How does incarceration impact families?
Hello,
My research question is “How does incarceration impact families?” but I want to mainly focus on the mental and psychological aspects of it.
Below I have copy and pasted the prompt for this literature review..
I have also attached my MRQ and an example of what the format should look like *from a previous student*
Introduction: This is a revised version of your MRQ describing the question your paper will answer and why the answer to this question is important for policymakers or practitioners. You should have a clear thesis statement and a sentence or two mapping out your main points toward the end of your introduction.
Literature review: Your literature review should summarize, synthesize and analyze peer-reviewed academic articles or books in order to present scholarly perspectives that help answer your research question. Your lit review should be organized with sub-claims. Each sub-claim should have corresponding evidence from your library research. Remember to paraphrase and analyze in your own words, rather than relying on a bunch of long quotations.
Your paper must include in-text citations in APA style. When you paraphrase, cite the author name and year of publication in text. When you include a direct quotation of three or more words from a source, be sure to include “direct quotation” (author name year of publication: pg #).
Conclusion: This is your chance to tell readers what your research will contribute to criminal justice studies knowledge. You can draw from your MRQ to discuss why criminal justice practitioners, service providers, or policymakers could learn from your findings, and what changes they might make as a result. How might the answer to your question inform policy? How could service providers or criminal justice system professionals use the results of your research in their daily work? How might the answer to your research question change the practices of a group or groups of people? Focus on concrete policy recommendations.
References: List all of the sources you cite, in APA style. You must have 8 sources, including 4 peer-reviewed sources. This means academic journal articles or books, not only newspaper articles, blog posts, think tank or policy advocacy reports etc. You can include additional peer-reviewed or other credible sources (including news media) for a total of 8 sources cited in your references list.
Below are the references I would like to use for my literature review essay.
I have also attached my “MRQ”
