Journal Article Review Instructions

You will write a Journal Article Review , which will be based upon your choices from the professional, peer-reviewed journalarticles provided. No outside articles will be accepted. Each Journal Article Summary must be 3–5 double-spacedpages (not including the title and reference pages) and created in a Microsoft Word document. Use the following guidelines to create your paper: 

1. Provide an APA-style title page including your name, the paper title (referring to the article title), and the institutional affiliation (Liberty University). Keep in mind that current APA recommends the title length not to exceed 12 words. Use the running head in the appropriate place and a page number on every page. Divide your summary into sections with the following Level 1 headings: Summary, Reflection, and Application (review the APA Manual for guidance if needed).
2. Develop a 1-page summary of the article in your own words. Do not copy and paste from the journal article—this is plagiarism! Provide a brief description of the topic under consideration in the article. If the article describes a research study, include brief statements about the hypotheses, methods, results, discussion, and implications. If any test measures or statistical methods used are given in the article, do not provide detailed descriptions of these. Short direct quotations from the article are acceptable, but they may not be more than 1–2 sentences each and must be properly cited. This section is the foundation of your Journal Article Review (at least a third of your paper). Make sure you include the core points from the article, even if it means a longer section. Do not reference any additional articles in your summary. 
3. In your own words, reflect (in 1 page) on the article. Appropriate comments for this part of the paper could include, but are not limited to, your initial response to the article, comments (in your own words) regarding the study’s design or methodology (if any), insights you gained from reading the article, your reasons for being interested in this particular article, any other readings that you may plan to do based upon having read the article, and other thoughts you have that might further enhance the discussion of your article. This section should constitute approximately a third of your Journal Article Review. Again, do not reference any other article. 
4. In your final section, write in 1 page how you would apply the information you have learned to a potential counseling setting. This could be in a church or clinical session. Develop this section as if you are a pastor or clinician and your parishioner or client has come to you with a problem, needing your help. You may want to pick one of the following “normal” problems for this section: depression, grief, substance abuse, spousal infidelity, unforgiveness, etc. 
5. Provide the complete reference citation for the article being summarized on a reference page in compliance with current APA standards. Be aware of how and when you use periods, spacing, italics, use or non-use of issue number, etc. Do not copy and paste the reference from an electronic source.

*Writing Assignment #2:*Crimes against businesses, such as fraud, 

embezzlement, and computer crimes. While these crimes did not result 

in any physical harm to anyone, the financial damages have been 

devastating. People who were affected by these crimes has lost things 

that cannot be replaced over time while the firms’ affected will have 

the reputations affected for a lifetime. History may forget the 

individual victims, but history will not forget names such as Madoff & 

Enron.

Locate a recent fraud, embezzlement, computer crime case that occurred 

within the last five years. The case chosen must have been committed 

in the last five years and the perpetrators have been brought to 

justice. Make sure that you have enough information about the case so 

that you can answer the following questions:

-What are the main facts about the case?

-Apply the fraud opportunity triangle to the case and illustrate how 

the case complies (or does not complies) with the triangle.

-If you can go into the mind of the person(s) who committed the crime, 

what do you think drove them to commit the crime? Were there signals 

that could have alerted someone that the person(s) were on the verge 

to commit this crime?

-Since this crime was committed via use of some sort of accounting 

system, what additional controls would you recommend that be included 

to prevent or limit crimes like this from happening again?

-Do you agree with the outcome with this case in terms of the verdict? 

Was it too harsh or not harsh enough?

Your response must be at least six complete pages long (excluding 

cover page), using the APA writing style. You also _must include at 

least three external reference (excludes textbook) and include at 

least two in-text citations_. The references and citations must be 

related to the material being presented, and cannot be the textbook or 

the case itself.

i.e. how were the 20s like the housing boom of the early 2000’s or how was the great depression like the big recession we are just now coming out of.
