For this assignment, you will provide an annotated bibliography for three peer reviewed Journal Articles as sources and provide the complete source information using APA 7 citation. The sources DO NOT include web pages, links or news sources, movies, documentaries, law review or law journal articles, or personal communication. Also, avoid reports and books for this assignment. None of these are typically peer-reviewed. The assignment is due Sunday, April 9th by 11:59PM.
To learn more about annotated bibliographies, consult the following link: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writing/common_writing_assignments/annotated_bibliographies/index.html Links to an external site.
You may choose 1 Justice related topic from the below:
Police Discretion and the 4th Amendment (3 peer reviewed sources)
Stop & Frisk and Crime (3 peer reviewed sources)
Jury Decision Making (3 peer reviewed sources)
The impact of Witherspoon v. Illinois (death qualification) on jury decisions (3 peer reviewed sources)
The impact of Miranda (3 peer reviewed sources)
Do not simply paste the article abstract into your assignment and use it as your annotation. Each annotation should be a page in length. So, I am expecting full pages that are in Times New Roman size 12pt. font, double spaced, with 1-inch margins.
You should provide:
Please provide a summary of your topic prior to summarizing your articles.
a summary of each article,
a discussion of the findings, as well as
evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each article for you annotations. (These are typically discussed at the end of the articles)
Grammar, sentence construction, APA citation, and content matter.
A very nice example of an annotated bibliography can be found here -but please follow the example provided at the beginning of this page: https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/assignments/annotatedbibliographies Links to an external site.
Articles can be found readily from the FIU Library online or Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/ Links to an external site.
For Google Scholar, just type your topic in the search box. You should also try for more recent works by adjusting the dates to the left of the screen.

Example pasted from the above:
Campbell, J. C., Glass, N., Sharps, P. W., Laughon, K., & Bloom, T. (2007). Intimate partner homicide: Review and implications of research and policy. Trauma, Violence, & Abuse, 8(3), 246-269.
Note: Sometimes, there are errors in the citation using the above tactic. Make sure you check it for accuracy. There are a number of guides online. Example: https://guides.library.sc.edu/citation/apa Links to an external site.
Google Scholar may not have all articles available, but it can be linked to the FIU library to access articles if needed. At times it is very difficult to access through google scholar. The link is as follows: https://libanswers.fiu.edu/faq/18021- Links to an external site. and shows how to link google scholar to the FIU library.
Another source to generate citations is: www. citationmachine.net Links to an external site.. It generates APA citations automatically and is free to use but also may produce errors. Always check for accuracy.
NOTE: Even though this assignment is not due until later in the semester, you may work on this off-line and simply upload when it is due. You will be uploading your paper in Canvas, but your assignment will process through Turnitin.com – a plagiarism detection program. There will be no make-ups for the assignment as you have almost the entire term to complete it. If you find that you have not finished the annotated bibliography by the due date, submit what you have completed for partial credit.
There are no re-submissions of the annotated bibliography after the due date.
