Lengthy direct quotes are not permitted. Direct quotes, if used, must be limited to a few words. As university students, you are expected to paraphrase and cite.

While the assignments are to include an examination of current research of a particular problem, they also need to include the student’s careful and informed analysis of the problem.

The body of your response must be a minimum of 3 pages.
A reference page formatted to APA 7th edition.

Journal of Criminal Justice and Public Policy

Furthermore, do not use encyclopedias, dictionaries, newspapers (unless otherwise permitted), and popular magazines.

If you have a question about the quality of a potential resource, please email your professor.
You are encouraged to use the library to find the needed material. Additionally, at the bottom of this syllabus is a list of acceptable organizations and groups found on the World Wide Web which you can use to find material for your assignments.
