PRESENTATIONS IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE SETTINGS

 When conducting a presentation in a different setting such as in criminal justice conferences and public school, the criminal justice professional will not give a similar presentation, or in other words, he might not use similar approaches. This is because the audiences in the criminal justice conferences may be senior leaders who work in the criminal justice system.  The agenda or the specific items being acted upon relate to the criminal justice management and the senior leaders may be interested in reforming the system. Thus, in giving a presentation in this setting, the criminal justice professional will need effective communication skills in both verbal and nonverbal communication, writing skills to write an effective report,  interpersonal quality, understand the audience expectation and the professional may also use visual aids such as  PowerPoint presentation,  overhead projectors, and   whiteboards. The visual aid will help the professional demonstrate the main points, engage the audiences and capture their attention (Siegel & Worrall, 2014).

 On the other hand, the professional might use a different approach in public school. Note that in this particular setting, the professional may create a ‘teachable moment.' In this kind of setting, emotional connection is important so that the audiences in the public school may accept the message and reciprocate. Through understanding the character of the audiences in the public schools, an informal approach is necessary to allow speaker-audience interaction and more important build a closer relationship (Siegel & Worrall, 2014)..

 Overall, effective presentation skills will help achieve the goals in different settings.   In the field of the criminal justice system, the skills will help gain confidence, strategies, a clear framework, and various methods for presenting and practical techniques. With these skills, the presentation will be effective in both small and large groups and, I will engage the audiences and   achieve credibility (Siegel & Worrall, 2014).
