Research paper

Research Paper: The research paper assignment includes a proposal, annotated bibliography, abstract, the paper itself, and a final presentation, split over the course of several weeks.

Write a well-supported 6-8 page research paper in which you create your own definition of justice (individual, societal, and/or legal), or argue how another person’s/institution’s/law’s definition of justice could be construed as effective, ineffective, flawed, productive, backwards, or any other adjectives you wish to discuss.

Apply your definition to a specific example(s) of disenfranchisement from the following list:

wrongful imprisonment/execution/sentencing of a person
critique/support of a law or practice in use today
an instance of the miscarriage of justice (where someone “gets away with it”)
stigmatization of a group of people
any other topic that you propose related to the themes of our class
Use any of the readings from class (minimum of 1) and outside sources from the library database (minimum of 2) to help create your definition. How does it differ from existing and historical definitions? If it is relatively similar, why are the existing laws in place more effective? How would your definition benefit the disenfranchised example you chose to discuss?

See attached for the annotated bibliography for the sources as well as what direction I started this paper in. thanks
