In your 15- to 18-page Final Project, you should include the following:

Executive Summary: Describe the public policy problem of interest to you, the scope of the problem, and a capsule summary of your recommended course of action. (1–2 paragraphs)
Introduction and Problem Definition: Explain why the problem is important. Why should the decision-maker care about this issue? (1–2 pages)

However, based on your research, select 3 or 4 potential solutions that directly address the public policy problem you selected. It is important that you explain which stakeholders would be proponents and which would be opponents of each policy alternative you identify, and why, and the implications of their being for or against the alternative(s). You should make clear to the decision-maker the complexities involved with each proposed solution you analyze. (7–8 pages)
Policy Recommendation: Choose one of the alternatives to the public policy problem you selected and explain, based on scholarly materials you have examined, why it t is best suited to address the problem. Be sure to address opportunities and challenges of implementing your recommendation given any relevant political, social, economic, or cultural considerations. Additionally, explain what, if any, social justice and/or ethical issues are impacted by your recommended policy alternative. (3–4 pages)

For this assignment, you will submit a profile of a serial offender that you will be selecting on your own. You can choose an offender discussed in the text, online, from other books, or any other resource (at the disclosure of the professor). Once you select your offender, you will:

Discuss if the offender fits the common profile of the serial murder offender. This requires much more than providing a biography of the serial killer.
Apply a typology used in the text and apply it to the offender. In doing so, explain how the offender aligns with the typology.
Discuss how the particular offender's crimes were solved (if applicable: if they were unresolved, discuss this, too); and the resolution of the case.

MIDTERM AND FINAL ESSAYS INSTRUCTIONS AND ESSAY QUESTIONS
Both the Midterm and Final Essays will require you to respond to 1 broad based question about criminal justice administration. In essence, you will be asked to demonstrate critical thinking about controversial issues in criminal justice administration and take a position on which course of action would be the best approach for criminal justice administrators. You must format your essays as you would a formal paper, following the guidelines set forth for papers in this course. To adequately respond to the question, you will need to write at least 3 pages (not including the title, abstract, and resource pages.) The essays are open book/open notes.

Midterm Essay Question: 
As a student of human resource management in criminal justice organizations, you have studied the potential effects and cost associations of section 1983 liability lawsuits arising out of the violation of certain protected Civil Rights. Many times such civil Liability risks can be handled with confidence gained through well-informed personnel who have been well trained in the topic. The author of the article you are to read for this essay provides a well-versed paper on the basics of Section 1983 Liability. This article is 8 pages with 29 additional informational pages. Use the article plus other research accordingly to properly prepare a full and adequate response. This is a policy question issue that will have long-term effects on your department/agency. The sections have been layed out for your use to get to the final recomendation for the CEO of choice contained in the very last question below.
As you write your essay answer this series of questions:
•    How much training is enough?
•    Do I need an attorney to teach this to my personnel?
•    How often should it be taught?
•    Should a department policy be updated with each new case?
•    What policy will you recommend to your chief executive (police), your warden (corrections), your commissioner (state police), your sheriff, and/or any executive role with which you must deal?

A Case Study in Equality of Opportunity
Learning Objective: The theme of equality of opportunity is examined through the specific lens of a case study.

For your assignment this week, research two groups in American society. Use research to provide support for your persuasive argument. For your research, you can use data from peer-reviewed sources, PEW, Gallup, Brookings, or a Federal Agency such as the U.S. Census Bureau. Devote at least 250 words to each group.

1.    Identify a group in American society that has been, at any time since 1633, treated with less than an equal right to opportunity. This group might identify by race, religion, gender, ethnicity, cultural or historical background, handicap, sexual preference, geographic location, education, job, immigration status, and so on. However, over time, this group has overcome many of the obstacles that have restricted their rights. Use research to find an example of this group’s success.

2.    Identify a group in American society that has been, at any time since 1633, treated with less than an equal right to equality of opportunity. This group might identify by race, religion, gender, ethnicity, cultural or historical background, handicap, sexual preference, geographic location, education, job, immigration status, and so on. However, over time, this group has failed to overcome obstacles that have restricted their rights. Use research to find an example of this group’s lack of success.

3.    Conclude your research with a 100-word discussion of why one group has been successful while the other group continues to struggle. What did you learn by comparing and contrasting these two groups? What is our role as individuals to help obtain equal rights for others?

In our course this week, we continued our exploration of equality of opportunity. Today more Americans, including women, POC, and members of the LBGTQ community, have greater freedom to exercise their rights than at any time in modern history. At the same time, Americans are increasingly sharing their fear that the American Dream has left them behind. As we have learned from our readings, we are equal in our rights but not necessarily equal in any other ways, including athleticism, intelligence, genetic advantages, family structure, economics, or historical privilege.

For your journal entry this week, discuss an example in your life, whether at work, home, school, or during a time of relaxation when you victoriously exercised equality of opportunity and achieved a significant personal or moral victory.

Operational Assignment Details:
This assignment is due on Sunday at 10 p.m. CST. Your substantive comments are due the following Tuesday at 10 p.m. CST. Each journal entry should be a minimum of 300 words. Your journal entry narrative is subjective and can be written in the first person. Citations are not required, but the inclusion of the assigned reading articles is strongly encouraged. Be sure to proofread your entry and use the Grammarly app before posting. Please keep in mind that others will be reading your journal.
