– All criminological issues have a theoretical basis. You must use theory in all initial submissions. No direct quotes can be used in any initial post or paper submission without prior approval of the professor. Any direct quotes used without prior permission and or without perfect citation will result in a zero. You may use direct quotes at your discretion in responding to other students.
All assignments must have substantial supporting scholarly references. All scholarly references must be used as evidence in lieu of or in addition to a descriptive purpose. For example, Thompson (2015) reported drugged driving is a public safety problem. This does not provide evidence. It is a vague statement that everyone already knows. Thompson (2015) reported drugged drivers were three times more likely to be involved in a crash than alcohol impaired drivers. This is evidence.
