Efficiency and Effectiveness

As you continue in your fairly new position as Sheriff, you realize the organization has developed a rather unfavorable reputation for inefficiency, ineffectiveness, and even corruption. You are determined to improve the organization's performance.

Prepare a 2- to 3-page report in Microsoft Word that will address these issues. Your report should cover the following points:

Begin your report by:

?Explaining the concepts of efficiency and effectiveness. Is it possible for an agency to exhibit one but not the other?

?What political consequences might result from an unfavorable opinion of your department?

?Describe how the Sheriff's department would measure efficiency and effectiveness.

?Are the methods of measurement likely to be the same in other criminal justice agencies?

?Define corruption and discuss how the managers and Sheriff can guard against it.

In addition to the above, one of the biggest issues that a Sheriff or Police Chief will have to deal with is an officer's involvement with violence. This could be in the form of excessive force during an arrest, domestic violence at home, or even suicide. You recall that in your studies you reviewed an article in the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Law Enforcement Bulletin entitled "Early Detection of the Problem Officer" (2005, July). Use the South University Online Library to locate this article.

In your report mentioned above, include on 2- to 3-page Microsoft Word document, a memo to the five commanders in your Sheriff's Department, instructing them to implement an "early-warning" system for intervening with at-risk officers. Your message should include:
?An explanation of the need for such a system.

?A discussion of warning signs to be on the lookout for, including identifying which behaviors most often indicate problems.

?Procedures for how to respond when these warning signs are noticed.

?Identify potential obstacles, objections, or political concerns to be overcome in order for your plan to be successful.

Support your responses with examples.

Cite any sources in APA format.

The Internet may be used for no more than 2 articles. Please include all copies of articles with the review. Type at least a 1 page commentary of the analysis of the article, including the name of the journal, political bias, if any, and if you agree or disagree with the article/issue. State your rationale not just an opinion. Always frame the issue as a contemporary one in our criminal justice system. Please make sure all copies of articles are emailed together with the reviews. If unable to include all articles in email, please notify me for fax number. Thank you.

PURPOSE: Students are required to write a research paper (literature review). The paper must be relevant to this course and deal specifically with the History of or some aspect(s) related to the History of Criminal Justice. The paper MUST include at least 5 peer reviewed scholarly journals. I recommend using the library databases such as EBSCO Host, Pro Quest and Sage. However, for this course let us simply concentrate on the standard research paper (literature review) format containing simply an abstract, introduction, body, conclusions and reference page in proper APA format. There's no need for you to comment on the world today or to express your feelings (Avoid: "I feel..." or "I think..." statements). The purpose of a research (term) paper is to objectively ANALYZE. Such a paper should look and feel scholarly, as if written for a highly educated SCIENTIFIC AUDIENCE, not your instructor, not your classmates, and certainly not for the general public. The aim of such a paper is to clearly and succinctly communicate the complex concepts and ideas of an academic discipline, and arrange those ideas systematically with some methodology, study plan, and analysis of supporting data or diagrams, followed by an appropriate scholarly discussion of the results and significance of what you analyzed, what could be further analyzed, and what directions for further research would be helpful to scholars.

LENGTH: The page length should be 5-8 double spaced pages (the cover page, abstract page and reference page do NOT count as part of the 5-8 required pages) and should be formatted in APA style with a minimum of 5 peer reviewed scholarly references.

GRADING: Please refer to the grading rubric below. General evaluation criteria include Neatness and being Error-Free (of errors in spelling, punctuation, and grammar). In addition your paper must be logical, must include quality citations, must be organized, well structured and provide substance. In addition, it is important to note the following critical aspects for your paper that if not completed correctly could result in a 0% despite the papers content and other evaluation criteria as noted above:

Your paper MUST be in proper APA format

Your paper MUST utilize APPROPRIATE references

You MUST avoid any form of Plagiarism at all costs

Using the book, Ethics, Crime and Criminal Justice (Second Edition) Williams, Christopher E. and Arrigo, Bruce A.,
answer the four following questions:

1) Examine the moral requirements of criminal justice. In your analysis examine the issues of authority, power, and discretion. In addition, examine the role of individual behavior and how it reflects on institutional morality and how the code of conduct impacts individual behavior. Defend your answer with research.

2)Examine the role of Morality and its relationship to life. In this discussion examine the relationship between ethics and laws and the possible conflicts that exist.

3) What is the relationship between value and ethics? What does it mean to say that a value can be instrumental of intrinsic? Police officers and prosecutors value discretion. Is this value a means to an end or an end in itself within the criminal justice system? Defend your answer.

4) Examine the concept of free will as a behavior. In this examination compare the other explanations for behavior biological, psychological and sociological. As a researcher which of the concepts do you subscribe to and why? Defend your position.


Make sure to answer each part of the question. One well written page per question is sufficient.

Question:

Describe the factors that have influence on the conceptualization and development of new criminal law and the alteration of existing criminal law. Include the specific roles of the political lobbyist, the media, citizen groups, the individual citizens and criminal justice agencies on this process.

Expectations:

Your answer should be well thought out, comprehensive, and include general references to books, articles, or other works that support your arguments. You need not quote source material directly as in a research paper. However, you should clearly articulate the essential points of the authors you incorporate into your answers. The average answer should be approximately 1300 words.

Pick one of these two topics and write an argument-driven paper on "Great Expectations" with plenty of close readings and textual evidence. By the paper's conclusion, the reader must have learned something new and/or surprising. Please present a very clear thesis, and always have it in mind when developing the body of the paper.

I'm requesting 7 sources, because it would be useful if you could do some research on what critics or others are saying about these topics, but you don't need to cite all 7 sources (although it could be useful if someone's reading can support your argument). This is primarily a close reading paper of Great Expectations itself, however.

1. Write a paper on the psychology of Pips relation to Biddy. Ho does the adult Pip use his account of their conversations to comment on his own youthful foly? How does Pip as a narrator manage to convey Biddys own feelings without giving us access to her consciousness? To what extent foes Pip (as a person and/or as a narrator) exploit Biddy? Is there any sense in which Dickens also exploits her?

2. We dont know what you have done, Joe tells Pips convict, but we wouldnt have you starved to death for it, poor miserable fellow-cretur. Write a paper in which you analyze Dickenss attitude towards crime and punishment in Great Expectations. In framing your argument you may want to consider one or more of the following questions: What do Pips descriptions of the various convicts he encounters suggest about Dickenss own perceptions of the humanity or inhumanity of the English criminal justice system? When do criminals become entertaining spectacles, and how does Dickens characterize the spectators? Are some types of crime more criminal than others?

Please let me know if you're stuck for any reason, or need help.

For this project, find an article in any national or local newspaper that describes any type of crime, e.g., narcotic sales, white-collar crime (fraud, insider trading), or cyber-crime (identity theft, network intrusion), and explain the underlying reasons for that crime by considering any of the theories of crime causation.

Write a 4-5 page paper addressing the following:

Describe the crime reported in the article.
Choose a theory from within one of the major theoretical perspectives (classical--i.e., free will--social organization, social process, or trait), which explains the criminal behavior.
Identifying and defining the theory will be the most important element of your paper. To support your conclusions, you must incorporate at least one of the theories of crime causation presented in Units 1-5. Note: This is a research paper that will demonstrate your ability to incorporate information beyond the scope of the course textbook. Consequently, you should read articles from trusted sources such as the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), the National Criminal Justice Reference Service (NCJRS); to name only a few.

Theoretical Explanations of Bank Robbery
John Doe
Introduction to Criminal Justice CJ246-11
December 07, 2004

Background: Discretion is the exercising of choice. Usually discretion involves a conscious, purposeful decision to disregard a directive, protocol, or normative behavior in favor of some alternative recourse deemed to be more appropriate to the current circumstance or condition. Discretion is fraught with risk, however. Deviation from direction may be construed as disrespect, disobedience, or worse. But a failure to identify the appropriate application of discretion may brand the leader as insensitive, unrealistic, or a martinet. The various elements and characters in the criminal justice system are replete with the opportunity (and the necessity) for the exercise of discretion, none more so than the law enforcement function. The role of the police administrator is doubly challenging, as he or she must determine how best to use discretion as well as encourage or dissuade discretion by subordinate members of the agency.

Project Assignment: You will submit a CONCEPT paper describing two discretionary situations for a police chief. The situations may focus on either operational issues (e.g., uniform patrol deployment, criminal investigation/arrest, traffic control, crime prevention, etc.) or administrative issues (e.g., disciplinary action, hiring, training, budget/procurement, public information, etc.). The exercise of discretion in one situation may be appropriate while being inappropriate in another.

For each situation, you will describe:

the situation, the controlling protocol, and the discretionary alternative(s)
the reasons supporting compliance with the controlling protocol
the justification for the exercise of discretion
the determination that discretion is appropriate/inappropriate, and why
In support of this project a minimum of two additional sources must be referenced in addition to textbook and course reading materials.

Format:

The submitted project must be a minimum of 3,000 words not including cover page and references page.

The cover page should include the name and number of the course, the name of the student, title of the project and the date of submission.

The composition narrative must be created using double spacing, 12 pt font, 1 inch margins.

Resources, including course materials, must be cited both in the narrative where appropriate and on a separate references page, using APA citation rules.

Read the chapter "Financial Administration" from the textbook. This chapter discusses elements of budget and various budget formats. The text book is "Justice Administration: Police, Courts, and Corrections Management Custom Edition, 5th Edition"

Based on your reading, write a paper in response to the following questions:
List four types of budget formats used in the past.
Which type is used most frequently? What are its major advantages and component parts?
Explain how criminal justice administrators supplement their budgets and how they attempt to stretch their limited resources.

Apply the concepts of organizational theory, organizational behavior, and organizational culture to make sound management decisions.

The Steelhead Police Department

The Steelhead Police Department, a medium-sized agency (40 sworn officers) has relatively recently hired a new police chief from outside the department after a nationwide search. He is bringing in many new ideas and innovations to the department. The new chief wrote a grant proposal and was awarded grant funding for new state-of-the-art soft body armor vests for all officers. Previous attempts to purchase and implement wearing of soft body armor by officers in this department had been unsuccessful.

You are assigned as a patrol lieutenant, one of the shift supervisors and watch commanders, supervising about ten officers. All patrol shifts rotate every four months. Because of your expertise as a firearms instructor the new chief selected you to research and draft a policy for mandatory wear of soft body armor by officers in the department. Obstacles you will, or may, encounter include opposition from the department's unionized line officers, complaints of medical issues to include rashes that prevent the wearing of the vests, heat-related factors, freedom of movement, freedom of choice, and about everything in between.

The links below provide resources to get you started on your work. The IACP guidance gives information on specifications, vendors, and other issues. The Delaware administrative labor relations hearing shows a case where a city lost attempting to implement mandatory wear without collective bargaining. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection has implemented a mandatory body armor wear policy for officers in uniform.

Ballistic Body Armor: A Chief's Refresher Course

Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge No. 15 vs. City of Dover, Delaware

California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection

Consider the following as you write an analysis of the actions you would take to create and implement this soft body armor mandatory wear policy:

Discuss the organizational theories that apply to law enforcement and criminal justice agencies.
Address arguments that can be raised against the policy to illustrate typical organizational behavior.
Suggest solutions to the arguments against the mandatory wear policy that take into account and describe law enforcement culture and this agency's unionized law enforcement culture.

Read Chapter 5 from the Manuscript on "Modern Systems of Criminal Justice in the West." On the basis of your reading this chapter, write an essay (3-4 double spaced, 12 fonts) comparing the sex offender registration and notification laws in the USA, Canada, and the UK (You can present a table/chart as a part of your essay to show the similarities and differences).

A classic study in Criminal Justice is the Stanford Prison Experiment. You can find information about the study at: http://www.prisonexp.org/. Note: You will find a lot of information about the experiment if you Google "Stanford Prison Experiment."

Your assignment must include:

A brief review of the study?s purpose. Is the study exploratory, descriptive, explanatory, or evaluative? Justify your answer.
A critique of how well the experiment complied with the ethical standards discussed in Chapter 2.
Your opinion about the study. Explain your answer.
Your analysis of whether the results can be generalized to another situation. Justify your answer.
Generalizability is that quality of a research finding that justifies the inference that it represents something more than the specific observations on which it was based. Sometimes this involves the generalization of findings from a sample to a population. Other times it is a matter of concepts: if you are able to discover why people commit burglaries, can you generalize that discovery to other crimes as well?

For example, would the observations made in the Stanford Prison experiment be the same if the subjects were middle aged females from New York rather than college students in California?

My research paper should be about the benefits of merging Parole and Probation in New Jersey.. Meaning, how can we improve the enforcement of court orders for Probation Officers if they had arresting powers. Since Probation Officers do not have arresting powers, probationers consider Probation Officers more like social worker, instead of a law enforcement officer like a Parole Officer. Probationers don't pay their fines, don't follow the court orders (fail to comply with court orders). The goal should be that by giving Probation Officers arresting powers like parole officers, we would have the probationers comply with what demanded from them. The US government uses this model. U.S. Probation Officers use this system in which the officer does both jobs and they are successful. A U.S. Probation Officer is a parole/probation officer. In the federal level they are considered law enforcement and in the state level particularly in NJ they are Court Officers. In New Jersey, Parole Officers perform supervision after a defendant has been released from prison, and a Probation Officer performs supervision as a court alternative to avoid sending someone to prison. They both perform monitoring jobs, the difference is the before and after part and both agencies belonging to different branches of the criminal justice system. Probation Officers belong to the Judicial brach of the state while Parole Officers belong to the Executive branch of the system.

Thanks.

Theories of Crime

Bob aged 17 has been labeled as a criminal or delinquent by his family as well as his school authorities and the court, for a crime he committed in school by stealing money from his teacher's purse. It has stigmatized him leading to a negative self-image that he has developed for himself. If Bob's case is handled informally and an immediate effort is made to get him out of the formal justice system, it will have a far more positive outcome. Based on the statement answer the following questions.

?Would it save Bob from acting as a criminal or a delinquent? How?

?Based on your research on labeling theory, is this the best thing for delinquents? Why? Provide scholarly citations and references to support your reasons.

?Is the social labeling theory flawless? If so, why? Justify your answer with examples and reasoning.

Keeping in mind that white collar crime criminals often receive much more lenient sentences than those judged guilty of street-level offenses, answer the following question.

?Using the relevant government reports, how are the current enforcement of laws dealing with white collar crimes (like insider trading, price fixing, false advertising, and environmental pollution) and the enforcement concerning street-level property crimes (theft, burglary, gang-related, etc.) related to the labeling theory and social conflict theory?

?Analyze and describe at least five behaviors that are considered acceptable today but were considered delinquent, criminal, or deviant in the past. Why? Provide examples and reasons for your answer.

?Analyze and explain at least five behaviors that are considered delinquent, criminal, or deviant today but were considered acceptable in the past. Why? Provide examples and reasons for your answer.

?Can we put a lot of emphasis on deviant, delinquent, or criminal behavior in the present day? Why? What are the implications of this on the criminal justice system? Justify your answer by providing real-life examples.
