Miscellaneous Instructions & Reflections

• You are not required to include a cover page.
• You are not required to provide an introduction and conclusion.
• You are required to utilize the sub-headings included.
• Every sub-heading should be supported by at least 1 citation, probably more.
• This is not an opinion essay nor should it be written in the first person. Do not write, “I think”, “I feel”, “In my opinion”, etc.
• Remember to write with an ‘academic voice’.
• Remember that when you write an academic paper, you are supposed to have the mental outlook that the reader may not be well versed in the subject. So for instance, under the first sub-heading, you should still be defining a criminologist (for instance), even though the reader (Walling) knows what this subject is about.
