  • “Policy in Action: A Mock Policymaking Presentation on Criminal Justice Reform”

    The presentation simulates real-world policymaking debates that routinely take place in the criminal justice system. It is commonly produced in response to a request directly from a decision-maker or within an organization that intends to change a position or strategy. As soon-to-be graduates with a degree in criminal justice, you need to practice researching policies, analyzing their efficacy, and summarizing this research in a short presentation. Thus, you will prepare a PowerPoint presentation of your policy report. For online classes or online presenters, the presentations will take place in Canvas; for on-campus classes or in-person presenters, the presentations will take place in the classroom. *Again, the topic of your presentation will be the same topic that you select to write about for your capstone research paper.
    Preparing Your PowerPoint Presentation:
    First, you do the research and draft your policy report. Once this is complete, you will prepare a 10-minute video recorded PowerPoint presentation. The presentations will be graded according to the rubric below (see below for the instructions on how to create your PowerPoint slides with video & audio).
    Structurally, your PowerPoint presentation should begin with a brief overview of your topic and connect it to the main policy goal (or problem) of the capstone policy report. Following this, you will need to synthesize the research that favors or disfavors the policies, strategies, or practices related to your topic. Based on this research review, you should conclude with a recommendation for policymakers and/or criminal justice agents to implement (including addressing common concerns that they will have, such as cost and public support). You are doing a mock policymaking presentation, so remember who your audience is as you create your slides and presentation notes.
