Midterm Project – Fact Sheet on a Criminal Justice Topic of your choosing (50 Points)
Your assignment is to put together a “fact sheet” on the criminal justice topic of your choosing. I highly recommend that you clear the topic and data source with me prior to completing your assignment. I have included several examples of what a fact sheet should look like on Canvas. There is also a discussion board on Canvas for student questions and answers regarding this project.
Requirements:
- 1 Page
- Typed – 12 pt. font (Times New Roman or Cambria), you should have about 2 paragraphs worth of text throughout your fact sheet.
- 2 Charts/Graphs or tables – Make sure you use labels, include titles, and make them visually appealing!
- You should have text that gives a 1-2 sentence statement about the importance of the graph or chart you create and include. Think of this as the “take home point.” What is the important point of your chart/graph?
