CRMJ 415 Course Project
Deviance Literature Review
Comprehensive Guidelines
Objectives. This three-part project will give you an opportunity to experience the beginning of
a research study by conducting a literature review of a deviance topic of your choice. The
purpose of a literature review is to inform the researcher about what the state of theory
development is with respect to his or her target study topic. This knowledge then becomes the
basis for constructing a research methodology. The project is foundational to understanding
how theory is formulated and relates directly to the first three terminal course objectives. The
topic that you choose will relate to at least one additional terminal course objective.
A literature review is a form of secondary research in which one reviews and analyzes data that
come from intellectual work previously done by others in the chosen topic area. Sources of
data include articles in peer reviewed scholarly journals, court decisions, statutes, personal
narratives, government review articles, professional publications(frequently referred to as
trade journals) in a related field of practice, newspaper articles in reputable national daily
newspapers, book chapters from academic sources and Internet articles from professionally
credible organizations. Learning to conduct and write up a good literature review is a valuable
academic skill.
Guidelines. Your course project is processed in three parts in Weeks 1, 2 and 6. These weeks
are the three milestones. Always submit the required work through the drop boxes for the
specified weeks. Look for detailed instructions in the Assignment section of the specified weeks
and also in Doc Sharing for a copy of the comprehensive guidelines.
