The opioid crisis has become a controversial issue that is becoming harder to ignore. In the context of the relationship between psychology and criminal behavior, substance abuse is one of the leading risk factors for criminal behavior. Therefore, criminal psychologists, public health professionals, and the community-at-large are examining the implications of the crisis, the most crucial of which appears to be a relationship between homicide and violent crime rates and opioid abuse.
For this discussion, conduct additional research on the opioid crisis using the University of Arizona Global Campus Library to ensure you are aware of the latest issues in the opioid crisis national debate. Then, briefly debate the issue with your classmates.
Choose one of the prompts below, and debate the issue from the perspective listed:
Prompt 1: Physicians are responsible and have caused the opioid crisis by overprescribing pain medications that are highly addictive.
Remember to provide your insight into whether rising violent crime rates stems from the opioid crisis as asserted in your assigned readings.
Prompt 2: The person taking the opiates is responsible for their own behavior and doctors should be able to prescribe whatever they want in any quantity they deem medically necessary.
Remember to provide your insight into whether rising violent crime rates stems from the opioid crisis as asserted in your assigned readings.
I pick prompt number 2. 

During Week 1 assignments and study, we initially examined the significance of maintaining public-private partnerships in combatting various threats to organization assets. We focused on private security operatives and public law enforcement agencies and the ways these entities can share information and work together to achieve mutually successful threat prevention and risk mitigation strategies and goals, particularly relating to all types of traditional criminal behavior, emergency management preparedness, and terrorism.
Our Week 6 assignments and study focus specifically on how security and intelligence units for private organizations (as described in Week 4 assignments) and government agencies, such as the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), can maintain collaborative efforts to prevent, mitigate, and manage risk in a way that protects an organization’s assets and indeed those of the United States more effectively.
In this regard, employing this week’s reading assignments, and ensuring your written responses are distinguishable from each other and follow the same sequence and order the questions are presented:
Explain how an organization’s cybersecurity program, particularly those operating in the DHS 16 critical infrastructure sectors, support our national security interests and, at the same time, add business value to its own assets. Use examples to enhance your response.
Discuss how organizations can partner with CISA to build a stronger cybersecurity workforce that serves both national and organizational pursuits.
Describe the technological advances that could potentially be exploited through such public – private partnerships to more effectively protect assets.  Provide examples using authoritative resources to support your response. 
From this week’s assigned readings, select one example of a public-private partnership. Describe what goals the partnership has, what industries it supports, and whether you believe the partnership serves its goals or meets its mission and how it does or does not serve its goals or meet its mission.

Introduction
There are hundreds of jurisdictions in the United States on the state and federal level. Each jurisdiction can have its own set of laws, including rules of evidence and procedure that govern how an individual’s rights are protected. A defendant may receive greater protections in one state jurisdiction than in another. During our review of the material, in the book, understand that often you’re learning about federal law or common law. However, Florida law mirrors federal law very closely. For example, the Federal Rules of Evidence and Florida Rules of Evidence are nearly identical substantively and are even numbered similarly. Florida simply adds a “90” in front of its rules of evidence. Federal Rule of Evidence 403 is 90.403 in Florida. As we learn more about the different laws that govern criminal procedure feel comfortable that your knowledge will be easily applied to any Florida scenario. Unless specified, please use Florida law when answering your assignments.
Case
View the video–Court Shorts: Right to CounselLinks to an external site.. Read the case of Rompilla v. Beard, in Chapter 12, Page 499 of your textbook; Was He Denied His Right to “Effective” Counsel?
Directions
Each FRCP assignment is an opportunity for you to explore and learn more about the rules of procedure for Florida. The rules of procedure are extensive, but once you learn to navigate them they will provide answers to most criminal procedure questions a person may encounter. You will apply the rules of procedure that are relevant to the legal scenario in your book. To complete your FRCP Assignment, you must:
Identify two rules of procedure that apply to the legal issues discussed in the case;
Summarize the meaning of two rules, including the relevant subsections;
Explain why you think the rules apply to the legal issues in the case (support your opinion by citing specific references to the language in the case).

CASE BRIEF ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS OVERVIEW 
In order to better understand the various parts of a legal
opinion, criminal justice professionals prepare case briefs. A case brief is a summary of a
judicial opinion that is created by 
the reader. The case brief includes an objective synopsis of
each major portion of the legal opinion.
For this Case Brief Assignment, you will create a case brief of the judicial opinion.
INSTRUCTIONS

pages The Case Brief must include the following sections: Caption, Facts, Procedural History,
Issue, Rule of Law, Holding, and Rationale. A heading must be provided for each section
of the Case Brief (for instance “Holding”). Format: APA

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, reflect upon your journey here at University of Arizona Global Campus. Think about your entrance into our school, your previous educational and professional experiences, and review how your knowledge and opinions of social and criminal justice have changed over time. Refer back to your own notes, classwork, and feedback from professors to be ready to evaluate your program of study and share your ideas with classmates and your instructor for this class. The focus of the Capstone Paper is to propose a resolution to a contemporary social and criminal justice issue through the application of information from a variety of related fields, which may include sociology, law, psychology, and ethics. A good place to look for topic ideas is in your previous coursework, including coursework uploaded into your portfolio on Folio. Specifically, you may find topic ideas from issues you became aware of in courses such as CRJ301: Juvenile Justice, CRJ303: Corrections, CRJ306: Criminal Law and Procedure, and CRJ308: Psychology of Criminal Behavior. You may find your topic anywhere; however, your undergraduate coursework is an excellent resource to help you generate ideas.
In developing a proposed solution to a modern social and criminal justice issue, you are encouraged to use the Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources table to identify and devise a workable plan. A good way to approach this paper is to consider it a detailed and thorough scholarly piece on a single, yet important, social and criminal justice issue. That is, by the end of the paper, you will be an expert on what the current research says about your chosen topic.
In your paper,
Create a clear thesis statement that identifies your social and criminal justice issue.
Summarize your chosen social and criminal justice issue in approximately one to two pages.
Describe what makes this an issue.
Provide data to show how this issue has made an impact on society.
Explain which social justice principles need to be addressed and why.
Detail the cultural and diversity issues present in your chosen social and criminal justice problem.
Describe how addressing your chosen issue contributes to the goal of a more just society.
Analyze the empirical research on your chosen topic.
You may use your Week 1 Annotated Bibliography to complete this section of the paper. Please ensure that the instructor feedback is incorporated within this section. Incorporating peer feedback is optional.
Propose a possible resolution to your chosen social and criminal justice issue.
Evaluate which branches of the criminal justice system are impacted/involved and how they either help or hinder the issue.
Analyze how the criminal and social justice theories (in relation to the United States Constitution) and landmark U.S. Supreme Court decisions impact your chosen issue and support your resolution.
Examine how the judiciary, corrections, and law enforcement systems address social equality, solidarity, human rights, and overall fairness for all and how these essential concepts impact your issue and resolution.
Evaluate how poverty, racism, religion and other sociocultural variables may apply to contemporary social and criminal justice by drawing information among the fields of, but not limited to, criminology, law, philosophy, psychology, science, and sociology.

Officer Narcissus is the supervisor of the sexual assault unit at the Saint Leo Police Department. The unit is made up of male and female officers. Officer Narcissus has a Facebook account which he accesses daily, sometimes from his department computer. On Facebook, Officer Narcissus has posted several photographs of himself, some of which are sexually suggestive. In others, he is dressed in a vampire costume biting the neck of woman. He has also posted photos of himself in his police uniform. He posts his opinions on politics, his gripes about his salary and hours, his sexual conquests, and his dislike of everything the mayor of Saint Leo, who is up for re-election, has ever done or not done while in office.
The Sheriff has received complaints from fellow officers and from the public about Officer Narcissus’ posts. The department’s code of conduct states that officers shall not engage in any activity that reflects negatively on the department.
The Sheriff went into Officer Narcissus’ office and turned on his computer. She did this without the officer’s knowledge. She saw that the computer had been used frequently to access Facebook as well as other social media sites. It was also obvious that the computer had been used to purchase sex toys and hunting equipment. She went to his Facebook page and saw all of the postings. When she was ready to shut down the computer, she clicked on one site that she had not heard of before. It turned out to be a child pornography site and there were photographs of children being sexually abused. The Sheriff wants to bring the officer in for questioning. When she informed the officer of this, Officer Narcissus told the Sheriff that she had no business using his computer to search for anything. Officer Narcissus stormed into the department and began dismantling his computer. The Sheriff and other officers stopped him and cuffed him and placed him in a cell.
The Sheriff wants to know what she should do now. Can she detain the officer? Can she question him? Does she have to give him any rights? Did she have a right to search his computer? For future reference, she wants to know what restrictions, if any, she can place on her officers’ use of social media sites such as Facebook.

Application project
The purpose of this exercise is to apply course content to a substantive topic of present-day
interest, including (but not limited to) those discussed in Part III of the course. The project should
be informed by the Research question, Annotated Bibliography, and Citation map, but it should be
addressed to, or usable by, a public audience. In other words, this project should communicate
your research and analysis of a present-day issue to a wider public, not just me as your instructor;
it should apply the six academic sources to a present-day issue in a way that is meaningful to the
public. The project can take any form that you want, such as a podcast, video, website, magazine
article, newspaper editorial, or blog posts, so long as it demonstrates that you have met the course
learning objectives.
Minimum expectations:
• the Application project should take into consideration the instructor’s feedback on the
Research question, Annotated Bibliography, and Citation map
THIS IS A DRAFT ONLY AND SUBJECT TO REVISION
6 of 12
• the project should be informed by six academic sources (i.e., peer-reviewed journals or
book chapters published by a university press), at least three of which must be published in
2021 or later. These can be the same as those used in the Research question, Annotated
Bibliography, and Citation map assignment.
• If your Application project uses a different research question and/or different academic
sources than those used in the Research question, Annotated Bibliography, and Citation
map, then the connection to course material (i.e., assigned readings) needs to be made
explicit.
• be at least 2,500 words OR 10 minutes in duration (or the equivalent thereof, depending on
what form your project takes)
• No matter what form your project takes, you must hand in a list of your sources cited in APA
Style.
