Juvenile Justice

Research Paper Guidelines
The Research Paper is a BRIEF research paper combining your personal discoveries about a work or works that you can pull from appropriate research sources. The Research Paper must be overwhelmingly yours.

Requirements:

In three to five pages (at least 3, but no more than 5 pages), not including the cover sheet and reference page, research and discuss a topic relevant to this course.

You are to research the topic using either traditional methods (books, journals, articles, etc.), by using the Internet, or a combination of both. All works referenced, from either source, must be documented and credit given to the author or web site.

It will be up to you to narrow the topic down to the specific research you want to do. For example: if your topic is “alternatives to the incarceration of juveniles,” you may choose to research diversion programs, survival programs, community-based corrections, etc.

Guidelines:

Use APA format for this typed paper. If you are unfamiliar with APA format, you may check out this site Purdue Owl Online Writing Lab which has excellent tools for your paper.
Plagiarism is unacceptable. See the Scholastic Honesty Statement on the course menu for more details and cite all or any references.
Maintain college-level English language proficiency.
A title page and references are required. Cite all references.
