Assessment 2: Create an Annotated Bibliography
Purpose: Some students enrolled in this topic will be returning to university after a long
eak and may be unfamiliar with using the li
ary resources available, others may have studied a degree that expected them to read no further that the set text book (often written by the lecturer). Some of you may be unclear about the conventions of academic integrity.
Therefore, the tasks for this assessment serve multiple purposes. to finesse your academic skills, capabilities and competencies through task-orientated learning and, to create a useful resource which you can use in this topic and as you make your way through this degree
Let’s start with critical thinking
Watch this short video by Professor Phil Scraton for what I believe is a concise and clear explanation of what critical thinking means in a university context. Professor Phil Scraton on critical thinking
**Confession! Phil Scraton is my hero. He is well known for his work with the families and survivors from the Hillsborough Stadium disaster in 1989. For a demonstration of the power of his own critical thinking, you can find some of his publications, including his book, Hillsborough: The Truth, here: Phil Scraton on Researchgate There is also a documentary about Hillsborough available through the Flinders University Li

Task 2: Conduct a literature search
The following 2 slides set out a detailed list of the number and type of resources required.
Check the notes under the slide for extra details.

Everything from this list
1 scholarly monograph (see notes below)
2 refereed/peer-reviewed journal articles only accessible through Flinders Li
ary
One PhD thesis (sometimes called a dissertation)
An official website from a professional organisation
A government report or document
Two refereed/peer-reviewed articles from a quality open access journal (see notes)
What is a scholarly monograph? A scholarly monograph is a book and can be in hard copy or as an electronic ebook. “Scholarly monographs are single-volume works (books) providing in-depth research into a specialized area of knowledge. They contribute to the ongoing scholarship in a particular discipline by offering original insight into their subjects. Unlike popular or trade books, which are geared toward general readers, they are written by faculty or other scholars in a field for an academic audience. Although scholarly monographs are self-contained (they can stand on their own), they may be part of a series of books covering a wider subject area. Scholarly monographs are typically purchased by academic and research li
aries for use by scholars, including students. You won't usually find them on bookstore shelves” (Eastern Illinois Li
ary, 2016).For more, see this website: https:

Open Access or Creative Commons: What is a quality open access journal? These are best found through the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) https:
doaj.org
Open access is a movement which aims to make research accessible to everyone, not just people who go to well-funded universities. A large amount of journals have paywalls and therefore preventing people from reading cu
ent quality research. A note of caution though, some open access journals are themselves ‘dodgy’, in that they do not use a proper or thorough peer review process. This is why it is best to use the DOAJ to find relevant journals

Task 3: Create an annotated bibliography
Using the resources you found in task 2, create an annotated bibliography (see notes for an explanation)
This should consist of a co
ectly formatted citation and be followed by 3 to 7 sentences which
iefly explain the resource in a useful way. See the notes section below.

student.unsw.edu.au/annotated-bibliography
What is an annotated bibliography? Copy and paste the link into your
owser, looking closely at the Sample Annotation at the end of the page. “An annotated bibliography provides a
ief account of the available research on a given topic. It is a list of research sources that includes concise descriptions and evaluations of each source”(UNSW, XXXXXXXXXXhttps:

Task 4: Enter the information into a referencing system (this task is Voluntary, but highly beneficial)
Now create or build on your own reference management database. This can follow you throughout your time at university and into further studies
You can use Endnote, a software application available to all Flinders University students. Follow this link for access and instructions Endnote @ Flinders
Another very simple option is to use the referencing function in Word. This 7 minute video shows you how: Using the referencing tool in Word 2013

Michele’s Annotated Bibliography
Scholarly monograph
Davis, A. Y XXXXXXXXXXAbolition Democracy: Beyond empire, prisons and torture. New York, NY: Seven Stories Press.
In this book, Davis extends the arguments she made in Are Prisons Obsolete (2003), comparing the example of the state sanctioned torture and abuse that happened in Abu Ghraib which outraged much of the world and the everyday and commonplace treatment in prisons across the globe. She argues that the racist origins of institutions that make up what we know as ‘democracy’ actually compromises precisely what the public believes that democracy should entail. The argument presented is sophisticated in the multiple ways real life examples are connected to the theoretical framework of understanding racism used by sociologist W.E.B. DuBois.
2 Refereed journal articles
Halsey, M XXXXXXXXXXAssembling recidivism: The promise and contingencies of post-release life. Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology, 97(4), XXXXXXXXXX.
Excellent example of a longitudinal study undertaken in South Australia about the difficulties of post-release for young men. Unlike most criminological research, this is qualitative and the excerpts from the participants spread through the paper adds a lot of authenticity to the accounts. Issues that most people would not consider (for example not having an alarm clock) show just how hard it is to negotiate life successfully upon release from prison.
Brook, H XXXXXXXXXXDark tourism. Law Text Culture, 13(1), XXXXXXXXXX.
This paper combines critique, scholarly argument and a personal story of family incarceration. What makes it unique is that it is set in the now closed Adelaide Gaol. The title, Dark Tourism, refers to the practice of people viewing sites of punishment, misery and violence as ‘tourists’ (think for example Auschwitz, or the site of the collapse of the twin towers in New York on 9/11). The paper argues that the voices and experiences of former prisoners are silenced in such prison tourism, thus leaving much of the story untold.
Government or organisational report
Commonwealth of Australia XXXXXXXXXXRoyal Commission into the Protection and Detention of Children in the Northern Te
itory: Interim Report. Canbe
a: Commonwealth of Australia. Retrieved from https:
childdetentionnt.royalcommission.gov.au/about-us/Documents/RCNT-Interim-report.pdf
The Royal Commission was called after the images of Dylan Voller strapped to a chair and wearing a spit hood was seen on televisions across Australia. Of the recommendations made in this report, the most significant were that the age of criminal responsibility should be increased and that Don Dale (and other youth detention centres) be closed down because the centre failed to comply with even the most basic of human rights.
PhD Thesis/Dissertation
Unnasch, E. A XXXXXXXXXXMotherhood on the inside: Exploring the challenges facing incarcerated women at Julia Tutwiler prison for women (Order No XXXXXXXXXXAvailable from ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global XXXXXXXXXXRetrieved from https:
search-proquest-com.ezproxy.flinders.edu.au/docview/ XXXXXXXXXX?accountid=10910
Unnasch argues that the criminal justice system is deeply entrenched in racist and classist perceptions that make incarcerated women especially vulnerable to policies and ideologies that regularly involve the denial of their reproductive and parental rights. Tracing the impact of the “war on drugs,” she demonstrates that women, the poor, and people of colour have disproportionately become caught in the net of the criminal justice system. Building upon data collected from interviewing 15 women who were incarcerated mothers, Unnasch suggests that the nature of incarceration for women and the potential for motherhood to be an empowering identity.

A 43-minute interview with author Carlo Gebler who spent nearly thirty years as a writing teacher in a men’s prison in Northern Ireland. There are also interviews with prisoners and they speak to Phil Scraton. The focus is on exploring the ways that prison arts and education made a difference to the lives of prisoners. He must have had a good boss who would remind Carlo that his job was not to teach, but to be a human being.
