DQ 3: Working as a correctional officer can be very challenging. Frequently new applicants for these positions dont realize the demands of the job and end up quitting while undergoing training or soon after beginning work in an institution. To help avoid this problem, the New Jersey Department of Corrections (DOC) has prepared a questionnaire for potential applicants that asks them to consider the often tough and even dangerous situations they may face as a CO. The DOCs intent is to make sure that applicants understand what the position of CO may entail so that those who are unwilling to to perform certain tasks will not apply. Read the questionnaire below and think about your responses to the questions asked of the applicants for the CO position. Then view the DOC corrections officer training video (in 2 parts). Finally, watch the video that describes the staff shortage problem in Texas prisons and how this can be very risky for the COs working there. After completing these tasks (reading the questionnaire and watching the videos), follow the directions for posting your response to the questions below.

Create your initial post on the DQ 3 Discussion Board in response to the following questions:

Both the NJ DOC training video and questionnaire attempt to prepare individuals for a career as a correctional officer. But, based on what you know can occur in a jail or prison setting (for example, the situation in the Texas prison), do you think that COs are prepared for the reality of the job? Why or why not? What is one improvement that can be made to the CO training and one question that can be added to the CO applicant questionnaire that would help future COs? You must also discuss something specific that COs could learn by watching the Texas prison video. Your response must be at least 3 paragraphs (of 3-5 sentences per paragraph) in length.

Return to the Discussion Board and read over the posts of your fellow classmates. Choose at least one classmate and create a post responding to his/her initial post on the Discussion Board. Your response must be at least 1 paragraph of 3-5 sentences in length.

Important: 1) Note that there are 2 separate due dates for your initial post and for your reply to a classmates post. 2) Do not cut and paste or copy any text from the book–all answers must be in your own words.

Police and unfair police brutality

(1) Present and analyze a significant public policy problem related to the First Amendment based on your topic. Describe your research problem. In other words, discuss why is this issue important to the public? How is it a First Amendment-related problem? Why is it urgent that something should be done about this problem? (You will argue for solutions in the NEXT essay. Right now, establish why it is important).DO NOT MAKE AN ARGUMENT YET! JUST DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM THAT IS CURRENT NOW.(2) Frame this problem with motives or warrants, which are current examples or incidents that demonstrate the problem to your audience. What has happened recently that makes this an urgent current issue? Provide examples of this problem.(3) Summarize and critically evaluate the various debates, perspectives, and arguments (pros and cons) made by credible people and organizations about your topic. What are experts saying about this topic in recent years? Provide examples of pros and cons.AGAIN! YOU ARE NOT MAKING AN ARGUMENT YET. Just present what scholars and experts are currently saying about the problem.(4) Explore historical dimensions of your topic that deepen its relevance today. THIS SECTION WILL BE 70 to 80% OF THE FINISHED PAPER, AND IT WILL BE THE LONGEST PART OF ESSAY #2. What is the historical background of your problem? If you feel like it is a very recent problem, think more widely about it. Try to go back many centuries. For example, if you write about censoring the Internet, write about censorship in general for the past few hundred years (or past thousands of years). You can limit yourself to a specific country, such as the U.S., but do not just go back 10 years or even 20 or even 50. Push further back.This can trip up some people. Don’t be overly narrow. If you tell me you’re your topic is “only 20 years old,” I’m not going to buy it. I’m going to ask you to think as widely as possible about your topic in this essay. For example, if you are addressing problems related to recent technology, such as social media and its current effect on the First Amendment right of free speech, think about how humans have communicated in general before the computer age. Explore the historical dimensions related to your topic, or extrapolate a wider topic from your narrower one in order to trace its history. I’m expecting everyone to find a historical perspective on your topics. Think of the historical analysis as tracing the “family tree” of your topic.One major purpose of doing the historical analysis paper is to slow the research process down. You have to get to know the background of your topic before you can make an argument about it, which you will do in a later paper.WARNING: Some people rush into an argument in this paper, and then are sorry later. Just follow the above prompt carefully, and you will avoid this.Using sources: You do not have to use sources citations or direct quotes in the proposal, but you can. If you do you will be ahead in the writing process. However, it is important that the proposal (first draft) is written in your own words before you integrate research sources to back up your words.
