Write an essay of  900-1,200 words that thoroughly explores the following questions:
Does the United States have a crime “problem” compared to other advanced and industrialized nations? Why or why not?
Why are the definitions of crime and criminal behavior critically important to political entities? Explain.
Use the GCU Library to locate four to six peer-reviewed sources in support of your content.
Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. 

Draft a Case Brief on the Marvin v. Marvin case. It should be typed and single spaced, using normal 12 point Times New Roman or other similar font. Students emailed themselves the case in class. If you did not receive it or email it to yourself, it is attached to this email.
Use your book that has an explanation on case brief elements (pgs 122-124). Your Case Brief should include the following sections:
1) Citation & Caption (with the title of the case/parties & the case citation); 
2) Facts – should be at least 1-2 really substantive paragraphs summarizing the facts of all 4 cases or just one case (Note: Substantive Paragraph = at least 10 lines)
3) Issue(s) – should be written as a question or questions. It is the question(s) presented/the legal question(s) presented/issues of the case. You can have more than one Issue statement (but not more than two).
4) Holding(s) – answers Yes or No to the Issue(s) and then gives a statement of the court’s holding on that particular Issue.
5) Rationale/Reasoning – at least 2 substantive paragraphs, in which you explain how the court came to the conclusion it did/how it reached its decision. What analysis did the court use to reach its decision – what was their reasons.
(Note: Substantive Paragraph = at least 10 lines, so here you need to have at least 20 lines to get an A)

For this course of study, the student should identify critically apparent flaws in
current criminal justice policymaking and offer improved pathways to policing, corrections, and
the judicial system.

Bureaucracy Paper Assignment: You are to choose a Federal agency. Some examples are the Department of Education, Homeland Security, Social Security Administration, Department of Health, and Human Services. If you are unsure if it is a Federal agency email for clarification. The paper needs to be divided by headings talking about the agency. After talking about the agency, talk about what is happening there. What issues is the agency dealing with what are their current plans to address this issue? What laws are most important for the agency? Are there new laws being proposed to help the agency identify new issues? What are the spending priorities in the agency’s budget? Do you agree with the budget spending? How would you improve this agency with recommendations? The paper needs to be between 7-10 pages. This does not include the citations pages. Requires MLA or APA citations. Make sure to proofread the paper. Checking spelling and grammar as well as sentence structure

Students are to write a 10 – 12 page research paper on an important ethical subject where they develop and ethics policy. In essence, you have the opportunity to solve an ethical dilemma on a grand scale. Students should identify an ethical topic they are interested in studying and create a policy and/or a recommendation to a state governing agency about how this ethical issue should be handled moving forward. Your choices should be fueled by empirical research and scholarly sources on the subject. This ethical issue will impact more than just your own individual self—it will affect the lives of all those across the state or even the country. Your job is to write a research paper for the state governor to use as the basis for his/her decision on this issue.
As you write your paper, consider the moral rules that will support your decision.
General structure of your policy analysis
1. Conduct a brief review/synopsis of the relevant facts.
2. Identify what you believe to be the major ethical issues and the relevant underlying values of each opposing side.
3. Set forth your recommendations for the continued use, modification, or discontinuation of this policy. Your decision must have some sort of rationale behind it. This is where you will present an answer to the policy issue at hand. Before you can do this, you will have to decide on what ethical system underlies your analysis. There is no right/wrong system of ethics—choose the one with which you most closely identify. If you are a utilitarian, your stance may be very different than if you identify with ethical formalism or an ethic of care. But, as we know from our class exercises, despite our different ethical systems, we may encounter the same results.
Some topic suggestions: (these are not required; just ideas for you to consider)
1. A policy of racial profiling by police officers to reduce and prevent crime on the streets.
2. The use of plea-bargaining for defendants charged with felonies.
3. The waiver of very young offenders (namely, “kids that kill”) to adult court and making them subject to adult processing and punishment.
4. The use of rehabilitation as the dominant model for corrections.
5. The use of restorative justice programs.
6. The use of “chain gangs,” “tent city,” and other novel punishments and how they impact prisoner rights.
7. Any other current criminal justice policy issue, if approved by me (the death penalty is not an option since we will be discussing this in class)
Please adhere to these directives:
Organization: Title page, Abstract, Introduction, Body of the Paper, Conclusion.
The papers should have a brief introduction, appropriate transitions between topic areas, and a short conclusion. I am interested in each student’s ability to craft an organized approach to an ethical issue in criminal justice. Synthesize the literature on the subject and critically assess the ethical issue.
Substance: Each student should be able to craft a well-reasoned ethical argument. Since we will be addressing “hot” topics of current debate, emotions will run high. However, please try to support your argument with more than just emotion. Where appropriate, essays should draw from course readings, lectures, and discussions particular to the subject matter.
References: Consult at least five (5) outside peer reviewed sources to complete this assignment (the course readings do not count). Please consider the five-source requirement as establishing the baseline; students seeking higher grades are advised to broaden their research.
THESE MUST BE PEER REVIEWED SOURCES
