5 Columbia College Online Campus P a g e 5 Assignment Overview Readings and Class Activities: It is suggested that you carefully complete all reading assignments and complete the class activities as soon as possible each week. Discussion: There will be two Discussion topics each week, worth points each. Each student is required to make an initial post commenting directly on the question or issue that is the topic of discussion, and then to address any questions posed in response to your initial post during the week. In addition, you are required to respond to at least three initial posts made by your classmates in each forum. Three responses per discussion topic is the minimum requirement. Initial posts must be made no later than at midnight. Responses to classmates are due by at midnight each week (except in Week 8 which is Saturday at midnight). In your responsive posts, challenge, discuss and debate. Our discussions are intended to include thought-provoking and actionable content; please refrain from posts such as good post, I agree without further comment or discussion. Discussions should be posted to the appropriate topic in the Discussions area of the course. Please note: If something happens in the news that is of note and relevant to the course material, the Discussion topics may potentially change from what is listed in the syllabus. Please make sure you respond to the topics posted in the Discussions area of the course for each week. Weekly Papers: There will be 7 Weekly Papers in this course. The first Paper is your Thesis Statement and Abstract for your proposed new criminal justice program or policy. This process will require the identification of a criminal justice problem currently faced either nationally or on a state or local level. The following six Papers will be rough drafts of each of the seven stages that will be the building blocks for your Final Paper. Using the techniques and procedures covered in our texts and discussed throughout the course, you will write 6 weekly papers that will each address one stage of development for your new Criminal Justice program or policy. You are expected to closely follow the Stages listed in the Appendix to the Welsh/Harris text, and to use the lettered sections therein as headings within your Papers. The thesis statement and abstract identifying your proposed new program or policy is worth 60 points. Papers covering Stages 1, 2, 4, 5 & 6 are each worth 160 points. Your Stage 3 paper is worth 200 points. All weekly papers are due by midnight on the assigned due dates. Papers should be prepared using MS Word, APA citation style, and submitted to the appropriate folder in the Dropbox area of the course. Assignments: There will be 4 assignments based on issues in criminal justice, or case studies in the textbook. These assignments are due by midnight on Friday of Weeks 2, 3, 5 and 7. Assignments 1 and 3 are worth 50 points. Assignments 2 and 4 are worth 75 points. They should be should be prepared using MS Word and submitted to the appropriate folder in the Dropbox area of the course, by midnight on the assigned due dates. Full assignment details will be available in the Content area of the course. Below are topics for each assignment: Assignment 1: Identify a criminal justice problem from the past 10 years that has or had a responsive criminal justice policy or program instituted to address the problem. What are/ were some possible causes of the initial criminal justice problem? Identify and discuss the intervention attempted as a response to this problem. Was it successful? Why or why not? Assignment 2: Read Case Study 1.3 beginning on page 60 in the Welsh/Harris text. Prepare a paper addressing the questions following the Case Study, on page 72 of Welsh/Harris. Assignment 3: Read Case Study 4.2 beginning on page 140 in the Welsh/Harris text. Answer question 2 on page 143. Assignment 4: Read either Case Study 6.2 or 6.3 in the Welsh/Harris text and prepare a paper addressing the issues raised in the question following the case study. The highest point values will go to those papers which provide a thorough analysis and utilize the concepts and evaluation techniques discussed in Chapter 6. A suitable length for this paper is 1-3 pages. Final Paper: For your Final Paper you will draw together the stages developed in your Weekly
6 Columbia College Online Campus P a g e 6 Papers (described above) and present a cogent, well structured, well written and researched paper covering all components of your proposed criminal justice program. You will present a completed paper that identifies your chosen criminal justice problem; analyzes the problem; lists your proposed goals and specific outcome objectives; explains the design of your program or policy; provides an action plan; discusses monitoring implementation of your program or policy; and provides a scheme for analyzing the success, failure and general outcome of your program or policy. This is more than just marrying the 7 weekly papers together. You will need to refine and finalize, making sure that you have covered all of the steps to create a criminal justice program and have eliminated any redundancies within the sections of the draft papers. Tighten your language and make your points succinctly. Absent special arrangement with me, your papers should not exceed 35 pages exclusive of attachments. The Final Paper should be should be prepared using MS Word and submitted to the Dropbox area of the course by midnight on Saturday of Week 8. Note: Submitting another student s work, or submitting work completed by you previously for another course ( recycled work ) is considered to be a form of plagiarism and is not acceptable. Course Schedule Week 1 Course Introduction Readings: Introduction, Welsh/Harris; Chapter 1 Stolz Class Activities: Review the syllabus and welcome letter, and become familiar with learning online. Identify a criminal justice problem that you seek to address, and begin thinking about what type of a criminal justice program you will design to address that problem. This will be the thesis for your Final Paper. 1) Introduce yourself. Tell us a little bit about yourself. Some examples: Why are you pursuing your MSCJ? What are your career goals? What things are important to you in your life? What hobbies do you enjoy? 2) Provide an example of a criminal justice policy, structure or system and state whether it is implemented at a federal, state, or local level, or a combination of the three. What are the pros and cons of the policy you identified? Do not choose a topic already discussed by a fellow classmate! Thesis Statement and Abstract Paper Due - Please post your paper to the appropriate folder in the Dropbox area of the course. Week 2 Policy Making at the Executive Level Readings: Chapter 1 Welsh/Harris; Chapter 2 Stolz and Stolz pp ) Listen to the audios in the course content area regarding President Obama s stance on enforcement of marijuana laws. His policy creates a conflict between state and federal policies on marijuana possession and use. What role should the Chief Executive play in formulating and enforcing crime policies? Should his role differ depending on whether the policy at issue is a state or federal one? 4) Refer to the Marion article on p. 48 of the Stolz text. Do you agree with Marion s conclusion that President Clinton s crime policies were mere symbolic gestures that did not produce tangible results? Why or why not? Provide at least one example of a Clinton crime policy to support your position.
7 Columbia College Online Campus P a g e 7 Stage 1 Paper - Please post your paper to the appropriate folder in the Dropbox area of the course. Assignment 1 Submit your assignment to the appropriate folder in the Dropbox area of the course. Week 3 Legislative Criminal Justice Policy Making Readings: Chapter 2 Welsh/Harris; Chapter 4 Stolz. 5) This discussion forum relates to the Arizona immigration law. Read the text of the law via the links provided in this week s Overview and Readings Content page. Provide a concise analysis of the legality of this law. Are there any Constitutional concerns with the law as written? Immigration is a Federal issue, but the Federal government doesn t seem to be getting the job done in our Southern border states. Should the local government be able to step into the abyss created by apathetic or ineffective Federal policy? Provide some authority to support your position. 6) What role do special interest groups play in Congressional criminal justice policy making? How do such groups seek to influence policy making at the legislative level? Is the existence of these groups and the role that they play an enhancement or a hindrance to the creation of effective, responsive criminal justice programs? Stage 2 Paper - Please post your paper to the appropriate folder in the Dropbox area of the course. Assignment 2 Submit your assignment to the appropriate folder in the Dropbox area of the course. Week 4 More Legislative Criminal Justice Policy Making Readings: Chapter 3, Welsh/Harris; Stolz p ) Locate a jurisdiction that uses Drug Courts. Provide some information on this initiative, either the "nuts and bolts" of its workings, or an example of a case where the Drug Court was utilized. Do you feel that the drug Court initiative has been an effective criminal justice program? Why or why not? What changes might be proposed to increase the efficacy and responsiveness of this program? 8) In the 90's, there was a strong push across the nation to try violent juvenile offenders as adults. In the resulting years, what once was the exception has become more and more frequent. However, we are now seeing some states pulling away from this policy, in light of recent research and information. Do some research on this topic and find a case where a juvenile was tried as an adult. Provide a link to the article. What goal(s) and/or objective(s) were sought to be accomplished by this trend? Were those goals and objectives accomplished in the case you identified? Should we continue to try juveniles as adults? If so, in what circumstances? Let's discuss the pros and cons of this criminal justice policy. Stage 3 Paper - Please post your paper to the appropriate folder in the Dropbox area of the course. Week 5 Judicial Criminal Justice Policy Making Readings: Chapter 4, Welsh/Harris; Chapter 7, Stolz 9) Should the judicial branch have the ability to develop and implement criminal justice policy, or should that power belong solely to the executive and legislative branches? Read both the majority opinion and Justice Scalia's dissent in the US Supreme Court case of Ferguson v. City of Charleston, 532 U.S. 67 (2001), and review the material provided in the course content area for this week. In this case, did the Justices engage in judicial policy making? Did the Court overstep its bounds in essentially striking
8 Columbia College Online Campus P a g e 8 down the policy at issue? 10) Read the articles in the course content area about California Judge Peter Espinoza, and do some of your own research on him. Judge Espinoza seems to be an "activist judge". Is it acceptable for a member of the judiciary to de facto create policy by choosing which laws he will enforce? Should we applaud or condemn this type of judicial policy making? Stage 4 Paper - Please post your paper to the appropriate folder in the Dropbox area of the course. Assignment 3 Submit your assignment to the appropriate folder in the Dropbox area of the course. Week 6 Criminal Justice Policy at the Local Level Readings: Chapter 5, Welsh/Harris; Chapter 6, Stolz. 11) Read the published article located at What was your impression of the executive summary? Do you think it offers practical suggestions, or is it more academic? Are CJCCs an effective local response to the CJ issues noted in the paper? What else would you have liked to have seen addressed in the paper? 12) Read the articles provided in the course content area. They address a very clear state/local criminal justice gap, relating to the treatment of released sex offenders. What suggestions can you offer to redesign or adjust the sex offender policy to address the problems identified in the articles, yet continue to ensure that the policy objectives are met? Stage 5 Paper - Please post your paper to the appropriate folder in the Dropbox area of the course. Course Evaluations: Please evaluate the course. A link will be sent to your CougarMail that will allow you to access the evaluation Week 7 Evaluating the Outcome of Programs or Policies Readings: Chapter 6, Welsh/Harris 13) Research and identify a policy outcome or program outcome that you feel was not evaluated properly by a government body. This can be a law, policy or program at any level related to criminal justice. What confounding factors impacted the evaluation? What changes would you suggest to account for these factors? If you were the decision maker, what would you have done differently with respect to evaluation? 14) Do some research to educate yourself on Supermax prisons. What criminal justice problem do these prisons seek to address? Are such prisons an effective or a flawed response to this problem? What information would you seek in order to evaluate whether such prisons are achieving the policy objectives? Stage 6 Paper - Please post your paper to the appropriate folder in the Dropbox area of the course. Assignment 4 Submit your assignment to the appropriate folder in the Dropbox area of the course. Week 8 Misc. Issues in Criminal Justice Policy Making Readings: None ) Some states have implemented the use of private prisons to house convicted people in their
9 Columbia College Online Campus P a g e 9 state. Do some research on the Internet and consult the resources in the Course Content area to familiarize yourself with the public v. private prison issue. What criminal justice problem do these prisons seek to address? Is the use of private prisons good policy? Why or why not? 16) Provide a one paragraph summary of the CJ problem that you identified as needing a responsive program or policy in Week 1 of the course. Provide a summary of the program or policy you created, and explain how it will bridge the gap or address the problem that you identified. Comment on at least 3 of your peers initial posts. Do you have a different approach to the problem they identified, or a suggestion on how to advance the change they instigated in their proposed policy or program? Final Paper - Please post your completed paper to the appropriate folder in the Dropbox area of the course by Saturday Midnight on the last day of the term.
