TOPICS FOR PAPERS

TOPICS FOR PAPERS

CORRECTIONAL SYSTEMS

The following is a list of topics for the research paper for this class. It is not an exhaustive list but will hopefully give you some ideas. You will need to get the topic approved by me before you begin if you choose a topic not on this list.

You will be required to write a research paper on a topic on corrections. The paper should be no less than FIVE word-processed pages, doubled-spaced with one-inch margins and size 12 font. You must have at least three references in your reference list and you must cite your references using the APA style. Failure to cite your references using APA will result in a significant deduction from your grade.

If you need help in writing a research paper go to Writing a Research Paper. Here are three more sites that may be helpful: APA Style Essentials , Citing Web Pages in APA Style and http://www.citationmachine.net.

This is a research paper meaning that you have read relevant material primarily from journals, books and appropriate websites. Be careful in choosing the website for your research as many are not providing objective information. Topics can be found by clicking on the Paper Topics icon on the homepage. If you choose a topic from this list you don’t need to notify me. If you want to write on another topic you must get my permission first. You should contact me by email with your paper proposal in that case. You also cannot plagiarize and if you do, you will receive an F grade for the paper.

Since this is a research paper, and not a position paper, do not include your opinions and do not use personal pronouns such as "I", "we" and "you".
