- REQUIRED TEXTBOOK:
Anderson, Tammy L. (ed.). 2014. Understanding Deviance: Connecting Classical and Contemporary Perspectives. New York: Routledge
FORMAT REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY:
- The 7th edition of the American Psychological Association (APA) Style
2a. Be sure to provide the complete bibliographic citation in the 7th edition APA format, including the DOI information where appropriate. Many of you have not paid attention to my comments in your assignments throughout the semester and therefore have not mastered the APA format for in-text citations or references. It is my sincere hope that you pay attention to this information now because annotated bibliographies not completed in this format will not receive a successful score.
b. For each entry (total of 10), include a 2-3 paragraph summary of the entrys main points and/or your overall evaluation of the entry. The summary should be in your own words and not simply copied from the entry or some other source; each citation summary should be written in complete sentences.
c. ALL bibliographic entries should be from scholarly journals or book chapters (either online or hard copy) and must be written following the 7th edition APA format. Two of the 10 entries may be taken from your textbook (one reading each from Sections 11 and 12 ONLY). NO WIKIPEDIA references at all. It is recommended that you consult electronic resources such as JSTOR, Google Scholar, and Google Books for the remaining eight entries. If an article is behind a pay site, you may still use it without reading the entire complete source. Be sure to include the complete bibliographic citation and use the available abstract for your annotation. Do not copy the Abstract word-for-word: Paraphrase it and put it in your own words.
d. It will be easiest for you to research and choose your entries via electronic searches, but you may also search hard copy sources in a library. I do not need nor want hard copy articles of your sources, but you must supply complete bibliographic citations per a and b above.
e. The 10 entries should generally cover specific theories/types of deviance (i.e., the general subject area of the course). You should not turn in 10 citations on a single theory or type of deviance; with flexibility, you can draw from a variety of behaviors/theories. There may be some repetition of content in your choices of sources to annotate, but the purpose is to thoroughly familiarize yourself with the information in the process of answering the weekly discussion questions. It is recommended that you search for articles while reading each chapter week-by-week and choose references that will add to your knowledge of the theories and aid in answering the discussion questions.
f. The entries should be organized as a list alphabetized by the authors last name per APA Style. The title should read ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF DEVIANT BEHAVIOR. This annotated bibliography should be typed (double-spaced, one-inch margins all around) and submitted to me via Canvas no later than Monday, APRIL 27 by 11:59 p.m. (i.e., at midnight on Monday, April 27, 2026).
g. The Annotated Bibliography should be an original composition, not recycled from another class. Additionally, chapters from the textbook should NOT be used as references in the bibliography. If you have any questions, PLEASE CONTACT ME.
h. Any sources you include must be credible academic, scholarly references. Wikipedia and course hero are unacceptable and prohibited.
3. The announcement section has additional information regarding the annotated bibliography as well as sample annotated bibliographies.
