For this final paper, students will complete an interview research project. Students will select a topic relating to criminal justice such as an issue relating to crime or the application of justice and then interview a criminal justice professional about the topic.
There are two parts to this research paper: the research and the interview. Research requires learning more about a topic relating to the criminal justice system and synthesizing the information to produce a written report. The interview requires that you interview a criminal justice professional using questions you created.
The first part requires that you identify a topic/issue you are interested in that relates to the criminal justice system. You will then need to conduct research on the issue using academic journals and/or books.
The second part requires that you “get into the field” and interview at least one criminal justice system professional (i.e., police officer, dispatcher, judge, lawyer, deputy sheriff, deputy probation officer, etc.) to ascertain how the issue impacts that practitioner or the system.
In the paper you will need to (1) define the issue, (2) review the research on the issue, (3) describe how the issue impacts the criminal justice system or practitioner, and (4) demonstrate familiarity with the role, processes, and procedures of at least one aspect of the criminal justice system (law enforcement, courts, and corrections).
Topic choice: The list of potential topics is almost limitless. You should choose a topic that interests you. It could be a topic that you have discussed in other classes, or something you have seen on television that has peeked your curiosity. The topic must impact at least one aspect of the criminal justice system and have an associated literature to that subject. Some possible topics: race/ethnicity issues, juvenile offenders, mental health and the criminal justice system, racial profiling, female offenders, the impact of various crime policies (three strikes, medicinal/recreational marijuana, gang injunctions, etc.), the role of religion in prison and rehabilitation, how widespread is the use of forensic evidence, how has technology changed crime, the investigation of crime, or the processing of offenders. These topics are just a few samples I offer as examples to you Actual topics should be more tightly focused.
Research: Students are expected to search online databases for articles that relate to their topic and write a review of the research topic. It is expected that 5- 8 works (not assigned as course reading) from respected journals or edited volumes in the field will be used. Students should ask for help from the instructor if they are unable to locate appropriate reference materials. You should be prepared to explain the steps you have taken on your own before seeking my help.
Interview: The phone book and the internet list contact information for law enforcement agencies, jails, prisons, and the courts. Most criminal justice professionals are happy to help if you identify yourself as a student. The instructor can help facilitate interviews with criminal justice professionals as necessary and upon request. After completing research on your topic, you will need to develop a list of 8-10 questions to ask the individual you have chosen to interview. You will need to schedule an interview either via Teams, Zoom, or in-person. Do not email a list of questions and await a response. This should be a live interview.
Students should include the following headings/sections in their paper:
Introduction
This section should introduce the topic and explain what the goal of this paper is. It should also define the issue using statistical information such as facts. (1-1.5 pages)
Literature Review
This section should review the literature on the topic, be sure to cite all sources and synthesize the material. (2-4 pages)
Interview
This section should identify the person interviewed, including their position and what they do. You should use an essay format to discuss the response to the questions asked. It should also include how the issue impacts the criminal justice system or practitioner. (1.5-2 pages)
Scope
This section should demonstrate familiarity with the role, processes, and procedures of at least one aspect of the criminal justice system (law enforcement, courts, and corrections). (2-3 pages)
Conclusion
This section should be a summation of what you just wrote about, it should bring it all together and provide a concluding statement about how the issue impacts the criminal justice system. (1-2 pages)
References
This section should be a complete, alphabetical list of all sources used in APA citation style.
