While it is acceptable to collaborate in generating comprehensive and analytical approaches to your question, you are expected to produce your own written response. All final papers must be completed independently. In evaluating your response primary emphasis will be placed on your critical use and understanding of the course materials, including lectures, required readings, audio visual materials and optionally supplementary readings and discussions. Your lecture notes are your own and should not be cited, unless of course they are directly from the course slides, which must be cited if you use them; however, papers that cite the course slides will be heavily penalized. You should be going to the original sources, your readings. All your notes from the professor discussing the content in class belong to you and should not be cited—as stressed in class that is not correct—it cannot be replicated. Your theories (as exemplified by your readings) and the relevant data and examples (documentaries and research data in the readings) should be the basis of your citations. Written work will be graded for insight, analytical skill, inclusion and organization of relevant course materials (an absolute minimum of 6 articles used substantively from the required readings to be considered for a pass), appropriate citation, clarity of [removed]this includes grammar and spelling), accuracy, and relevance of content (not necessarily in that order of priority). Poorly written papers will be penalized. How well you demonstrate the breadth and depth of your comprehensive and thoughtful understanding and application of your course materials will be highly relevant to your final mark. The finished product is to be typed (times new roman, double spaced – except for single spacing of direct quotations over 3 lines or 1 sentence in length), with standard margins (1” or 2.54 cm), and include appropriate citations and references (works cited). All references to published materials (direct quotes, summations of arguments, paraphrasing, data, and concepts from articles, books, slides and audio visual presentations) must be cited when used. Any recognized citation method may be used as long as it is consistently applied, and includes the author’s last name and page number or numbers (citations must include page numbers unless you are referring to your summary of the entire article, or the author’s main point or method of analysis or research). Use of outside sources is not permitted. Your grade will be heavily influenced by your comprehensive, informed, thoughtful, and judicious use of your class materials; which means, clear demonstration of your understanding and comprehension of the substantive content of your readings, not just arbitrary quotes or summation. For further information on structuring your essays please refer to an appropriate Faculty of Social Sciences Writing and Style Guide for University Papers, and to the detailed slides on writing essays posted on the course web page. Remember to proofread – grammar and spelling do matter, that is the starting point. Your final mark for this exam will be worth 40% of your final grade for the class. Your essay should be approximately 8-10 pages in length, and not exceed 12, double-spaced pages, excluding title page and works cited (no fonts larger than 12 Times New Roman, standard 1” margins). Please remember that you are being graded on the quality of your response, not the quantity; therefore, focus on thoroughly addressing the central question (all secondary questions do flow from the central and first questions so do not have to be addressed individually), and demonstrating your argument with heavy reference to course materials, especially readings. THOUGHTFULLY AND THOROUGHLY RESPOND TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTION USING YOUR COURSE MATERIALS TO DOCUMENT AND DEMONSTRATE YOUR ARGUMENT: 1. How, according to societal reaction theories, do we understand crime and deviance, and their relationship to the rest of human society? How do we make sense using the depictive materials at hand? Describe, explain, and document how we make meaning, how as societal reaction theorists we understand crime, deviance, the interactional order, and the relationship of the interactional order to the structural? Be sure to address your authors’ central analytical concepts as explored this semester in framing your argument. I have attached the sources you MUST ONLY USE!!
