Annotated Bibliography

the annotated bibliographies have be five articles on the same topic within corrections.

  • student shall locate and read five (5) peer-reviewed journal articles from the TAMUCT online library databases, related to three general topic: corrections.

  • The topics of law enforcement are very broad – the student should identify a more specific area within each general topic and make that the focus for the annotated bibliography. I am including some examples below – these are just a few of the many areas the student could focus on
  • Corrections (e.g., institutional, community (probation/parole), offenders, facilities)
  • o Inappropriate relationships between inmates and COs o Probation/parole officer discretion o Inmates with mental health o Reintegration of offenders
  • Once the student has read the articles, he/she will summarize them, succinctly, in one page each (no more than one page, no less than ¾ of a page). Thus, each annotated bibliography should not exceed 5 pages. The student will not receive credit for articles that are not peer-reviewed. These are to be summaries, not critiques of the articles.
