Helping students improve their research paper-writing skills and feel more confident about the writing process in general, the Research Writer for Criminal Justice CD-ROM clarifies the process and helps students put their research into perspective. The CD-ROM takes students step-by-step through the writing process, offering helpful tips and reminders along the way. Students can e-mail a report to their instructor at any stage to see if they're on the right track. When students complete a report, the Research Writer CD-ROM can format it as a Microsoft Word document according to standard research report style guidelines.
