The Final Project consists of an annotated bibliography and a 4–5 page argument based on a criminal justice issue of your choosing (Death Penalty). An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to scholarly articles with a brief descriptive and evaluative paragraph of the article (called an annotation). The annotation highlights the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the source cited. Once you complete the annotated bibliography, you develop a 4–5 page argument to support or oppose the criminal justice issue selected (Death Penalty).
· Select a controversial criminal justice issue (Death Penalty) You may select one of the issues covered in the course or another issue of interest to you.
· Use the Walden library to search for articles related to the criminal justice issue you selected.
· Select five articles in support of your issue and five articles in opposition of your issue (Death Penalty).
· Review each article and write a 150–200 word annotation for each article (consider relevance, accuracy, and quality of the source of information).
· Develop an argument for or against the selected criminal justice issue. (You must select one side of the issue and argue in support of the side you select.)
· 14–15 pages total for Final Project submission (10 pages of annotations, 4–5 page descriptive narrative synthesizing the articles you selected and justifying your argument).
