What is the average years of education for Group 1 (Narcotics Investigators)? What is the Average years of education for Group 3 (SWAT Officers)? What is the p-value for your ANOVA model? Is the p-value greater than or less than 0.05? Do you reject or accept the null hypothesis that states, “There is no difference between the groups in years of education.” Why did you reject or accept the null hypothesis? Which group, on average, has the most years of education?

Data analysis in criminal justice

OBJECTIVES
Your police agency is interested in understanding whether there is a difference in education level among police officers in different specializations, such as Narcotics Investigations, Traffic Enforcement, and SWAT. This type of information can help determine whether particular educational backgrounds are more likely to end up in particular units, which could be helpful for recruiting and diversity purposes. One way to investigate this is through an analysis of variance (ANOVA). ANOVA is a type of analysis that helps determine whether there are differences on a continuous variable (such as years of education) among different categories or groups (such as police unit).
You have been tasked with conducting a study comparing the years of education completed between different officer specialization groups. Group1 is Narcotics Investigators, Group 2 is Traffic Enforcement Officers, and Group 3 is SWAT Officers.

This assignment has 3 steps.
Step 1: Review the 3 videos at this site.
Use the information from the videos at the link above and what you learned in your intellipath lessons to help conduct this analysis and answer the questions that follow.

Step 2: Follow the instructions below to conduct the ANOVA in Microsoft Excel. The data you will use is in the following table:
Subject Group 1 Group 2Group 3 1 12 14 18 2 14 12 18 3 14 14 18 4 14 14 17 5 12 16 20 6 18 18 16 7 12 18 12 8 13 16 14 9 19 18 12 10 12 16 12
For reference: Group1 = Narcotics Investigators, Group 2 = Traffic Enforcement Officers, Group 3 = SWAT Officers; 12 = high school/GED, 14 = Associate’s, 16 = Bachelor’s, 18 = Master’s, and 20 = Doctorate

Steps for analysis in Excel:

  1.  Cut and paste the data from the table above into Microsoft Excel.
  2. Click the Data tab and then the Data Analysis button to open the statistical analysis dialogue box.
  3. Choose “ANOVA: Single Factor” as the type of analysis.
  4. Click into the input range box, and then highlight all of the data (to include the headers) in the Group 1, Group 2, and Group 3 columns.
  5. Click the Labels in First Row box to ensure Excel does not try to analyze the column headers as data.
  6. Click the New Worksheet Ply button so that Excel spits the data output into a new worksheet. 7. Click “OK” to run the analysis.

Step 2: Answer the following questions using the analysis results that you generated:
1. What is the average years of education for Group 1 (Narcotics Investigators)?

2. What is the Average years of education for Group 3 (SWAT Officers)?

3. What is the p-value for your ANOVA model? Is the p-value greater than or less than 0.05?

4. Do you reject or accept the null hypothesis that states, “There is no difference between the groups in years of education.” 0 Why did you reject or accept the null hypothesis?

5. Which group, on average, has the most years of education?

 

Compare the use of computerized statistical tools for resource allocation and other decision-making in the criminal justice field.

Restorative justice within the system

Looking in a biblical context, and considering all involved within the criminal justice system, evaluate the use of restorative justice within the system in an about five page (1250 words in body) final paper.
To achieve maximum points for content and analysis, the following elements need to be thoroughly addressed.
Focus on how restorative justice may be different based on the type and severity of the crime committed.
Consider how restorative justice may be different based on race, class, gender, and media influence.
Discuss how restorative justice may be affected because of biological factors, psychological factors, and sociological factors.
Show how you could incorporate the use of restorative justice while at the same time ensuring the other goals of the system, including punishment and rehabilitation, were addressed.
Reflect on how the use of restorative justice influences and affects the various individuals involved in the criminal justice system, including but not limited to, law enforcement, court officers, corrections officers, victims, and defendants.

Deployment Plan

Exam Content

Imagine you are the commander of the police field operations bureau in which you are responsible for 30 police officers who will provide security for a community function. The community is roughly 150,000 in population, mainly a mix of working and middle class, with the primary religion being Christianity.

The community function is the Dogwood Festival honoring Easter. This festival occurs following sunrise Easter services and tracks through a middle-class neighborhood over a mile-long winding road. The residents have planted hundreds of dogwood trees, which will be in bloom. The mayor and city commission will lead the parade of citizens, with hundreds of vehicles, through the “Trail of Dogwoods.” This is a tradition in this strongly religious community and has been practiced for more than 50 years.

Several threats have been made on social media regarding this event. The regional joint terrorism task force has acknowledged that the threats are credible but unlikely. The threats originate from several anti-religious groups not known to be present in the area.

You have been tasked to develop a deployment plan for this event. The plan consists of 3 parts: deployment plan proposal, press release, and handout.

 

Create a deployment plan for the 4-hour event to be presented to the police chief.

Include the deployment of officers in terms of foot, bicycle, motorcycle, patrol car, and use of a small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).
Address security issues you identify along with mitigation of each issue.
Present your proposal to the police chief in a format using no more than 3 pages, double-spacing, and 12 Arial font or equivalent. Bullet formatting is acceptable.

Prepare a press release for the media about the plans to protect the event without revealing any sensitive law enforcement items. Format your press release using the following guidelines:

No more than 1 page
Double-spaced
16 font Arial or equivalent

Develop a handout for the participants involved in the event. Specify the rules and safety measures participants must be aware of and undertake. Format your handout using the following guidelines:

1 page
Triple-spaced
18 font Arial or equivalent
