For each situation, type up the parenthetical citation (or footnote) appropriate to the situation, as well as a "Works Cited" or "References" citation (such as would appear at the end of the paper).
The following sentence appears in your paper:
Again, a study performed by Grennan, concentrating on male and female
police officers' confrontations with citizens, revealed that the inborn or
socialized nurturing ability possessed by female police workers makes them
"just as productive as male officers in the handling of a violent
confrontation."
The quotation comes from page 84 of an article published in Journal
of Police Science and Administration in 1987 and written by Samuel
Grennan. The article appeared on pages 78-84 of the first issue of
volume 15 of the journal. The article's title was "Findings on
the Role of Officer Gender in Violent Encounters with Citizens."
The following sentence appears in your paper:
In a study done by Vega and Silverman, almost 75% of male police
officers felt that women were not strong enough to handle the demands of
patrol duties, and 42% felt women lacked the needed assertiveness to enforce
the law vigorously.
Would you need a citation for this information? Matthew Vega
and Immanuel Silverman wrote an article, called "Female Police Officers
as Viewed by Their Male Counterparts." It was published in the
first issue of volume 5 of Police Studies in 1987. It appeared
on pages 31-39 of the journal, and the percentages in the sentence above
appear on page 32. Police Studies is published in Chicago.
The following sentence appears in your paper:
Who returns a questionnaire can affect results, as happened, for
example, with one study in which "78% of the former students in the top
percentile of their class returned the questionnaire, while only 28% from
the bottom percentile returned the questionnaire."
This quotation came from a 1999 article by R. L. Griffey, called
"The Personalization of Questionnaires." The article
appeared on pages 83-93 of volume 14 of the Journal of Survey Techniques.
The quotation is on page 83.
