Creating an infographic

Your final project will involve creating an infographic (Links to an external site.) on how racial disparities, equity, and/or injustice affect one area of the justice system. The infographic should be centered on one of the segments of the justice system we studied in the course this semester (e.g., juvenile justice, policing, courts, corrections, sentencing, capital punishment). For this assignment, you are asked to use these graphics to dispel commonly shared mis- and dis-information you have seen on social media and/or the news about racial/ethnic, injustice/justice, and equity as it relates to the selected area of the justice system.
You are welcome to create your own infographic using whatever software platform you prefer (e.g., word, powerpoint, photoshop, etc.). You may also find many infographic templates and ideas online by searching google, or recommended websites such as canva.com (Links to an external site.) or visme.co (Links to an external site.) that allow you to edit existing templates for free.
The goals of this project are to 1) debunk common misconceptions about race and ethnicity in the justice system; 2) use data, science, and facts to support your position/demonstrate the level, type, scope, and/or impact of racial disparity in the selected segment of the justice system; and 3) create a visually appealing product that you could share in online platforms.
This project is worth 75 points and is due by 11:59 pm on Sunday November 28th. To submit, upload a PDF, PNG, or an easily readable version of the infographic via webcourses.

Position Paper: Defense of Strongest Position on Threat Issue Assignment Instructions

Overview
The purpose of this paper is to rebut your position in Position Paper: Defense of Weakest Position on Threat Issue Assignment. You must convince the readers that the position you defended in your assignment was wrong, or inadequately supported by the evidence. As such, the information provided must be based on a strong foundation of facts with evidence from credible academic and scholarly sources. Remember, peer-reviewed articles are best. ALSO, by now you should have a firm grip on the difference between a supportable conclusion, and mere opinion. Submitting mere opinion will cost you a lot of points. It is REALLY helpful to the instructor if, when rebutting something you said in your previous assignment, you actually quote yourself (previous statement) and perhaps even note the evidence that supported that assertion, THEN rebut that statement/assertion by presenting either contrary evidence, or by redefining or expounding upon the weaknesses of that prior evidence. That kind of format/organization is very helpful to the reader in evaluating the weight of your argument/counterargument.

Instructions
Any of the references used in your Position Paper: Defense of Weakest Position on Threat Issue Assignment may be used again, however 3 new references are required. In addition, the textbook (chapters 9–13) must be used as a reference to cite at least 1 countering argument to your first Position Paper Assignment.
The paper should follow strict APA guidelines. All sources must be properly cited.
The paper must consist of 900–1,200 words.
At a minimum, the following sections are required:
Summary of issue/conclusion you presented in Position Paper: Defense of Weakest Position on Threat Issue Assignment. In one or two paragraphs, summarize the issue you raised/supported in the first Position Paper, and highlight your main point(s). This aids the instructor in making sure you are “on task” per the instruction. This element of your paper is worth ten points.

Position Statement – A brief paragraph identifying the issue(s), with a position statement (Develop a clear and concise position statement that rebuts or counters the position in your previous paper).

Review of Literature – This heading should have at least two subheadings (Background of Opposing Position and Supporting Evidence). Since this is a review of the literature, adequate citations should be included within each subheading. Three new (not previously used) sources must be used, and correctly cited.

Conclusion – Provide recommendations and possible courses of action. Citations can be used here to support your recommendations.

Discussion questions wk 4

Topic 1: Current Events
Research current events related to the course topics covered and post at least two of these events to the Discussion Board. Within your posting, describe how your chosen items tie to the course so far. You may use the Library or any other outside resource for your research. Be sure to use proper citation.

Topic 2: Need for Preparedness
As outlined in the readings, communicating the need for preparedness can be a very daunting task. During Hurricane Katrina the local news channels showed thousands of residents stranded at the Superdome. Some theorists argued that the local, state, and federal governments should have played a larger role in the evacuation process, while others argued that the individual residents should have taken proper precautions. Explore these arguments further in the discussion. How much of a responsibility for preparedness rests with the individual? With the community? With the local, state, and/or federal government?

Topic 3: Preparedness: Community and Business Sector Partners
It is a recognized principle that a plan involving the coordinated efforts of multiple resources will produce the best results. The private sector is emerging as an increasingly important component as a sector partner. As an emergency coordinator, how would you recruit and involve community and business sector partners in preparedness and response programs and activities?

Driving problems

In the dark ages (before Peyton) my wife was driving to work one morning.  She was stopped by a police officer on Route 128.  When she asked why she was stopped, the officer informed her that her back license plate needed to be secured by three screws, but she only had two (there is no such law).

Okay, that part is true.  Now suppose the following.  When the officer approached the car, he couldn’t help but notice that there was a headless corpse on the backseat, along with an illegal sawed-off shotgun.
Are the corpse and the shotgun admissible at trial?  Why or why not?
