Liberty University Working with Mentally Ill Offenders Review

The purpose of the Journal Article Review Assignment is to get you to begin to analyze recent
and relevant research in your field. The journal article review is a way to dissect research
conducted by scholars and experts. Solid, empirical research is the basis for a doctoral degree
and should be regarded as having the utmost importance. The ability to read, interpret, critically
analyze, and integrate content from an article to a problem is a hallmark of those graduating with
a doctoral degree as you will be expected to publish, at least occasionally, once you finish your
degree.
