Purchasing Textbooks
ACAP recommends the following websites for purchasing textbooks:
For textbooks for the Criminal Justice, Criminology, and Policing units, students should order from Zookal. Additionally, most local book stores should be able to special order textbooks, if you supply them with the ISBN. Many etextbooks can be purchased through VitalSource or other ebook platforms.
Note for Cengage ebooks: ACAP does not currently support the MindTap platform. Please do not purchase MindTap versions of these textbooks.
APA7 Referencing Guide
Many of your units and courses will require you to become proficient in APA7-style referencing. A helpful free guide with examples is available via the Library website, however some students may also wish to consult the in-depth official guide produced by the American Psychological Association. Limited numbers of print copies are available in campus libraries, or can alternatively be purchased from Booktopia or the book retailer of your choice.
