Question 15

What piece of information is missing from this eJournal reference?

Novak, K.J., Brown, R.A. and Frank, J. (2011) 'Women on patrol: an analysis of differences in officer arrest behaviour', Policing: An International Journal of Police Strategies & Management, 23(4), pp. 566-587. Emerald [Online]. (Accessed: 1 February 2012).

The URL of the collection/journal database or, if one had been assigned, the DOI (Digital Object Identifier). So the full reference, in the Harvard style, would read:

Novak, K.J., Brown, R.A. and Frank, J. (2011) 'Women on patrol: an analysis of differences in officer arrest behaviour', Policing: An International Journal of Police Strategies & Management, 23(4), pp. 566-587. Emerald [Online]. Available at: http://www.emeraldinsight.com/ (Accessed: 1 February 2012).

OR if you had used the DOI the reference would read as follows:

Novak, K.J., Brown, R.A. and Frank, J. (2011) 'Women on patrol: an analysis of differences in officer arrest behaviour', Policing: An International Journal of Police Strategies & Management, 23(4), pp. 566-587. [Online]. doi:10.1108/1363951111118021610.1108/1363951 (Accessed: 1 February 2012).
