RESEARCH PROJECT – FINAL RESEARCH PAPER INSTRUCTIONS As the final assignment for this course, you will prepare a Final Research Paper. The research can be written as either a research proposal methodology or a definitive analysis of the study conducted. You have written a Thesis Statement and an Annotated Outline. The Final Research Paper will combine and expand upon those two assignments. The Final Research Paper must include the following elements: 1. Title Page: Must use proper formatting as set by the APA style guide or Example papers; 2. Abstract: The abstract must be between 150–250 words and provide a clear summary of the paper; 3. Body (including using each level of headings/subheadings for the following sections: Introduction, Body Paragraphs/Argument Section, and Conclusion), see example papers for proper APA formatting requirements for a research study paper; and, 4. Reference Page All components of the Final Research Paper must be written using current APA formatting and must be on the same criminal justice topic selected (Thesis Statement and Annotated Outline). The Final Research Paper must develop an argument that is highlighted in the thesis statement and supported with solid academic research and analysis of data collections. Each facet of the thesis statement and annotated outline must be addressed and analyzed throughout the paper. The body of the Final Research Paper must be comprised of 4–6 pages of content. The Title Page, Abstract, and Reference Page are not included in the page count. The introduction must include background information on the criminal justice topic, a well-written thesis statement, and a preview of main points on a research study. The body must thoroughly support the assertions made in the thesis statement with the use of analysis and comprehensively developed subpoints and academic research. Each paragraph must address one issue and directly relate it to the thesis. The body must also be well-organized and use correctly formatted headings. The information must explicitly refer to the main topic. The conclusion must summarize each of the main headings/subheadings of the paper. The Reference Page must include at least five-scholarly sources published within the last five years. The sources must be cited both in the body of the paper as well as in the Reference Page. Biblical references do not count toward the citation requirement.
