Your outline should be 1-2 pages in length and should describe in short sentences the flow of your paper. It should list the steps in order of how you are going to present your paper. You should have 3-5 general headings with 2-3 sub-headings under each general heading. See Purdue University Online Writing Lab (OWL) for tips on preparing an effective outline. The topic for the scandal paper needed to create this OUTLINE is below. Just to clarify, I only need the 1-2 page outline right now, the actual paper is due 4 weeks from now. I will submit that assignment when it comes due. I ONLY NEED THE OUTLINE.

You should have the following sections included in your outline:

Introduction

• A clear “purpose statement”
• Introductory sentence that explicitly explains what the paper is about – the main points of analysis.
• A quick overview of the points of analysis

Analysis (Body)

• Summary of law enforcement scandal
• Identify the major players in the scandal
• Two ways the scandal affected law enforcements’ relationship with the community
• How the use of police discretion contributed the scandal
• Changes that were made in the department because of the scandal

Conclusion

• At least one or two concise sentences of the analysis

***Remember that you should have all the words spelled correctly, use proper grammar, follow APA guidelines and make it interesting. Please see the rubric attached in this posting.

The following is the topic for the outline. The full research paper is due in 4 weeks, and I ONLY NEED the OUTLINE right now:

Submit a 6-8 page research addressing a recent police department scandal. It is expected that at least three outside sources in addition to the textbook will be utilized. Some good examples would be the Rampart Scandal, Boston Police cocaine trafficking or the Bay Area Sex Scandal. You must have a title and reference pages which do not count toward the 6-8 page requirement. You will need to address the following:

1. A summary of the incident
2. Identify the major players involved in the scandal
3. Provide at least two ways the scandal affected law enforcement’s relationship with the community
4. Explain how the use of police discretion contributed the scandal
5. Identify the changes that were made in the department because of the scandal

Make sure to incorporate any feedback you received on your Week 3 Law Enforcement Scandal Paper Outline.

The paper will be typed double spaced in Arial using 12-point font with 1” margins in APA format.
