Question description

PAPER MUST BE 2-3 PAGES IN LENGTH (DO NOT GO BY WORD COUNT) 12 POINT FONT, DOUBLE SPACED, INCLUDE SUBHEADING BETWEEN SECTIONS. PROPER APA FORMAT THROUGHOUT THE PAPER. Use references provided below.

Throughout the years, there has been ongoing debate in the popular press and the general public related to reasons juveniles to engage in crime. Engaging in violent crimes may have short- and long-term effects on the social, emotional, educational, and career prospects of juveniles. In an effort to mitigate these effects, many rehabilitative services have been developed to help juvenile offenders, some of which are more effective than others.

For this Assignment, think about risk factors and influences on juvenile engagement in crime. Consider the effectiveness of rehabilitation services for juveniles who engage in violent crimes.

The Assignment (2–3 pages):

  • Explain three reasons juveniles may engage in violent crimes.
  • Explain possible short-term effects on juvenile offenders who engage in violent crimes.
  • Explain possible long-term effects on juvenile offenders who engage in violent crimes.
  • Describe two rehabilitative services provided by the juvenile justice system.
  • Explain whether or not each of these rehabilitative services is effective. Justify your response with references to the literature and the Learning Resources.

Evidence of academically mature insight and use of critical thinking skills in analyzing and relating the articles

/in /by

Question description

For this assignment you will submit a 15 page paper, not including the title and reference pages, on a topic related to one of your classmate’s Article Summaries posted on the Week 2 Forum.

The Literature Review Paper will include brief summaries of the 6 to 8 articles focused on a topic in common retrieved from the APUS Online Library.

The summaries in this paper must be logically connected with clear articulations of how they are related to one another. This must be done via transition statements between descriptions of the various summaries such that the paper interweaves all the articles into a coherent and well-articulated review of scholarly publications related to the selected paper topic focus. For example, after one article summary, the statement, “Related research conducted by Jones (2011) showed that…” would be an effective means of connecting it to another summary. The paper will end with a minimum of two paragraphs summarizing points made and articulating suggestions for future research directions arising from the article reviews. This assignment submission will be evaluated based on:

The degree to which the article summaries are related and truly integrated within the paper; lack of supporting evidence of actual connections between the articles will result in a significant point deduction.

Evidence of academically mature insight and use of critical thinking skills in analyzing and relating the articles.

Clear and thorough articulation of the paper’s key points.

Compliance with APA paper formatting standards.

Minimal to no grammar, spelling or basic writing errors

Literature Review Paper Grading Rubric

The following categories and accompanying percentages of total points possible are used in the assessment of the Literature Review Paper commensurate with expectations for graduate study, advanced level writing.

Key assignment elements and percentage of total points possible:

15 {0e601fc7fe3603dc36f9ca2f49ef4cd268b5950ef1bbcf1f795cc00e94cdd119} – presentation (organization, clarity, readability and flow, adherence to length requirement)

20 {0e601fc7fe3603dc36f9ca2f49ef4cd268b5950ef1bbcf1f795cc00e94cdd119} – relevance (appropriateness of published literature used for completion of this assignment)

20 {0e601fc7fe3603dc36f9ca2f49ef4cd268b5950ef1bbcf1f795cc00e94cdd119} – topic coverage (comprehensiveness, focus, depth and breadth)

20 {0e601fc7fe3603dc36f9ca2f49ef4cd268b5950ef1bbcf1f795cc00e94cdd119} – maturity of insight (evidence of analysis and synthesis of and summary conclusions based on information from peer-reviewed articles)

** 10 {0e601fc7fe3603dc36f9ca2f49ef4cd268b5950ef1bbcf1f795cc00e94cdd119} – sources (required number of sources, correctly placed in paper body and References list; no use of dictionaries, blogs, new media, encyclopedias or commercial web sources used).

5 {0e601fc7fe3603dc36f9ca2f49ef4cd268b5950ef1bbcf1f795cc00e94cdd119} – APA formatting (paper formatting in compliance with the rules of the American Psychological Association)

10 {0e601fc7fe3603dc36f9ca2f49ef4cd268b5950ef1bbcf1f795cc00e94cdd119} – mechanics (spelling, grammar, sentence structure)

* The percentages above are for full instructions compliance. Your professor has expertise in evaluating the degree to which your writing work is in compliance with the assignment requirements and will assign and deduct full or partial point percentages for each category accordingly.

** Submitting a paper without correctly credited sources places you in danger of your work deemed plagiarized. Some students are surprised to learn that a submission with source credits named in the paper body and/or in the References list that must be attached to the end may still be a plagiarized paper if correct quoting isn’t done or the content of publications isn’t correctly paraphrased followed by source citations in immediate proximity of the paraphrasing in the paper body. The consequences of plagiarism are quite negative, with an automatic zero assignment score for the first instance and a failing course grade for the second, with no option for revision or extra credit to recoup lost points in either case, and thus having a paper identified as plagiarized isn’t something you want to risk. It is expected that via completion of an undergraduate degree, graduate students are in possession of knowledge of what constitutes plagiarism If you are in doubt about whether any portion of your paper could be considered as plagiarized

the process of memory

/in /by

Question description

You probably have noticed in your educational career that some people are very good at remembering facts and therefore, do well at tests that require memorization. Other students, on the other hand, struggle with tests that require memorization. To understand how memory works, this exercise will ask you to trace the memory system from the stimuli to long-term memory.

Use your textbook and research from the Internet to learn the process of memory, from beginning to end. Your description should include the following:

  • Identification and description of each step in the human memory model; as you describe these steps, use an example to illustrate the process
  • Discussion of factors that enhance or impede information flow in each step of the process
  • Explanation of proactive and retroactive interference and how you might counteract their effects while studying to facilitate maximum retention via long-term memory
  • Explanation of other kinds of forgetting and a discussion of strategies that can improve memory consolidation and retrieval

Submit this in a paper of 2–3 pages. You can use illustrations to demonstrate the process. Be sure to document your references using APA format.

Please use the following guidelines for formatting your assignment:

  • Margins: Set to one inch
  • Font: 12pt.-Times New Roman, no bold, no underline
  • Title: Centered above the paper, 12 pt.-font (Level A Heading), no bold, no underline, no italics
  • Pagination: Every page; consists of a header containing a short title for the paper and a page number placed in the upper right corner of the page
  • Line Spacing: Double space all work, including the References page
  • Point-of-View: Third person, objective; limit perspective to research; no personal opinion or narrative; first person is allowed in describing the test and results, as well as discussing personal ways to enhance EI
  • In-text citations: Must conform to APA requirements
  • References list: Must conform to APA requirements
