Journal Assignment

Each of your answers should be written using your own words. Do not copy and paste from your textbook or an Internet source. Simply copying from the book word-for-word does not show me that you understand the concepts. Ensure you cite your work and add reference(s) at the end of your journal. This assignment is designed to see if you are reading and understanding the material from your textbook and learning modules, so these should be the sources you are citing in your work. You should not need to do research from additional resources unless the question specifically asks you to do so; you should not be Googling the answers for these questions.

(Every answer should have an in-text citation that looks like this (Gaines and Miller, 2019).

-The reference citation for your book would go at the end.

**Gaines, L.G., and Miller, R.R. (2019). CJ: Criminal Justice (5th edition). Cengage Learning.)
