Category: Criminology

You are working for a juvenile justice non-profit organization. You hear a news story about how the juveniles in your community are starting to cause problems. These problems are beginning to overload the juvenile court system. There are several theories that explain why juveniles become delinquent. Some of the sociological theories include:
Anomie
Social disorganization
Drift theory
Differential association theory.
Locate a sociological theory (it does not have to be one of the theories listed previously). Explain that theory with its relation to juvenile delinquency.
Please note that sociological theories relate to society and external influences over a juvenile, not psychological influences (which relate to internalization within a person) or biological influences (which concern physical problems).
Once you decide on a theory, write a 800-1000 word essay addressing the following:
Describe how it relates to juveniles by explaining what the theory believes causes the juvenile problems.
Think about what you could do working in a juvenile justice non-profit and explain what you could do in your position to aid in addressing the problem. 
Your essay should follow APA format. The first part should define the sociological theory. The second part should provide details about addressing the problem. Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.

Many practices of American Police and Sheriff’s Department are rooted in the historic pattern of disinclination. Both history and current events demonstrate that law enforcement agencies routinely disproportionately arrest, ticket, and stop minorities in relationship to their percentage of the community’s population.
In order to address these inequities, police reform was required. A variety of methods to implement these reforms have been employed. These methods include consent decrees between the Department of Justice and the local agencies, reforms imposed by legislation, and voluntary reforms by the agency itself.
Of course, the durability of these reforms is one of, if not the most important aspect of the reforms.
With these broad concepts in mind, please address the following:
Identify a police department that has been subject to a consent decree that has been in effect for at least five years, or has been concluded.
Discuss the underlying events that led to the consent decree. While there is usually a specific incident that drives the consent decree, that is almost certainly not the first one. Be sure to examine the history that led up to the consent decree.
Compare two of the most important provisions to the underlying causes of the consent decree. Discuss how these provisions are meant to address the failings of the agency.
Use the UMGC Library, as well as other credible sources to find information to  support your discussion of whether or not the consent decree has successfully addressed the concerns it was intended to reform, and if the results are durable. Be sure to address where the consent decree has succeeded, and where it has failed.
Discuss, with academic article support, how the consent decree has affected the agency’s relationship with the community. In addition to statistical information, such as crime rates, number of citizen complaints, and homicide closure rates, also include the opinion of the community stake holders.
Compared to before the time of the consent decree, discuss the overall effect of the consent decree on the relationship between the law enforcement agency and the community.

This writing assignment will be a 3-4 page sociological autobiography. Using theoretical frameworks and concepts from the readings, as well as your understanding of the Sociological Imagination, identify how your social background has influenced your understandings, connections, and beliefs about the causes of crime.
Answer the following questions in your essay: 
1. How has your neighborhood, social class, education, race/ethnicity, gender and other social factors influenced your individual experiences (or lack) with the criminal justice system?
2. How has your background limited and/or enhanced your understanding, experiences, and beliefs about the causes of crime?
3. What criminology theory discussed this semester most aligns with your personal background and experiences? Define the theory and explain why. 
4. How do you think your own experiences are similar and/or different from other individuals within society?
5. Why do you think it’s important to critically analyze your own individual background when discussing the causes of crime, and solutions to, crime within society?
• You will be required to directly connect at least three course readings (such as book chapters and assigned articles) to your analysis. These connections can be in the form of examples and specific references to the course readings. Other references, such as films, news articles, or other outside sources do not count towards your three course readings. 
• Essay Three is required to be 3-4 pages. Your essay must be formatted in Times New Roman font (size 12) and double-spaced. Please use APA citation throughout. Your works cited page is not included in your 3-4 page count.

Hi there, this is two different assignments. There is no page limit, could be one or two as long as the directions are followed. Two different assignments. One file for each and directions for each. Building a Case #1
Topic for assignment: The criminal justice system in the United States should implement community policing. Directions:
This assignment will require you to review and research the proposition above. You have files in the files section of Canvas that will allow you to do the assignment. As you are reading your articles, think about how they relate to the Stock Issues. If a paragraph identifies a harms argument, highlight that section of the article so that you can come back to it later. (I found it best if you take an article and copy and paste it onto a word doc so that you can place notes or comments on the article).
Once you have identified your harms, inherency, and solvency information in the article, you are ready to complete this assignment. Formatting
Please use the sample from the previous slide to guide you. You finish production should look similar. Whenever you are referencing evidence from an article, you need to take the whole paragraph. If you are referencing information across two paragraphs, you will take both paragraphs. Then highlight and bold the parts of the paragraph(s) that best identify the argument you are making. Make sure that when you highlight and bold a paragraph(s), you are not going against the author′s intent. Meaning, if the author is saying, ″the government should not raise taxes,″ and you only highlight the following ″the government should not raise taxes,″ you would not be conveying the author′s intent, and your grade would suffer.
After you have copied and pasted the block of text and highlighted the information that you want to use to complete your arguments, you are ready to write your claims. Remember, we are following a policy stock issue paradigm. When you are constructing a case, you will follow harms, inherency, plan, and solvency patterns. So, you must have a harms claim, an inherency claim, a plan of action, and a solvency claim in that order.
Once you have completed your claims, the block of text with the key information highlighted and bolded, you are ready to insert your citation in the middle of the claim and the block of text. The citation should consist of the author′s name, the author′s credentials (if it helps your argument), date of publication, the publisher, title of the article, and the URL or DOI number. Case #2 6:4 Reaction Assignment – Construct an Advantage to Your Case Assignment: Construct an Advantage for Your Case Overview After completing the Building a Case Using Harms, Inherency, Plan, & Solvency assignment, you are ready to complete your Affirmative Constructive Case by adding an Advantage. You will be required to add an advantage position to the case you completed in Module 700, Sample – Harms, Inherency, Plan, Solvency [add Advantage]-1.docx Download Sample – Harms, Inherency, Plan, Solvency [add Advantage]-1.docx. Please review the lecture and Advantage Sample before you attempt to complete this assignment.
Instructions: Step One: Conduct your research.
I recommend reading a couple of articles and looking for particular arguments in the article that would support your uniqueness, internal link, impact, and link. Outline your argument by forming the Claim arguments for each position in your Advantage: uniqueness, internal link, impact, and link. Remember, uniqueness should be a different issue that your HARM argument doesn′t cover. For example, on the education topic, if the HARM is teen pregnancy, the uniqueness claim in the Advantage could not be about teen pregnancy. The internal link discusses what happens in the status quo if the problem in the uniqueness goes unsolved. The impact discusses why whatever you discuss in the internal link is bad.
The link discusses how passing the PLAN would solve the problem discussed in the uniqueness. Once your claims are complete, add the evidence from the articles.
Formatted the same way as you see in the examples. Don′t forget to add the author information, highlighting, and bold font.
Remember, you have to add at least one paragraph. If you get information from two consecutive paragraphs, you must include the entirety of both paragraphs.

You will write a critical book review of the book (The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness by Michelle Alexander) You will give an overview of the book’s total impression and what the author is trying to accomplish by writing the book. Then you will use specific examples from the text to demonstrate whether or not the author has or has not accomplished their goal. Then you will wrap the paper up reflecting on your reaction to the book. 
THE ONLY SOURCE BEING USED SHOULD ONLY BE THE BOOK.
The review will examine the book’s content and methodology. Do not give me a book report. I am asking for an analysis of the information presented by the author. I prefer you avoid quotes unless paraphrasing the information will detract from what the author is saying. If you use ANY source other than the actual text itself, then you must provide a Reference Page and in-text citations. A Cover Page is required. Make sure to have each page numbered. The paper will be in APA format, double-spaced, 12pt font, including a Cover page and in-text citation from the book.
