Week 9 Discussion

Different Types of Criminal Justice Reports

Writing criminal justice reports is all about precision. Clear and
unambiguous explanation is needed. As a criminal justice professional,
the ramifications of your report-writing can be significant. Creating
an accurate narrative that captures circumstances and events that occur
is critical—but not easy. Therefore, learning the components of an
effective criminal justice report is important. Within the field of
criminal justice there are a wide variety of required reports. The
information included in a police report might differ from what is
needed in a probation report. Even within an agency, reports can vary
depending on why they are being completed. Familiarizing yourself with
the different types of reports used in the field of criminal justice
can be quite useful when it is time to write a report.

For this Discussion, examine the types of reports that are used in
the criminal justice system. Identify the key elements of each type of
report. Consider how the reports might be applicable to your role or a
role in the field of criminal justice in which you may be interested in
working.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 a brief description of the two types
of reports you selected. Then describe key components of each report.
Finally, explain how the reports might be applicable to your role or a
role in the field of criminal justice in which you may be interested in
working.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

Below are 5 discussion questions. Each questions need at least one reference and be at least 250-300 words.

  1. In “Business Model Innovation in Practice,” Euchner and Ganguly (2014) discuss the challenge of implementing innovations within organizations that are naturally resistant to change. They present a systematic approach for integrating innovations to increase the likelihood of acceptance and success. Review their five-step approach and discuss how the four functions of management (planning, organizing, leading and controlling) can be leveraged within in their suggested approach to assist organizations in implementing successful innovations.
  2. What do you anticipate will be the greatest challenge of operationalizing strategy across various business functions? Do you think the challenges change depending on the circumstances? Provide an example within your field.
  3. Return to HBS case reprint, “Southwest Airlines: In a Different World.” The case study makes it clear that a significant shift in organizational strategy requires collaboration across multiple departments, or functions, within a business. Review the case and discuss how you think Southwest’s plan to serve La Guardia would impact two primary business functions (e.g., marketing, operations, human resources, finance, accounting, and IT). Consider how coordinating efforts of the two functions to successfully serve La Guardia might affect management and decision making. How integral is collaboration among business functions to the success of Southwest’s plan? Cite specifics from the case in your response.
  4. Provide an example in which managerial decision making has positively or negatively affected you? How did the personal decision-making styles used by managers apply to the situation? What is your take away from the example you provided after your reading about managerial decision making in this topic?
  5. An organization’s landscape can be expansive and complex. Most organizations rely heavily upon information technology as a way to achieve outcomes. Conduct a needs assessment on your current organization or a familiar organization. Evaluate the cross-functionality of departments to identify gaps or opportunities for more effectively utilizing information technology to improve collaboration, efficiency, and communication. Recommend improvements based on your assessment. Include an explanation of the benefits in your proposal.

Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS)

Review Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports and Positive behavior support plan (Essential elements)

Positive behavioral intervention and support (PBIS) can either be individually based or school wide (SWPBIS), and in many cases both. The whole school can have a behavior intervention plan that involves system-wide positive rewards for following the school’s code of conduct and consistent negative reinforcement for code violations. Individually based behavior plans are dependent on the student’s unique target behavior and what the student finds as a motivator. The main goal of either a school-wide or individual-based PBIS is to teach students to generalize positive behaviors in the “real world” without adult support or external rewards.

Thomas was a fourth grader at a local elementary school who was diagnosed with Down syndrome and received specially designed instruction as defined on his IEP. Thomas had been attending the school since first grade and knew several of the other students. He received most of his instruction in separate special education class that was located within the general population. Thomas’ teachers described his problem behaviors as off task and disruptive to instruction and other activities that included excessive talking, prolonged waving and pointing at peers, and excessively long transitions between activities. Thomas has also been sent home several times for touching peers in private areas. The teachers have reported that when there are five or more students per teacher the majority of problems arise. Thomas really likes getting the teacher’s attention, high-fives, and getting calls home to say he is doing a great job.

What would you choose as the one target behavior that needs to be modified? Which differentiated response would you choose to use to modify the behavior and why? How will you teach this new skill? What will you use as a reward? What will you use as a negative reinforcer? What are two short-term goals (1 month each) you can use to achieve your long term goal? What is your long-term goal (at the conclusion of 6 months)? How will you teach him to generalize this goal?
