Annotated Bibliography
This Work must be 100% plagarism-free- no recycled work… This must be written from scratch.
Prior to beginning work on this assignment, read Chapters 4 and 5 from the text. It is also recommended that you review the upcoming assignments in Weeks 2 and 3, along with your Capstone Paper in Week 5. An Annotated Bibliography is a great way to organize your research and prepare you for completing the Capstone Paper Outline in Week 2, the Capstone Paper Rough Draft in Week 3, and your Solution Proposal Capstone Paper in Week 5.
The purpose of an annotated bibliography is to find, summarize, and critique scholarly and/or credible sources that you will use to complete your Capstone Paper. You will also use the information gained from the required readings this week to complete this assignment.
The Capstone Paper requires you to address five specific areas of your program of study and the learning objectives for the social and criminal justice program. Like the Capstone Paper, your annotated bibliography will consist of five various topics, each aligning with the first five course learning outcomes for this class, which are also the areas for examination in the Capstone Paper.
In your Annotated Bibliography
Analyze criminal justice issues within the systems of law enforcement, the judiciary, and corrections (CLO 1).
Evaluate the application of the social justice principles of equality, solidarity, and human rights toward building a just society (CLO 2).
Examine cultural sensitivity’s and diversity awareness’ impact on social and criminal justice (CLO 3).
Deconstruct the relationship between law enforcement, the judiciary, and corrections (CLO 4).
Interpret the relationship between social justice and criminal justice (CLO 5).
****For each of your five separate critical analyses of your sources for the Course Learning Outcomes listed above, complete the following:
Summarize each source’s thesis and/or main points in one paragraph.
Evaluate the relevance of the data used to support the thesis of the source.
Provide the formal APA reference entry for each source. The APA References/ sources DOES NOT INCLUDE the 825 words.
Briefly critique (as defined in Chapter 5) the accuracy, acceptability, strengths and weaknesses, and overall soundness of the article.
Explain, in one to two sentences, how each source supports your thesis and/or resolution.
The paper must be 825 to 1250 words in length, excluding title and reference pages, and formatted according to APA style. You must use at least five scholarly and/or credible sources, which includes the source you are reviewing, two sources that support or contradict the initial article, and any other sources that support your analysis. Visit the University’s Library to review the Criminal Justice Research Guide which may help in your research. You may also find the University’s Library Quick N’ Dirty tutorial, The Research Process tutorial, and the Advanced Search Techniques tip sheet helpful as you conduct your research. As you conduct your research, the University also provides the RefWorks tool that will help you organize your research, create APA reference entries and citations, and more. Creating a RefWorks Account will assist you in creating an account in order to start using the tool.
Cite your sources within the text of your paper and on the reference page. Use the Annotated Bibliography Template, available in the Writing Center to help you complete this assignment.
