This is will be an Outline and a Annotated Bibliography, The paper will first start with the Problem Statement, then Outline and lastly the Annotated Bibliography.
Problem Statement: Evaluate a social problem and how it impacts the criminal justice system in the United States. ( I have chosen Social Media as a social problem).
Outline: (see attached file for template sample) Remember that papers are expected to define a significant problem faced by the justice system, describe the scope and consequences of the problem, and discuss society’s responses to the problem (including public policies and other less formal responses). Your paper should also present a clearly reasoned alternative, supported by scholarly research.
Annotated Bibliography: The purpose of creating a list of sources is to assist you in organizing and evaluating your research. (See attached file for a template)
In your paper,
–Identify the problem. Be sure to narrow your problem enough to allow a focused examination.
–Describe the individual, social, and criminal justice system implications of this problem. Discussion of implications should be supported by accurate research data.
–Summarize what experts say about the problem.
–Explain what we, as a society, have done to remedy this problem. Consider public policies and other, less formal responses.
–Analyze to what extent public policies and other, less formal responses are effective in addressing this problem.
–Propose an alternative solution to the problem.
–Analyze why the alternative is, or can be, an effective response to the problem. Remember to consider negative consequences of the alternative response.
–Conclude with your thoughts about your chosen social problem. This is a good place to include personal opinions, assuming you wish to share them in a research paper.
Create an annotated bibliography. In the bibliography, include the following:
Name of the source, including the complete bibliographic reference in proper APA 7th edition format,
Summary of the source (at least one paragraph) including how this source will contribute to your paper.
In short, define a problem, discuss the response, and provide alternative responses to the problem. Be creative, although suggestions must be supported by U.S. scholarly research.
Must include an introduction and conclusion paragraph. Your introduction paragraph needs to end with a clear thesis.
statement that indicates the purpose of your paper.
Must use at least five scholarly sources in addition to the course text. (will attach the course text only Chapters 1-4).
