Effectiveness of Capital Punishment to Deter Crime Argumentative Essay

Conduct an issue review for your selected topic (Is capital punishment an effective method to deter crime?) for your project. Present a brief report of your research on both sides of the issue. This should include the following:

• Citation of your sources
• Links to the sources where available
• Brief description of the content of each of the sources (50 to 80 words for each source)

Your research review should address at least three (3) aspects of the issue that is the subject of your paper and must present at least one pro and one con article review on each aspect. Sources should be scholarly or of very high substantive quality.

Click on the following link to view an example. The first aspect is written out completely, with APA citation and brief description of content. The next two aspects should be completely written out by you in your report, including correct APA citation and brief description of content.

Because the topics vary widely, the nature of your research will also vary. If you are writing about gene therapy, for example, you will have to support your points with scholarly medical opinion. You may need to review researching techniques. Visit the research links provided in the Required Resources section in this activity for more information.

Next you will submit a thesis statement and an annotated bibliography with evaluation of at least five (5) sources you intend to use in your final paper to support your claim.

These are sources that provide evidence to support that the reader should accept your claim. Scholarly sources are preferred and should be used where available; due to the nature of some of the topics, authoritative articles in very high-quality substantive journals may also be acceptable.

Use the Source Evaluation Worksheet to submit the annotated bibliography. Prepare a citation, annotation, and evaluation for each source.

Be sure your essay contains the following:

• An opening paragraph that states a clear thesis that is focused, plausible, and arguable and that gives direction and purpose to the paper
• A fair-minded, balanced, and objective development of the pros and cons of the issue in a well-organised sequence of ideas, free of mechanical errors
• Credible, reliable, and authoritative evidence in support of the points made
• A strong conclusion that summarises your views, reminds the audience of the issue and its importance, and shows in brief that you have successfully defended your thesis

Note

As you do your research, it is permissible to change your sources. Also, because of the recency and relevance of these issues, no sources older than 5 years should be used other than as historical information. Critical thinkers do the research first and then side with the preponderance of evidence. You might want to follow that principle.
