Psychology and Law Final Paper Instructions:

For your final paper, you will need to write a paper about a TV episode of your choosing! The page restrictions are that it must be between 4 and 12 pages.

It must be in 12 point, Times New Roman font, double spaced, 1" margins, proper punctuation/spelling, and coherent sentences/paragraphs!

Be advised: the "A" paper that is only 4 pages must be an extremely well-written, full, 4 pages. "A" papers have generally been between 4.5 to 8 wellwritten pages, meeting all requirements. As practice in concise writing, you should also be able to keep the page limit under 12 pages.

The TV episode should be one that you can relate to the class (of course!). For example, I suggest watching SVU, Bones, Law and Order, CSI, etc. After watching your selected episode, you will relate the episode to various topics studied in the textbook this semester.

Please write your paper based on a single episode.) I know many episodes are readily available online or through Netflix, Hulu, etc.

The first part of your paper (approximately 2 or 3 pages max) should identify the TV show that you chose to watch, and provide a short summary of the episode.

For the rest of the paper, you should clearly relate the episode to at least 4 different topics covered in the book, chosen from at least 2 different chapters. I.e., Do NOT use 4 topics from a single chapter-show me that you have read the rest of the book! If you do not feel you have enough to talk about from your episode, then watch a different one!

For example, you could discuss how the characters used a lineup in the show, but then discuss how Chapter 5 points out how changing from simultaneous presentation to sequential presentation could have improved eyewitness identification and might have changed the outcome of the show.

Or, you could point out other aspects of the show that were inaccurate (according to the textbook) and could have been changed. As part of your clear writing, please explicitly name the Chapters that you are talking about (e.g., "In Chapter 5 where it talks about ___")

The textbook is Greene, E. & Heilbrun, K. (2014). Wrightsman's Psychology and the Legal System. Belmont, CA: Wadsworth. [8th Edition] ISBN-10: 1133956564; ISBN-13: 9781133956563
