For this project, you will develop a proposal for a field test to design, implement, measure, and evaluate a problem-oriented policing crime reduction program in a major US city of your choice. Using publicly available crime and demographic statistics, you will apply methods and techniques learned to develop the design of the field test so that if implemented, one could measure the effects on the crime rate.

Submit a comprehensive literature review with 3 sections:

1. Identify and explain a specific Criminal Justice Problem (e.g. type of crime, a resource need, etc.) or program related to problem-oriented policing. 
2. Research and evaluation in criminal justice (general criminal justice, policing, law enforcement, or crime reduction) that relate to the problem or program identified in Section 1.
3. Conclusions about applying research and evaluation in problem-oriented policing that synthesizes the information gathered

A literature review is not a simple summary of articles but rather should describe, analyze, and synthesize relevant articles to develop new interpretations and reach conclusions. For this activity, a minimum of 5 articles are required for problem-oriented policing and 5 articles for criminal justice research and evaluation. For sections 1 and 2, you should briefly present the articles, synthesize them, and reach a conclusion. In section 3, integrate the conclusions from sections 1 and 2 to generate conclusions about how research and evaluation can be applied to problem-oriented policing.

Write the literature review in 2000 words of narrative in a Word document. Follow the APA style for editing and citations. Please note that work cited page and cover page words do not count.

•  examine the effectiveness of the two (2) employment law that you deem to be the most influential. Support your response with two(2) current case involving the chosen law.
•  select two (2) negative or adverse cases filed against any organization. Then, decide on a better method that the organization could have used to prevent the negative or adverse outcome. Explain the rationale for your described method.

Assignment Details 

In Unit 1, you learned about the development of policing in the United States. In the readings for Unit 2, you learned about several key reform periods that have taken place throughout the service with a specific focus on three specific eras (political, professional, and community-oriented).  

To help you understand these reform periods, you are going to explore the first national attempt to reform and improve policing and the delivery of services to communities. Following several high-profile corruption scandals, rising social tension, and riots, then President Johnson formed the President’s Task Force on Police. The final report, published in 1967, held considerable information on the state of policing, specific issues and challenges, and key recommendations.  

In this discussion, you will discuss the report, with a focus on the key issues and challenges facing police agencies at this time, how they came to exist, and what impeded many of those key recommendations from being implemented.  

The specific steps are as follows:

1. Read Task Force Report: The Police (1967). 
2. Write an initial post that identifies the 3 key issues and challenges that most resonated with you.  
3. Additionally, in this initial post, identify 1 recommendation that you believe was incredibly important. Explain your selection, and then research to see if this implementation was successful at a national level.  
4. Lastly, identify an issue, challenge, or recommendation that you believe was not overcome or implemented. Explain your selection.   
5. Reply to classmates explaining why you agree or disagree with their examples

Anticipate what business law may look like 20 years from now and give your opinion on what you believe students will need to know in order to be successful in the field. Provide a rationale for your response.

Prepare a legal brief on the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Kentucky v. King, 563 U.S. ___ (2011) which can be found at this link.

The case brief will be graded on the rubric in the student resources section under case brief. Please carefully review the rubric before you start the assignment. Please attach your brief to this assignment as a word document. 

By briefing a case, you are reading the entire court opinion then summarizing it into your own words so that the important information from the brief is easier to understand and remember. 

Legal case names should be done in standard “Blue Book” format. Example:

York v. Smith, 65 U.S. 294 (1995). For further information see http://www.law.cornell.edu/citation and look under the “How to Cite” section. In addition see the web resource section for this course and click on the folder marked “how to brief a case”.

*** Please review the materials in the Resources section of the classroom under the Case Brief folder. These will be useful to you because they instruct (“How to..”) students about the case briefing process, shows the relationship between the Opinion and the brief (Opinion and Model Case Brief), and then enables you to see the relationship between the case brief and the grading process (Rubric).  Case briefs are used to highlight the key information contained within a case for use within the legal community as court cases can be quite lengthy. When writing case briefs, all information must be properly cited.  Make sure you are not copying and pasting from your source. Most of the material should be paraphrased; quotations should make up no more than 10%  of the brief.  Note: since the purpose to is highlight and summarize key information, merely copying and pasting from the case does not accomplish this goal. You must summarize the facts in your own words, using quotations sparingly.
