Sexual Consent Laws: States and Statutory Rape Laws
For your analytical term paper,please choose an issue concerning juvenile delinquency in the United States. In writing this paper, it helps if you choose a topic that touches you personally - that is, one that you can relate to/with for one reason or the other. Please Note: The list of approved topics is available in the module on Canvas. You may find it more motivating to select a topic that addresses a problem relevant to your current or future career interest, your community needs, or issues currently in the criminal/juvenile justice system. You must define and describe the issue/problem in detail and comment on your perspective (with support from the literature) on how the issue/problem can be solved.
The term paper should be at least ten pages long and include the following sections: Introduction, Literature Review, Methodology, Discussion, Conclusion, and Bibliography. Your paper must be typewritten, using 2.0m line spacing, and appropriately referenced using the APA-7 referencing style. Ensure that your work conforms to the proper use of grammar, spelling, and sentence structure. Your paper should read like a very well-written journal article.
I encourage you to discuss your paper with each other. You must, however, submit a work that is truly yours. In other words, while two or more people can write on the same topic, the paper you submit must reflect individual enterprise; you are not allowed to collaborate on writing the assignment.
The following is the suggested outline for your term paper:
a. Introduction (Problem statement. What? Why? How?)
b. Literature Review - (Review of the extant literature on the subject, Why? How? Find a Hole; Look for Debates).
c. Research Design (Methods applied to obtain materials for your paper, How? Research Procedures, kind of data.)
d. Research Findings -evidence of the importance
e. Discussion of Research Findings (analysis of issue/problem)
f. Conclusions - Implications of Study/Research Findings for policy/solving of a real-lifeproblem; Importance; Contributions.
