Q By performing this assignment the student will accomplish Student Learning Outcome # 2, and Student Learning Outcomes # 1- 4 of the Course particular. Each student must type a research paper with a minimum page count of seven pages - not including the title page and bibliography. The paper will consist of the following: 1. title page 2. body 3. bibliography The title page must include: the student's name, a title of the paper, the course title and date. The title page is not to be numbered, nor does it count towards enumerating the other pages. The body of the paper should be about seven pages, in font size 12, Times New Roman, double-spaced with one inch margins all around. There should be NO running headline placed on each page. The presentation, organization and quality of the paper, taking in consideration grammar and mechanics will impact the grade received. Refer to the “maximum grade achievement” (Attachment A) in terms of how to achieve the maximum points available. The bibliography should contain at least five resources. These resources should be peer-reviewed professional research articles, and scholarly books. I discourage the use of "website" writings. Journal articles (peer-reviewed professional research articles) that appear in print and are later reproduced full-text on the Internet do NOT count as a website; by "website" it is material written for an internet site, not merely reproduced there. If there is a dilemma about a source please check with the professor. The research paper should focus on some aspect of a criminological theory, an area of crime, criminal data, or any area that the class has addressed or will address. Students are encouraged to employ their imagination in developing the paper. Students are encouraged to develop a topic that interests them, not to simply write a paper just to satisfy achieving a grade. Here is where critical thinking can be employed.
