What topic have you selected for this assignment? Explain.
Topic: Topic Selection and Position Evaluation
Details: You already did my Unit 1 IP last week, but I had to add the annotated bibliography (which she said was wrong) so please add.
In last week’s Individual Project, you selected at least 2 topics that you surmised were critical issues in the modern criminal justice system. The topics were to come from
issues, problems, and policies from law enforcement, corrections, or the court system. Consider that you are working toward a final capstone project position paper, and make a
selection of 1 of the topics you picked.
In this assignment, you will expound on one of the topics you selected by conducting a literature review. Use the literature you developed for references to prepare an analysis of
the topic, and identify required changes, revocation, or additions to the issue, problem, or policy you selected for study. Here, you will provide research analysis to defend your
position on the selected topic.
Tip: The closer you can write this paper to the finished product for the capstone project, the more you will have completed toward the goal of the research. Looking ahead, you
might consider if you are going to integrate this topic with a secondary topic that will be addressed in Week 3. Because you will be able to integrate the papers for Weeks 2 and
3 into the capstone project final paper, do an exceptional job and do not worry if you exceed the page requirement. It means you will have less to do in the final week when the
pressure is on. The idea of your research is to direct the information you develop and analyze toward your final capstone project.
Assignment Guidelines
Address the following in a literature review of 1–2 pages:
What topic have you selected for this assignment? Explain.
How did you select the topic you are researching? Explain.
Now, take the sources from the annotated bibliography, and conduct a literature review.
Address the following in 1–2 pages:
Why is this topic important to the criminal justice system and the citizens of the United States? Explain.
What are the various topic issues, problems, or policies associated with your selected topic? Explain in detail.
What do you propose as the changes to these topic issues, problems, and policies? Explain in detail.
Defend your changes with articulated support from legitimate peerreviewed
reference sources. This is absolutely critical for your paper to be taken seriously.
Tip: The defense of your paper cannot be stressed enough. You must take care to support factual statements with valid reference material.
Use the criticism of the instructor in this course for this paper as a guide toward a rewrite if necessary to make your final capstone project a major success.
Remember not to take it personally when you are criticized in terms of modifications to the paper.
Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.
Please submit your assignment.
