Module 7 Final Article for Publication

Each student will identify an ethical issue in the criminal justice field and write an article about

it. The topic is to be completely researched and the article length is dictated by the topic and

publishers guidelines, but the article must be no less than 1700 words. Normally 2000 words are

required for an article.

NOTE: The article is not to be a short story on your opinion of a particular topic. Your writing

is to be a scholarly article that is based on extensive research. Any articles that are not written in

the required manner will not be accepted. Do not write your article with less than 1700 words

for their publication as it is not something that would be suitable for a newspaper column

commonly known as the Letters to the Editor.

This assignment requires a critique by each of you. See below information on critiquing of

papers.
