Description
In this course we are provided a worksheet with questions that need to be answered in an essay format. The questions are self explanatory of what the professor would like for you to discuss and she provides a word count that is required for each question. I have attached the Social Deviance Worksheet that has the questions listed that should be answered as well as the GCU Template, which is the template to use for the format of the paper. Please use the GCU template that’s attached when answering the questions in essay format. The template has the instruction on it on how it should look meaning font, spacing, etc.
On a separate Word document, citing one to three scholarly sources from the GCU library, answer the following prompts in an essay format. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the GCU Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
Explain how social deviance contributes to social problems.
(100-150 words).
Explain how social deviance perpetuates the social problem you
selected on a micro and macro level (150-200 words). The social problem I chose was child abuse.
Use the GCU library and identify an actual solution to the problem of social deviance. Summarize the solution you identified and compare it to historical solutions proposed in the past (150-200 words).

Social Deviance on Child Abuse
Formatting: This is an electronic template for papers written in GCU style. The purpose
of the template is to help you follow the basic writing expectations for beginning your
coursework at GCU. Margins are set at 1 inch for top, bottom, left, and right. The first line of
each paragraph is indented a half inch (0.5″). The line spacing is double throughout the paper,
even on the reference page. Use one space after punctuation at the end of a sentence. The font
style used in this template is Times New Roman. The font size is 12. When you are ready to
write, and after having read these instructions completely, you can delete these directions and
start typing. The paragraph formatting should stay the same. If you have any questions, please
consult with your instructor.
Citations: Citations are used to reference material from another source. When
paraphrasing material from another source (such as a books, journals, website articles, etc.),
include the author’s last name and the publication year in parentheses. When directly quoting
material word-for-word from another source, use quotation marks and include the page number
after the author’s last name and year.
Using citations to give credit to others whose ideas or words you have used is an essential
requirement to avoid issues of plagiarism. Just as you would never steal someone else’s car, you
should not steal their words either. To avoid potential problems, always be sure to cite your
2
sources by referring to the author’s last name and the year of publication in parentheses at the end
of the sentence, such as (Daresh, 2004) and page numbers if you are using word-for-word
materials, such as “There are no simple strategies for accomplishing successful transitions, but
we do know a great deal about how to get off to a good start” (King & Blumer, 2000, p. 356).
The reference list should appear at the end of a paper (see the next page). It provides the
information necessary for a reader to locate and retrieve any source you cite in the body of the
paper. Each source you cite in the paper must appear in your reference list; likewise, each entry in
the reference list must be cited in your text. Reference notes are formatted using a hanging indent
of a half inch (0.5″). A sample reference page is included below; this page includes examples of
how to format different reference types—books (Black & English, 1986), journal articles (Arnold
& Dodge, 1994), website articles (“Seventeen Moments,” n.d.), and GCU course lectures
(“Lecture 1,” 2013).
