You are required to choose
one
topic from weeks 5-7 and to develop an annotated bibliography of FIVE articles/chapters relevant to your chosen topic (**keep in mind your final piece of assessment must be on a different topic). These should come from a range of academic sources (books, journal articles).
You are not to use required readings from within the unit for this task. You must conduct research to locate additional relevant sources.

o A 150-200 word descriptive analysis of the
content summary that details what is
covered in the article
o A 150-200 word
synthesis of the key argument/critique
the article
Each entry must include:
o At least 1
direct quotation
(suitably referenced)
o At least 1 concept
paraphrased
from the original source (suitably referenced)
Assessment task 2: Annotated Bibliography Title: Annotated Bibliography Word limit: 2000 words (excluding references) Weighting/Value (%): 40% Presentation requirements: 12 point font; MLA/ Harvard citation and referencing, Word document. Details of task: You are required to choose one topic from weeks 5-7 and to develop an annotated bibliography of FIVE articles/chapters relevant to your chosen topic (**keep in mind your final piece of assessment must be on a different topic).

You must conduct research to locate additional relevant sources. For each of the five entries you must provide: · Full bibliographical details in accordance with the MLA/ Harvard referencing system · A 150-200 word descriptive analysis of the content summary that details what is covered in the article · A 150-200 word synthesis of the key argument/critique the article Each entry must include: · At least 1 direct quotation (suitably referenced) · At least 1 concept paraphrased from the original source (suitably referenced) For useful information about annotated bibliographies, please work through this library overview: https://www.monash.edu/rlo/research-writing-assignments/assignment-types/annotated-bibliography. Please note as the library overview explains, an annotated bibliography can be many different things, a tool to support your reading where the focus is summarising, or a more analytical tool where you synthesise arguments. This task is designed specifically for this Unit, so follow the instructions clearly. Learning objectives assessed: · Synthesis an interdisciplinary approach to the analysis of global crime and justice issues; · Focus upon the production of scholarly research as the end point of a process of reading, discussion, drafting and debate; · Work independently as scholars, and to give and receive constructive, critical feedback.

Grade: Comments: ATS3462 – Assignment 2 Administrative Q: Is it true that the topic we choose for this assignment has to be different from the next assignment? A: Yes, the topic that you select for Assignment 2 has to be different from Assignment 3. This is clearly outlined in both assessment descriptions. Please take note of this. Q: Is the 7-days extension automatically applied? A: Yes, similar to Assignment 1, students have an automatic 7-days extension. If you require more time than that, please contact Arts Students Services for support and to apply for Special Consideration. Selection of sources Q: Can we use suggested readings? A: Yes, students can use readings from the suggested readings list, but not from the required reading list. Q: When referencing a book chapter that is not from an edited book, should we just reference the book or is it sufficient to just reference the book chapter? A: Taking apart a chapter can be difficult when it is a monograph (a book by a single author/s). This is not the case for an edited collection, as each chapter is a stand-alone piece with individual author/s. But in the case of a monograph, generally annotated bibliographies/notes would capture a whole book, and choosing one chapter runs the risk of missing the larger argument of the text (e.g. with the two books referred to in the seminar, they have an argument that is developed through the whole book). In short, if you want to include a book, it is the whole book. And to be very clear, a book is not an edited collection where all the chapters have separate authors. Q: Are we able to use sources that are over 10 years old? A: It depends on the publication - i.e. if it is one that is frequently mentioned even in other recent publications and/or is well-cited piece (check via Google Scholar). Older work can definitely be useful to go back to, especially in a high-quality journal and work that is consistently cited in current research. Q: What is a paraphrase? A: It is an alternative to direct quotations, and basically restating another’s idea in your own words. Content-related Q: What is Part 1 and Part 2 of the assignment? How does Part 1 differ from Part 2? Is Part 1 just a summary of the overall contention, and Part 2 goes into the nitty gritty? A: Part 1 of the assignment requires you to provide a content summary that introduces to the reader what is covered in the publication (e.g. what is the objective of the article? What is the theoretical framework? Is it based on empirical research? Where is the research conducted? Etc.) Part 2 of the assignment requires you to present a synthesis of the key arguments and/or critiques in the article (e.g. analysing and synthesising the key arguments presented by the author(s)). This is a guide, to break the task down, you do not need to use headings, it just helps to structure the response. Q: Do we need to critique the arguments? Do we have to elaborate on critiques in the article? And try to apply it to other events? A: No. The objective of this assignment is not to present a critique of, or elaborate on the arguments, but to write a synthesis of the key issues and critiques presented in the selected
