Congratulations! You have arrived at the final assignment for this course. The 6.3 Dropbox assignment will challenge you to apply the wisdom and knowledge you have acquired since the beginning of this course. We have discussed a wide variety of crime and criminal justice policies. The course materials and textbook shared the history, origin, and rationale(s) behind criminal justice and crime policies. Equally important were the research findings that either supported or failed to support the effectiveness of policies. You are now well equipped to design a community-based crime control model that builds upon criminal justice organizations and communities.
Upon successful completion of the course material, you will be able to:
Design a community-based crime control model built upon criminal justice organizations and communities.
Resources
Textbook: Criminal Justice Policy: Origins and Effectiveness

I. Introduction
<
a. Operating U.S. federal prisons and overseeing the care, custody, and control of federal inmates is the Federal Bureau of Prisons, a federal law enforcement organization under the U.S. Department of Justice.
<
<
Thesis Statement—This paper examines the safety of the American prison system by looking at different studies from various sources. This paper will look at these three areas; the safety of the staff, inmates, visitors, and the tools that are used in regard to their safety
<
<
Point #1
<
a. This study gives a brief synopsis of the literature on the safety and wellness of correctional officers, including their job duties, health, and risks and dangers. This data gives a summary of dangers and risks confronting correctional officers.
<
<
b. This research shows that the survey’s goal was to learn more about the opinions of county jail sheriffs, deputies, and other employees toward inmates who suffer from severe mental diseases.
<
<
Point #2
<
a. This study investigated through researchers the Prison Elimination Act (PREA) 2003, sexual assaults in prison. Researchers looked at the traits of the offender and the victim in cases of male inmate sexual assault.
<
<
b. In accordance with the Vera Institute of Justice researchers collected data on the number of people in local jails, state, and federal prisons to provide information on how incarceration has changed since the covid-19 pandemic, it has declined 14% since 2019-2020. In addition to changing American daily life, the COVID-19 pandemic exposed the degrading and life-shortening effects of jail.

a. Both visitors and those in custody are constantly watched. Most visiting rooms in prison are equipped with security cameras. Several correctional guards staff each visiting room.
<
<
b. Family and friend visits are welcomed and can have a good impact on a person both inside and outside of jail. Studies have indicated that inmates who are granted frequent visits do better after their release from jail if the visitation privilege is utilized to sustain a good rapport.
<
<
Point #4
<
a. This research shows that the expert workshop participants selected eleven top priorities to stop threats to institutional security. Institutional security is directly threatened by understaffing, either in terms of quantity or quality.
<
<
b. The information management systems were implemented as a more affordable and thorough means of keeping an eye on the actions of prisoners. Additionally, improvements in perimeter security have occurred, involving a shift from employing people as observers to currently using all-inclusive electrical sensors.

Each student is required to complete the term project, which is a 15-20 page (not counting the cover, abstract, and reference page) research paper in proper APA format. In preparation for the paper, students will submit a thesis statement, an annotated bibliography, and a rough draft.
PROFESSOR NOTES ON PREVIOUS WORK SUBMITTED FOR YOU TO CONSIDER:
Thesis Statement: Great choice. Please be very specific in the standardization and all recommendations that you make.
Annotated Bibliography: Don’t forget your abstract to begin your paper. It should explain your paper’s goal. Your sources in the annotated bibliography should have been alphabetized as they are on the reference page. Also, you’ll need a well-developed section before the conclusion that explores prospective security training and its potential effectiveness and benefit. It will help set your paper apart from others that have covered this topic and already discussed the efficacy of current and newly implemented training.
ROUGH DRAFT: Please condense your abstract a bit more. It needs to be more concise. You don’t have to go into great detail in the abstract. You only have to detail the objective and goal of your paper to your reader. Also, your header should be in all caps. You may have to shorten it so that it doesn’t run over into the page number if placing it in caps increases the size. Proofread for common errors, such as missing commas, misspellings, and use of first-person writing.

Using APA format, write a six page (double-spaced) literature review, including all of the articles in the “Literature Review Readings” folder.
Conclude by discussing how you feel the literature can be improved upon, or else how these studies can be replicated in your area.
