STEP 1: Imagine you are the CFO for criminal justice or a private security agency in your home state. You are tasked with developing and presenting an operating budget proposal to your agency director. Your starting point for the operating budget is the current year. You will then build an operating budget for the next year. STEP 2: Select a state, local criminal justice, or security agency from your home state. STEP 3: Research the most recent budget for that agency. Use the resource at the end of the assignment as an example of an operating budget and how to search for one online. STEP 4 Write a 525- to 700-word budget proposal that contains operating expenses and revenue. Include the following in your proposal: Your total budget, including operating expenses and revenue. This can increase or decrease by 5 percent. The total for your operating budget and special line items. If you include the special line items, they must equal the total of all your revenue sources, which is called a balanced budget. There should be no deficit or surplus budgeting. Increase or decrease any expenditure or fund source you like. Any increase or decrease should be related to the issues you list in your summary. Base your budget adjustments and issues on actual concerns your home state or local jurisdiction is experiencing. STEP 5: Insert a table in the budget recommendation that includes columns for the current year (your starting point) and the next year (your recommendation).

  • “Freedom of Religion and Medical Treatment Refusal in Canada: Examining Legislation, Doctrine, and Jurisprudence”

    The subject is : Freedom of religion and refusal of medical treatment in Canada. 
    Please note that the aim of the essay is not to summarize what has already been done, but to answer a particular question to which there is not necessarily an answer. The writer will therefore have to find a particular question on the topic to answer at the very end of the work and for which to offer solutions. 
    (1)I firstly need a detailed plan, including the research question, the importance of it and all sources seperated in 3 sections: Canadian legislation, doctrine and jurisprudence. This plan will then be approved by my supervisor. 
    (2)Once it is, the actual essay: 
    Must include an overview of Canadian legislation on the subject. It must also be based on Canadian doctrine on the subject and finally present concrete examples of Canadian jurisprudence. After having taken stock of the current situation, we must do a section on the major historical issues and then the current issues-challenges. It would be interesting to make some comparisons with other countries where the law is different (this part must be brief because the project must relate to Canada). Finally, at the very end I would like to include a section presenting a personal opinion on the subject and a perspective on the future.
    The sources format must be McGill. This is the link to the manual to follow for the format: https://nextcanada.westlaw.com/Browse/Accueil/ManuelcanadiendelarfrencejuridiqueGuideMcGill/CanadianGuidetoUniformLegalCitation10thEdition?guid=If3b9e53af51d511fe0440021280d79ee&transitionType=Default&contextData=(sc.Default)&VR=3.0&RS=cblt1.0 Please let me know if you’re able to open it.

  • Title: Understanding Intersectionality and its Impact on Society, Crime, and Criminal Justice

    After Reading Chapter 6 of your book and learning of the authors’ perspectives, and in your own words, answer the following questions. Be sure to elaborate by giving examples to support your position. Explain the concept of intersectionality and why one status is not more important than another. Why is it important to understand the interaction between one’s race, class, and gender? Provide specific examples and feel free to elaborate on other privileges as needed. How does privilege impact the study of intersection? The book explains that university students admitted through a legacy admission are not viewed as having an unfair advantage, while those admitted through affirmative action are. Why does society view legacy students as deserving and affirmative action students as undeserving? What are the advantages of viewing society, crime and criminal justice from an intersectional perspective? What are the disadvantages of failing to take the intersectional perspectives when viewing society, crime and criminal justice?

  • Title: Legal Analysis of Discrimination Cases under the ADA and Civil Rights Act

    David
    and Amy are brother-and-sister and live in Boca Raton, Florida. David
    is a writer, working on his first book. He had been employed as a police
    officer in Delray Beach, but left the force after being shot in the
    line of duty. As a result of the shooting, David is paralyzed from his
    waist down, and now uses a wheelchair.
    Amy is an event planner, having earned her degree in Event
    Management from Lynn University. She worked for Boca’s Best Party
    Planners, Inc. for two years, but lost her job when the company went
    bankrupt. She has an interview set up on Friday with Big Haas Country
    Club for their open event manager position.
    On Friday, David and Amy go their ways – David heads to the new
    Italian Yummy restaurant to meet a friend, Amy goes to her interview.
    When David arrives at Italian Yummy, he is shocked to see that
    all of the tables are high, bar-top tables. He asks Jerry Jerk, the
    manager, if there is a low table that he can use, accounting for his
    wheelchair. “Sorry, pal,” Jerk responds, “we feel badly about it, but we
    just don’t have any low tables. Don’t get many guys in wheelchairs in
    here, ya know, so we don’t really bother.”
    Amy’s interview actually goes worse than Adam’s attempt at lunch.
    Amy thinks that her interview with Barry Bigot is going quite well, as
    she determines that she is clearly well-qualified for this job.
    Suddenly, Bigot looks up from Amy’s resume and says, “Oh, wait, you went
    to Solomon Schechter Hebrew High School. You’re Jewish? Sorry, but we
    don’t hire any Jews. Thanks for coming in.”
    David and Amy each file lawsuits – David against Italian Yummy, Amy against Big Haas Country Club.
    Write a report giving the following for each of these cases:
    1) a complete overview of Title III of the ADA and Title VII of
    the Civil Rights Act, specifying each of the legal elements of
    discrimination to the facts of the case at hand;
    2) offer your opinion as to how each case should be decided AND why.
    The report shall be submitted in 12-point typed, double-spaced
    form. A report that does not follow this form will be deducted per the
    grading rubric. 1000 word minimum.

  • “Managing Prison Environments: Insights from Studies on Latino Prison Gangs, Rape Lore, and Coping Strategies”

    First, after reading and reflecting upon the article, “Texas Latino Prison Gangs,” what aspect of this study do you think would be the most helpful for prison and jail administrators? What is it, in particular, about this aspect of the study that you believe administrators could use in order to effectively manage their facilities? Be sure to elaborate; it must be evident that you have carefully reflected upon this article. Next, in the study, “Rape Lore in Correctional Settings,” Worley et al. focused on inmates’ awareness of prison rape. Based upon what all three of the articles you read this week, in your opinion, is prison rape a rare occurrence, or does it happen frequently? Please point to various aspects of the articles to bolster your argument. And, as you know from reading the article, “Adapting to Prison Life,” male inmates were asked to answer questions about how they coped with the pressures of incarceration. If female inmates were asked the same set of questions, do you feel the responses would be similar or different? Fully elaborate and explain your reasoning. Also, provide another possible way (not identified in the paper) of how inmates might cope with stressful prison environments. Finally, in your opinion, will prison gangs operate at more, less, or about the same frequency, as they do today, twenty years from now? Explain your reasoning.
