I need the Thesis Statement by tonight at midnight, but all other work isn’t due until next Monday.

Research Project – Final Research Paper Instructions

As the final assignment for this course, you will prepare a Final Research Paper. Throughout the course, you have written a Thesis Statement and an Annotated Outline. The Final Research Paper will combine and expand upon those two assignments.

The Final Research Paper must include the following elements:

1.   Title Page;

2.   Abstract;

3.   Body (including an Introduction, Body Paragraphs/Argument Section, and Conclusion); and

4.   Reference Page

All components of the Final Research Paper must be written using current APA formatting and must be on the same criminal justice topic that you selected for your Thesis Statement and Annotated Outline.

The Final Research Paper must develop an argument that is highlighted in the thesis statement and supported with solid academic research and analysis. Each facet of the thesis statement must be addressed and analyzed throughout the paper.
