Societal effects of cybercrime on a the elderly (identity theft)
The strength of your paper is assessed in terms of both the logic of your position and how well your points are supported by reference to data and the literature. Again, students are free to use any style or approach with which they are comfortable. For students not knowing how to begin, the five-paragraph essay format is often especially appropriate. In this format, you develop an essay of five paragraphs. The first is an introduction that tells the reader what you will cover and defines key terms. The second through fourth provides support for the position announced in the first, and the last is a summary and restatement of the position.
Direct quotes are not appropriate for this assignment. Paraphrased ideas or citing general support can be noted by simply identifying the source (e.g., Yar and Steinmetz). Specificity is valued, so if you rely on a work that appears in the book, try to cite the specific author(s), rather than the author of the book (for example, Reynes, or Reynes in Yar and Steinmetz).
