Textbook to use as refrence Ch. 4: <\/b>Comparative Criminal Justice Systems <\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

By <\/span>Harry R. Dammer<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

OBJECTIVE:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The <\/span>objective<\/strong> <\/span>of the reflection paper is to <\/span>(1)<\/strong> <\/span>describe, explain and analyze one particular observation, argument or statement addressed in the assigned article or document, <\/span>and<\/u> <\/span>(2)<\/strong> <\/span>to identify particular challenges or problems <\/span><\/strong>associated with that observation\/argument\/statement. You need to demonstrate that you can apply the course material in your discussion of the assigned reading.<\/p>\n

Do not summarize<\/u> <\/span>the assigned article or document; <\/span>discuss it critically<\/u>! <\/span><\/strong>To discuss something critically does not necessarily imply disagreement or rejection. Critically discussing an observation\/argument\/statement implies that you <\/span>find information in relation to this point in other sources and use this information to either support or dispute it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You must <\/span>make use of the textbook<\/u> <\/span>to support your arguments<\/strong>. You may also use other scientific articles. Don\u2019t forget to cite your sources in your discussion! Do not only include them in a reference list at the end of your paper, but also <\/span>cite them<\/strong> <\/span>in the text to demonstrate where you used the sources.<\/p>\n

\n


<\/strong><\/p>\n

USE OF REFERENCES<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

The purpose is to develop an <\/span>informed argument<\/u> <\/span>in relation to a particular observation\/argument\/statement in the assigned reading. Therefore, you need to use the material provided in your <\/span>textbook<\/u> <\/span>and\/or other <\/span>academic<\/u> <\/span>resources that you find yourself to support the argument that you are making.<\/p>\n

Newspaper articles, news site entries, or government or agency websites are <\/span>not<\/u> <\/span>academic references.<\/p>\n

Also, do <\/span>not<\/u> <\/span>use Wikipedia, Encyclopedia Britannica or other similar encyclopedia-type websites.<\/p>\n
