In your analysis you should connect what you read in the article to at least TWO concepts from the assigned textbook (Fichtelberg, A. (2022). Criminal (In)Justice: A Critical IntroductionLinks to an external site. (2nd ed.). Sage. ISBN: 978-1071841907.) .

In your analysis, include reference to at least ONE peer-reviewed article relevant to your topic. Keep in mind, the summary of the news story should NOT be the bulk of your assignment.

Write more about the criminal justice concepts you are referencing and less about the details in the news article. You want to demonstrate that you can apply your acquired knowledge to better understand and analyze real life interactions with the criminal justice system.

Specify whether your news article is an opinion piece, editorial, or a news report. Throughout the assignment, you must provide in-text citations using proper APA formatting.
