Each student will write a five (5) page paper responding to an issue related to law enforcement in America. The research paper should be written in APA style (strictly enforced) with a proper title and reference page (these pages do not count towards the five-page requirement). Each paper should be double-spaced with no more than 12-point Times New Roman font and one-inch margins on all four sides. You should include at least five (5) scholarly sources from peer-reviewed journals or court decisions (when appropriate) published in the last ten years for your paper. You are allowed the use of two direct quotes that should be no more than two sentences in length from the sources selected. The purpose of this requirement is to ensure the use of academic paraphrasing. Tables and charts should not be used to meet the five-page requirement; however, they may be used to supplement the information presented in the paper. DO NOT use your textbook as a source. Use of newspapers, Wikipedia, a mere Google search, or reliance on any other manufactured on-line source (e.g., dictionaries and encyclopedias) will not be accepted as a legitimate literature review.
