Disparities within the Criminal Justice System based on Gender

Description

As the name implies, a literature review involves searching or reviewing published studies and summarizing what the literature (articles or groups of articles) say on certain topics or issues – like those six topics or issues we already covered in Issues Identification Assignment in Module 2 of this class. So you may be discussing what ONE article says on police brutality (for example), or what several articles say on same issue. So you select issues from the Courtelaney scenario (either within or outside the six issues of module 2) and you search the literature (published works) and you summarize the consensus view(s) of articles on those issues … Some times you discuss consensus view of articles and sometimes you say all of the different views or the majority views of different articles on the subject. You will notice that sometimes the literature does not have any consensus or clear cut view(s) on an issue …. Your literature review must include a title page, reference page, and must review at least 10 studies and meet the minimum number of pages of narratives as contained in the table above – (not including title and reference page), or about eight different articles or studies – maximum 12-point font, 1-inch margins, and utilize proper APA citation format.
