Answer question: How do neighborhoods influence juvenile delinquency?
Your paper should begin with an introductory paragraph where you introduce the topic of examination. Somewhere in that paragraph, you will want to explicitly state the question you aim to answer, as well as an outline for what you will cover in your paper. The body of your paper should assess what the state of knowledge is, based on research that you read and summarize, to help answer your question. Your paper should conclude with an original evaluation of the state of the field. What is the best answer to the question you ask, currently? How clear is this answer? Is there conflicting evidence or dissent? What still is unknown? What are future areas for research on this topic? It is not enough to conclude by restating what is known – your conclusion should summarize and expand on what you’ve learned.
