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).
