Chapter Application Paper Assignment Instructions:
Overview:
The purpose of this paper is to present your well-articulated perspective and thoughts from the chapters assigned from the reading. The integration of textbook and article sources is important in developing critical thinking skills in the abstract content that is in this course and in courses to come. This assignment should not be taken lightly nor should it be rushed. Articulating and developing critical thinking requires time thinking about the material.
Instructions:
Select one chapter from chapters 11-13 in Snipes: Vold's Theoretical Criminology and write an 8 page paper that summarizes, synthesizes, and then applies the information from the Chapter to issues/policies relevant to the topic.Your paper must be well-organized and be reflective of your thinking and struggles in these very complex areas of dealing with criminal offending. This paper must use 4-5 citations in proper APA format.
Each paper must identify the premise and supporting points of the chapter, a synthesis of the information from the chapter, and a critical application of the premise(s) and supporting points from the chapter to an issue of criminal offending. The paper should address:
- Key points, patterns, and trends from the information in the chapter with citations for the textbook
- How the chapter information applies to issues of criminal offending supported by sources outside the textbook
- Analysis of the chapter information from a Christ-centered perspective with citations from Scripture
The organization of your paper is very important. Please follow APA and make sure to use section headings in your paper. Make sure to include a cover page, a references page, and develop a well-formatted, grammatically correct paper. The cover page and reference page do not count toward the minimum number of pages for the assignment.
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
Please remember to add a bible verse at the end of the paper
