I am wanting to show how Illinois’ utilization of the firearm owners identification (FOID) card has not lived up to the expectations when enacted. The FOID act has not stopped individuals from obtaining a weapon to commit a crime. Further details are below: The intended vision compared to how it is actually preventing crime. Based on the framework laid out in your lesson, you are to critically analyze an enacted state policy. You will want to choose a topic that has been in place long enough that you can find data to show how effective, efficient, and so forth it is. Use credible sources. This is not an opinion paper about a law. In this 5-7 page analysis (not including title page and reference page) you should: Establish the brief history of the issue Identify the major policy concepts and contexts Identify the stakeholders Review the development and implementation of the policy (what was the policymaking process?) Evaluate the effectiveness, efficiency, fairness, ethics, feasibility, acceptability, unintended consequences, costs, and maintainability. This is the most important part of the analysis. Provide analysis with recommendations for improving or modifying the policy (be sure to include your recommendations for adjustments, expansion, or alternatives).
