¶ … powerful abstract, rendered creatively by being written in the second person. Using second person engages the reader and encourages the reader to consider the deeper issues that are about to be addressed in the research. The author succinctly captures the issues related to reintegrating sex offenders into communities in safe and humane way, focusing on the case study in Miami-Dade County. Therefore, the abstract is ideal and goes beyond the typical abstract that dryly summarizes key findings and methodologies. As with the rest of the paper, the opening sections are well written and there are no grammatical or stylistic problems.
The introduction of the paper is brief and to the point, citing statistics that ground the argument in factual evidence. For example, the author mentions the number of registered sex offenders living in the United States and uses statistics from a credible organization. The author also shows how the law varies from state to state. After the brief introduction, the author offers a background section, which is helpful in understanding the specific laws. It would have been extra beneficial if the author had mentioned whether these laws pertained only to the state of Florida or not, but other...
Also in the background section, the author mentions the specific adverse impact of the sex offender registration laws. Using citations and quotes helps to show that the material is not just the author's opinions but is actually substantiated by scholarly evidence.
The section on Florida sex offenders directly applies to the issue of sex offenders living in Florida. One of the most interesting facts is related to the Lauren Book Child Safety Ordinance, which prevents registered sex offenders from living within 2500 feet of a school. The problem with this law is the liberal definition of "school," leading to almost any business being potentially designated as a "school" and creating a NIMBY effect. If it were applied nationwide, this law would mean that sex offenders would essentially not be able to live anywhere. As a result of this and similar laws, registered sex offenders are homeless even when they have viable jobs and could otherwise afford housing. Between Miami and Miami Beach, there are hundreds of homeless sex offenders living under the Julia Tuttle Causeway and number in the hundreds. The author is clearly making…
references to psychological literature that detailed the brains of sex offenders or some evidence-based information on whether or not sex offenders can be rehabilitated and if so, how that is possible. Another thing that would improve this paper would be for the author to make suggestions for changes to the public policy and how to shift the approach in dealing with sex offenders. However, as the descriptive visual analysis of what is going on in Miami-Dade County, this is an excellent paper that has broader applications to the rest of the country.
The personal impact of violent scenes is important and is one of the main reasons for which films are made, to create an impression and an impact on the human mind. So, the argument is rather well placed. At the same time though, I think it would have been even more compelling if there would have been some references made to studies conducted in this area such as psychological
Introduction Despite major medical advancements over several decades, nearly 10 percent of births in the US continue to occur prematurely each year (Martin, Hamilton, Osterman, Driscoll, & Matthews, 2017). Creating a significant socioeconomic burden, preterm birth is one of the leading causes of infant morbidity and mortality in the United States resulting in approximately $16.9 billion in medical care costs annually (Institute of Medicine [IOM], 2007). After days, weeks, or even
Scholars must use reliable information to build new conclusions and arguments of their own. If the information they use to build an argument is in any way flawed or unreliable, their entire conclusion can thus be in jeopardy. As such, one way to ensure that the information a scholar compiles is valid enough is to use peer reviewed articles from reliable academic journals. Peer reviewed articles have the their
Treatment of Domestic and Industrial Wastewater Using Algae Strains: Critical Analysis and Review Wastewater comprises of liquid or water carried wastes coming from sanitary conveniences of residences, commercial or industrial buildings and facilities; in addition, to other ground water, surface water, and storm water if present. Untreated water has high levels of organic material, pathogenic organisms, nutrients and many toxic elements. Therefore, this type of wastewater poses as an environmental and
Assessing Research and Peer-Reviewed WorkIntroductionPeer-review is an important process in academic and research spaces that ensures the accuracy and validity of information being published. It is a process in which a group of experts, known as peers, review the work of authors before it is published. This process provides critiques and feedback from qualified academics and professionals, which can help to improve the quality of the work. In order to
However, by using peer-reviewed journals, there is a far greater likelihood that the information will have value. References Moolenaar, D.E., & G. (2009).
