Module 3 No-prep Journal

Q Each no-prep journal is based on your pre-existing knowledge. You don’t need to read anything in the module before completing it. I am just interested in your thoughts about the topics we are about to embark on. Write a short (2-3 paragraphs) essay answering the following questions: • Do you have a specific CJ topic or research question in mind for your literature review? How would you formulate it as a title of your literature review? • Did any of the articles you have encountered in this course so far pique your interest? • What would be your strategy for finding empirical articles on the topic of your interest? • What are your biggest worries about writing your own literature review? (Only you and the instructor/TA will be able to see journal entries. They are graded based on how thoughtful and to-the-point they are.)

I would like to complete the literature review on the topic of recidivism. Specifically, I am interested in the examination of risk factors that affect recidivism among juvenile offenders. For the literature review's title, I would formulate the topic, "Risk factors for recidivism in juvenile offenders." I would start the literature review with the search for empirical articles. I would use Google Scholar and online journal and research databases, including ScienceDirect and EBSCO. Besides, I would utilize journals' websites, such as SAGE and JSTOR.
