i have to do research on "the role of the victims in sentencing a defendant" and i am not sure how to begin my search
Answer
Thank you for contacting the Argosy University Library.
I recommend performing a search using the Library Search box located at the bottom of the Argosy University Library homepage.
Below is a suggested search strategy:
- victim AND sentencing AND role
From this search, I was able to locate several resources that seemed relevant to your topic. In particular, there is a book chapter titled "The Role of Victims in the Sentencing Process" by Sandra Bacchus.
You can also try performing an article-only search by using ProQuest Central or Academic Search Complete. Both resources can be found under the Find Articles and More section of the library webpage. I would recommend using the same suggested search strategy.
Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
Best,
Argosy University Library
