You will write one clinical/ theoretical paper that combines your knowledge of the criminal justice system/ incarceration with psychology/ mental health. 

The paper will be 15-20 pages including references, title page, and abstract. All APA 7 guidelines should be followed.

– A little longer is fine but try to stick to a 20 maximum. 

– I will not monitor how many exact pages or references but they must be academic sources and you likely will need at least 8-10 articles to write a good paper.

Suggested topics (but not limited to): health inequities, racial inequality, COVID-19 in correctional settings, impacts on physical and mental health, family therapy, couples therapy, domestic violence, trauma, substance use, or parent-child relationships. A detailed outline and guideline will be provided. 

You have the option to make this paper either:

Clinical Implications paper

Clinical case study (this should be a fake case)
