APA citation help please?

Are these cited correctly, besides the italics. I can't figure out how to make them italics on here

Publications.



Fuller, J. (2009). Juvenile Delinquency: Mainstream and Crosscurrents. Columbus, OH:

PEARSON Prentice Hall.



Jones, D. (2008).Fixing the juvenile justice system. New York Amsterdam News. 99(9), p5.

of the U.S.

approach to juvenile corrections staffing. Corrections Today



Eadie, T. %26amp; Morley, R. (2003) Crime, Justice and Punishment in Baldock. Social

Policy Oxford: Oxford University Press

APA citation help please?
The first line of each citation should be more to the left of the other lines. (all but first line should be indented... Y/A won't let me do it right, so pretend the --- aren't there.



E.g.,



Cox, S., Allen, J., Hanser, R., %26amp; Conrad, J.

---(2008). Juvenile Delinquency. Los Angeles:

---SAGE Publications.

_____________________

Make sure names of books are italicized. If using articles, don't italicize the name of the story/article. Italiize the name of the Journal/Newspaper/Magazine.



Volumes and issues, but NOT page numbers should be italicized as well.



E.g.,



New York Amsterdam News. 99(9), p5.



New York Amsterdam News, 99(9), should be italicized (notice the comma after 'news', not a period).



5. should NOT be italicized. Don't use the 'p'.

_____________________________





Eadie, T. %26amp; Morley, R. (2003) Crime, Justice and Punishment in Baldock. Social

Policy Oxford: Oxford University Press



I'm confuced on this one. Is 'Social Policy Oxford' the name of a journal or something? Remember, if using a book, the city of publication goes, and then the publisher.



e.g. Oxford: Oxford University Press



If it's a journal article, no city used, just name of journal (italicized) and volume/issue/page numbers.

If you are going to be citing APA quite a bit, I would check out www.noodletools.com

I am working on my thesis and this website has saved me MANY hours.

So I looked over your reference list and it looks good with just a couple of mistakes.
