please watch :the plea” documentary https://www.pbs.org/video/frontline-the-plea/ I have added that time into the payment I only need 2 pages not 3 the 3rd is the money you would be spenind watching the documentary. I will add the title page, but if you could add the refrences you use 
Directions: Documentary reflections are meant to provide you with an opportunity to critically
analyze the material presented in the documentary and relate it to what we have discussed in
class and read in the textbook. Essentially, your documentary reflections will discuss how each
specific documentary has shaped your views on each of these topics/issues. With many of these
documentaries, you will notice that there are many themes and issues to consider. It is up to you
to decide which issues/themes you would like to analyze further in your documentary reflections.
Basically, each documentary reflection should include ALL of the following:
(a) a brief summary of the topics/issues discussed in the documentary, including
specific facts and quotes that demonstrate that you watched the documentary
(b) a discussion on how this topic and the issues discussed relate to the course
material
(c) a detailed discussion of your opinion on the issue(s) discussed
(d) a discussion on the policy and practice implications of the issue discussed in the
documentary
(e) the use of additional information from at least one outside scholarly source to
support your opinion on the topic discussed. Please note that all of the documentaries
that you will be watching for these assignments are from PBS Frontline. PBS Frontline
typically includes very effective and interesting additional materials on the topic. I would
recommend using some of these materials as your additional resources but you are not
limited to these resources. If you choose to, you may utilize other additional, scholarly
sources.
EXAMPLE: If we watch a documentary on solitary confinement, you would:
(a) explain the history and use of solitary confinement in the United States, discuss the pros
and cons of long-term solitary confinement and discuss the many issues associated with
long-term solitary confinement
2
(b) relate what we have discussed in class and what you have read about in your textbook on
solitary confinement to the documentary
(c) provide your opinion on whether long-term solitary confinement should be used in the
U.S.
(d) explain what you believe policy makers, criminal justice professionals and the legislature
can do to “fix” solitary confinement in the United States if you believe it does in fact
need to be fixed
(e) locate and use information from at least one other scholarly source that supports your
own opinion on solitary confinement.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Remember, one of the main purposes of documentary reflections is to
get students to think critically about an issue facing the criminal justice system. Therefore, your
critical analysis should make-up most of your reflection. Although you are asked to provide a
brief summary of what the documentary was about, please note that simply writing about what
the documentary was about is not sufficient.
Below is a list of prompts to help you get started. Please note that these questions are not meant
to be an exhaustive list of questions to consider when developing your documentary reflections
and you do not have to answer all of these questions; they are simply prompts to help you start
writing in case you cannot think of anything to write about.
1.) Before watching the documentary, you may want to consider what you already know about
the topic from past experience, research or courses. This will allow you to better gauge how the
documentary has shaped your opinion about this topic.
2.) What was this documentary about? Please provide a brief summary of the documentary.
3.) What are the major themes and points of this documentary?
4.) What did you find most interesting about this documentary?
5.) What parts of the documentary did you agree with (if any) and why do you agree?
6.) What parts of the documentary did you disagree with (if any) and why do you disagree?
7.) Is there anything that you think could have made this documentary better?
8.) How do the issues and themes discussed in the documentary relate to class materials (i.e.
textbook reading, lectures, class discussions, etc.)?
9.) What did you learn from this documentary?
10.) How has this documentary shaped your view on the issues discussed?
3
11.) What are some policy and practice implications of the information discussed in this
documentary? In other words, what can policymakers, criminal justice practitioners, the
legislature, or the public in general do to fix the issue(s) discussed?

Discuss the differences between the three major approaches surrounding collection and analysis of data, i,e., quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods. As well as, describe the design of scientific inquiry that may go with each method i.e., survey, narrative, phenomenological, ethnographic, grounded theory, or case study and why it would be selected. Then address which method and design you think you would prefer to use to conduct research and why. Use one online resource to complete this post.

You are to write a 400-500 word short essay responding to the following:
Should prosecutors be able to prosecute cases without victim cooperation? If so, how? Should they force victims to testify and penalize those who refuse if the case merits aggressive prosecution? Can sufficient evidence be obtained to ensure victim cooperation is not needed?
Your paper or video should reflect in-depth research and your research must include at least two scholarly sources.

Which part of Gottfredson and Hirschi’s theory do you find the most believable? Which part of
their theory do you think is incorrect? Explain why. Please provide sources and citations from the book to support your answer.

The readings discuss theories of offending that focus on different causes: family (ch. 8), schools (ch. 9), peers (ch. 10), communities (ch. 12), strain (ch. 13), and learning processes (ch. 14). Chapter 17 discusses the idea that the causes of the onset of delinquency may differ from the causes of persistence in or resistance from it. What cause of offending do you think may be the most important? Defend your reasoning using the course materials. (In your posts, be sure to explain your reasoning, to draw on the readings and the introductory notes. Please provide sources from the book and citations in your discussion post.

Criminologists have introduced a number of theories that attempt to explain why juveniles engage in acts of delinquency. Some of these theories focus on the social environment in which the juvenile resides while others believe the types of social interactions a juvenile has can influence their decision to engage in delinquency.
In your initial post, discuss whether you believe the theories related to one’s social environment or societal interactions best explain why juveniles engage in acts of juvenile delinquency. Next, select a theory out of these two groups that you believe best explain juvenile delinquency. Briefly describe the premise of the theory you selected, and then explain why you believe it most accurately explains why juveniles engage in acts of delinquency. Support your response with current, scholarly research that has been published within the past 5-10 years. The more recent, the better. Refer to the readings below.

1. Plain View: 
You and your partner are working the midnight shift. You stop a car for having no taillights. The car is properly registered, and the male driver has a valid driver’s license and insurance. Your partner tells you this person “gives him a bad feeling” and subsequently orders him out of the car. Your partner searches the car and finds a handgun under the front seat; he arrests the driver. At the station, the serial number of the gun is run through the computer and a hit is received indicating the gun was used in a homicide. When confronted with this, the suspect confesses. Your partner, knowing the search was illegal, fears the evidence of the gun and confession will be inadmissible in court. Your partner says he is going to write in the report that the gun was in “plain view” and tells you to go along with this so a murderer will not be back on the street. What would you do? Explain your answer and provide support from the text.
2. The False Report
You and a senior officer are on routine patrol. You come across a juvenile whom you have repeatedly seen in and out of court. You personally know him to have been involved in a total of six property crimes. You are tired of seeing him go through the “revolving door” of justice. Your partner suggests you file a false report on him. After all, the kid’s “got to pay” for his actions. Right?

**The local area could be somewhere in California preferably Reforming and improving the criminal justice system to address issues in policing and improve community relationships is an important current area of focus. While many police departments, correctional facilities, and court systems have processes where they routinely enact changes to their policies and procedures, future reforms are inevitable and can begin at the individual level.
Criminal justice professionals must always demonstrate professionalism, including when facing peers, senior officials, and the public to advocate for changes in the system. The mayor of a city in your area wants to make changes to the criminal justice system in response to an issue that has been worsening. Due to that, you and other representatives from various agencies and communities have been invited to speak at an upcoming city council meeting to propose and advocate for reforms that would be most beneficial to the city to improve this issue.
PreparationDetermine 1 issue within the criminal justice system in the United States of America that could benefit from reform. Select an issue supported by recent data trends. Refer to the following resources to select your issue:
Review the 6 pillars of recommendations on positive justice reforms from the Final Report of the President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing from the Office of Community Oriented Policies Services (COPS).
Research trends using the FBI’s Federal Bureau of Investigation Crime Data Explorer website or the All Data Analysis Tools page on the U.S. Department of Justice BJS website.
Research reforms to the criminal justice system in your area that have been proposed or implemented for positive changes related to the issue you selected.
Select 1 positive reform to use as an example for this assessment.
Investigate the following roles in the successes of the reform movement you selected: legislative efforts, police unions, agency policy, social media, and community and nonprofit partnerships.
