Using a minimum of six new peer reviewed, scholarly journal sources, conduct a literature review on your policy and related issues. A literature review provides your reader with an overview of any research (**this means scholarly work) that has been done on your topic already. You are not limited to studies specifically connected to your policy you should also consider related issues. For example, if you are researching the Amber Alert, you should look at studies related to child abduction and kidnapping in addition to looking at works specifically focused on the policy. The ultimate goal of a literature review is to tell your reader what we (the discipline of criminal justice) already know about the topic at hand, with the assumption that they dont know anything about your policy/issue. A literature review should not review the research source by source, rather you should identify themes, integrate and synthesize your sources into an essay. This section of your paper must be at least 5 pages long, double-spaced, 12-point Times New Roman font. Proper in-text and bibliographic citation (APA style) is absolutely required. You must provide a bibliography which includes all nine of your sources from section #1 and section #2.
You should use 6 of the 9 peer review sources from your annotated bib (as long as they were approved at the time) that you did not use in section #1. You may always find more peer reviewed sources if you need them.
**Note: the policy description and literature review is not a place for analysis. It is, simply, a description. Any issues/problems you see with the policy should be reserved for assignment #3.
