources – they must be professional, peer-reviewed journals. Publications such as American Journal of Criminal Justice, American Law Review, Police Quarterly, FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin, Journal of Police and Criminal Psychology are all excellent resources. People Magazine, Newsweek, Time, CNN, The Washington Post and Cosmopolitan are not acceptable scholarly sources.
You may NOT use books, Internet sites, web journals, newspapers or other extraneous sources.
Papers should be written in font size 12, Times New Roman, double spaced, and in accordance with American Psychological Association (APA) guidelines.
If you have Microsoft Word, use the search function by simply typing “APA” and the document shell will appear.
It will provide a cover page, running head and all formatting. Delete the abstract and table/graph/chart pages. The reference page is required – it is formatted for you.
If you are not familiar with APA, use the website Son of Citation for assistance with formatting or Purdue Owl. Both will guide you through tutorials or format citations for you to copy and paste to meet APA standards.
