For this writing assignment, you will select a scholarly article related to the functioning of courts in the United States. You are expected to write a four paragraph essay in which you will provide your thoughts on the research and

its implication for the general understanding of the functioning of American courts. You will 1) briefly describe the background of the topic/article, the importance of the topic, the research question/hypotheses guiding the

research, and why this topic needs to be addressed through research (approximately 1 paragraph); 2) discuss the results of the study and the implications discussed by the authors as well as how it relates to what you have

learned/not learned through your other course readings and lecture (approximately 1 paragraph); and 3) provide your reaction to this research (approximately 2 paragraphs). Your reaction could be your thoughts on additional

research that is needed for you to better understand these findings and conclusions, critiquing the findings, the implications of the research for policy and practice, or suggestions for changes to current courtroom functioning. Be

creative and provide your opinions! You should not simply restate the arguments made by the authors. The lack of original thoughts will result in a loss of points. You should think more broadly about the impact of this research

and its implications for the overall functioning of the Criminal Justice System. CRJ 5103 The Criminal Justice System

Assignment requirements:

• 2-3 page double-spaced essay (anything over three pages will not be read)
• Essay in APA format

The goal of this assignment is to help the student understand how and why research articles are written, promote academic writing, which includes proper grammar, clarity, and succinctness, and provide the student with additional information on the court system in the United States. As such, you will be evaluated not only on your ability to follow the guidelines of the assignment but also in your writing ability.
