Access it at http://think.stedwards.edu/business/writingresources and download APA TEMPLATE, 6th edition as a template to the computer. Use the APA template for the document instead of the Normal template. Using APA Template When a New Document is opened, using the template the document automatically has 1” margins, is double-spaced, and has page numbers at the top right margin in the header.

...Title of Paper Author Name Institutional Affiliation Repeat the Full Paper Title Here I post this paper template with some American Psychological Association (APA) guidelines (APA, 2009) in order to help you learn APA. Note that I am not trying to write a thesis here, but am trying to provide you with a useful template and some tips to improve your writing! The use of this template is not required, but I strongly recommend using it to submit your papers in this and other courses if your instructors do not provide a template or guidelines but do require APA. You can simply replace my words and headings with your words and headings. This section is the introduction of your paper. Note that it does not have a heading that says “Introduction”; the fact that it is the introduction is implied by its placement within the paper. A strong introduction will provide the background or an overview of your paper’s topic, explain the paper’s purpose, and provide an outline of the paper. Headings All of your papers will probably include first level headings. First level headings are like the one above. They should be centered, boldface, and use title case (Upper and Lower Case like the Examples in this Paper). For a long, in-depth paper, you may want sections within your headings. These are second level headings.

...Theories for Delinquent Behavior Theories for Delinquent Behavior Juvenile Justice (Name) (College) February 18, 2013 Theories for Delinquent Behavior While choosing two theories of causation for better understanding why delinquent behavior occurs, one should possibly look at the psychological theory and the biological theory. While recently hearing about children in the news who have done violent crimes and are now being charged as adults one must began to wonder if it had to do with their upbringing. A particular story, Cristian Fernandez, a 12 year old Florida boy who killed his 2 year old brother and is now being charged as an adult, is one that can be determined toward these theories in particular. This boy has had a very difficult upbringing. His mother gave birth to him when she was only 12 years old herself, after becoming pregnant with him from a sexual assault. His grandmother who was helping raise him, was found to be addicted to drugs. Biological and psychological theories are involved in his delinquent behavior in some opinions. Biological theory states The conclusion is written and again reiterates the text of the introduction.
