For this assignment you are only asked to organize your thoughts and submit a proposal for your presentation due in Module 3. You can look ahead to Chapter 10: “Minority Youth and Crime” to help outline your thoughts. For your presentation (due in Module 3) you will be asked to record a video segment of yourself describing the issues facing minority youth and then identifying one youth program that is impacting youth positively. You can look at non-for profit organizations, police department programs, after school programs, etc. For this assignment, please only submit a one one page proposal that outlines your thoughts about the program you have selected for your recorded presentation that is due in Module 3. Include the program’s mission, their funding source, their positive and/or negative outcomes, etc. Explain how you found your information, the conclusions you have made based on your research and any reform recommendations that you may have. A program whose description relies solely on a Web site is not satisfactory for a college-level assignment. Your sources for this assignment and its companion assignment in Module 3 must be scholarly. I recommend that you consult the NIJ’s CrimeSolutions Web site at https://crimesolutions.ojp.gov/ for an appropriate program that has legitimate research to back it up. If you find research challenging, please consult the ASU Librarians for assistance at https://askalibrarian.asu.edu/ The Writing Center can also assist you in composing your assignments: https://tutoring.asu.edu/student-services/writing-centers.
