This case study final project is designed to provide an opportunity for students to apply the concepts developed in the course to a contemporary issue or administrative challenge facing a criminal justice organization. Since this is a course on criminal justice administration, the focus will be on a problem facing the organization related to implementing law, developing policy, serving constituents, organizational capacity, or other operational issues.
Please submit a rough draft of your final paper case study. This should be at least 6-8 pages in length and fairly well developed. You should have all of your sources listed on your reference page at this point. This part of the assignment is worth 150 points.
As you work toward the final draft of your paper, keep the following in mind:
The final report should be written an APA format, and the presentation should be done in PowerPoint. Your paper should include the following:
A cover sheet the provides the title of your paper, your name, this class and the date
Your paper does not need an abstract or table of contents
The body of your paper should be 8-10 pages, double-spaced with 12-point font. Do not double space between paragraphs. Headers are fine if they used appropriate and do not affect the flow of your paper. Please number your pages.
Your reference page will be the last page. Make sure you properly cite all your work in you paper using APA format. If you did not do the research, you must cite the work. Only include references that you actually cited in your paper.
Be sure your paper includes proper spelling, grammar and punctuation. Do not use “I” or “We” in your paper.
It’s always good to have a second set of eyes on your paper. Before you hand it in, use the Writing Center or a trusted colleague to read through your paper.
