CRMJ 2000 Spring 2024: INTRODUCTION TO CRIMINAL JUSTICE STUDIES FINAL  EXAM 

Instructions: 

You will be graded on your performance on one (1) essay and two (2) short-answer questions.  

Your answers should be typed, double-spaced, times new roman, 12-font, and standard margins.  Please use MS Word and include all your answers on one document. You should upload your  answers through Dropbox no later than 11:59PM, April 30, 2024. Please put your name on your  exam. You will not be docked points for a few typos, grammatical errors, etc., but if the  structure of your answer is poor, or your answer is full of typos and errors (to a point that it takes  away from its substance), then you will lose points. 

Please organize your essay with an introduction, body, and conclusion. You MUST use the APA  Format, CORRECTLY. There are many examples of proper use of APA on eLearn course page,  the TSU Library web page and particularly on Purdue University’s Online Writing Lab (OWL) 

https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/ind ex.html 

Make sure that you address ALL components of the essay. Your responses, particularly in the  essay, must be well thought-out and critical/analytical. Phrases such as, “for example,”  “specifically,” “in other words,” “furthermore” are promising—they indicate that you are being  clear, specific, explaining yourself, etc. You are expected to draw on at least some material from  outside the course material and you must cite the material and provide a reference page. If you  refer to your course text or an essay or something from class, you do not have to formally cite it.  You should assume an audience that knows nothing about the Criminal Justice System and the  topics you are discussing will be reading your response. 

You should e-mail me with any questions you have. This exam is supposed to reflect your own  personal journey, so please do not discuss the exam with anyone. No late exams will be  accepted. No excuses will be accepted. Period! If you are worried about having internet issues or  your computer crashing, use a lab on campus or start and complete well ahead of the deadline. 

Good luck!
