LASA 1 Analyzing Theories of Crime

You are an investigative reporter for a large news network. You are working on a news piece identifying how theories of crime explain specific crimes including the demographics of perpetrators and victims. You are required to make a thirty-minute presentation to your producers to convince them to run your story.

Choose a specific crime from the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program at the following:

• US Department of Justice, The Federal Bureau of Investigation. (2009). 2008 Crime in the United States: About crime in the U.S. Retrieved from

  http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2008

Research this crime using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Be sure to include the UCR and other crime reports in your research

Based on your research, develop a presentation that addresses the following:

• Define the crime. Include both the legal definition and others as necessary.
• Summarize demographics of the crime for both the perpetrators and the victim. Be sure to cover the following:
  • Gender
  • Ethnicity
  • Socioeconomic characteristics
  • Other relevant diversity issues
• Choose two theories of the causes of crime that have been discussed and analyzed so far in the course; apply those theories to the selected crime. Be sure to cover the following:
  • Explain the type of each theory in detail.
  • Discuss the development of each theory and the main theorists associated with them.
  • Compare and contrast the two theories of crime selected. Discuss the ways in which they fit with the crime and the specific demographics associated with the crime.
• Based on your research, develop your own hypothesis of the cause of this crime. Using the theories that you have chosen, you can develop your own “combination” theory.
• Give valid reasons and scholarly, peer-reviewed sources in support of your theory.

You are allowed to present your theory in first person; however, be careful not to abuse this privilege.

Your presentation should include the following:

• A title slide and a reference slide (these will not count towards the total number of slides).
• At least five sentences of speaker notes for each section to clarify anything not included in the slides. (As this is a presentation the slides should cover the main points and the details should be covered in the speaker’s notes.) The speaker notes should be properly referenced.

Develop a 10–15-slide presentation in PowerPoint format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M3_A2.ppt.

By Wednesday, October 21, 2015, deliver your assignment to the M3: Assignment 2 Dropbox.

Writing Assignment #3 will be a personal research narrative essay, which sometimes is referred to as an “I-Search” paper.
Background to this Essay:
In many classes in the past, you might have been instructed never to use the word “I” in your writing.  However, throughout this class, in both the response essay and the reflective annotated bibliography, you have been instructed that the use of the word “I” was totally acceptable, even encouraged.  In this essay, this use of first-person point of view continues.  This essay is a research essay in which you use the word “I.”
Ken Macrorie, a professor at Western Michigan University, wrote a textbook in 1980 called The I-Search Paper.  In the book, Macrorie criticized traditional research papers that students were often asked to produce in classes.  He designed, instead, a type of research paper that asked students to use the first-person point of view (“I”) in their papers, encouraged them to explore topics that were of interest to them, and required that they comment on their research journey in finding sources and information on their topics as much as on any arguments or conclusions they were making on their topics.
This writing assignment in WRTG 291 is informed by Macrorie’s approach, although it does not involve all elements of the research process he asked for.
In the e-reserves section of our class, you will find a chapter from Linda Bergmann, “Writing a Personal Research Narrative.”  Please access that chapter.
In that chapter, please read “The Personal Research (‘I Search’) Paper,” starting on page 160.
On page 160, Bergmann (2010) writes:

Although an I-Search assignment calls for a personal narrative, like most academic writing it is written to communicate to a particular audience, not for the writer alone.  Its purpose is to help you discover and communicate the personal and professional significance of your research to a particular audience.
Moreover, pages 161-162 in Bergmann’s chapter list some steps to take in organizing and preparing to write your paper.
Sample Personal Research Narrative Essays:
On pages 162-166 of Bergmann’s chapter is a sample personal research narrative essay.
Another sample I-Search paper can be seen by clicking here, although this example has fewer sources and fewer scholarly sources than this assignment calls for.
http://www.csun.edu/~ksm14372/I-Search.html

Moving from the Reflective Annotated Bibliography to the Personal Research Narrative:
For writing assignment #2, you wrote a reflective annotated bibliography on a topic related to technology.  In that assignment, for each of the articles you found, you wrote not only a précis of the article but also some vocabulary, reflection, and quotes from the article.
Hopefully through that assignment, you developed an interest in a focused aspect of your topic.  The following describe some examples of focusing your topic:

You may have conducted research on whether Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are effective classroom environments.  For writing assignment #2, you may have found 5-6 articles on MOOCs in general.

Perhaps, as a result of your findings, you have now done more research and have focused on MOOCs for a particular field of study (e.g., computer programming or creative writing).  You then found more articles related to not only MOOCs but also MOOCs for learning computer programming or MOOCs for learning creative writing.

You may have conducted research on cybersecurity.  For writing assignment #2, you may have found 5-6 articles on cybersecurity as a broad topic.

Perhaps, as a result of your findings, you have now done more research and have focused on cybersecurity and mobile devices.  You then found more articles related to not only cybersecurity as a general topic but specifically on cybersecurity and mobile devices.

You may have conducted research on technology in the health care industry.   For writing assignment #2, you may have found 5-6 articles on technology in the health care industry.

Perhaps, as a result of your findings, you have now done more research and have focused on the cloud computing in the health care industry.  You then found more articles specifically on this topic.
It is this research experience on which you will write the personal research narrative.

Examining the Sample Personal Research Narrative in Bergmann’s Chapter:
Note how, in the sample student personal research narrative on page 162, the student begins by providing the background that gave him interest in the topic.  He then discusses his first steps in researching the topic.  As he describes his steps in the research process, he uses expressions like, “I was astounded by…” or “This idea seemed valid to me, but…” or “…let me to wonder…” or “At this point in my exploration I have come up with a slight dilemma.”
For your personal research narrative, you want to follow the same pattern.  Describe to the reader what you thought when you started researching, what you already knew about the subject, what interested you in the subject, etc.  Then describe your various steps, commenting on what surprised you, what ideas did not seem valid to you, what research articles you may have questioned, etc.
You might consider your response essay, which was the first essay you wrote for this class.  The personal research narrative is, in some ways, an expanded response essay. In the personal research narrative, you may be responding to several authors while providing a narrative of your thought process and learning process throughout your research journey.

Requirements:
Your paper should be 1800-2400 words.   It should include at least ten sources, six of which should be scholarly.  The sources are to be cited and listed in APA format.

Additional resources:
In our class, in the e-reserves section, we have a chapter from the book by Graff, G. and Birkenstein, C, They Say / I Say: The Moves that Matter in Academic Writing with Readings. The chapter mentions various techniques to apply in stating what an author said and your response to the author. As was recommended for the response essay, it is recommended that you read through that chapter so that you might apply these techniques to this essay.

Submitting the assignment:

Please post a rough draft of your Personal Research Narrative essay as your instructor directs you by the due date your instructor provides.  After receiving feedback on your response essay, please use the comments from your instructor to help you to assess your own rough draft.
Please post your subsequent draft of the Personal Research Narrative as your instructor directs you.  The number of drafts you write will depend on your instructor’s arrangement as well as your timeliness in submitting the assignment.

The Situational Leadership Model paper consists of two parts to the assignment:

 

 

 

1)  An outline of your preliminary research on the situational leadership model with at least two scholarly references. Within your outline, discuss why you chose your topic, possible subtopics for focus (at least two), possible research questions you could investigate, and the relevance of your two scholarly references to your research. Make sure that your topics, research questions, and references provide a description of the model, leader behaviors, follower behaviors, and any other elements of the theory you chose.

 

 

 

Your outline should be at least two pages in length, double spaced, Times New Roman 12 point font, with appropriate APA style writing.

 

 

 

2) The research paper. In this research paper, you will submit the research paper topic with the answers to the following points:

How does this theory address organization change?

What are the leader’s behaviors and characteristics?

What are the follower’s behaviors and characteristics?

What situational characteristics does this theory work in?

Provide two examples of this theory in action. (This can be based on theory or your own experiences.)

Your paper should be formatted to APA standards. This includes a title page and a reference page.

 

Your research paper should include the follow sections:

*research paper topic or introduction

*name of the theory which is The Situational Leadership Model.

 

This paper should be a minimum of eight pages in length (excluding the title and reference pages). Be sure to include least four scholarly sources (no wikipedia).

Please only do one full page, please do 3 MLA citations from attachemnts that I have attached. Please do not use “I” please try to do an “A” Paper and leave out the word: but, to, the and…. words like that she does not like them. Please contact me with any questions: Here is the question that needs to be addressed: Analyze Jefferson’s list of causes -group them into three or four categories (economic, military, civil, religious and so on) and discuss at least one in each category as a way of explaining what the category is. If you compare one category with another decide which of the categories Jefferson felt was most important and why.

I don’t have a required number of citied sources, you can use as many as needed. My professor asked what we would like to conclude from this topic. I hope to identify preventative measures currently set in place; then, I would like to analyze the enforceability of current preventative measures. I’ve attached the paper guidelines

This week, please write about both of the following two topics. This is not a formal essay. Write about a half a page per topic, no more, and be as specific as possible. How does the form of the story – written as an instructional manual – contribute to the story’s effect? Does it make it serious? Ironic? Satirical? How and why do you think Diaz chose to write it this way? How would it be different if it were written as a third person narrative? Think about the three stories that we’ve read – “How to Date a Brown Girl, Black Girl, White Girl, or Halfie” by Junot Diaz, “When Mr. Pirzada Came to Dine” by Jhumpa Lahiri, and “What You Pawn I Will Redeem” by Sherman Alexie – and free write about how you feel all can be tied together. Do you see common themes? Do you see any similarities in how the stories are told? The characters, symbols, ideas? Explain. This involves reading three different stories

Many companies find they are forced to remodel their traditional hierarchical structures, which were originally built around functional specialization and centralized authority, to compete in today’s marketplace. Companies often draw on the following five tools of organizational design to make their organizations leaner, flatter, and more responsive to change. The five tools are:

• Empower managers and workers
• Reengineer work processes
• Implementing self-directed work teams
• Rapid incorporation of Internet technology applications
• Networking with outsiders to improve existing capabilities and create new ones

In addition, there are many managerial tasks that shape corporate culture and the leadership skills needed to engage the full organization to produce great results. Examine the dynamics of the elements that must be brought together to create a corporate culture, such as core values and business principles, operating practices and behaviors, ethical standards and attitudes, and work climate and people management practices.

Considering the five tools of organizational design, managerial tasks and leadership skills, examine the practices followed by your selected organization and include the following in a 8–10 page APA formatted paper in MS Word:

Describe which of the five tools of organizational design your selected organization uses to maintain and improve productivity while achieving cost savings. Use detailed examples in your response.

Explain how work groups are utilized in your organization to accomplish the stated goals of the company.

Describe the motivational practices used by the organization to promote better strategy execution. Include some illustrative examples in your response.

Explain how, if at all, the reward system in the organization ties incentives directly to achieving higher productivity and performance targets.

Explain the evaluation and feedback process used in your company to assess employee performance.

Identify the elements in the organization that affect how cultural change is implemented.

Describe the ethical model being used by the company.

Present your overall opinion of the organization’s corporate strategy approach. Is the strategy execution effort delivering the expected results? Explain and illustrate your conclusions.

Describe what specific actions have been taken to delegate authority to middle and junior managers and to create a sense of empowerment among employees. Explain and illustrate your answers.
