Research Paper: Each student will pick a thesis that relates to a criminological theory as presented in the textbook. The purpose of this paper is to write a detailed paper on the theory chosen. The topic must be in writing. It should contain your paper topic and a thesis statement. This will also contain the name of 5 academic journal articles and the academic journal they came from. The paper will be 5 to 7 pages in length using correct APA (American Psychological Association) citation and referencing format with a minimum of 5 academic journal sources exclusive of textbooks, dictionaries, and encyclopedias(this includes electronic encyclopedias such as Wikipedia, which is not an academic source). This is a formal paper and should be written in 3rd person in Standard English. Your thesis is to be stated and connected to your conclusion, and a complete bibliography is to be furnished at the conclusion of the document. The paper must be typed using Times New Roman, size 12 font and doubled spaced. A title page, abstract page and reference page must be included. You must have 5 pages of your own writing backed up by sources. Page numbers must appear at the top right of the page except for the title page. Your paper will be graded on grammar including spelling and punctuation, general clarity, and organization including a clear thesis and connection to the conclusion. Additionally, each student is strongly discouraged from using lengthy quotes in papers and assignments. The instructor is interested in your ability to articulate an analysis of a situation and not your ability to cut and paste electronically.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
