Part 1
For this assignment, you will be composing the introduction and review of literature sections of your research paper that is due in Unit VII. In Unit II, you selected your research paper topic, conducted research, and identified three articles that will be used (I have attached the research paper topic with the three articles for you).
Now, you will present your introduction, which will include your thesis statement, and your review of literature, which should include at least five scholarly resources that relate to your topic. The resources can include the three from Unit II (see attached) and an additional two for this assignment.
Please see the following Writing Center resources for help with constructing your introduction and literature review:
Introductions and Conclusions
Abstracts
Literature Review
Transcripts for these resources can be found within the Notes tab to the right of each presentation.
Be sure to include the following elements in this assignment:
APA title page,
APA abstract,
introduction (including your thesis statement),
review of literature, and
references page.
Remember that your introduction should capture and focus the attention of your reader, present your topic, give background information on your topic, and present your thesis statement.
Be sure that your literature review includes information related to the following:
deliberate indifference and its impact on the relationship between police and the group that your paper is focused on and
the psychological ramifications that police action taken against your group can have within a community.
This assignment should consist of at least two pages, not including the title page and references page. All sources used should be cited and referenced properly using APA Style.
Part 2
Instructions
In Unit V, your assignment was to begin writing the first part of the final research paper. This required students to submit the first several pages of their project:
APA title page,
APA abstract,
introduction (including your thesis statement),
review of the literature, and
references page.
The final portion of the paper will include the following:
discussion of the literature;
analysis and findings of your research;
conclusions drawn from your research, including how the media can operate to help improve the relationship between the police and the community, especially in regards to citizen perceptions of police regarding use of force and/or excessive use of force; and
APA references, including all references used in the development of your paper.
As you are combining the first part of your paper with the final portion, be sure to incorporate any feedback that you may have received from your professor in Unit V. Your research paper should consist of at least five pages.
All papers must be in APA Style that includes the items listed above and use of peer-reviewed journal articles, government documents, books, or monographs. Never use anything from newspapers, news outlets, blogs, websites, or anything Wiki as they are not academically acceptable, contain significant bias, or they are can be altered (Wikipedia).
