Course Spanning Task (CST) – Utilize the PACS APA Template with headings for both 10 page papers (the book report and the CST) in this course. You can locate and download the proper template on the course home page from the APA link. The Course Spanning Task is Due by the end of Unit 4. The course spanning task is to write a 10 page paper, plus the cover and reference page/s, on the five articles from the 1996 Journal of the Oklahoma Criminal Justice Research Consortium (OCJRC), authored by Clear, Hagan, Taylor, Moore, Watts and Nightingale, collectively entitled Unintended consequences of incarceration, courtesy of the VERA Institute of Justice, NYC, NY, and the Oklahoma Department of Corrections. The expectation is that you blend/meld the articles together so that the reader can follow the logic that generated them in the first place and where the articles intended to go/the sense they intended to achieve. Each article is written from a slightly different perspective—criminal justice, criminology, sociology, economics, etc., but with a central, overarching theme. Be sure to tell the reader what that is. A high-quality paper will include additional scholarly peer-reviewed sources for an interdisciplinary perspective. Cite them and any other sources used in proper APA citation format in a reference page at the end of the paper. You will need to cite them in-text using the author’s name and page number of the article, as they appear in the Journal, such as. (Clear, 1996, p. 2) or (Watts & Nightingale, 1996, pp. 8-10). The links are found below. The assignment is for a 10 page paper, not nine pages and not eleven pages (the cover and reference page/s do not count as part of the 10 pages of content). It is the writer’s skill to say what needs to be said in the space allotted. Accomplishing this requires numerous proof-readings and a lot of polishing.
