In the overview section, you must identify the criminal justice reform that will serve as the basis for your research project and briefly describe what specific areas or topics will be included as part of the examination of this criminal justice reform. The overview section should be no more than two pages in length.
The annotated bibliography must include a minimum of six scholarly resources that you plan to utilize in the research paper. Each resource must be formatted per APA (6th ed.) guidelines and include a brief description of the information included in the resource and why it is relevant to the research project. You will be allowed to utilize more scholarly resources in the final research paper as appropriate. The intent of the annotated bibliography is to demonstrate that you are headed in the right direction with your research for the paper.
Part 1 of the Final Project should be approximately 4-5 pages in length (2 page overview, with the rest dedicated to the annotated bibliography), not counting the cover and reference pages.
