The paper should include:
• Introduction to the topic—here the reader will quickly grasp not only the topic, but also the issue.
• Literature review relevant to the approach the student will take and the question at hand
• A discussion of the issues supporting the writer’s stance: this can be a holistic view of the main components of the system (law enforcement, courts, corrections), or a brief general discussion of the components followed by a more focused view on the segment the writer believes speaks loudest to the core argument.
• A brief discussion of the future as perceived by the writer

• Conclusion
The final paper should be 8 pages in length, written in 12-point Times New Roman or Arial font in APA format. Double spacing is required and margins should conform to one-inch.
Students should refrain from bolding the final print. Additionally, each page should be numbered, and page number one should be a full page. Citations in the body of the document and in the appropriate places are expected. In the event students find it useful to directly quote someone else’s work, in instances that necessitate more than a typed written line, they are advised that this needs to adhere to the following format: indented, single spaced type, and a lower font than 12 point, possibly 10 or 8 minimum.
A separate cover page is required; this should have the student’s name, the name of the course complete with course number, and meeting day and time. In addition, the name of the student’s instructor should be included. Please note that this title page will not be included in the eight pages required for this assignment.
A minimum or four sources and a bibliography page are also required.
