Unit 1 Question 2:
Define the term “crime control perspective.” Compare and contrast the various crime control perspectives.
Begin each writing assignment by identifying the question number you are answering followed by the actual question itself in bold type
Use a standard essay format for responses to all questions (i.e., an introduction, middle paragraphs and conclusion
Responses must be submitted as a MS Word Document only, typed double-spaced, using a standard font (i.e. Times New Roman) and 12 point type size
Essay should be 750-1000 words
I need 3-4 citations, and one of them has to be from:
(S) Crime Control in America: What Works?
John L. Worrall, 2019
Pearson
ISBN.13: 978-0-134-84818-1
Citations need to be in APA style. Under this style, you should have a short-form in-text citation at the end of a cited sentence, and a complete reference at the very end of the essay in a Reference section. Footnotes and Endnotes are not used in APA citation format.
The short-form citation is written inside parentheses and contains the following information: the authors’ last names, the year of publication, and the specific page number where the information was read. In subsequent (short-form in-text) citations, you do not need to write the year of publication again.
For example:
A traditional bureaucracy should utilize a hierarchy or control that is spread throughout an organization. (Thibault, Lynch, & McBride, 2011, p. 85)
At the very end of the essay, in a Reference section, you must then give a complete reference of each source. For a book, the APA format is:
Author, A. A. (Year of publication). Title of work: Capital letter also for subtitle. Location: Publisher.
For this particular course in this example (BCJ 562), the textbook should be cited as:
Thibault, E. A., Lynch, L. M., & McBride, R. B. (2011). Proactive police management (8th ed.). Upper Saddle River, NJ: Pearson Education/Prentice Hall.
