The articles can be research-based or expository, as long as they are current (published within
the last 4 years) and relate to a security administration issue or problem.
Each review is expected to be between 1,000 and 1,250 words typed. As a rule of thumb, the first
half of the review should be a summary of the information contained in the article, and the second
half should contain your critical analysis and review of the article. Your submission should cover
the major theory or thesis, research methodology and population studied (if any), major
arguments or points of view, findings or conclusions, and major issues. It should also include a
critique of the author’s work and its implications and usefulness for security managers and
administrators. APA Style guidelines will be adhered to in all respects.
