Continuity Plan
Continuity is the ability to provide uninterrupted critical services,
essential functions, and support, while maintaining organizational viability,
before, during, and after an event that disrupts normal operations. 
For this assignment, prepare a continuity
plan for your community (or agency) that could be used during a large scale
terrorist event or other homeland security matter. The link below is a
guide/template, but you are not bound to the content.  The goal is to
design a plan that fits the needs of your community or agency while considering
the definition of continuity.
Continuity Plan Requirements:
Plan must address continuity in a terrorist of other
homeland security event
Include key steps in the Emergency Planning Process
(include key concepts, terminology, etc..)
Plan should be at a level where it could be
implemented in a real-world situation and illustrates a full understanding
of the process where all components are identified and explained
Includes economic impacts
Plan includes course concepts
Plan includes key principles related to long-term
recovery planning after a disaster
Must include 5 references that are properly cited in
APA format
Length of plan: 5-6 pages – in APA format
Non
Federal Continuity Plan Template – This template can be
used as a guide for your plan, but you are not bound to the content.
Rubric is attached.

• Discussion paper: the paper will be due (in electronic form) It will be a maximum of 5 typed pages.
• You decide your own topics to write on. • You are to write on any criminal procedure topic that interests you. Your paper must include reference to topics we have learned in class and should reference the law and criminal code provisions that you learned in class.
• The paper will essentially be an analysis and opinion paper on a criminal procedure based scenario. What do you think of it, how does it accord with the law as you have learned in class; do you think the decision/situation was correct? Etc.
• Pick a story in the news and write on it. This is not a case analysis, do not review one single case, for e.g. R v Mann.
For e.g. over the spring there was an arrest of a person downtown who had a weapon and the police used force which involved kicking the person. This was videotaped and received wide media coverage. If you chose such a scenario you would want to write about the police powers to arrest, where do they
Loading…
come from (the criminal code sections), what is the law, did they exercise
their powers to arrest properly in your opinion? Etc. NOW BECAUSE I’VE OUTLINED THIS I WILL NOT ALLOW THIS SPECIFIC SCENARIO TO BE A TOPIC USED.
• Look to news stories, the internet. Try to restrict your topic to events in Canada, and if possible Manitoba. The Law in the USA is different than our laws, so while the USA may present some interesting topics I don’t recommend discussing them.
• Follow the outline to ensure you are addressing a topic we have covered in class.
• You must include a copy of the news story you choose, this does not count towards your 5 page limit. I have attached the notes down below. Reference to the lectures. 

I will need :
(1) a premilinary outline of the paper and bibiography of sources
(2) the 10-15 page term paper
First, you will need to complete a one page outline on community/gang violence. The 1 page outline should include each of the sections described in the “organization section” below, along with a preliminary bibliography identifying at least 5 primary sources from peer reviewed academic journal articles.
Format: APA Style, reference page Length:
outline : 1 page
term paper : 10-15 pages (using standard font and margins, including separate references page)
Organization of Paper: Each paper should include the following subheadings: Section 1: Intro./overview/extent of the violence problem: 1. How often does this type of crime occur? 2. Who are the typical offenders? 3. Who are the typical victims? 4. What is the situational context associated with this type of violence (e.g. location, circumstances)? Section 2: Causes of the problem: choose a specific theory of crime causation and apply it to the crime. Section 3: Prevention Strategies: Can this type of violence be prevented? If so; how? Focus here on how to prevent both violent offending and violent victimization. Section 4: Control Strategies Overview: 1. Police response to the problem 2. Court response to the problem 3. Correction system’s response to the problem 4. Community response to the problem (e.g., vigilante justice, private policing, etc.) Section 5: Specific Case study/violence analysis (identify a specific violent crime as a case study to analyze in your violence topic area) 1. What happened? 2. Why did it happen? 3. Could the crime have been prevented? 4. Were control strategies effective? 5. Impact of the case on the offender, victim, community, & criminal/juvenile justice system? Section 6: Concluding comments: What does the future look like for prevention and control of this type of violence?

I will need 2 things :
(1) 2 Page Outline and Bibliography
(2) 15 Page Term Paper
(2a) table within paper
Model Outline: At minimum, a working outline should include each of the subheadings identified below
2-3 PAGES
This paper as having 3 distinct subsections
(1) a descriiption of the theory/ theorist, (2) a review of the research testing this theory
(3) a discussion of the policy implications of the theory.
Initial outline: A 2-3 page working outline is required, along with an initial listing of at least five major references from leading journals and/or the Resource Folder. The outline should follow my model outline with 3 major subheadings and be detailed enough to allow me to follow the logic of the paper. Be sure to identify only one theory and one theorist. My recommendation is to simply use the model outline I have provided and fill in the information needed for each section of the outline.
TERM PAPER
15 PAGES
Section 1: Theory of crime causation (choose one theory (and theorist) to write about) from the following list: James Q. Wilson and George Kelling, Broken Windows Theory
A. Theory and theorist descriiption: What are the key points of the theory that you selected? Who developed theory? (note: choose only one theorist here) When was the theory developed? Why did the theorist develop this theory of crime causation?
B. Theory origin and context (social, political): What was going on at the time this theory was developed? Did these events help shape the theory?
C. Theory application to various types of crime: Is the theory you chose a general theory of crime causation (e.g. Sutherland’s theory of Differential Association), a middle range theory (e.g. A theory applied only to a specific group, such as juveniles, e.g. Cohen’s strain theory), or a crime-specific theory (e.g. homicide—southern violence hypothesis)?
Section 2: A Review of the Evidence
D. Has the theory been evaluated? If so, how, when, where, and by whom? To conduct your review, you will need to identify and summarize the results of research studies that have tested the theory under review.
E. What does the research reveal? I require the inclusion of table summarizing the key findings from your research review in a table with the following headings: Study author (year of publication); study sample size; research design type; key study findings (link between independent and dependent variables, e.g., unemployment and crime). I will provide examples of the review table format in the week 3 folder. This is a required element and needs to be included in your final paper; it is not needed for your outline submission.
F. What are the strengths and limitations of the theory? Does the theory need to be revised? Is more research needed?
Section 3: Policy Implications
G. According to the theory, how do we solve the crime problem? (note: for ideas, look at my weekly lectures, our text, and the journal, Criminology and Public Policy)
H. Have we tried to solve crime based on this theory? Here are a few examples: mandatory sentencing and deterrence theory; war on poverty and strain theory; diversion, decriminalization, deinstitutionalization, and labelling theory; culture change and subcultural theory; community organization and social disorganization theory.
I. What have we learned from these efforts? For example, what impact did the war on poverty have on crime? What about our war on drugs?
Term paper details: Your term paper should be about 15 pages of text (not including your references page and any tables you include, such as the research summary table, which is required), using standard ½ inch margins, 12 font, and double-spaced. Use subheadings throughout based on the above outline, and cite all sources using APA format. If you are unsure how to cite and reference using APA format, go to the following resource: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/genera l_format.html
References: When writing about a specific theory, be sure to cite the author of the theory directly; the author is a primary source. Do NOT rely on someone else’s summary of the theory; this is a secondary source and should be used for background on

Explain the concept of Due Process of Law. Identify the importance of this with examples and legal sources in reference and relevance to Evidence in the criminal and civil system of the USA. At least 2 pages, APA, 2 academic references and 15% or less plagiarism report.
