• At a minimum, use the following headings in your paper:
o Introduction (Give a thorough description of what you will be covering in your paper)
o Scan (justify through your research that it is a big enough problem to devote the proper resources to)
o Analyze (describe the deep root of the problem)
o Respond (remember to respond to legislation, police, and courts)
