I need help finding articles to do a literature review on the effects of juvenile crime on society.
Answer
The Rasmussen University Online Library provides access to several library databases containing full-text articles from academic journals, trade publications, and ebooks. These databases can be sorted by subject. Click here to link to the best databases for Justice Studies.
Best results are achieved when searching using keywords. Consult the Database Help page of the School of Justice Studies Guide to view video demonstrations of database searches and access links to the best databases for this program.
Consider creating a search menu before beginning a database search. A search menu is a listing of keywords that can be included in a search. Examples for the first concept or idea might be:
- "juvenile crime"
- "juvenile delinquency"
- teens and crime
- "juvenile justice"
Terms defining the second concept could be:
- society
- community
- national
These concepts can be linked together with the Boolean and connector so that articles retrieved in a search include both concepts or ideas in the same article.
