First you need to decide on which 3 social issues you want to write about.  If you're not sure what qualifies as a social issue, ask your instructor to be sure!  But, for example, one social issue could be domestic violence.  In the library type words in the search box like this:
 
"domestic violence" criminal justice personnel
(include the "quotation marks" around "domestic violence"...The quotation marks tell the system to look for the words together, next to each other, in a phrase. 
Then click the Search button
 
 
Another search use the key words correctional personnel instead of criminal justice personnel, like this:
 
"domestic violence" correctional  personnel
 
After you choose your 3 key social issues (with your instructor's help if you are in doubt), type in the social issue and search it twice, like we did above.  first using criminal justice personnel, and another time with correctional personnel:
 
"prison overcrowding" criminal justice personnel
"prison overcrowding"correctional personnel
parole criminal justice personnel
parole correctional  personnel
 
Each one will give you slightly different results.
