Discussion Guidelines

Instructions:
Questions and topics posed in the Discussions are designed to promote thought and insight. Students must provide a critical review of the questions, topics and issues posed and substantively reply to the contributions of at least three peers. Individual postings should include a full discussion of the content of the question posed and explain how it
relates to the concepts in the weekly text readings and other resources. The postings should be analytic in nature and include comparisons/contrasts, and examples that can bolster your point. The Discussion is for your benefit and it is important to respond to the discussion topic and to engage others in a running dialogue.
Your initial post should be made by Wednesday each week. You should then respond to 3 or more posts. Note that at least one response to your classmates must be made before Sunday. If you make all of your responsive posts on Sunday, you will not earn full points for timeliness.

This can be accomplished by:
• Validating with additional evidence from the literature.
• Posing a thoughtful question with a commentary which generates further discussion.
• Providing an alternative point-of-view, with evidence and examples.
• Offering additional insight into how the concept might be understood, with evidence provided with real world examples.

You should be active in the classroom throughout the week and actively engaged in the back-and-forth discussion between your colleagues and the professor.

The Virtual Criminal Justice Alliance

ASSIGNMENT 1

Read the Criminal Justice Virtual Alliance background (above) prior to beginning your assignment. Note that this background information will be used for each assignment in this course. Also note that the role that you are assigned (according to the first letter of your last name) is the role that you are assigned for the entire course assignment.

Assignment 1 – Agency Description

This assignment is based on one of the following criminal justice components (select the component that corresponds to the first letter of your last name). In each assignment in this course, it will be from the perspective of this role that you will be expected to address each part of the assignment.

  • Law Enforcement (Last name begins with: A- E)
  • Courts (Last name begins with: F-J)
  • Institution-Based Corrections (Last name begins with K- O)
  • Community-Based Corrections (i.e., Parole/Probation) (Last name begins with P-T)
  • Private Security (Last name begins with U-Z)

Note: Within your assigned role provided above, you may take on a role within that broad category. For example, if you have a law enforcement role, you may take on the role of the Captain, squad, shift or precinct commander, etc… Whatever specific role you choose in the broader category which you have been assigned (above) is the role that you will take throughout assignments1-3 in this course. Students are encouraged to (reasonably) embellish on the character of the person they are assigned and play that role to the fullest. Keep in mind the role’s span of control and from whom else in the component you might need to gain support from to accomplish your goal(s).

Directions: For this assignment you are to write a paper addressing the following:

Describe the primary role(s) and function(s) of your component
Differentiate and discuss your component’s role and function from the other components (listed above)

Sergeant Assessment Writing Essay

You can check the strength of your body paragraphs by asking yourself the following questions:
1) Does each paragraph contribute to the essay by supporting the overall subject or central idea?
2) Is each paragraph unified around one central idea that is clearly stated in a topic sentence?
3) Are the paragraphs’ sentences coherent and follow a clear line of reasoning?
4) Is the general idea of each paragraph well developed and supported by specific evidence such as details, facts, examples, and reasons?

A paragraph fails to deliver when its sentences lurch from topic to topic and convey loosely related information. Be sure that your sentences fit logically and smoothly into one another, like the links in a chain. Body paragraphs should fall between 5-7 sentences.
