The sources DO NOT include web pages, links or news sources, movies, documentaries, law review articles, or personal communication. Also, avoid reports and books for this assignment.

    • Stop & Frisk and Crime (3 peer reviewed sources)
    • Jury Decision Making (3 peer reviewed sources)
    • The impact of Witherspoon v. Illinois (death qualification) on jury decisions (3 peer reviewed sources)
    • The impact of Miranda (3 peer reviewed sources)

Do not simply paste the article abstract into your assignment and use it as your annotation. Each annotation should be a page in length. So, I am expecting full pages that are in Times New Roman size 12pt. font, double spaced, with 1-inch margins.

You should provide:

Please provide a summary of your topic prior to summarizing your articles. 

  • a summary of each article,
  • a discussion of the findings, as well as
  • evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each article for you annotations.
