The relevance of the Harm Principle in the 21st Century Canadian Criminal Law
For this paper, you are not doing research outside of the materials assigned for this course and/or identified in the questions below. You must use the book. I will upload the information for this essay.
MUSTS:
-No outside research can be cited in this essay
-all quotes to support the writing must come from the book
-Must be an ARGUMENTATIVE essay
"IMPORTANT!!"
All citations must be provided in footnotes or endnotes. Parenthetical or embedded references may not be used. - Any source that you identify in your footnotes/endnotes must also appear in your bibliography. Your bibliography may also include any source that you consulted during the course of your research, but which you did not refer to specifically in a footnote/endnote. Citations: References to materials in the course textbook must identify the author and title of the specific work contained in that collection (for instance, you must cite Aquinas specifically, not just Dimock).
If you use the exact words that are in your source, you must put quotation marks around the passage, and provide a footnote/endnote indicating the source the quotation (including the page number). If you use any fact, idea, or argument from any source, but do not use the exact words that the author uses to express that information, you must provide a footnote/endnote. Do not put quotation marks around a passage that is not in exactly the same words as the original text. If you are summarising or paraphrasing information (that is, if you are not quoting it directly), you must make sure that the words you use are significantly different from the original text. Changing one or a few words in a sentence, but keeping some of what the original author wrote, is not allowed. Changing the way each sentence is written, but following the author's train of thought sentence by sentence (even in different words), is not allowed. Not identifying the source of your information, identifying a direct quotation as your own summary of the author's argument, and identifying your summary of the author's argument as a direct quotation from the text, are all forms of academic dishonesty. University policies regarding plagiarism will be strictly enforced. *Susan Dimock* is the book author.
THESIS must be clear and good and support all things being discussed in this essay.
