Research Topic Paper
Due: 11:59 pm Sunday of Unit 1.
Submit a paper identifying the specific issue you are choosing to do your Research Paper on and why you chose this area, be specific. The research paper due for this course is to pick a current issue related to the rights of people under correctional supervision or custody. You will need to discuss both sides of the issue and then you must pick one side of the issue that you agree with and support your decision.
Remember, you are only identifying the specific issue that you will be writing your research paper on and why you selected that specific issue. The complete research paper is not due until Unit 7.
The paper shall be in APA format, typed in 12pt. font Times New Roman, and shall not have been turned in previously to any other instructor for any other course or assignment. Paper length is 1-2 pages not to include the cover page or bibliography. It is to be submitted as a Microsoft Word Document. The research paper shall be an individual effort and not a group project. Since criminal justice is a social science, the writing requirements of the American Psychological Association, otherwise known as the APA, will be in effect for the research paper assignment.
Please refer to page two for the grading rubric
Students: Be sure to read the criteria, by which your paper will be evaluated, before you write, and again after you write.
