CRM 333: The Police

APA Example

The Purdue Online Writing Lab (commonly called "OWL") is an excellent resource for checking the formatting of citations, learning how to cite tricky or unusual items, creating in-text citations, and formatting your paper.  Here is an example of a properly formatted journal article reference, provided by Purdue OWL:

EXAMPLE:  Baniya, S., & Weech, S. (2019). Data and experience design: Negotiating community-oriented digital research with service-learning. Purdue Journal of Service-Learning and International Engagement, 6(1), 11–16. https://doi.org/10.5703/1288284316979

Please note that in your reference list, you should use a hanging indent for your reference section.  In Word, expand the Paragraph menu, then use the drop-down "Special" menu and select Hanging.
