Paper For Above instruction
This assignment requires selecting a current peer-reviewed scholarly journal article related to crimes against persons, specifically focusing on assault, sex offenses, and other personal crimes, or related property and computer crimes. The chosen article must have been published within the last five years to ensure the information reflects current research and legal developments. After selecting the article, the student must summarize its content, emphasizing its relevance to contemporary criminal law issues, and explain why it is significant for understanding current criminal justice practices.
To fulfill the assignment, the student should conduct a thorough search using online library resources, such as academic databases like JSTOR, ProQuest, or Google Scholar, ensuring the article is peer-reviewed and recent. The initial post should be approximately 275 words, clearly articulating the article’s main points, its relevance to current criminal law topics, and any insights gained regarding recent trends or issues within the field. The post must include at least four scholarly sources, with one being a peer-reviewed article published within the last seven years, to support the discussion points and situate the article within broader academic conversations about crimes against persons.
This assignment aims to deepen understanding of current issues in criminal law concerning assault, sex offenses, and related crimes, aligning with the content from "Criminal Law Today" by Schmalleger and Hall. By engaging with recent scholarly literature, students develop critical insights into ongoing academic debates, legal trends, and policy implications relevant to personal crimes and their prosecution.
