Criminal Justice
The author of this report has been asked to speak to a number of questions involving criminal justice.

The public agencies such as the judge, the police and so forth work to corral criminals and convict...

However, there are others that say that private groups are entirely too profit-focused and they focus more on warehousing as many people as they can in as tight a space as they can so as to maximize the money they make off of the contracts that they garner. This can create an issue as the conditions and the way in which the prisoners are handled is seen as strongly linked to how well (or how poorly) the convicts behave when they are locked up. Certainly, the private consortiums that help jail people are not creating the crime that is occurring, choosing the sentencing that the people are getting or turning jails into de facto warehouses for the drug-addicted and/or mentally ill. However, improper conditions in jails are seen as an aggravator of these already-present conditions and there is a disconnect seen between truly getting people ready for their post-sentence life and just providing "three hots and a cot" (Glushko, 2016).
When it comes to organizational behavior theories,…

Furthermore, several of the partnerships that COPS agencies were able to produce within their disparate communities were little more than simple name recognition, and were not able to produce a significantly impactful relationship between those agencies and the surrounding communities. This lack of a true cooperative partnership also accounts for why the research conducted for the COPS program did not truly have as successful an impact as it probably
In the experimental community, the researchers instituted a media campaign to increase seat-belt usage, followed by increased police enforcement of the seat-belt law. It was found that the percentage of drivers using seat belts increased in the experimental community but remained stable or declined slightly in the comparison community (Piquero and Piquero, 2002). An example of the before-and-after design would be the analysis of the impact of the Massachusetts Bartley-Fox
