SCENARIO:

    You are a newly assigned Police Chief in the city of Fruitvale, U.S.A.  Unfortunately, you have inherited a police department that was formerly under investigation by the federal government for a major scandal.  Six months ago, 8 police officers were arrested and convicted for both falsifying police reports and covering up citizen complaints involving excessive use of force.  Consequently, media polls indicate that 75% of Fruitvale residents do not trust police officers in their community.  Unemployment has risen 25% and violent crime (e.g. murder, assaults, robberies, etc.) has increased 27% from the previous year. Domestic violence has also experienced a sudden increase, which may have caused the growing number of gang delinquency, especially in areas of low socioeconomic status. Various quality of life issues (e.g. graffiti, public consumption, disorderly conduct) continually rise as your police officers are underpaid and overworked. Sadly, 5 of the 1,000 sworn police officers have committed suicide this last year.  Overall, department morale is at an all-time low.  
    
    As a result, you have been tasked by the Mayor to research 5 significant innovations in criminal justice within the past 3 decades.  Of course, your predecessor has never introduced any of these programs to the department.  They are listed as:

1)    Community Policing
2)    Broken Windows Policing
3)    Problem-Oriented Policing
4)    Pulling Levers Policing
5)    Third-party Policing

    For EACH program, you are REQUIRED provide an overview/description and assess BOTH its pros and cons.  Based on extensive RESEARCH and your CRITICAL THOUGHT, make a decision on whether or not to utilize these programs in your department.  You may choose to introduce other methodologies; however, provide the pertinent resources.  
                                    (BACK----→)
    Second, the issues of police corruption and police suicide need to be addressed. Provide some of the theoretical framework offered in Classics of Criminology. Use at least 3 readings (from the text) which analyze these areas.  Based on these readings and any additional material utilized, offer some preventive measures that might decrease both evils.
            
    Lastly, provide a SUMMARY on ALL decisions you’ve made.  Clearly state YOUR overall objective as a leader of police officers.

P.F.R. Inc. developed a new antibiotic called Trivan. Tests show that in animals, Trivan has
life-threatening side effects, including joint disease, abnormal cartilage growth, liver damage
and a degenerative bone condition. After several years, an epidemic of bacterial meningitis
swept across Nigeria. P.F.R. sent three U.S. physicians to test Trivan on children who were
patients in Nigeria’s Infectious Disease Hospital. P.F.R. did not obtain the patients’ consent,
inform them as to the risks, or tell them that they had a choice in obtaining treatment, in
that they could go to another organization that was effectively using conventional methods
of treating the epidemic. Eleven children died in the Trivan experiments, and others were
left blind, deaf, paralyzed or brain damaged. Now, P.F.R. is facing a lawsuit for negligence in
product liability.
Were the actions of P.F.R. ethical in taking their testing of the drug to Nigeria as they did
here? Using the principles of ethical reasoning from your textbook (Chapter 4, page 87-88),
what are three arguments that P.F.R.’s actions were a violation of ethical standards. What
might P.F.R. have done differently? Be sure to discuss of Corporate Social Responsibility,
including how and what stakeholders should have been considered in making their decision
about the Trivan testing in Nigeria.
Your response should be a basic essay, with a title, introductory paragraph containing a
thesis statement, support for your thesis in body paragraphs, and a conclusory paragraph
where you wrap up your essay. You may not have more than 10% originality score, and if you
use any sources other than the textbook, you need to cite them in a bibliography. You may
use quotes from the textbook. You do not need to create a bibliography for the textbook,
but you should include in your essay a reference to the book when you use the You are

PERSON 1

According to Purdue OWL, a thesis statement should express the key purpose, or main point of an essay (Tardiff & Brizee, 2014).  Additionally, the thesis statement sets the tone for the writer’s intentions and commitment to the reader regarding the essay’s purpose, content, and overall organization (id.). A thesis statement may also include the importance of the writer’s opinion given the essay’s topic (Furman, 2007).  Since the thesis statement is the key expression describing the purpose of an essay, it is vitally important that it be constructed effectively and remains fluid-constantly subject to revision-throughout the essay writing process (id.). Furman states, “you are your article, and…that your manuscript represents you…therefore, you will want to make sure that you handle every detail professionally” (id.). A thesis statement is often the last one or two sentences in the opening paragraph of an essay and a very specific, detailed accounting concerning the topic of discussion supported by facts and evidence (Tardiff & Brizee, 2014).
Once a topic is chosen, the writer must decide whether or not his or her essay will be objective or subjective based.  When writing an objective essay, the author must present factual, unbiased information or a critical review of a topic through an organized presentation of evidence, examples, and analysis (Silvia, 2007). When writing a subjective essay, the author simply makes a claim or assertion about a given topic, which is also supported through an organized presentation of evidence, examples, and analysis (id.). According to Purdue OWL, the writer must also determine the type of paper he or she is writing before settling on a thesis statement, examples of which are:
• [A]n analytical paper breaks down an issue or an idea into its component parts, evaluates the issue or idea, and presents this breakdown and evaluation to the audience.
•An expository (explanatory) paper explains something to the audience.
•An argumentative paper makes a claim about a topic and justifies this claim with specific evidence. The claim could be an opinion, a policy proposal, an evaluation, a cause-and-effect statement, or an interpretation. The goal of the argumentative paper is to convince the audience that the claim is true based on the evidence provided (id.).
An example of a criminal justice-based analytical thesis statement would be:
An analysis of the inmate intake process reveals the challenges that jail officers must endure when accepting inmates who are HIV positive.
The essay that follows this statement would explain the inmate intake process of an average jail and also explain the unique challenges faced by jail officers when handling HIV positive personnel. An example of a criminal justice-based expository thesis statement would be:
The life of a typical police patrol officer is characterized by time spent on peacekeeping, order maintenance, and problem solving.
An essay that follows should explain how police officers spend their time on peacekeeping, order maintenance, and problem solving. And an example of a criminal justice-based argumentative thesis statement would be:
The emphasis on crime-fighting creates an unrealistic expectation about the ability of the police to catch criminals and prevent crime.
An essay that follows might explain how police officers spend only about 1/3 of their daily activities on criminal enforcement, that more time is spent on peacekeeping, order maintenance, and problem solving, and how movies and television play a vital role concerning the misconceptions surrounding police work (Walker & Katz, 2005). Regardless of the topic chosen, it’s important to remember that the thesis statement establishes the key purpose, or claim which will be supported by the body of paragraphs that provide clear and distinct supporting evidence to the initial claim of the thesis statement leading to a conclusion that re-emphasizes the initial argument as it relates to larger societal issues (Silvia, 2007).
PERSON 2

A thesis statement is the purpose of the writing that follows it. A thesis statement is extremely important because it is how the writer can grab the attention of the reader and persuade them to read and possibly persuade them to choose the writer’s point of view. The thesis statement should be located within the writing either at the very beginning or within the first paragraph of the writing. It is important for the writer to understand the intended audience for their writing so they can tailor their writing to the needs of the audience. For example, it is well known that college text books are ridiculously expensive and more often than not, not worth the price. A writer who wishes to write about this topic needs to decide who their audience will be and determine some supporting information based on the needs of the reader without disregarding contradictory information.

If the writer was writing with the intention of having students as their audience, their thesis statement could be: College textbooks are often prohibitively expensive and universities should select textbooks that contain the same information but in a cheaper fashion. Some of the supporting information that can be used with this thesis statement are as follows:

- Biannual edition updates to college textbooks do not offer enough to justify the cost between editions.
- Textbook publishers employ certain strategies to ensure new editions are purchased such as one time use codes with textbook purchases.
- Many disciplines such as literature and mathematics have not had huge advances in recent academics and does not require a new edition every year or two.

On the other hand, if the writer intended the audience to be the university or the textbook publisher, a thesis statement could be: College students are increasingly seeking different methods to obtain textbooks and the publishers should create more value for the student in order to obtain them as customers. Some supporting information for this thesis statement could be:

- Some students obtain pirated copies of the required textbooks because the new or used textbooks may be too expensive.
- Some professors may tell their students that while the text is officially required, it will not be needed for the course.
- Making textbooks prohibitively expensive could be more harmful to the sales of textbooks while making them cheaper could help ensure that they will be required more often and used.

Most importantly though, a thesis statement is used to guide the research and supporting information for the paper and can help to keep the writer or researcher on topic. They can continue to ask themselves how each piece either supports or refutes the claim or solution that is offered in the thesis statement. For my proposed topic with the sex offender registry, a possible thesis statement could be: The government should focus efforts on other solutions to protect the community from sex offenders and largely abolish the sex offender registration requirements. Some supporting information for this thesis statement could be as follows:

- There is little to no empirical evidence to show that the sex offender registration has protected the community in any way (Mancini & Mears, 2013, p. 1152)
- Sex offender registration alienates sex offenders attempting to reintegrate back into society and could lead them to reoffend due to socioeconomic factors such as homelessness and unemployment.
- Oftentimes, there is no real clear delineation between sex offenders who are considered dangerous and those who are not dangerous. The 19 year old who had sex with his 17 year old girlfriend is given the same title of sex offender as a 50 year old man who had sex with a 7 year old.
