Assignment: Crime & Society

To prepare for your Paper, you will develop an outline, using the sample below, that includes an abstract, problem statement, and annotated bibliography. Use the UAGC Writing Center's Writing an Abstract resource for additional guidance.

Problem Statement: Evaluate a social problem and how it impacts the criminal justice system in the United States. You will recall that in the Post Your Introduction activity in Week 1 you identified a social problem. You may use that problem for your Paper or choose a different social and criminal justice problem.

Outline: Using the sample below as a guide, provide an outline for your Paper. Remember that papers are expected to define a significant problem faced by the justice system, describe the scope and consequences of the problem, and discuss society's responses to the problem (including public policies and other less formal responses). Your paper should also present a clearly reasoned alternative, supported by scholarly research.

Annotated Bibliography: The purpose of creating a list of sources is to assist you in organizing and evaluating your research.

Question 1. Identify the problem. Be sure to narrow your problem enough to allow a focused examination.

Question 2. Describe the individual, social, and criminal justice system implications of this problem. Discussion of implications should be supported by accurate research data.

Question 3. Summarize what experts say about the problem.

Question 4. Explain what we, as a society, have done to remedy this problem. Consider public policies and other, less formal responses.

Question 5. Analyze to what extent public policies and other, less formal responses are effective in addressing this problem.

Question 6. Propose an alternative solution to the problem.

Question 7. Analyze why the alternative is, or can be, an effective response to the problem. Remember to consider negative consequences of the alternative response.

Question 8. Conclude with your thoughts about your chosen social problem. This is a good place to include personal opinions, assuming you wish to share them in a research paper.
