My abstract: The purpose of this paper is to examine the shortcomings of the parole and probation systems in the United States. As well as highlighting the potential risks they pose to communities, it also raises concerns about the justice for victims.There is a strong emphasis on the importance of exploring alternatives to traditional punishments for non-violent offenders, as well as addressing the high rates of relapse among these individuals. This paper examines statistics and studies that reveal the ineffectiveness and challenges facing parole and probation systems. Advocating for reevaluating and potentially reforming these systems in order to better protect communities and ensure justice for all.

Part 1: In recent years, a common narrative has emerged that suggests our law enforcement agencies have adopted an increasingly ″militarized″ approach, particularly since the events of September 11th.
What are your thoughts on this issue? Do you perceive a shift towards more ″militarized″ practices in our police departments post-9/11? If so, why do you believe this? Conversely, if you disagree, what factors lead you to this conclusion? As you share your perspectives, please delve into the reasoning behind your stance. Provide at least three specific reasons to substantiate your argument.
Remember, our goal here is to foster an open, respectful exchange of ideas. Each of us might interpret the issue differently based on our unique experiences and understandings, and that′s perfectly okay. Let′s learn from each other!
Part 2: What does it mean when people say the police have an ″Impossible Mandate″? Are there tasks or responsibilities that the police are expected to carry out, but it seems impossible for them to always succeed? Could you name two specific roles or jobs of the police that you think are impossible to get 100% right all the time, and explain why you chose those? Provide specific examples.

This assignment is the third in a series of four assignments on the same topic, due in Weeks 2, 4, 7, and 9. The assignments build upon each other.
Remember, as a reporter or Department of Justice investigator, you are using your critical thinking and information literacy skills to assess an ethnic, racial, gender, or class issue causing problems for and affecting a specific community or group of people. Your goal is to provide both an in-depth analysis of and put a human face on this issue by writing an article or report that will be presented at a professional conference.
Preparation
You will continue using your critical thinking and information literacy skills to research and write about an important ethnic, racial, gender, or class issue affecting a specific community or group of people. Your goal is to provide both an in-depth analysis of and put a human face on this issue.
For this assignment, you will write the second part of your article or report, focusing on proposed changes (or changes already implemented) to help solve the community′s problems. You will consider the benefits and challenges of those changes.
Incorporate the feedback you receive on both parts of the article or report from your instructor as you prepare for your final assignment–the slide presentation due in Week 9.
Requirements
Write a 2-3 page (750-1,000 words) paper in which you:
Describe 2-3 changes (economic, social, political, legal, et cetera) that could possibly improve the situation.
Describe the interventions in those examples that have been attempted to rectify the issue.
Analyze 2-3 benefits (economic, social, political, legal, et cetera) that could be realized following the changes.
Explain how the changes could resolve the challenges and benefit the groups involved.
Describe 2-3 challenges (economic, social, political, legal, et cetera) to implementing or maintaining the changes.
You don′t have to agree with all challenges; just understand that they are possible.
Analyze one of the more significant challenges in more detail.
Describe the argument against the change.
Describe a defense of the change, in spite of problems.
Use five or more credible, relevant, and reliable references in addition to the textbook.
Three sources can be the same as the ones used in the first part of your article or report. The others must be new sources.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:
Analyze an inclusive solution to a social problem concerning class, ethnicity, gender, or race.

Students will submit a written report of their data collection findings and discuss the analysis of data. This should include a synopsis of the results, analysis methods used and a discussion of these findings. This assignment requires that you summarize how you will collect the data you will use for your research project. There are several types of data available.
Data Collection
Science is an empirical enterprise. That means that it is data based. There are two ways that we collect data:
we observe people and use our observations as data, and
we ask people questions and use what they tell us as data.
Sometimes surveys are referred to as sample surveys because we select a sample of individuals from the population and ask them questions. Then we use their answers to these questions as our data. Surveys can take various forms:
in-person interviews,
mailed questionnaires,
telephone surveys, and
web-based surveys.
Error is inevitable whenever we study something. Since we can’t eliminate all error our goal is to minimize error. Error can enter into a survey in various ways.
Sampling error occurs when we select a sample from a population. No sample is a perfect representation of a population.
Coverage error occurs when the list of the population from which we select our sample does not perfectly match the population. For example, about 98% of all households in the United States have a telephone (either landline or cell or both). So when we do a telephone survey we fail to cover about 2% of all households.
Nonresponse error occurs when we fail to reach the entire sample. This type of error can occur in two ways – refusals and the failure to contact some individuals in the sample.
Measurement error occurs when our measures of some concept fall short in some way. For example, the way we word our survey questions can introduce error. It turns out that it matters a great deal whether we refer to global warming or climate change when we ask people questions.
Our survey design should clearly describe how we plan to collect our data. We should consider the different ways that error might enter into the data and how we will try to minimize that error.

Exam Content
One of the best ways to understand the criminal justice process is to examine the work of the people who are on the frontlines. Law enforcement has a variety of roles and functions within your local community, and many are unaware of these roles and functions.

Imagine you have been asked to provide information to your community at a town hall meeting about the functions of your local police department. You have been asked to provide a handout to the people who attend.

Consider the research you completed in Week 1 on the following items:
The impact of policing in your community
Community programs offered by the police
Theories of criminal behavior that most align with the goals and programs of police in your community

Write a report to provide to the townhall meeting attendees in which you explain your findings. Respond to the following:
What is the mission of your local police department?
What goals does your local police department have? How do they work to accomplish these goals?
What are the various roles police play in your community? What is their impact?
How do your local police partner with citizens and other entities?
What community programs (e.g., D.A.R.E., Police Explorers) are offered by your local police department? Explain the programs, including the benefits they provide to society and the role the police play in these programs.
Which criminal theories (e.g., biological, psychological, and sociological) most align with the goals or programs you identified? (Refer to Ch. 3, “Explaining Crime,” in your textbook, as needed.)
Complete in APA Format – Review APA Sample Paper for proper format. All papers must have a title page, a reference page, and the entire paper must be double-spaced. The paper must also have properly formatted in text citations.
Submit your assignment as a Word or PDF attachment.

7:3 Negative Case [Sample]
Negative Case [1NC] Sample
Below is a link to the Negative case against the sample affirmative case, no Sex education proposition. Please use this as a reference when writing your negative case against your own affirmative case on the prostitution topic. Cite the source correctly, year, author, name.
PLEASE :Don′t forget to add the author information, Also please in highlighting, and bold font.
Remember, you have to add at least one paragraph. If you get information from two consecutive paragraphs, you must include the entirety of both paragraphs.

This paper will be an opportunity to explore a topic related to policing or prisons in greater depth. You should select a topic that will enable you to compare the decades around 1900 with the past 50 years. Both historical eras saw significant growth and change in policing, prisons, and other criminal justice policies and practices. Your final paper should provide insights into the nature and practice of either policing or prisons in both time periods, and stress both similarities and differences over time.

Some dimensions you might consider in your analysis include institutional power and funding, major perceived crime threats, criminological tools/methods/knowledge, social inequities, political pressures, and/or the social forces of race, class and geography. How have governmental policies and economic growth or decline related to crime historically? Why have police and prisons become so central in managing the “dangerous classes” in recent decades?
Use the feedback you have received on your previous work to further refine your thinking and guide your writing. Your final paper should address the prompt above, using a mix of course readings and outside sources. The outside sources can be drawn from academic journals, governmental records, research institutes, and credible news sources. At least three outside sources should be peer-reviewed academic articles. Use the Criminal Justice MaxGuide and/or consult with a librarian to guide your search for peer-reviewed sources. See the resources folder on Blackboard for additional links. More information about sources and paper requirements will be discussed in class.

The final paper should be 6-8 pages, double spaced, with 1-inch margins. Title page and works cited do not count towards the 6-8 pages. It should critically and thoughtfully engage with 2-4 sources from the course readings and 4-6 outside sources. Cite all sources in APA format. Final papers should be uploaded to Blackboard.
