How to plan for an interview or interrogation
Your discussion of planning should distinguish between planning for an interview from planning for an interrogation, as well as planning for the interview that turns into an interrogation.
Are there aspects of your plan that depend on the subject matter (e.g., a homicide versus a kidnapping)? If so, what are they? If not, what are they?
Prior to conducting an interview or interrogation, what aspects should be anticipated?

Overview
For this activity, you will critically analyze how those within your chosen population engage with your topic. You will identify what is already working well and opportunities for change. Completing this activity will result in a draft of the critical analysis section of your project. It also provides an opportunity to obtain valuable feedback from your instructor that you can incorporate into your project submission.
Directions
In this activity, you will consider the elements of your topic you can develop to encourage, promote, and transform conversations about diversity. Include diverse perspectives from varied sources to support your points. You should continue to gather the sources you will integrate into your final project, which include two resources from course materials and two resources from the library. Look to the SNHU Shapiro Library for assistance in finding evidence and resources from outside the course. For this activity, you will discuss how to collaborate constructively with your chosen population group. You will then describe at least one positive element related to your topic and, finally, one element that could benefit from change.
You are not required to answer each question below the rubric criteria but may use them to better understand the criteria and guide your thinking.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Integrate reliable evidence from varied sources throughout your paper to support your analysis.
It is important to draw from a more diverse pool of perspectives from varied sources to support the analysis. This is different from the Citations and Attributions rubric criterion.
Reliable evidence from varied sources should be interwoven throughout the paper itself, while citing and attributing sources will be represented as APA in-text citations and a reference list at the end of your work.
You will be evaluated on both criteria.
Discuss how you would constructively collaborate with your population to encourage their engagement with your chosen topic.
Consider how you would develop a dialogue with your population about the topic you have chosen. What are your ideas for supporting constructive and inclusive conversation and programs of engagement?
Describe at least one positive element within your topic that supports transformation.
What conversational and collaborative approaches have already been successful? Visualize how this positive element could have a ripple effect towards a transformative conversation about your topic. This is not simply your opinion but should be supported by reliable evidence.
If you do not think your topic has been engaged with positively or successfully, explain why you have come to this conclusion.
Describe at least one specific element within your topic that could benefit from change.
What potential opportunities are there to improve your topic? What could be done differently to encourage, promote, or transform your topic? Build off ways that your topic has been discussed and represented in the past. This is not simply your opinion but should be supported by reliable evidence.
What to Submit
Submit your short paper as a 1- to 2-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Sources should be cited according to APA style

For the term paper, your need to choose a one of the theories that we cover in the class and explain one or more types of crime. It is important to explain different aspects of the crime using your theory in a way that reader can see the application of the theory to illuminate that crime. You need to use scholarly materials to support your statements. The final product will be a 5-7 pages that will include the following: 1. General introduction of topic and explaining why you think it is important 2. Defining main concepts and arguments of your theoretical framework. 3. A brief analysis of your findings and a conclusion, 4- References and appropriate citations.

the community, rather than against it. But often, the operations and the actual employees do not reflect the communities being served.
How might including people from under-represented racial, gender and religious groups affect police departments (internally)?
How might affirmative action in hiring of police be useful in tackling bias against certain communities?
What is Problem-Solving Policing, do you think it has been effective in improving the relationship between police and the community? Why or why not? And how is Homeland security interrelated with community policing.
How might diversity in police forces contribute to tackling discrimination by law enforcement and improve the purpose of community policing?

CRIM Final Paper. 
Hello, 
Please find my syllabus, and readings attached. Note that my lecture notes must be somehow incorporated, but because there are many, I will send only the ones you require. Please go through the assignment and syllabus, and let me know what lectures you need to incorporate (terminologies, themes, etc) so I can send them to you. This goes for the readings as well. 🙂
Also, to have an idea of what the policy solution looks like for this class, I have attached my previous assignment (Policy brief). Please note that it is to have an idea of what to do and it is not a part of this assignment. 
Assignment Instructions:
This assignment combines aspects of previous assignments to assess your overall understanding of the materials and learning outcomes of this course. You must propose a policy solution to one of the issues discussed in the course, or otherwise demonstrably related to the course content and/or themes (i.e., criminal justice related). Your solution must be a criminal justice policy, or a policy with significant and clearly articulated criminal justice implications or relevance. Your proposed solution can be a completely novel policy, or it can be a revision of an existing policy or set of policies (the revision must be significant enough to be the subject of a paper of this length); it can even (but does not have to) combine elements of criminal justice policy with elements of other kinds of policy. Importantly, your policy must apply to a criminal justice issue, and take into account government infrastructure, in Canada (at the federal, provincial or territorial, or municipal level). 
Your paper must have the following components: 
• The context out of which the need for your solution arises: You must justify the need for this policy within contemporary social issues, public opinions or community needs, and policy shortcomings – in other words explain and defend the need for your solution. 
• Discursive considerations: How are you framing the problem that your solution addresses and how is this framing different from existing framings (i.e., framings in existing government approaches to this issue)? What dominant discourses and subjugated knowledges are you engaging, challenging, and/or adopting with this solution? 
• Theoretical engagement: In addition to practical considerations, you must justify your policy using theoretical tools (theory/ies and/or concept/s) drawn from course readings, and, if desired, other scholarly references, and apply them across or where suitable in the paper.
• What it involves: Describe what, exactly, your solution includes and involves. This may include a creative or visual layout for the policy such as a bill-like format, or a table. You must specify if your solution is a modification to an existing policy or set of policies (like how bills propose changes to various laws), or something completely new. As part of this you must also consider and explain how it fits into, or with, existing and relevant government structures, policies and/or procedures. 
• How it works: Explain how your policy solution would be implemented, including: whom it targets, regulates and/or affects; the geographical community, institution, organization, and/or level of government to which it applies; how it will be rolled out; and its anticipated effects/impacts.
• An introduction that gives a roadmap of your paper, and a conclusion that reiterates your key points and speaks to the importance of your proposed solution. 
Your proposed policy solution must be clear, creative, internally coherent, and appropriate for the problem and context identified. Your solution must also be your own invention – you cannot simply describe a criminal justice policy that is currently being introduced in Canada (e.g., a bill). If you want to do a police-related policy for your final paper, it must pertain to a different (not Toronto) municipal service, a provincial force, or the RCMP.
Your reference list must contain at least 12 references. Acceptable references include: at least 4 academic publications (i.e., not policy/legislative texts) from the course readings list; other academic publications including journal articles and books; existing pieces of legislation you are specifically using (e.g., specific Criminal Code sections, municipal regulations) – you are advised to use bills carefully (e.g., defend use or relationship if it did not become law); reports by government agencies, think tanks, or non-governmental organizations; evidence of public opinion, including website content, press releases, and social media content by advocacy/community organizations, as well as newspaper articles (but do not use newspaper articles for statistics or facts – use scholarly or other research reports, such as statistical reports from Statistics Canada, for this instead). 
Format: 
12 pages (max. 14; exclusive of reference list) double-spaced in length, Times New Roman font, with APA referencing for in-text citations and reference list (see guide in eClass). You must note the page number for all in-text citations, both for direct quotes and paraphrasing (for online sources without page numbers, write np). Block quotes (over 40 words) are allowed in an assignment of this length if they are well-chosen (i.e., paraphrasing would not suffice for some specific reason); in general however, you are urged to paraphrase in order to demonstrate your understanding of the issues discussed. 
You are expected to title your paper, and also to name your suggested policy solution (does not have to be significantly different from the name of your paper, but it can be). Be sure to include name and student number at the top of the first page of your essay – a title page is not necessary. 
Evaluation: 
You will be graded on the quality of your analysis and justification, including your application of theoretical tools, and your consideration of existing government policy and infrastructure, and current/relevant (e.g., community, crime) issues; the design of your solution, including its appropriateness, feasibility, timeliness, and cohesiveness; your creativity; your writing (including clarity, grammar, and spelling); and your APA referencing.
