The Crime-Control Effect of Incarceration: Does Scale Matter?

    This paper will be broken into 3 different assignments. *To start project, I need to select an informal or formal policy. Assignment #1 Policy Description. using a minimum of two peer reviewed, scholarly journal sources (you may also include the policy/law in question where applicable), describe the policy that you have chosen to focus on, answering the following questions in essay format: How did the policy come to be? What prompted such a policy? What are the requirements to the policy? Who is the policy supposed to affect/protect/serve? Where is the policy used> In what cases is it used? In short, your description should be geared toward informing a reader who has never heard about the policy. you may use up to three newspaper sources of organization websites (No Wikipedia-yes to Sentencing Project, Department of Justice, etc.) This section of you paper must be at least 3 pages long, double-spaced, 12-point Times New Roman font. Proper in-text and bibliographic citation (APA style) is absolutely required. And Literature Review: Using a minimum of four new peer reviewed, scholarly journal sources, conduct a literature review on you policy and related issues. A literature review provides your reader with an overview of any research (**this means scholarly work) that has been done on your topic already. you are not limited to studies specifically connected to your policy-you should also consider related issues. For example, if you are researching the Amber Alert, you should look at studies related to child abduction and kidnapping in addition to looking at works specifically focused on the policy. The ultimate goal of a literature review is to tell your reader what we (the discipline of criminal justice) already know about the topic at hand, with the assumption that they don’t know anything about your policy/issue. This section of you paper must be at least 5 pages long double-spaced, 12-point Times New Roman font. Proper in-text and bibliographic citation (APA style) is absolutely required you must provide both sources used in you bibliographies. **Note:the policy description and literature review is not a place for analysis, it is simply, a description. Any issues/problems you see with the policy should be reserved for assignment #2.
