Additional 3 Academic Peer Human Trafficking Bibl

No directly quoted material may be used in this project paper.

Resources should be summarized or paraphrased with appropriate in-text and Resource page citations.

In this assignment, you will pull together what you did in assignments 1 & 2, in addition to a little more analysis. You will then write a paper.

For this assignment you are to:

  • Find an additional 3 academic peer reviewed academic articles about each of your variables (you will have 6 total; 3 for each).
  • Using the information gleaned from all of your articles you will write a paper containing each of the following:
    • Introduction to the topic. Address the “so what”? Why should the reader care about the possible relationship between these variables? Also include your research question in this opening.
    • What do we know about the topic? Using your articles, provide a 3-5 paragraph body of your paper telling the reader what “we” know about the topic (from the articles) and what still needs to be looked at- and HOW your research question will help to address this gap.
    • Explain the potential relationship from a theoretical lens. Pick ONE theory that you learned about during this class and use it to apply and explain how this theory can be used to understand the crime or criminal behavior. Be sure that you set the foundation of the theory FIRST, and then apply it.
    • Conclusion/Policy/Future Research. Write a strong conclusion wrapping up the information obtained from the literature, the theoretical application of the theory to the topic and then suggest one policy that you think would help to address the issue. Suggest one area that should be researched further in regards to your topic and WHY and support the why with academic sources (this may be from your articles). In other words, you are telling the reader what gap still exists and is worthy of further research.
