The rough draft for my paper 3 is attached, as well as papers 1 and 2, to provide you with more context. Paper 3 is a revised version of my previous two papers. My topic, the wicked problem of “street gangs,” is of significant societal concern as there isn’t one set solution to this problem. Paper 3 must be 20 pages or more; my rough draft is about 14 pages long already, so in reality, 6 more pages are needed to finalize the entire essay. No changes need to be made to my rough draft, in my opinion, but feel free to update it to make it flow with the remaining 6 pages if you deem it necessary.
A possible solution is presented toward the end of my rough draft, and my end goal is just to expand more on this possible solution (The remaining 6 pages) by giving more context and also presenting a counterargument(s). I am basing this possible solution on a strategy implemented by the Salvadoran government to tackle gangs and eradicate them from social infrastructure. There are mixed views and opinions about this strategy, but it shows how successful such strategy can be if implemented right. This could potentially be of great use to other nations dealing with similar gang issues. I have attached a link with useful sources.
Professor Instructions:
The goal of Paper 3 is to create a fully formed research paper. As such, it is expected that research done in Paper 1 or 2 is likely to be replaced or elevated before the Paper 3 submission. The combination of Papers 1 and 2 is expected to make up about half of the final draft for Paper 3, with the remaining pages being devoted to new work that presents and refutes a counterargument(s) and proposes a possible solution, arguing that solution as the best possible solution at present given available information/your research.
In a basic break down:
Introduction paragraph(s)
3-5 Pages spent defining the problem (its effects and characteristics) and answering the “so, what?” question.
3-5 Pages spent on a historical casual analysis of the problem or on a literature review analysis of comparative studies
7-10 Pages presenting a claim regarding a possible solution to the problem based on its definition and causes/available information; presenting a credible counterargument(s) to the proposed solution that is followed by a refutation of that counterargument.
