Analyze your chosen incident, including descriptions of the reactions of community members, law enforcement, criminal justice agencies, and the media.

Description

This is the other part to ID paper #4303641312 on Sept 23, 2020. I told you I would have you do the final so this is what is needed and you already have the other paper that you wrote for this. I will have to send you the graph with the info that I pulled for statistics.

Class, Race/Ethnicity, and/or Gender Incident Paper Guidelines for FINAL PAPER WHICH IS DUE IN SESSION 15

Overview

For the final course paper, which will relate to a Class, Race/Ethnicity or Gender Incident, you are asked to choose a recent incident or series of incidents in your hometown or state, in which class, race/ethnicity or gender were thought to be a factor in how the criminal justice system dealt with the issue. Try to stay as local to your city as possible in your choice of an incident or incidents. If this is not possible, then choose an incident from another city.

You are to imagine that you are a criminal justice consultant who has been asked by local government leadership to research the case and propose a set of strategies or interventions to prevent such an incident from taking place again. Note that you are not expected to investigate the case nor determine who is right or wrong in their actions. You are required to put your emotions aside. Within your paper, you are expected to deal with such factors as the reactions of the local community, law enforcement, and/or other criminal justice agencies or institutions (reactions to the incident…in regards to class, race/ethnicity, or gender).

Also include a comparison of your state or municipality crime statistics with those of the United States. Note especially those percentages or rates that are different from the national average. This analysis provides essential information for the analysis of the incident that you have selected. You may need to present your findings in tables, which you can attach to your project. You will submit a crime statistics project in Session 8, and include it in Paper.

Finally, you are expected to apply concepts and theories studied in this course to your analysis of the event(s), reactions to the event(s), and your recommendations.

4. Apply concepts and theories from the course toward your analysis of the incident.

5. State known facts about the incident and cite relevant research.
