The Search for Sources.
On my topic of police brutality and when and why some policemen are guilty of using excessive force,the search for articles supporting my ideas was more difficult than I thought. Not many articles focus on why policeman act in an overly violent way, so I will definitely have to go into a deeper search for my topic. However, I am in a forensic psychology class this semester and one of the chapters we already focused on involves police psychology. There is a really good section about why policemen may act the way they do so I will definitely be able to use that book. So while on my search for the other two articles I need for my Annotated Bibliography I took a different route and got an opposite article on why policemen do not use excessive force. The other article was harder to come by. I just used the key words "police brutality" but not a lot of articles were relevant to what I am studying so I had to take different perspectives. I'm nervous that I will not be able to find any more articles on my topic because if I narrow my search to the precise topic I want, there are only about 20 articles. I think we have to use 8 for the whole semester. So, hopefully I will be able to find enough sources for all of my assignments.

Good tactics here, Amber! Sounds like you've got a great start on sources.
