Your Final Paper asks you to analyze either the Avery or Dassey case evidence and come to a conclusion about the verdict in one of these cases. Your analysis should be well-reasoned and include support from academic, library resources to support your argument(s). Utilize the research articles submitted in the Research Assignment, and at least two (2) additional, credible, authoritative sources for support (a total of 6 sources) in your analysis. In your paper, be sure to include:

1) The verdict – do you agree with the verdict in this case, or disagree with the verdict?

2) What specific evidence from your analysis of the case did you rely on to form your conclusion about the verdict ? Choose ONE evidentiary area (this should also be the the area of research you conducted in the Research Assignment) and outline its significance to your verdict conclusion. Be specific. Describe the evidence in detail. If the evidence is faulty or weak, explain why such faults or weaknesses support your verdict conclusion. If the evidence is strong, illustrate why it should be considered the most significant and probative in this case.

3) Are there any other factors besides this one area of evidence that provide additional support for your conclusion? Detail those.

4) Summarize your paper with a compelling restatement and conclusion of your argument. (*You may, if you disagree with the verdict, offer an alternate theory of the crime if you desire).

Specifications:

• 5 pages minimum
• APA format
• Cover page, References page, and running header
• 6 sources (credible, authoritative, library sources)

Assignment Description

You are a police officer assigned to a task force that is investigating major drug trafficking operations in your jurisdiction. As part of the investigative process, a judge has issued a wiretap order for a suspect’s phone. You are assigned the responsibility of monitoring phone conversations, and you overhear the suspect as well as other individuals who may or may not be involved in the drug ring. Before obtaining enough evidence to arrest and prosecute the suspect, you hear evidence related to other types of criminal activity.

Assignment Guidelines

• Address the following in 900–1,200 words:
  • What constitutional issues are involved in the scenario that dictates what you can and cannot do related to the evidence of other criminal activity outside the scope of the original wiretap order? Explain.
  • If you arrest the other individuals for the crimes not associated with the reasons for the wiretap, what happens to any future evidence that might be obtained from the wiretap? Why?
  • If you fail to arrest the other individuals, are there any potential risks involved? Explain you answer.
• Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.

One way informatics can be especially valuable is in capturing data to support quality improvements in practice. Nurse leaders play a pivotal role in leading and managing quality initiatives that impact patient outcomes, safety, and health care organizations’ compliance with regulatory agencies. For this assignment, you will locate 1-2 quality measures and determine how that measure will be incorporated in nursing and provider documentation. You will formulate requirements and a plan for collecting and reporting the data. You will also reflect on how you would lead and manage such a project.

In a paper of 1,500-1,750 words, address the following:

1. Identify the selected quality measure(s).
2. Describe your plan for collecting the data related to the measure. What key information/fields would be needed in the database for you to capture the needed data? How would this data be mapped to the quality measure(s)?
3. What role would the advanced registered nurse play in ensuring the correct data is captured? Which additional systems and staff members would need to be involved in the design and implementation process and team?
4. What professional, ethical, and regulatory standards must be incorporated into the design and implementation of the plan?
5. How would you communicate any necessary changes related to your plan to any affected stakeholders?
6. Describe the leadership skills and project management knowledge you would employ to successfully collaborate with the interprofessional team in this scenario to ensure your facility is providing evidence-based care to its patients?

You are required to cite 5-10 sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last five years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and nursing content.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide An abstract is not required

1.) What type of evaluation process would you say is being used in this case? Explain this evaluation process

The evaluation process employed here is called vitality curve. It has a negative effect on employee morale and potential, where the superiors start to rank from best to worst ranks the subordinate according to their merits. The relative position of each employee is expressed in terms of the numerical rank. The appraiser rates the employee from highest to the lowest, which is an easy method. However this method speaks only about the position ans says nothing about how much better or how worse an employee is in comparision to other employees.

2.) What effect, if any, do you believe rank and yank evaluations have on managers? Do you see these effects as positive or negative? Defend your position.[ 3]

There are many consequences faced by the managers due to such evaluation some of them are as below:

Turning Promotion into Pay cuts: The employe may refuse promotions. If the employee get promoted, they might expect much better performance, if not his rating will be reduced, thus there will be reduction in compensation.

Encouraging Sabotage:They start adding excellent co worker with the existing employee to create the competition. This make difficult to improve the rating for the exisitng employees. Thus making difficult to arrive the rating, as everyone works equally.

Reduction in Productivity: The workforce is reduced, even if the workload is high and hiring managers are put in intense pressure of hiring new candidates. Due to which low calibre employees are hired, whcih affects the productivity.

This has a negative impact on the entity’s growth. As this doesn’t give oppurtunity for the employee. This destroy the morale of the employee. It leads to discrimination. It is said that rank-and-yank puts success or failure of the organization on the shoulders of the individual worker.

3.) What role does such a system have in distorting performance appraisals?

This system is distorting performance appraisal in many ways. Few discussed below

• Mangers commit mistakes, while evaluating the performance, and this may show variations in the ranking.
• The employee’s appraisal is completely, based on the positive quality, where as the negative factors are completely ignored. Even if the worker has failed to perform in one area, he is rated high, based on the performance in other area.
• There can be personal biases, as that the way the supervisor sees him, whether he like or dislikes him, has a tremendous effect on performance rating.
• There can be a spillover effect, where the employee who performed well in the past is assumed to perform well in the present and he is rated same as the past.
• Management can have a central tendency, where they rate all the employees as a average performer. They will neither rate them low nor high.

4.) Write your suggestions/opinions to create better performance appraisal system in the Organization

The are many appraisal system, which are much better than this system, like Self Assessments, Peer Assessments, 360-Degree Appraisal and negotiated performance appraisal, which will encourage the employees to perform better. Any one of these methods can be applied, which can eliminate the consequences faced from earlier one. These methods may avoid the conflict between the employees and employer, as the individual performance is monitor, based on the achievements and completion of target set for the given period.
