In your Annotated Bibliography, identify at least five scholarly and/or credible sources, which includes the source you are reviewing, two sources that support or contradict the initial article, and any other sources that support your analysis in the Week 5 paper, which calls for you to:
Explain the differences between treatment and punishment concepts.
Evaluate types of treatment and types of punishment options for violent and non-violent juvenile crimes.
Examine the research as to whether treatment, punishment, or a combination of both (treatment and punishment) is most effective for reducing recidivism in juvenile offenders.
Identify the prevailing perspective (treatment, punishment, or combination of both) in your jurisdiction and one other jurisdiction [Note: this may come from a government or other equally credible source].
Analyze the research on recidivism rates for each jurisdiction (yours and the other you chose) to determine which has lower recidivism rates.
For each of your critical analyses of your sources for the points listed above,
Summarize each source’s thesis and/or main points in one paragraph.
Evaluate the relevance of the data used to support the thesis of the source.
Briefly critique the accuracy, acceptability, strengths and weaknesses, and overall soundness of the article.
Explain, in one to two sentences, how each source supports your thesis and/or resolution.
Provide the formal APA reference entry for each source.

include at least 3 sources. paper must be 5 pages long not counting references. must complete an Annotated Bibliography for the 3 sources you use in the paper.

see attached file with reading chapters lecture notes and question to be answered in red. must be written in apa 7th ed graduate/doctoral format and be conservative and pro American in view must cite and reference the bible once

Sources must be preferably from scholarly journals or high quality trade magazines
Use at least a 12 point Times New Roman or Calibri font with one-margins.
Do not include a cover page or title for your proposal.  Just begin with the word “Introduction” centered at the top of the first page.
Your name should appear at the top right of every page in the manuscript (i.e. a header).  Page numbers should appear at the bottom right of every page of the manuscript (i.e. a footer).
The Introduction, Literature Review and Methods sections must all be written in narrative (i.e. not outline) form.
The maximum word lengths for each of these section are strict. See The Required Outline for the Final Research Proposal.  For the Literature Review section this will require you summarize and combine similar information into one or two sentences that are followed by textual citations from multiple sources.  Refer to the APA format guidelines for directions on textual citations.  It may be possible to summarize information into tables to save space.  You may also decide to delete some information but be careful to not reduce the number of sources used to below twenty sources.  Neither the Bibliography nor the Appendix have maximum word requirements.
Only four major section headings (Introduction, Literature Review, Methods and Bibliography) should appear in your manuscript.  Each of these should be in bold font and centered above the start of their sections.
If an appendix is used then the word ‘Appendix’ should appear at the left margin in bold type before the content of the appendix.  If multiple appendices are necessary, each should be numbered sequentially as they are referred to in the manuscript.
Only two subsection headings (Context and Summary of Prior Research) should appear in your manuscript.  Both appear only in the Literature Review section.  Each of these subsection headings should be in bold format and at the left margin of your manuscript.
Each of the three main sections (Introduction, Literature Review and Methods) have specific content requirements that must appear in the final manuscript, Subsections headings for these content requirements are not allowed.
The process for writing the first draft of the Literature Review section involves;
Organizing snippets into logical groupings based on the idea or information they contain,
Summarizing the snippets that contain the same information into one or two sentences, and
Writing transition phrases (e.g. “The research finds that …” or “Other researchers have alternatively found that …”) between the snippets so that each paragraph (and in turn the entire manuscript) is flows logically from one thought to the next..
It is anticipated that the Literature Review section will contain a large amount of information from the sources with textual references to the sources from which this information came. 
Each paragraph throughout the manuscript must be cohesive.  This means that each sentence contained in a paragraph is relevant to the particular topic of that paragraph.  Paragraph cohesion relates to the readability of a paragraph.  Avoid the temptation of merely stringing together snippets.  All paragraphs, regardless of where they appear in the manuscript, must have a minimum of three sentences. 
Sources listed in the Bibliography must be;
Actually used within the text of your manuscript, and
In the American Psychological Association format.
Sources include as references within the text of the manuscript must refer to a source that is actually in the Bibliography.
Measurement instruments (e.g. surveys, interview questions, pretests, post-tests, coding sheets, etc.) that are important to your proposed methodology must be:
Fully developed into their required formats,
Referred to within the appropriate part of the manuscript, and
Included in an appendix after the Bibliography section.
Attach your final submission to the assignment page provided in Canvas.  All submissions must be either in a .doc or .docx format unless prior arrangements are allowed by the professor.

The paper will be broken down into four individual sections: Introduction, problem analysis/literature review, recommended solution, and conclusion. To complete the assignment, the student must research the nature of the mental health problem affecting a particular subset of criminal justice professionals, discuss the problem(s) involved, and formulate a plan to best address the prevalence of this problem using empirical evidence from scholarly literature. The “plan” must be specific and include initial steps to set up the policy change or new program, quality assurance measures to ensure effective implementation, data collection mechanisms, and measures for success. The student should write the paper from the perspective of a criminal justice manager in their chosen field who can implement change, and specify the steps, and obstacles, necessary to accomplish their goal.
Using APA standards, in an approximately 8-12 page paper (quality over quantity, length suggestions for each section shown below), the student should:
Section 1: Introduction – Identify and frame the problem. Provide an overview of the mental health issue including its nature and extent, and discuss why this is an important criminal justice related problem (1-2 pages).
Section 2: Conduct a literature review on the topic that includes evidence regarding the extent of the problem and how it is (or is not) currently being addressed. This review should consist of scholarly literature – journal articles, books, government reports. Websites, newspapers, and other printed materials may help frame the problem, BUT they should not be used to form your evidence base. The literature review should focus on both the problem and scholarly research that evaluates or establishes a foundation for the proposed solution. If there are limited solutions available, then students may need to select solutions from other areas and apply them to their problem. For example, there are limited interventions specifically directed at reducing officer cynicism, but a student may choose to modify peer support programs or resiliency training to also address sources of cynicism (3-5 pages).
Section 3: Recommendation – the student will use the empirical evidence to formulate a recommended solution (policy/program/initiative) to address the mental health issue. The plan should be realistic and include both short-term and long-term steps to build toward both long-term and short-term goals. In order to successfully complete the assignment, the student must discuss possible obstacles, ways to overcome these obstacles, counter arguments (i.e. what would adversaries say) and how these counter arguments may best be addressed (3-5 pages).
Section 4: Conclusion – The student will summarize the salient points of their argument and recommendations for the future (approx. 1 paragraph to 1 page).
The first draft of the paper is due for peer review by a fellow student Sunday, April 21, 2024. This paper must be submitted to the professor by email. The paper will be given to a fellow student for peer review. It should be very close to a final product – but it will not be graded by the professor. Another student will provide feedback to improve the paper before it is due to the professor (see guidelines for peer review below).
The final paper is due by Wednesday, May 8th at 11:59pm via Blackboard Turnitin.

In
preparation for your response, please review various sources to include, but
not limited to, demographic data, incarcerated juveniles’ statistics and
alternatives suggested by juvenile advocacy groups. After you’ve gathered your
research information, conduct an analysis of your findings and make
recommendations for programs that are alternatives to juvenile incarceration
and/or suggest successful prevention of juvenile crime. While preparing your
response, think creatively but ensure you relate your response back to ideology
deemed successful by previous studies and advocacy groups. Additionally, please
include how your suggestions compare to the textbook’s recommended programs
and/or what you have found highlighted in other sources.
