Instructions
In Week 2, you learned about the different ways that we are made aware of crime, and the different strengths and weaknesses of each of these methods of gathering crime statistics. You have also learned that how crime is defined can impact the overall perception and knowledge of crime.
Directions: With the readings from Week 1 and 2 ( https://openoregon.pressbooks.pub/ccj230/chapter/goals/   1.1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 1.10, 1.11, 1.13, 1.14, 1.15, and 2.1 to 2.5) in mind, answer each of the following questions. Be sure to fully answer each part of every question.
Discuss the different views (I.e., interactionist, consensus, conflict) that influence how crime is defined. Which do you think is the best definition and why? Your “why” should be supported with facts.
Discuss two strengths and two weaknesses of each of the various measures of crime. Which method do you think is best and why?
Discuss two ways in which you think we can lessen the dark figure of crime.
Based on your answers to questions 1-3, propose a new way in which you think crime data should be collected. *Note—this question involves critical thinking and should be your unique idea. You should, however, use course material to back up your thoughts.
Format Directions:
Your paper must be double spaced, 11- or 12-pt font, and 1” margins all around.
All APA 7th edition format requirements must be followed (cover page, in text citations, reference page). Refer to the APA information found in Content -> Course Overview -> Course Resources.
You must have resources to support your thoughts/opinions/information. These must be cited both in text as well as at the end of the document. Your paper should not contain direct quotes, sourced material must be paraphrased.
This should NOT be in flowing prose—you should answer in 1, 2, 3, 4 format.

This assignment asks you to evaluate and determine if a case study, interviews, or field research would answer your research hypothesis or research questions.
Part I: If you haven’t already, consider the following:
how a case study design could be used to answer your research hypothesis,
how field research could be used to answer your research hypothesis,
how interviews could be used to answer your research question,
how you developed your hypothesis and research question or questions,
how your selected research design, and
how it will answer your research hypothesis and questions.
Note: Sometimes, revisions to the hypothesis and research questions are necessary. If you feel revisions are needed, go ahead and make them. If no revisions are needed, justify your decision. Keep in mind you will be developing a quantitative research proposal.
Part II: Based on any revisions to the hypothesis and research questions, answer the following:
Recommend whether a case study or field research method would be appropriate for your research proposal.
Recommend a quantitative data collection strategy involving case studies and field research methods appropriate for your research proposal.
Your paper must be at least four pages in length (not counting the title and reference pages). Your paper should include a minimum of three resources. RESEARCH QUESTION: Can student academic performance or skill development improve using different educational programs or interventions?

Your client is stopped early one morning at 0230 hrs. The officer
claims to have seen him “weaving back-and-forth” in the lane he was
traveling, driving 15 mph under the speed limit, and when he stopped at
stop sign, he stopped 25-30 short of the limit line. The officer said
that when he approached to investigate a possible DUI, he claims to have
observed some white power in a plastic bag at defendant’s feet. Prior
to the preliminary hearing, you search a website run by members of the
defense bar, and discover the officer had repeatedly written many DUI
arrest reports in nearly the same fashion. Those reports had been
challenged in court, and some cases were dismissed. Also, the officer
had been involved in an internal affairs investigation where he was
accused of lying. He is being charged with DUI and possession of
methamphetamine.
* Regarding the search, what is the process for
defense counsel to challenge the legality of stop and the search? You do
not have to prove the stop and search were illegal.
* What else could defense counsel argue regarding the officer’s testimony? Support this with case law.
* Of these, which approach has the highest likelihood of success?

White Collar Crimes papers will be two typed pages double spaced. Research the topic, summarize the crime incident, identify the perpetrators and the impact on society as well as the victims, and what action was taken by government after the crime was reported. Was the punishment of the offender sufficient to stop future behavior. Who was stuck paying the bill? Describe efforts to protect potential victims, and make suggestions for strengthening laws or procedures. At minimum, the following questions must be addressed:
1. How severe was the crime?
2. Does the disposition of the crime seem fair?
3. How does this compare to the treatment of violent or “street” criminals?
4. Will the punishment given discourage similar behavior in others?
5. What was the impact on the public as well as the direct victims?

Confrontational Theory is being used more and more. Some say Domestic Violence may relate to this theory and some say this theory was made for the male world. According to Polk(1994) and Cooney’s(1997) research does this relate to DV?
What are your thoughts and support your answer.

Please select one of the race, crime, and justice topics from the list below and prepare an annotated bibliography explaining the preliminary sources you will use. Please note these are not the exclusive sources but only the first four, among others, that will support one of the research topics you will selectunder the specifications for the research paper.  Importantly, please note an annotated bibliography is more detailed than a general bibliography. It should briefly and. concisely summarize the reading and state the relevance of the article to your research topic.
The Impact of Implicit bias on race in policing
Minority Group Threat and Police Use of Force

Scenario: Imagine you are a probation officer who has been tasked with creating a report to share with the key personnel of the local school district to build awareness about laws and court processes that impact local court juvenile sentencing.
Write a report that consists of 2 parts:
Part 1: Data Visualization
Research statistics on populations of juvenile delinquents using the OJJDP’s Easy Access to Juvenile Court Statistics (EZAJCS) data tool for national data on juvenile delinquency demographics, offenses, and case processing trends. Choose 1 of the following options to investigate:
How 1 year’s delinquency case totals compare to another year’s totals based on the age at referral, manner of handling, and disposition
How 1 year’s case processing totals compare to another year for 2 types of offenses and how they vary for different demographic groups and genders
Create a visual representation of the data that shows a comparison of both groups, such as a chart, graphic image, diagram, or infographic. Do not use a table. Instead, select a visually appealing layout that your community would find easy to read and understand.
Create an image for your data visualization using an illustration tool in Microsoft® Word or PowerPoint®, or use an online drawing tool such as Piktochart® or Smore.
Part 2: Executive Summary
Write an executive summary of your findings in 250 to 525 words. Complete the following in your summary:
Explain the data shown in your image. Summarize what the difference in the numbers means for juvenile sentencing in courts.
Categorize the types of offenses that come under acts of delinquency and status offenses in juvenile courts.
Describe in detail the court process applicable for either type of offense and the court personnel associated with each process?
Please use citations and references. Points will be deducted if you do not.
