“Example” sentence and Reference list


citation from a student paper

Survey responses indicate that the general


public does not favor more severe
punishment for hate crimes than for other
kinds of crime. Such responses may
demonstrate the public’s regard for
“proportionality in sentencing and a
tendency to focus on the immediate harm
caused by an offense, rather than on more
long-term and/or widespread harm (e.g.,
the terrorizing effects of hate crimes on other
members of the target community)” (Steen
& Cohen, 2004, p. 118).
