- The textbook identified three different perspectives that highlight the importance of criminal justice public policy studies. Define these three different perspectives. As part of the definition, explain how each perspective proposes moving research conducted in the field of criminal justice to a form of public policy. (Theoretical, Political, and Practical Perspectives)
- While related, the concepts of public policy and policy analysis have unique purposes. Define the concepts of public policy and policy analysis. Compare and contrast the role of both public policy and policy analysis in the creation of criminal justice policy.
- The course textbook identified four types of public policy. Identify and define two of the public policy types. Compare and contrast the ways in which these two public policy types influence criminal justice public policy.
- Define the concepts of substantive and symbolic policies. Compare and contrast the role and/or influence that each plays in criminal justice public policy.
- Define the concept of a special interest group. Evaluate the methods used by special interest groups to influence criminal justice public policy.
- External influencers of public policy are typically defined as those that are not officially associated with government and/or criminal justice agencies. Identify and define two different external influencers of public policy. Describe the methods used by each to specifically influence criminal justice public policy.
- Court rulings have the power to validate, alter, or nullify existing public policies. Identify and explain three key decisions made by courts that impacted public policy within criminal justice.
- Four specific forms of policing were highlighted in this unit. Define two of the forms of policing covered in this unit. Next, compare and contrast these forms of policing from both a social interaction and structural component perspective. (Traditional, community-oriented, problem oriented, and zero-tolerance policing)
- Based upon your knowledge of everything we have covered throughout the course, evaluate whether the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 was a substantive policy or symbolic policy.
- The executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government each play a role in the public policy making process. Utilizing the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 case study, identify at least one step in the process where each branch of government was involved. Explain the actions taken by that branch of government for each example provided.

The project for this course requires you to select one major criminal justice reform area that has evolved over the past 50 years and evaluate the role that public opinion and public policy played in the reform. As part of the evaluation, you will be expected to provide an overview of the evolution of public policy and opinion on the selected reform over the past 50 years. Examples of types of major criminal justice reforms that might be considered as topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Crime control policies
- Drug enforcement policies
- Policing strategies
- Sentencing guidelines
- Offender incarceration (punitive vs. rehabilitative approach)
- Community corrections
- Juvenile justice
- Victim rights
Please submit part 1 of the project and wait for the response on updates before completing part 2 and the same thing with the Final.
Part 1 Project due 2-1-16
Overview and Annotated Bibliography
Part 1 of the Final Project includes both an overview of the research project and an annotated bibliography. In the overview section, you must identify the criminal justice reform that will serve as the basis for your research project and briefly describe what specific areas or topics will be included as part of the examination of this criminal justice reform. The overview section should be no more than two pages in length.
The annotated bibliography must include a minimum of six scholarly resources that you plan to utilize in the research paper. Each resource must be formatted per APA (6th ed.) guidelines and include a brief description of the information included in the resource and why it is relevant to the research project. You will be allowed to utilize more scholarly resources in the final research paper as appropriate. The intent of the annotated bibliography is to demonstrate that you are headed in the right direction with your research for the paper.
Part 1 of the Final Project should be approximately 4–5 pages in length (2 page overview, with the rest dedicated to the annotated bibliography), not counting the cover and reference pages.
Your annotated bibliography should:
- Summarize the sources: What are the main arguments? What is the point of this book or article? What topics are covered? If someone asked what this article/book is about, what would you say?
- The annotations for each source should be written in paragraph form. Do not exceed 300 words per annotation. Try to be concise and succinct.
- Be formatted per APA (6th ed.) guidelines
Part 2 Project
Criminal Justice Reform History
Part 2 of the Final Project includes the section of the research paper focused upon the history of the criminal justice reform. In this section, you will (1) identify and discuss the issues that are included with the selected reform, (2) provide a narrative timeline describing how the reform has evolved over the past 50 years, and (3) briefly discuss the relevance of this criminal justice reform to public policy making, specifically within the field of criminal justice.
Please note that you are only briefly discussing the connection between the selected criminal justice reform area and public policy making in the last part of this section of Part 2 of the project. A full discussion on the topics highlighted in item 3 above will be included in the final paper. More information about this is provided in the Final Project section of this Course Project description.
In addition to the textbook, you must incorporate at least four other scholarly resources in these sections of the research paper. You are encouraged to at least use some of the scholarly resources that were submitted as part of the Annotated Bibliography in Part 1 of the Final Project.
Part 2 of the Final Project should be 5 – 7 pages in length, not counting the cover and reference pages.
Final part Project
During Unit VII, you will submit the Final Project. The Final Project will consist of the following components: (1) Overview section submitted during Unit III; (2) Criminal Justice Reform History section submitted during Unit V; and (3) Evaluation of the role public opinion and public policy played in the evolution of the selected criminal justice reform. Information presented in each section should be supported with scholarly resources. Sections of the Final Project that were previously submitted in Units III and V must include any updates that were recommended by the course instructor as part of feedback given during previous reviews of these sections. The final section of the paper, Section 3 – Evaluation, will be created and submitted with the Final Project. While the level of detail in each section of the Final Project will vary, it is anticipated that Section 3 will be approximately 3–5 pages in length. This should result in a Final Project (Parts 1, 2, and 3) that is 10–14 pages in length, not counting the cover and reference pages. Please review the general guidelines for papers to obtain a description of other formatting requirements.
