I have already started writing the essays dn picked the first question to write an essay about and a few references i found that could relate to the subject. I have attached my assignment task.
In this essay we will be discussing how moral panics are often centred around people who are marginalised in society due to their race, ethnicity, sexuality, class, nationality or religion. We will review the differences between regular panic and moral panic and provide examples of what these could be. A case study about drugs will also be discussed and a moral panic incident that started in the 1970s and peaked in the late 80s early 90s called “The War on drugs”.
A moral panic is a public issue that has happened that has caused alarm and anxiety for people as the issue could change the standards of society and potentially change laws depending on the situation. An example of a panic could be “Mods and Rockers” that has been discussed by Cohen, S. (2011) However, regular panics are panics that are not serious enough to worry the public but something that some people could still debate.

You are assigned as a Prison Administrator (Warden/Superintendent) and are tasked to design an education and vocation department for your facility. You can decide if it is a male or female facility. Your resources are unlimited. What courses or vocational trades would you include in your curriculum? Why?

This assignment has two parts. In part 1, you will review scenarios and answer questions related to empowerment for each person. In part 2, you will answer questions about empowerment and delegation.
Part 1: Scenarios
Read each scenario and answer the question that follow in at least 90 words in preparation for part 2.
Nancy Walters
Nancy is an administrative assistant in a prosecutor’s office. For most of her two years with the office, she has served as a receptionist and a file clerk. She has been attending paralegal school for the past six months. Noted for her satisfactory performance, especially as a multitasker, she has made an effort to learn about the duties of other staff positions. Nancy has approached you, the chief prosecutor, about wanting to take on other responsibilities she believes would provide her with more job satisfaction. She specifically requests to help the assistant prosecutors put their case files together. Nancy believes she can do this when there is little activity at the receptionist’s desk.
• Would you empower Nancy to take on additional responsibilities? Why?
Richard Smyth
Some of the supervisors at the police department believe Richard has an “attitude problem.” He constantly complains; however, sometimes he has legitimate points. He has been with the agency eight years and does his job, but can’t keep his mouth in check. His superiors remember when he was very active and performed at a very high level. He always comments negatively when one of the “young guns” is promoted or receives a commendation for excellent work. A supervisor suggests to you, the patrol division commander, that perhaps Richard needs a significant project or responsibility to pursue. The supervisor argues Richard has the talent and experience to do just about anything. Perhaps showing a little trust in him and focusing his energy away from criticizing others would help reduce his negativity.
• Would you empower Richard? Why? If yes, how would you identify an enterprise for him to pursue?
Angie O’Reilly
Angie has been a patrol officer for three years. She has a strong desire to be a detective. While her only formal training has been completion of the recruit academy, she has shown a willingness to follow up on details for the investigative division. Her legwork in her free time on patrol has helped detectives who did not have time to go out in the field. Currently, there are no open positions in the investigative division.
• Is there a way to empower Angie to take on more investigative responsibility?
Steve Morris
You are the new police chief on a small college campus. Steve is the assistant police chief. You have four sergeants, each supervising a patrol team of four officers. Most of the officers have college degrees. The department is busy during the fall, less so in the spring, and very quiet during semester breaks and the summer. You realize Steve is overloaded with administrative responsibilities. He creates work schedules, reviews officer reports, hires and monitors student workers, maintains the property and evidence room, keeps the log of incidents on campus for review by the media and the public, liaises with all the fraternities and sororities, and conducts training. You need him to work on a comprehensive overhaul of the campus parking plan, but he doesn’t seem to have the time.
• Is there a way empowerment and delegation can rectify this situation?
Part 2: Empowerment and Delegation in Criminal Justice
Write a 700- to 1,400-word paper in which you discuss the following:
• Explain the process of empowerment and delegation in criminal justice organizations. Include the role of trust related to delegation and empowerment.
• Analyze the implications of empowerment and delegation in a criminal justice organization. In what ways does the organization benefit?
• Discuss whether employees in the scenarios are ready for empowerment. Incorporate your responses to each scenario from part 1.
Include at least four peer-reviewed references.
Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.
Submit your assignment.

Your paper should be a minimum of five (5) pages and a maximum of seven (7) pages, typed, double spaced, 12 point font, 1’ margins. These two short writing assignments will provide you with flexibility to express your opinions regarding critical issues in police administration.

instructions attached there are TWO different parts to this assignment please separate the first part from the second part.
thank you

1. Becker argues that deviants are only deviants because society labels them so – is there a way to achieve order in society without labeling certain people as deviant?
2. How do we account for people who came from environmental contexts where deviance is practiced (e.g., family, community, peer)and DO NOT Model the same behavior? Does this undermine Social Learning Theory entirely?
3. Is crime ultimately a product of poor morals as Kohlberg suggests? What are the problems with that perspective?
4. Which is more to blame for criminal behavior: internal developmental issues or external events?
5. How responsible is siege mentality for such conflicts.
Limit response to 200 or a little over 200 words. Thanks.
Attached are files pertinent for the assignment.

Reply to the attached discussion post.  The original discussion topic was: 
“Articulate the importance and usefulness of focus groups. Compare and contrast the role of ethnographies and case studies in data collection.”

Answer each prompt in 100 words or more.
1. Why did the Quakers of Pennsylvania support the use of imprisonment?
2. How could Elmira inmates earn release to a guardian, the forerunner of a parole officer?
3. Examine the role of the British in India (or South Asia as a whole) during the imperial age (ca. 1800-1914 CE). Why were the British able to control this region during this time? Was this British control detrimental or beneficial to South Asia overall?

As you study DNA, you find that every person’s DNA is different from another’s. Identical twins are the only people whose DNA is the same. Consider your parents and your siblings. Even though your brother and your sister have the same parents, it is unlikely that you look exactly like them unless you are identical twins. You may have common features, and you will all share common DNA among yourselves, but only identical twins will have the exact same DNA. DNA testing is used for many reasons, such as the following:
Identify potential suspects whose DNA may match evidence left at crime scenes
Exonerate persons wrongly accused
Match organ donors
Assignment Guidelines
Address the following in 4–5 pages:
In your first case, you have been asked to list and explain the steps that you would use to identify and analyze DNA from a person who has been in prison for 10 years. The results of your test may exonerate the person.
Once the physical evidence has been delivered to the forensics lab, what is the process of identifying DNA? Be specific, and explain in detail.
Consider that the evidence is over 10 years old.
Once the DNA evidence has been identified, what is the process of analyzing the DNA? Be specific, and explain in detail.
What challenges exist that can make your analysis inadmissible in court? Explain.
How are tissue matches made? Explain.

Why is it that some methods may be preferred over others? Explain.
