FORMAT REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY
1 .American Psychological Association (APA) Style
2a.
Be sure to provide the COMPLETE BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION in APA STYLE,
INCLUDING ELECTRONIC IDENTIFICATION (e.g., DOI or URL if appropriate).
b. For each entry, include a 2-3 paragraph summary of the
entry’s main points and/or your overall evaluation of the reference.
The summary should be in your own words and not simply copied from the
entry abstract or some other source; each citation summary should be
written in complete sentences, typed, double-spaced, one-inch margins
all around, 10-point font (10 entries total, 20 points per entry,
submitted via Canvas no later than WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 29 by 11:55pm).
c. ALL bibliographic entries should be from scholarly
journals or book chapters (either online or hard copy; NO WIKIPEDIA
CITATIONS). It is recommended that you consult
electronic resources such as JSTOR, Google Scholar, and Google Books for
the ten entries. If an article is behind a pay site, you may still use
it without reading the entire complete source. Be sure to include the
complete bibliographic citation and use the available abstract for your
annotation. DO NOT COPY THE ABSTRACT WORD-FOR-WORD: Paraphrase it and
put it in your own words.
d. The 10 entries should generally cover the theories/crime
types covered in text. In other words, you should not turn in 10
citations on a single theory or type of crime; with flexibility you can
draw from a variety of crime types/theories. There may be some
repetition of content in your choices of chapters/articles, but the
purpose is to thoroughly familiarize yourself with the information in
the process of answering the weekly discussion questions. It is
recommended that you search for articles while reading each chapter
week-by-week, and choose references that will add to your knowledge of
the theories and aid in answering the discussion questions.
e. It will be easiest for you to research and choose your
entries via electronic searches, but you may also search hard copy
sources in a library. I do not need nor want hard copy articles of your
sources, but you must supply complete bibliographic citations per a and
b above.
f. The entries should be organized as a list alphabetized by
author’s last name per APA Style. The title should read ANNOTATED
BIBLIOGRAPHY OF CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR SYSTEMS. This annotated bibliography
should be typed (double-spaced, one-inch margins all around) and
submitted to me via Canvas no later than WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 29 by 11:55pm.
g. The Annotated Bibliography should be an original
composition, not recycled from another class. Additionally, chapters
from textbook should not be used as references in the bibliography. If
you have any questions, PLEASE CONTACT ME.
