Essay 1: Definition   A definition essay asks the writer to concentrate on the clarification of the meaning of the concept or word. This does not mean the writer should provide a dictionary definition. In fact, avoid using any dictionary references or Wikipedia. Essays found to have standard definitions will see a deduction in the research portion of the rubric. The purpose of this essay is to seek the writer’s definition of the term or concept without using first person in the thesis statement or body of the paper. The reader knows the sentiments are coming from you, the writer.   Once again, this paper must be written in third person, which avoids the use of first person pronouns: no I, no me, no my, no we!   The writer must determine which form of the word he or she is going to illustrate. For instance, the word “liberty” to one person may mean freedom or free will, whereas to another, it may mean leave time from sea duty.   Clearly indicate to your audience your chosen word to define. Present a clear and concise definition in your own words what the term means to you. Use two to three strong identifiers. An example of an effective thesis statement could be: Bravery is fearlessness, courage to know one’s mind, and, in the face of opposition, holding one’s ground. Please see the attachment below for a detailed explanation of this sample example using Bravery.   Note: one abstract word collects others that you must define. You will do this by using an example and quotation for each of your two to three terms in your thesis statement. Obviously, when you were thinking of your definition, you thought of a moment in which you related that term you an experience you have seen or heard. Use these examples without inserting yourself into the story.   You must write a descriptive essay in which you define a word of your choice from the list of 22 words below. You need to use at least two resources to prove your claims but no more than four outside sources. This would be a wonderful opportunity to visit or revisit the APUS library. Remember not to use the standard dictionary or Wikipedia as sources. You will write Assignment #1 for a general audience that would include your classmates.   All essays should be in MLA format. Your essay should be between 500-750 words.   Word List for Assignment #1 Anxiety Evil Joy Pleasure Submission Childhood Fascination Life Reality Thrill Death Graciousness Luxury Sanity Wealth Disbelief Hope Opportunity Skill Weariness   WARNING: You may NOT use this paper for any other class. Using this paper for any other class is a form of academic dishonesty.   Attached are a sample template and the grading rubric for this essay.   DISCLAIMER: Remember, originality of attachments will be verified by Turnitin. Both you and your instructor will receive the results.   The Final Draft of Essay 1 is due by 11:55 pm, ET, Sunday of Week 2.

Data types are general categories of juvenile justice statistical data. The three primary sources for juvenile justice statistics or data types are official reports, self-report surveys, and victimization surveys. Each source has unique strengths and weaknesses, such as accuracy, breadth of coverage, and types of crime addressed. Here is an example of each data type: Official Report: The FBI\’s UCR is a summary of official crime statistics submitted by state and local law enforcement agencies. Self-Reports: The report, Monitoring the Future, measures the extent of delinquent acts committed by high school students. Victimization Survey: The NCVS measures household victimizations and the attitudes, habits, and responses of the victims surveyed nationwide. Tasks: Part A: For this assignment, pick a location and select two of the three primary data types:  Remember both your data sources must be from the same location; if your first choice is the data type victimization surveys with the location being your state then your other data source will be either official reports or self-report surveys from the same location, your state. You may conduct an Internet search using the same locale and jurisdiction, for example: United States official reports andUnited States victimization survey The ultimate goal is to select and compare two different data sources, both from the same location, time period (usually given as a year or a range of years), and population (usually given as a geographic location or a jurisdiction).  Using a series of line graphs, compare the data presented in each data source across four different offense types during the same five-year period. For example, you could use assault, larceny theft, truancy, or runaways, then describe two examples each of the common delinquent offenses and the status of the offenses. In a minimum of 2 pages, write a paper that includes responses to the following: Comment with explanations on the results of the data presented for each offense type.Analyze any trends and state which offense type shows the greatest discrepancy between the two data sources.Given the nature of the data sources, describe why you think this discrepancy exists. Be sure to note with reasons whether your overall results are or are not what you initially expected.Include an APA-formatted reference page that links back to your in-text citations and supports your recommendations. Remember, you cannot have only in-text citations or only references; you must have both because in-text citations and references link to each other.
