Application: Creating an Annotated Bibliography
Annotated bibliographies are an effective tool used in the research of a particular topic or issue related to crime, criminals, or the criminal justice system in general. Creating an annotated bibliography forces you to read widely on a topic and begin to evaluate the quality of the research you are sifting through. While time consuming, a high-quality annotated bibliography can cut back on the amount of total time needed to write a report or article. It can also significantly improve the quality of the report or article. One of the key ways to create a high-quality annotated bibliography is through practice and repetition.
For this Assignment, examine the main steps needed to create an annotated bibliography and the type of material that should be included. You must review Chapter 10 of your course text and the Walden University Library resources. Then select a criminal justice topic to use for this assignment. Finally, select five peer-reviewed resources that pertain to that criminal justice topic.
