Research the “Stand-Your-Ground law”. Use APA style, to write a 1,500-1,700 paper. Make your paper fact and content heavy. Do not use filler or meandering language to obtain a sufficient length to your paper. This is not a novel, you will be penalized for useless verbiage.
Plan to reference 10-20 academic, national news, reliable/noteworthy or government sources. Papers will be submitted to check for plagiarism. You may quote briefly-but do not forget to note the source of each quote in an endnote.
Begin your research paper with a general definition of the law, in 200 words, as if you were summarizing the matter for high school students. After your introduction, compare and contrast 4 different states’ individual interpretation of this law. Your initial research should reveal that states treat this doctrine very differently. Find 4 states which have different interpretations to the doctrine. If your 4 chosen states do not contain large differences, choose different states! For each state explain the following:
1. Chart the progression and changes in the law from 1950 to date; and
2. Discuss any other names/slang used for the law in each state; and
3. Discuss the unique circumstances each state will allow stand-your-ground to be used as a defense;
4. Many states overlap or encompass the castle doctrine along with stand-your-ground, discuss this interpretation for each state; and
5. Does the state allow the doctrine to be extended to locations other than an individual’s home;
6. Does the law currently have a duty to retreat? If so under what circumstances; and
7. Discuss whether the stand-your-ground doctrine can be relied upon by the initial aggressor in a situation
8. Discuss up to 4 cases which occurred in each state (cases which garnered great media coverage and/or caused a change in the law.
Provide a summary of 200 words, stating your opinion of how the law should be stated, used interpreted for the most fair and consistent application by all states
