Take the time to identify and explain each of the seven criteria. Use your own words to explain what they mean. Use examples of a real or imagined policy to explain each criterion, so that it is clear to a reader who has not read this article and has little knowledge about criminal justice. What are the key ideas and concepts to keep in mind and apply as we go through the course?

Make sure to practice criminal justice in-text citations and references in all your assignments. It is especially critical for weeks where we have multiple sources. Submit as a Word document, 500-700 words, 20 points

Case Study 3
Mr. Marley, age 91, is admitted to the intensive care unit following a stroke. The stroke progressed from mild hemiparesis and difficulty speaking to complete unresponsiveness and an inability to swallow. His daughter feels certain, based on prior explicit conversations with her father, that he would not want to have any treatment that would prolong his life and leave him in a severely disabled state. Mr. Marley’s oldest son disagrees with his sister’s assessment of their father. The son claims that their father still has a strong desire to live, and that he has been very active in his church until this stroke. Because Mr. Marley cannot swallow, he cannot be fed. The family is asked about insertion of a feeding tube. It is explained to the family that without food and fluids, their father will die fairly quickly. There are no existing advance directives or a designated health care decision-maker noted for Mr. Marley.
