police enforcement: K9 unit

/in /by

Your semester-end research project is on either a law enforcement agency or a unit within a law enforcement agency (I chose the K9 unit). All aspects of the project require that you identify the function of police (law enforcement) in the criminal justice system and society as a whole; critiques police with regard to the nature of oppression and the impact of police on specific demographic groups; articulates interrelated structure of criminal justice system and police role therein; and identifies and evaluates ethical roles in policing. (K9 UNIT)

The research paper itself covers these topics and others as you have drawn information from class and the text in addition to your research.

Your final research paper submission should be in APA format with cover page, abstract, eight or more pages of body text with in-text citations to your references and research materials, and listing of references in APA format at the end of the paper. Assuming at least one page of references, cover page, abstract page, and eight pages of body text, your submission should be at least eleven pages

Correction Systems and Practices

Incarceration rates/Crime Rates

We are now in what some people call the Crime Control Era. Over the past several years, on average, arrests have gone up, prison populations have increased and crime has gone down. This doesn’t hold perfectly year to year but over an average of a few years it does. Does this mean that mass incarceration is the answer to crime control? Research this topic and provide statistics and analysis to show a clear picture of what is actually happening.

Instructions for Writing Your Paper

Write a 2 page APA style paper. Only the body of the paper will count toward the word requirement (title page and references are in addition to the 2 pages)

In your paper, cite at least 2-3 references using the APA style guide format for in-text citation.

Only one reference may be found on the internet. The other references must be found in the Grantham University online library (this includes EBSCO Host and the Gale Criminal Justice Collection).

Please see rubric below.

Eating Disorders

/in /by


Helena is now 13 and is exhibiting signs that she may be suffering from an eating disorder. Her mother and father are worried and in need of a workshop that will educate them on what indicators or symptoms to look for in their daughter (and sons, Jordan, 15, and Zach, 14). Describe how, as a human service professional, you can help Helena and her family. First, consider common preconceived notions about the causes and symptoms relating to bulimia and anorexia. Think about the discussion in this week’s assigned textbook readings relative to these disorders and describe what you would say to Helena’s mother (Leigh) and father (Dean) to help them with their daughter’s problem. Note: Think about the differences between bulimia and anorexia and consider the signs, symptoms, and possible causes of each. You should also explain how psychosocial development or cognitive development at this stage could be impacted by having an eating disorder. Finally, provide a link to a resource you can provide to Helena’s parents that will assist their efforts to support their daughter. (Consider a nonprofit organization in your surrounding area or provided online to a national user group.)

    1. The immediate emergency response at the scene of the bombing
    2. The investigation of the incident
    3. The manhunt for the suspects
  4. Assess the importance of the media’s role as a force multiplier for terrorists.
  5. Take a position on the debate between the public’s right to know versus operational security.
  6. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

Assignment 4: Review Paper—Topic Proposal & Reference Page

The purpose of this assignment is to provide you with the opportunity to select a topic in the particular area in which you have an occupational or research interest, and to locate a minimum of ten scholarly references. A helpful Web site for organizing and writing a literature review is www.wisc.edu/writing/Handbook/ReviewofLiterature.html.

You may also want to review the following documents that are available in the Doc Sharing area of the course:

  • A sample literature review,
  • a PowerPoint document illustrating how to set up your word processor for APA style
  • a “Guide for Writing a Literature Review”
  • a PowerPoint tips document

Topic Proposal

Write one to two paragraphs (a) summarizing the problem area (be specific in defining the problem), (b) describing what you already know about the topic, and c) why you have chosen this topic for your literature review. The topic should apply psychological research to an individual, organizational, or social problem. Include a working title and the objective of the paper.

Reference Page

Search for literature on your selected topic and create a Reference Page containing at least 10 scholarly references. A good way to begin searching for relevant literature is to search for key words related to your topic in a research database. Narrow your search to articles in peer-reviewed journals. Another good idea is to check the list of References at the end of an article to find other relevant work. If you have any questions about this part, please feel free to set up an appointment with your instructor or ask the librarian. You will create a reference page for your literature review paper in an appropriate APA style. Your resources must come from scholarly, peer-reviewed journals or books.

##### Just let me know what you will need for this one if you decide to except! ######

I have chosen the topic of  Psychology and Chronic illness. Working in the medical field and seeing a lack of support a lot of the time has made me aware there is a need. Those people need support knowing there is someone they can turn too and understands where they are coming from. My Pro Bono work will be with Veterans that deal with PTSD, night trimmers and flashbacks. To me this is a chronic condition as there are those in the nursing homes I have spoken with that have never forgotten. They just have adapted to their circumstance as they were trained, not realizing there is help. For both of these situations there is a need for psychological assistance. Counseling could make a world of difference in their lives for the better.
