(Book) Chapters 1, 2, 3 and 5 – minimum four-page, max double-spaced, paper analyzing information from all 4 chapters while citing at least 2 “points of discussion” for analysis from the chapters (see: ch 1 – p61, ch 2 – p82 and ch 3 – p121 and ch 5 – 188) – 2 points of discussion total, not 2 per chapter
Couple things, be sure each paper has a bibliography as a stand alone page at the end (this is in addition to the in text citations and footnotes – I know the textbook may be the only source for papers 2 and 3 but please list it along with any other sources you use). I believe strongly in bibliographies as they both protect you and show that your work is data driven from objective sources often heavily peer reviewed. It is also a central pillar in the criminal justice profession, often the question when you’re on the stand in court or in written affidavits (i.e. search warrants and wiretap warrants) is how do you know that and what source did that come from?).
I know 4 pages will not cover the material to any large extent. Feel free to refine your focus on something that interests you from the chapters, or present from a wider perspective, either way ok. Within the body of the paper, allude / mention / reference 2 separate points of discussion from the various ones after the 4 chapters (not 2 from each chapter). The reason I do this is it allows you to focus on an area within the info you’re interested in and it shows some more critical thought based on the info associated with the 2 points..
