Topic: For your paper, you may choose any form of violence discussed within the course. Your topic should not be so broad that you cannot properly cover it in the page limit, and it should not cover all of the forms of violence in one chapter.
The purpose of this paper is to expand your knowledge of a specific topic from the course and improve your writing and research skills. You will probably find this assignment most appealing if you choose a topic that either intrigued you a lot or troubled you.
Guidelines:
1. In the paper, demonstrate that you have thought independently and creatively about the readings, class discussions, and other material related to the topic you have chosen. If you are having trouble getting started, here are a couple of examples: a) If several points of view were presented on the issue, which do you find most/least favorable? Why? or, b) Do you agree or disagree with the points made in the readings? Why?
2. You must use, at a minimum, the book and 3 outside academic sources. Academic sources include other textbooks, non-fiction works on your subject, and peer reviewed journal articles from journals such as: Aggressive Behavior, American Journal of Criminal Justice, Criminology, Police Quarterly, Journal of Family Violence, Journal of Interpersonal Violence, etc. If you are still not sure what an academic source is, please contact the instructor, the library, or the writing center for more guidance.
