CCJ-4700 Journal Article Critique Guidelines

For this assignment, you will be required to conduct a critique of a published, peer-reviewed journal article. Specifically, you will evaluate the overall written quality of the manuscript, as well as its structure, coherence and theoretical argument(s). You will also be critically assessing the methodology of the study. In so doing, critique the conceptualization and measurement of the identified variables, the sampling strategy, data collection instruments, internal and external validity, the study’s adherence to ethical guidelines, and the overall intellectual merit of the investigation. Below is additional information regarding each section of the article that needs to be critiqued, as well as a grading rubric. Your final written assignment should be between 1 and 2 pages that are typed in Times New Roman, 12-point font, and double-spaced with 1’’ margins. For this particular assignment, do not be concerned with APA formatting. Please be attentive, however, to proper punctuation, grammar, spelling and syntax as these elements will be graded.
