What is Process Essays (Examples)?

A process essay is fundamentally different from other types of academic writing assignments. In fact, it is closer to technical writing than to other types of academic writing. That is because a process essay describes a process that leads to a specific outcome. There are two approaches to the process essay. The first approach is often referred to as a directional process essay and is the simpler of the two approaches; it describes the steps necessary to complete a task. The second approach to the process essay does more than outline steps, it also analyzes or explains the steps involved in the process. The wording of your assignment will be important when you are trying to determine which approach to take while writing your process essay.

The introduction of your process essay needs to accomplish several things. First, it needs to introduce the process you are going to describe, and give background information about that process, when such information is necessary. Next, it needs to identify your audience. Identifying your audience does not require actually saying the targeted audience for your essay, but, if your reader needs a certain educational, technical, or professional background to understand the essay, then the introduction provides a great opportunity for you to provide that material.

The body of the essay involves your actual descriptions of the process. For simple directional process essays, the body of the essay involves a step-by-step description of each part of the process. For analytical process essays, in addition to outlining the steps you might explain them to the reader or analyze whether the steps are necessary to the process and make the process more efficient, or should be eliminated or changed in order to maximize efficiency and performance.

Finally, the conclusion of your essay will reiterate what you hope to achieve with the process described in the essay. If you have analyzed the process and found it lacking, the conclusion may also describe suggestions for further study or review.

Broken windows theory and law enforcement effectiveness

The work Wilson and Kelling published regarding their "Broken Windows" theory was largely premised on the research of Stanford University psychologist Philip Zimbardo. Working to test the theory of deindividuation, which described a proposed "process in which a series of antecedent social conditions lead to a change in perception of self and others, and thereby to a lowered threshold of normally restrained behavior" (1969), Zimbardo designed a number of ingenious experiments in the late 1960's that ultimately provided the foundations for Wilson and Kelling's eventual interpretation of the "Broken Window" phenomenon. By placing an identical pair of 1959 Oldsmobile autos on two distinctly different streets, one adjacent to the Bronx campus of New York University in an area where crime rates and gang activity were high, and the other on a street in Palo Alto, California near the affluent area surrounding the Stanford University campus, Zimbardo tested the effects of environmental cues on the willingness of individuals to commit an increasingly serious series of criminal act. Although in both cases the cars had left with no license plates and their hoods up, to provide what Zimbardo terms "releaser cues" that signal societal apathy, the behavior observed in Palo Alto, where manicured lawns adorned suburban strip malls and upper-class neighborhoods, was decidedly different than the scene in the Bronx.
