Category: Criminal justice

Artefact 2 requires that students write a report in response to a criminal event/offence type (see https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jun/30/teenager-and-man-killed-in-triple-stabbing-in-north-london-archway-islington) . Use the offence type introduced, you are required to recommend a criminal justice response for the offence. The focus can be on the offender(s), the victim(s), the police/courts, or the prison or probation service. 
The report will have 4 components:
Summary of the case study
An explanation for why this offence happened using a psychological theory/approach 
Identification of an alternative psychological theory that could be used to explain the offence 
Evidence-based recommendations for practice based on your chosen focus – so if you are looking at the offender, what are the treatment/punishment recommendations? If you are looking at the police/courts, what needs to be considered when prosecuting? If you are looking at the victim, how can we support them through the criminal justice system and beyond?
Additional information:

A manager of an emergency response team is responsible for emergency management services and resources. Their duties include routinely planning for responses to incidents that require communication with law enforcement agencies at multiple levels. For a city to host sizeable events, it needs to establish working relationships between agencies to execute incident response plans successfully.
Emergency management is not the sole responsibility of one individual government or private organization. The federal government and each state, along with its different counties and cities, share the responsibility for planning, managing, and responding to disaster events within their jurisdictions. Private sector organizations also play a vital role in augmenting government agencies during disaster recovery. When these organizations come together to manage an emergency, a standard is required to ensure that each organization works effectively with the others and has a shared understanding of key terms and response options for managing incidents effectively. FEMA established the National Incident Management System (NIMS) to standardize how personnel from multiple agencies plan and work together during and following an emergency incident.
ScenarioA city in your state of residence is planning to host a concert that is expected to bring in several thousand people for the event. City planners will be managing the security and emergency services during the concert and will be meeting with the other agencies involved to finalize the plan for the event. Before they do, they have asked local agencies to present their plans for responding to different incidents that may occur. As the manager at your agency, you have been tasked with presenting information on a specific type of incident for the city to consider during their emergency management preparations.
PreparationReview the FEMA EMI Course IS-700B: An Introduction to The National Incident Management System (NIMS) from Week 1 to become familiar with NIMS concepts, principles, and components.
Select a real city in your state that might host such an event. You may select a real or fictitious concert to use as an example, or you may focus on planning for a general concert situation.
Select an example of an incident likely to occur during the concert. Choose an incident with a realistic risk level that justifies having a city-level emergency response plan ready. Research standard procedures for responding to this kind of emergency incident.
Examples of realistic incidents include fights or riots, crowd surges or stampedes, active shooters or terrorist attacks, bomb threats or detonations, or fire or structural failures.
Select a real or fictitious agency that would be responsible for handling the type of incident you selected. Research the protocols that such an agency is likely to follow in this situation.
Assessment DeliverablePrepare a plan for responding to the type of incident you selected as if you were presenting to the city’s emergency service planners who will be managing the security and emergency services for the concert.
Using information from your research, create a 10- to 12-slide presentation as if you were an agency’s emergency planning manager explaining the relationships between governmental organizations using effective emergency management to respond to an incident that might occur during an event.
Include the following in your analysis of the relationships between emergency management agencies responding to an incident at a large event such as a concert:
Summarize the details of the example situation and incident that you selected. Identify the government agencies involved in managing emergency services for such an incident during this kind of event.
Explain how the government agencies plan to work together during the event if the incident should occur. Include the chain of command and standard policies and procedures used to manage this kind of incident.
Describe how the government agencies plan to communicate with each other during the emergency. Summarize the roles and responsibilities of each agency that would be involved in this kind of incident.
Identify the required FEMA training agencies may need to be ready to facilitate effective emergency response and communication during the event. Explain how management, communication, and collaboration between agencies during the incident align with the guidelines in the National Response Framework.
Cite at least 2 scholarly sources in your presentation as evidence to support your explanation.

It’s supposed to be an persuasive business email, following the 5-paragraph structure of an essay, intriguing people to support the Law enforcement and learn more about the criminal justice system in their town.

For this discussion, consider the business you selected for your course project. Pretend that while you were working to perform a risk assessment on the organization the unthinkable occurred – you discover it has been hacked (and may, in fact, still be under attack). At this moment, you have no idea how long this has been going on, the level of damage, the persistence of the hack, and what (if anything) has been compromised. You have learned that some hackers may gain access to network resources and stay relatively inactive until there is something of value to steal or exploit. Other hackers seek to embarrass or steal quickly, hoping to benefit immediately from the access gained. You do not know which type of situation you have, what type of hacker(s) you are dealing with, if it is a lone instance, or if there are multiple exploits across your organization’s vast network.
Now consider you found a way to answer at least some of these questions quickly. While you may not have all the answers, you have identified some characteristics of this hack and need a plan to move forward. Moving forward includes isolating all access and compromised systems, identifying hacking methods (what was successful and what was not), and determining if the hack is a compromise that must be reported per the governance required of your type of business or industry.
Create a basic plan of how you would identify the extent of the damage/access/breach.
Who/what has hacked your organization?
What was the goal?
What can you do to immediately triage the organization’s network?
What specific steps can be taken?
Who should be notified?
Do you alert your customers/patients/students/stakeholders?
***The selected line of business for my course project is digital forensics.***

I need a paper on research and capstone related to a theoretical background on prison population density to include the causes and effects of that topic. 

For the organization you selected in Module 1: Case Study Milestone 1, consider your answers to Discussion 4: You’ve Been Hacked! Craft a summary including the details of the breach and what you and the organization are doing to identify, isolate, and remedy that hack. Executive summaries are brief summary statements that are clearly and plainly written to show upper management the main points of a situation so that they need not read an entire report or brief on a matter. Imagine that you only have one hour to brief the entire organizational board (CEO, CSO, CFO, etc.) on the situation and they will need part of that hour to ask questions on what you present. This is not a paper. It is a very brief, complete (including what you do and do not know) statement of the situation up to this point in time.
Consider the elements from the discussion question:
You discover the organization had been hacked (and may still be under attack).
You have no idea how long this has been going on, the level of damage, the persistence of the hack, and what (if anything) has been compromised.
You have learned that some hackers may gain access to network resources and stay relatively inactive until there is something of value to steal or exploit. Other hackers seek to embarrass or steal quickly, hoping to have immediate benefit from the access gained. You do not know which type of situation you have, what type of hacker(s) you are dealing with, if it is a lone instance or if there are multiple exploits across your organization’s vast network.
You found a way to answer at least some of these questions quickly. While you may not have all the answers, you have identified some characteristics of this hack and need a plan to move forward, which must include isolation of all access and compromised systems, identification of hacking methods used (i.e. what was successful and what was not), and if the hack is a compromise that must be reported per the governance required of your type of business or industry. Share your basic plan for identifying the extent of the damage/access/breach. Who/what has hacked your organization? What was the goal? What can you do to immediately triage the organization’s network? What specific steps can be taken? Who should be notified? Do you alert your customers/patients/students/stakeholders?
The following resource may be helpful in learning what to include and what tone to use for the summary of the hack. It also shows how to write a marketing executive summary but much of the basics and mechanics apply to the summary of the hack. https://www.inc.com/guides/2010/09/how-to-write-an-executive-summary.html
***My chosen topic for my ongoing assignment is digital forensics. For continuity I’ve attached my module 1 case study as mentioned above. I’ve also attached my other two assignments to ensure the respective individuals are utilized for their chosen roles i.e. CEO, CSO etc.***

Annotated Bibliography
Last week we conducted preliminary research to submit a research proposal that addresses a profession-related issue from at least two discipline perspectives.  Once your proposal (your research request) is approved, you are ready to start the primary research.
As a researcher, you must become an expert on your topic. The annotated bibliography is a compilation of sources you plan to potentially use in your research.  It encourages you to think critically about the content of the works you are using and their relation to your own research and ideas. The annotated bibliography also demonstrates that you have read and understand your sources.
For this week, you will prepare your annotated bibliography to include 6 sources (4 must be peer-reviewed).  List one annotation after the other.  Each annotation must be 150-200 words in length and include the information outlined in the steps below (see example annotation). 
Steps for writing an annotation:
·       Cite the source using APA reference style.
·       Describe the main ideas, arguments, themes, theses, or methodology.
·       Compare to other sources you have also cited to show similarities and differences.
·       Identify the observations or conclusions of the author.
·       Explain why each source is useful for your research topic.
Note** Annotations are original descriptions that you create after reading the source.  Never copy someone else’s annotation or use abstracts to summarize. 
Your completed assignment should be written third person use APA style formatting.
I have included my last week paper and example annotation. 

CASE DETAILS: Hello,
Please find your Client Summary below, which you will use to create your Case Plan Paper. You will find guidelines, tips, and example sections of the case plan on Canvas. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Client: A
Gender: Male
Race/Ethnicity: African American
Age: 23
Crime and time served: robbery, 4 years, will serve 2 years supervision upon release

Note: The client summaries are vague on purpose. You may need to infer some of the details from what is listed and what you’ve learned about reentry in the class/outside resources. You are also welcome to personalize the client profile if it helps you to narrow down potential solutions to help with their reentry plan. Please let me know if you have any questions
This paper will require you to build on the outline and research you have done this semester on your case into a fully completed case plan for your assigned client.  Please refer to the Case Plan Project Overview, Outline, and tips/example sections for additional information and guidance in writing your final paper.  This paper is a chance to demonstrate your understanding of the issues facing those released from prison and some of the challenges of the support and services available.  
Writing Style:
While you will be drawing from research and class materials, your plan should also treat your client as if they were a real person leaving prison and returning to Los Angeles.  You are expected to use APA formatting for all references but are allowed some creativity in terms of how you discuss your client and how they might respond to risks and solutions.  You are also welcome to give your client a name or fill in additional details about their life if it is helpful to explain your case plan.
Paper Outline
Introduction with an overview of the case
Include an assessment of risk for recidivism (risk, needs, responsivity model).  This should also include any strengths or protective factors that will be helpful for their successful reentry.
Reentry Area Sections (see breakdown below for what to include in each section)
Housing
Employment and/or Education
3rd Main Reentry Area (choose from mental health, physical health, substance abuse, or family, depending on what is most relevant for your client)
Other Needs- basic needs, money, transportation, identity issues/special populations
Conclusion/Summary
Highlight the biggest risks/needs of your client and some of the strengths and limitations of the overall plan you developed.
Bibliography (APA style reference list of all sources, including websites)
Details of what to include for each reentry area section (4 total)
In each of the four main reentry areas of your case plan, you need to address the specific risk/need for your client and the reentry process, an individual-level solution (with strengths and limitations), and a structural solution.  Please use the following information to help you structure each section.  
Explaining the challenge for reentry area (housing, employment, etc.):
Explain each item and its impact on reentry (i.e., why it is important for reentry). This could include references to peer-reviewed articles and any course material. 
What about your particular case makes each area a challenge for reentry? Or note if there are any strengths related to this issue that may help with the reentry process. 
INDIVIDUAL level solutions for reentry areas 
Propose how you plan to address each issue. Be sure to include specific details about the services/support they need, what organizations/programs you will use, etc. This is where you will need to include Los Angeles specific information based on what’s available.
For example: What type of housing? How much does it cost?  Where is it located?  Can they get to their job and necessary services from this location?  How much will they need to make to pay for their housing?  Will they need to take off work to get services or deal with criminal justice issues?  
Discuss the STRENGTHS and LIMITATIONS of your suggestions.
Why will the solution work, and what about it may it not work for your client?
You also want to prioritize the needs.  Which should you address first? Why? Is this an area that your client will require a lot or only a little support?
BE REALISTIC! Will your client be able to do all the things you suggest?  How?  What will be challenging about it? (think about responsivity and treatment readiness here)
STRUCTURAL level solutions for reentry areas
As you search for individual-level solutions, you may notice that it is often difficult for people returning from prison to meet all their needs because of a lack of resources or services. Please identify what programs or services are not currently available (or are limited, cost-prohibitive, etc.).  
What are your recommendations for policies and programs to help people successfully reenter society after incarceration?  
Sources:
Class material (including textbook, readings, lectures) to help you identify the issues, challenges, potential solutions, etc., to start your reentry plan.
Community resources and public information
This will be the majority of your individual recommendations and should include the details about any organizations or programs you want your client to participate in, jobs/housing you want them to obtain, etc.  These must be REAL resources that exist in Los Angeles.  
At least three peer-reviewed journal articles to support your plan 
These articles can be used to help explain the risk/need for your client, justify a particular plan or solution, or be an example of a type of structural solution such as a policy or practice.  
You can use both articles for one reentry area or use them for different areas.
Format:
Papers should be written in 12 point font, 1 inch margins, double spaced, with headings for each section and subheadings to identify the individual and structural solutions.  
All citations must be in APA format.  
Please include a title page and reference page.
Grading:
This paper represents efforts and knowledge from the entire semester and replaces any traditional midterms/finals, so please ensure your work reflects that level of effort.  There is no page minimum since different clients and solutions may require more explanation than others. Still, I encourage you to review the example sections for an idea of the level of detail and explanation required to do well on this paper.  
Students are not only graded based on addressing all of the required information in the outline but also on the level of detail and analysis demonstrated in the description of the risks, the specifics of the solutions, and the understanding of the strengths and limitations of the solutions for the specific client.  Papers that only superficially address the required information or provide overly generic solutions with little analysis or relevance to the client will lose points.  Papers flagged with 50% or more AI-generated content will automatically be marked 0 until the student meets with me to establish the academic integrity of the submission.
Tips:
Please note: This project requires you to provide SPECIFIC recommendations for services (ex. if recommending treatment: What kind? Why? Where will they get it? How long? Does it cost money?)  
You can use any class materials for more information about creating a case plan, types of treatment, services, and strategies for supervision, motivation, etc. 
You will also need to research what ACTUALLY exists in the community.  You cannot make up any resources or programs; they all must be real options for people returning to Los Angeles.
There are many different ways you can create a case plan.  There is no exact right answer when it comes to your plan.  You just need to be able to justify your recommendations and identify your suggestions’ potential strengths and limitations.
All of the solutions should be coordinated (i.e. the client should be able to use each of the solutions without conflicting with/or duplicating a solution.  For example, If you  find low-income housing close to the person’s workplace, you would also need to make sure the housing would work to get to the Parole office, treatment, etc.)

So we will be using the same textbook that I had sent as a pdf.
