Exercise 2.4: Locating Books Your Total Score:_ (Maximum: 6 points)

Using the library catalog, find a book on your societal category at any geographic level. Books published by the government may not be used for this exercise. Attach a photocopy of the title page directly behind the page on which this exercise appears. Book: When Brute Force Fails: How to have less Crime and Less Punishment
 * **Directly quote a full sentence from the book that is related to your societal category here:** But in fact age-specified crime rates soared, perhaps because the sheer size of the boomer generation made it less responsive to its elders. “With the birth of the third child,” it has been said, “parents have to move from man to man coverage to zone defense.”

Exercise 2.6: Using Policy Publications Your Total Score:­­­_ (Maximum 12 points)

A. Using CQ Researcher, find a publication that contains information relevant to your societal category at any geographic level. (6 points) Part A Score: Energy and Climate

· **Using full sentences, quote no more than three sentences from the article that gives you a better understanding of your societal category** **here:** at cutting emissions from burning carbon fuels. The Environmental Protection Agency plans to regulate greenhouse-gas emissions, which scientists link to global warming. The House recently passed a comprehensive energy bill that would institute a “cap-and-trade” system imposing an increasingly tight cap on carbon emissions by requiring polluters such as electric-power companies to buy emission permits or switch to cleaner energy sources.

B. Using the “Contacts” section of the CQ Researcher article, find one of the organizations from the list (preferably a public policy institute), and retrieve a policy paper, working paper, policy brief, or online report from the past five years on your societal category. The “Contacts” section appears once you have opened an article. It is one of the links in the gray column at the left margin of each CQ Researcher publication. (6 points)

Part B Score: _


 * Quote one sentence from the publication that gives evidence of a societal problem that exists within your societal category here:** coal-fired power plants account for roughly one third of U.S. carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions and will therefore be central to a GHG cap-and-trade program
