Homework: Criminal Law

Prior to beginning work on this homework, read Chapters 3, 4, and 5 from Introduction to Juvenile Justice. It is also recommended that you review the upcoming Paper Outline homework along with your Treatment Versus Punishment: That Is the Question! Paper instructions. An Annotated Bibliography is a great way to organize your research and prepare you for completing the Paper Outline in Week 3 and your Paper. The purpose of an annotated bibliography is to find, summarize, and critique scholarly and/or credible sources that you will use to complete your Paper. You will also use the information gained from the required readings this week to complete this homework.

The Paper requires you to identify resources that will support your argument of whether treatment, punishment, or a combination of both treatment and punishment are most effective in reducing juvenile crime rates and recidivism. Like the Paper, this homework will focus on analyzing some of the research in targeted areas of juvenile criminal behavior.

In your Annotated Bibliography, identify 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 in the paper, which calls for you to:

A. Explain the differences between treatment and punishment concepts.

B. Evaluate types of treatment and types of punishment options for violent and non-violent juvenile crimes.

C. Examine the research as to whether treatment, punishment, or a combination of both (treatment and punishment) is most effective for reducing recidivism in juvenile offenders.

D. Identify the prevailing perspective (treatment, punishment, or combination of both) in your jurisdiction and one other jurisdiction [Note: this may come from a government or other equally credible source].

E. Analyze the research on recidivism rates for each jurisdiction (yours and the other you chose) to determine which has lower recidivism rates.

For each of your critical analyses of your sources for the points listed above,

A. Summarize each source's thesis and/or main points in one paragraph.

B. Evaluate the relevance of the data used to support the thesis of the source.

C. Briefly critique the accuracy, acceptability, strengths and weaknesses, and overall soundness of the article.

D. Explain, in one to two sentences, how each source supports your thesis and/or resolution.
