Due Week 8 and worth 100 points

A suspect is apprehended in a large-chain grocery store by the security guard. The suspect is placed in handcuffs and taken to the manager’s office. The police are called and advised of the situation. Officer Jones arrives at the store approximately 12 minutes later. Officer Jones takes a statement from the security guard and views the in-store camera film of the shop lifting incident. Officer Jones places the suspect under arrest, reads the suspect the Miranda warnings, and asks the suspect if he would like to make a statement. The suspect replies, “No, I would like a lawyer”. The suspect is then transported to the local jail and booked. Five (5) hours later, the suspect is interviewed by a detective who again reads him the Miranda warning. The detective then asks the suspect if he would like to talk. The suspect says, “Yes”. He eventually confesses to the crime.

Assignment 2.2: Justification Report – Part 2
Due Week 5 and worth 150 points

In Part 1 of your Justification Report assignment, you built up the following sections: Problem Statement, Overview of Alternatives, Criteria, and Methods. In Part 2, you will revise Part 1 based on your instructor’s suggestions and add to it the following sections: Evaluation of Alternatives, Findings and Analysis, and References.

Use the basic outline below to draft your paper. Organize your responses to each question under the following section headings:

• Evaluation of Alternatives (for Questions 1-3)
• Findings and Analysis (for Questions 4-5)
• References (for Question 6)

Using the provided template, write Part 2 of a single-spaced report in which you:

1. Include and revise the sections from Assignment 2.1 (Problem Statement, Overview of Alternatives, Criteria, and Methods) per instructor suggestions.
2. Research the two (2) alternatives (i.e. possible solutions) that you’ve identified in your Part 1 Evaluation of Alternatives section. Record bibliographic information during research. 
   1. Example: You might research other organizations that have attempted similar solutions to the problem you have identified and explore the results of those experiments. 
3. Use what you discover in your research to evaluate each alternative by each of your five (5) criteria. 
   1. Example: If your research revealed that four (4) companies similar to yours increased productivity after allowing their workers to telework from home three days per week, you might conclude that one of your suggested alternatives – in this case, the option to telework from home three days per week – satisfies one of your criterion of “Productivity” as a high-potential solution to a problem you’ve identified (of decreased worker morale and productivity at Doe’s Electronics). However, additional research might frustrate a recommendation of this alternative if it is found to fall short of other criteria while a second alternative fares better. For instance, a telework alternative might be found to be too costly to implement; too frustrating for consumers who prefer daily, in-person customer service; or too divergent from the company’s brand, “Always there for you!”
4. Organize the assignment by your criteria. Explain in narrative form how each of your two (2) alternatives stacks up against your first criterion. Next, explain how each alternative stacks up against your second criterion, etc. 
   1. Example: An abbreviated outline of what this longer section might look like based on the above example is below (Note: Only the first two [2] of five [5] required criteria are included to give you a feel for the structure). Your researched findings, represented as circled bullets below, should be explained in two to five (2-5) sentences. Include in-text citations and follow up with References in APA style):

      Evaluation of Alternatives

      • Productivity
      1. • Alternative A: Telework from home three (3) days per week 
           • {narrate findings based on research article 1 here}
         • Alternative B: Offer two (2) extra Floating Holidays to each employee per year 
           • {narrate findings based on research article 2 here}
      • Cost
      1. • Alternative A: Telework from home three (3) days per week 
           • {narrate findings based on research article 1 here}
         • Alternative B: Offer two extra Floating Holidays to each employee per year
         • • {narrate findings based on research article 2 here}
5. Briefly summarize in narrative form the major discoveries that emerged from the Evaluation of Alternatives section.
6. Include a chart like the ones below to illustrate at a glance:

   Figure 1: Alternatives Analyzed by Criteria

   Criteria	Telework Option	Floating Holiday Option
   Productivity	Very high	Negligible increase
   Cost	Very high	Moderate
   Company Image	Increased	Negligible increase
   Worker Morale	Increased	Negligible increase
   Practicality	Moderate	Low
   TOTAL Feasibility* of Alternatives based on Criteria?	Moderate to High	Low to Moderate

   *Feasability = Capability of an alternative being carried out with success

7. Include an APA style (6th edition) References page that documents the two (2) sources (minimum) that you used and cited in-text in your Evaluation of Alternatives section. You may use secondary resources, or you may include one primary source and one secondary source. Remember that both in-text citations and References must be included (to avoid plagiarism) whenever you are directly quoting, summarizing, or paraphrasing researched material.
