Issues in Criminal Justice

Group Project II:
Group Project: presented with a problem involving multiple agencies, each student assumes an agency role and a project role to identify a collaborative, optimal solution. Individually, each student will present an agency description, the agency’s perspective and role, and research the available resources. Students will then form groups, and each group will present a collaborative, optimal solution. In the last week of class, each group will present the consequences for not finding or not fully implementing the solution. Throughout this project each student is to assume the character (role play) of the leader of their assigned component agency when dealing with their counterparts from other agencies within their jurisdiction. ** Again, you are the Warden, responsible and from the lens of the prison system.**
Phase 2 – Agency Perspective and Role The student will describe the perspective and role their agency has in dealing with the Group Project problem as assigned buy the instructor.
What are the traditional and practical approaches for the agency’s dealing with the problem?
Why is/has there been a reluctance to change approaches/strategies?
What motivations would be required to affect a different approach or strategy (other that direction from a higher jurisdictional authority)?
The student will submit a paper describing the perspective and role of the designated criminal justice component to include the considerations referenced above.
