Challenges Facing Nations in Combating Juvenile Delinquency Essay

As an open-ended analysis assignment, the essay has no specific prompt, beyond asking you to focus analytical attention on key themes and concepts explored in the course so far, as covered in scholarly readings and documentary videos

You may choose to focus on more than one of the fictional works in the above list if you’d like, and you are free/expected to use and build on any of the work you have produced about these texts for the Discussion Forums (your own previous writing, of course), but please keep in mind that I will expect to see substantial development and revision of previous work into a longer, cohesive essay format, with standard thesis and essay structure, fully developed close-reading analysis support, etc.

Proposal/Prospectus

For the Proposal/Prospectus, please provide a brief paragraph, in MLA 8 format, explaining:

A. The specific fictional work(s) you will be analyzing

B. The specific scholarly source(s) you will be using to conduct your analysis
(NOTE: This source may include assigned scholarly course texts—e.g., Bauman, Giroux, Taussig)

C. An initial argument/analytical focus/set of questions that you plan to develop/explore in your essay
(it’s okay if you do not yet have a fully developed or even exploratory argument; just be sure to provide a sense at least of what specific questions/issues/topics/themes you want to explore and develop)
