The essay needs to be structured: providing a solid introduction, setting out<\/span><\/span>
what you will do, the essay also needs a main body, followed by a clear<\/span><\/span>
conclusion and bibliography.<\/span><\/span>
\uf0b7<\/span><\/span> <\/span>Avoid looking at both US and UK, pick one.<\/span><\/span>
\uf0b7<\/span><\/span> <\/span>Do not use subheadings, instead you need to use signposting\/transition<\/span><\/span>
techniques to guide the reader through your work (visit:<\/span><\/span>
Skills@library\/previous study skills tutorial s to assist you)<\/span><\/span>
\uf0b7<\/span><\/span> <\/span>The essay should not include: ‘I’, \u2018me\u2019, \u2018my\u2019 or ‘we’ – you need to write in third<\/span><\/span>
person narrative<\/span><\/span>
\uf0b7<\/span><\/span> <\/span>An academic style of writing must be adopted \u2013 written in sentences and<\/span><\/span>
using paragraphs.<\/span><\/span>
\uf0b7<\/span><\/span> <\/span>You need to use capital letters for Black, White, etc.<\/span><\/span>
\uf0b7<\/span><\/span> <\/span>You need to reference the claims you make.<\/span><\/span>
\uf0b7<\/span><\/span> <\/span>You can use the core reading material \u2013 but this is<\/span><\/span> <\/span>not<\/span><\/span> <\/span>compulsory.<\/span><\/span>
\uf0b7<\/span><\/span> <\/span>You can use the readings in the \u2018Additional readings folder but this is<\/span><\/span> <\/span>not<\/span><\/span><\/span>
compulsory.<\/span><\/span>
\uf0b7<\/span><\/span> <\/span>You can use other readings and sources that you have found independently<\/span><\/span>
\uf0b7<\/span><\/span> <\/span>If you refer to TV programmes etc ensure you cite these correctly and<\/span><\/span>
reference these in your bibliography<\/span><\/span>
\uf0b7<\/span><\/span> <\/span>If you use newspaper articles, please make sure you cite these properly.<\/span><\/span>
\uf0b7<\/span><\/span> <\/span>You must ensure you are using more than 7 sources<\/span><\/span> <\/span>and are providing these<\/span><\/span>
in your bibliography<\/span><\/span>
\uf0b7<\/span><\/span> <\/span>You should not be referencing the lectures, nor teaching staff<\/span><\/span>
\uf0b7<\/span><\/span> <\/span>Check that you are drawing on credible sources \u2013 no Wikipedia or similar or<\/span><\/span>
sites like UK Essays<\/span><\/span>
\uf0b7<\/span><\/span> <\/span>Proof read and check your referencing, prior to submission!<\/span><\/span>
\uf0b7<\/span><\/span> <\/span>Listen to the lectures, look at the tutorial preparation questions \u2013 what did we<\/span><\/span>
discuss?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>Theoretical and context:<\/span><\/span>
This is an academic essay; you need to engage with academic sources and provide<\/span><\/span>
examples and sources to evidence your answer.<\/span><\/span>
To prepare to begin writing a response to this essay question, revisit the lectures and<\/span><\/span><\/span>
the tutorial preparation questions. You can take notes from the Core readings and<\/span><\/span>
use the resources in the \u2018additional learning resources\u2019 folder.<\/span><\/span>
Following the introduction, you need to think how best to structure your line of<\/span><\/span>
argument logically so your line of argument it clear, develops and flows throughout.<\/span><\/span>
You should not incorporate everything from the slides \u2013 be selective \u2013 remember you<\/span><\/span><\/span>
need to discuss the academic viewpoints and not just merely present them.<\/span><\/span>
More Specifically:<\/span><\/span>
Unit 4.1 & 4.2 are directly related to this topic. Be selective on what you put in<\/span><\/span>
your essay.<\/span><\/span>
You need to focus on 2 main theories and discuss them<\/span><\/span>
These two theories could include the following combinations: –<\/span><\/span>
\uf0b7<\/span><\/span> <\/span>Stuart Hall (Policing the Crisis) & Labelling Theory<\/span><\/span>
\uf0b7<\/span><\/span> <\/span>W B Du Bois & Stuart Hall<\/span><\/span> <\/span>(Policing the Crisis)<\/span><\/span>
\uf0b7<\/span><\/span> <\/span>Stuart Hall (Policing the Crisis) & Skolnick\u2019s canteen culture<\/span><\/span>
\uf0b7<\/span><\/span> <\/span>Chicago School & Shaw & Mackay<\/span><\/span>
You can refer to the other theories as well but not in detail<\/span><\/span>
You should bring in biological debates briefly as you can say there is more evidence<\/span><\/span>
of social factors affecting criminal behaviour than those biological.<\/span><\/span>
Use statistics which are in Unit 2.2<\/span><\/span>
Keep the question in mind throughout your writing, and you could possibly<\/span><\/span>
refer back to the questions a few times in your argument.<\/span><\/span>
*Remember, you have a 3000 wordcount, you cannot discuss everything \u2013<\/span><\/span>
if you attempt to do \u2018too much\u2019, your essay will be overly descriptive. Plan<\/span><\/span>
and focus your response to the essay question.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
