What is a Peer-Reviewed Article?

Apeer-reviewed journal articleis a scholarly publication that has been rigorously evaluated by experts in the field to ensure its quality, reliability, and academic integrity. These articles typically include:

• Original research or empirical data.
• A clear methodology section outlining how the research was conducted.
• A thorough discussion of findings in relation to the existing body of knowledge.
• References to other scholarly works.

To ensure the articles you use are peer-reviewed, you can:

• Search using academic databases like the John Jay Library (check the peer-reviewed box) or Google Scholar.
• Look for journals published by recognized academic publishers.
• Confirm the presence of a peer-review or editorial board process on the journal's website.

Assignment: Pretend you are tasked with a commanding job in the criminal justice system. You have the ear of several high-ranking professionals that can actually implement what you are suggesting. Building from the weekly chapter activities develop five policy changes within the criminal justice system. What have we seen to be "nonsense" this semester? Begin by discussing the policy/program in detail. Then decide whether you would re-work the policy/program or ditch it all together? Why? How would you re-work it if that chosen? If ditched altogether, what would you implement instead? Be very specific and descriptive. Support your answer with sound reasoning and factual material. Remember all the propositions and theories we have looked at. (Hint: the theories all had additional readings posted with them that can be utilized) To complete this assignment the textbook (at least 5 citations) and other additional outside academic sources (a minimum of 5 peer-reviewed journal articles) will be required. You may wish to divide your paper into the five separate policies/programs you will be addressing. That is fine. Do not feel you must make them all blend together (unless you are discussing two similar policies/programs and that would be fine).

1. Chapter 1:Crime and Policy: A Complex Problem

2. Specialty Units and Their Impact on Victims and Offenders

3. Victims' Rights Programs and Policies: Should They Remain or Be Eliminated?

4. Improving Societal Safety Beyond Gun Bans

5. Rehabilitation in Criminal Justice: An Evaluation of Policies and Effectiveness
