Is political influence pervasive within criminal justice organizations? What can be done about this? Is it illegal?

Would you consider hiring practices by the police to be of paramount importance, e.g., hiring officers that are representative of the community they serve?

Is there value in police officers having attained some level of higher education, e.g., Bachelor’s degree minimum?

Throughout the semester, we will be discussing several topics each with their own strengths, weaknesses, and policy implications. Beginning in Week 1 You will be introduced to the Semester Project. You will work on this project at your own pace. You will submit a minimum 1,500 to 2000-word essay (not to include an abstract, cover page, or references). Your essay will be graded via a Rubric. The Rubric serves as your Scoring Guide so make sure you follow it. You will submit your paper in “WORD.” Please do not attempt to submit a paper in a PDF format, it will not be accepted.

Students should develop an abstract. For this essay, the abstract should be between 50 to 100 words. The abstract will be located right after your title page (page 2 in your essay, the title page is page 1, etc…). The abstract is a concise summary of your essay. An abstract must be fully self-contained and make sense by itself, without further reference to outside sources or to the actual paper.

Basics: Number pages in order, starting with the Title Page.
