In this paper, you should draw from references every time possible. Cite references fully. These references are identifying (for agencies similar to yours) some of their leading major issues/problems (which you may have raised — or which you did not encounter). Your selection of several major and current issues/problems helps me give you credit for knowing some of the literature. My suggestion would be to go to the library and read some research about your agency (e.g., police department) or workers in your agency (e.g., discretionary decision making by police officers). Select recent books and journal articles located in the library which deal with similar clients, services, or the structure of a similar type of agency with which you were involved. Books and academic journal references (as recent as possible) must total AT LEAST 10 – of which at least 10 must be academic journal references. No magazines (i.e. Newsweek), popular literature, or agency materials count as part of the 2.
You will receive more information regarding APA style of writing, such as examples for references on your Black Board (Bb) page.
