Question: Discuss how critical thinking and problem solving can improve the rational decision-making process for criminal justice professionals. Make sure you cite literature that supports this concept.

Criminal justice administrators are often constrained by time and access to all of the facts or information needed to make rational decisions. However, some researchers have suggested that the boundaries of rationality in decision making can be improved. They suggest that critical thinking and effective problem solving can improve rational decision making, cultivate strong remedies to organizational perplexities, and provide valuable feedback on how well the solution meets the overall goals and objectives of the organization.
After reviewing the assignments, module notes, PowerPoint presentations, and articles in the Learning & Assessment Activities page, you will better understand why it is difficult for criminal justice professionals to make rational decisions given the many limitations, constraints, and issues surrounding the decision-making process.
For this essay, address the following question below:
• Discuss how critical thinking and problem solving can improve the rational decision-making process for criminal justice professionals. Make sure you cite literature that supports this concept.

Second Paper Assignment
Due in class in hard copy Tuesday, April 14th or earlier
Consider these two military portraits in the Metropolitan Museum: Captain George K.H.Coussmaker by Sir Joshua Reynolds, 1782 (Gallery 629, Acquisition #20.155.3) and Portrait of a German Officer by Marsden Hartley, 1914 (Gallery 910, Acquisition # 49.70.42).
Carefully view each of them in the museum. Thoroughly describe them. Although their titles and presumed content indicate sameness, they are quite distinct. Compare the treatment of their subject matter in the contexts of their creation in both the corpus of each artist�s practice and in the period in which each was painted. What do you think is the most important conclusion to be drawn from the comparison?
In order to consider the practice of each artist and the historic context of that work you will need to look beyond the paintings themselves. Your work should include citations and a bibliography. There is no minimum or maximum length that the paper should be.

Selling to the Government: Best Prospects for Small Entrepreneurial Firms.
One of the most lucrative growth areas for both domestic and foreign firms is selling to the U.S. government-especially the Department of Defense (DOD).
Research, analyze, and present a strategic business development plan for selling to DOD.

write a short paper (4-5 double-spaced pages including sources used page) on two (2) of the people featured in the American Portrait sections at the beginning of each chapter. Compare the two people and find out how they are similar. Then, contrast the two people and highlight how they and their experiences are different. Focus on why they are important and their historical significance. You should use at least two other sources of information in addition to the textbook. I expect this paper to have a bibliography and citations (MLA style is fine).

(Matt cvetic; A.philip Randolph; Superman; “America’s Sweetheart”; Walter Lippmann; Alice Hamilton; J.P.Morgan; Rosa Cassettari) CHOOSE ANY TWO OF THEM. thank you !

Assignment outline
The task is an individual essay and must be presented in an essay format as per the stated word count above. It is important that your essay or report is properly structured. Also, as this is an academic paper, you should draw on contemporary literature to support your paper. Remember that this individual essay accounts for 50% of your module assessment. Hence, bad performance will have a big impact on this module.

Your essay should include references to the appropriate literature (textbooks, journals and websites). Care should be taken when consulting websites as they are not all equally authoritative (for example Wikipedia is not peer-reviewed; therefore is not considered an academic reference website). A minimum of 5 different academic references must be cited, but a well-researched essay/report is likely to cite many more.

You are advised to keep a backup copy of the essay until you receive your grade and regularly back-up your work in the cloud (SkyDrive, iCloud, Dropbox and GoogleDrive are good examples). A disk crash is not an acceptable reason for late submission.

This should be original design of a Problem Oriented Policing (POP) program field test. In other words, design a POP program that targets a specific crime problem in Detroit. Describe the program in detail (what are the independent and dependent variables, how will they be measured, and importantly of course exactly what the POP program is). Provide an overview of a plan to measure its effectiveness (e.g., an impact evaluation: How will you know that it worked?).
Thus the paper is going to require a bit of research about a specific problem that Detroit is facing crime-wise. The program can target any relevant aspect that POP programs are normally directed at, and ideally, it should harness community resources. Review examples and information on the website of the Center for Problem Oriented Policing.
Very simplified example: The police data shows that there have been five pedestrians struck by cars in the past year (one of them critically) on East Grand Boulevard (EGB) in the block just south of Gratiot Avenue. In each case, the pedestrians were crossing the street in the middle of the block, and during the day. East Grand Boulevard is a busy street with lots of commercial activity, and shops on both sides of the street. Walking up to, Gratiot to cross EGB is not convenient because it’s a long block and the lights are timed very long (it’s a six-way light system). Thus, your proposal is to install a crosswalk in the middle of the block to facilitate a safe crossing of the street. The crosswalk will have blinking yellow lights to call attention to it and will contain clear markings on the street. In addition, the city will lower the speed limit to 20 miles per hour in the four blocks south of Gratiot. (We can think about this program in two ways, either as a crime control measure [cutting down on jaywalking] or as a public safety program [reducing accidents]. Both of these are relevant police functions). Your plan will involve collecting data over the next year on reported pedestrian accidents on this stretch of EGB. You will also ask police officers on regular foot patrol on EGB to observe street crossings on this block to see if pedestrians seem to be using the crosswalk, and if drivers seem to be stopping for them when they do. This program should be more sophisticated than this, but just as focused.
Propose and justify in detail the design of the field test including the structure of the intervention, selection of the research sample, data required for measurement, and data collection sources and methods.
Creating a design proposal requires planning and a specific format for putting your ideas together. Chapter 4 of Maxfield, M., & Babbie, E. (2015). Research Methods for Criminal Justice and Criminology (7th). Stamford, CT: Cengage Learning outlines this process and gives a summary overview of what the proposal should look like. The following list provides the elements of a research proposal.
1. Problem or Objective
2. Literature Review
3. Research Questions
4. Subjects for Study
5. Measurement
6. Data Collection Methods
This proposal should include all six elements but the fifth and sixth points should be in detail.
The assignment is for you to design an actual Problem Oriented Policing field test. This means that a crime problem must be identified that is suitable to testing in the field. The problem must be specific, and a solution (the program that will be field tested) must be formulated to combat the problem. Then the police (and other agencies, if needed or desired – this is typical in POP programs) have to do something specific to lessen or eliminate the problem. Then the program needs to be evaluated. Along the way data is collected to measure the problem, to implement the program, and to evaluate it.
The following is the definition of POP from the website of the Center for Problem-Oriented Policing:
“Problem-oriented policing is an approach to policing in which discrete pieces of police business (each consisting of a cluster of similar incidents, whether crime or acts of disorder, that the police are expected to handle) are subject to microscopic examination (drawing on the especially honed skills of crime analysts and the accumulated experience of operating field personnel) in hopes that what is freshly learned about each problem will lead to discovering a new and more effective strategy for dealing with it. Problem-oriented policing places a high value on new responses that are preventive in nature, that are not dependent on the use of the criminal justice system, and that engage other public agencies, the community and the private sector when their involvement has the potential for significantly contributing to the reduction of the problem. Problem-oriented policing carries a commitment to implementing the new strategy, rigorously evaluating its effectiveness, and, subsequently, reporting the results in ways that will benefit other police agencies and that will ultimately contribute to building a body of knowledge that supports the further professionalization of the police. Herman Goldstein (2001).” Retrieved from https://www.popcenter.org/about/?p=whatiscpop
This entire description above is important, but review the bolded material especially. To have a POP field test, there has to be a specific problem identified, and then a response to that problem that is planned, put into place, and evaluated. Obviously you won’t actually implement a field test, but you must plan one, and plan for its evaluation. The dependent and independent variables must be clearly defined, and a plan for measuring them also very clearly laid out. Look around the POP website and find examples of programs, or look at the citations I provided in an announcement about POP programs, to get an idea of what a POP program is.
The paper here raises a number of complicated questions that are important, but that seem overwhelming and unmanageable. Make it easier on yourself. Choose an aspect of the problem that you can create specific program to deal with. Then describe how you would test it and evaluate it. The more focused, the clearer the problem and the solution will be; this will make it clearer how to collect and evaluate data, and to determine if your POP program worked.

Letter to the Governor/Death Penalty Assignment

For this assignment, I would like you to write a letter to the governor of your home state in favor of or against the death penalty. (Before writing, you should find out whether your state has a death penalty law.)

You will need to consider at least two of the following arguments from our textbook in your paper:

Arguments against Capital Punishment
• Violation of the Value of Life Principle
• Effect on the Criminal’s Victims or on Society
• Ineffectiveness as a Deterrent
• Executing an Innocent Person
• Denial of the Chance for Rehabilitation

Arguments for Capital Punishment
• The Effective Deterrent Argument
• The Economic Argument
• The Effect Upon Society’s Laws
• The Forfeiture of Killer’s Rights
• The Uselessness of Rehabilitation Argument

You may also include statistics from outside sources, but keep in mind this is not a research paper. You don’t have to use outside sources to get an A. Please cite the quotations from our textbook and statistics from outside sources according to MLA or APA standards.

You should structure your paper as an actual letter. Begin with something like “Dear Governor Hassan,” and end with your name. How you structure the paragraphs in between is up to you. Of course, if you use poor grammar, you’ll sound like an idiot and weaken your cause.

Hand in this assignment by uploading it as a Word document to the “Letter to the Governor Drop Box”
Page Length: 4 pages, double-spaced, Times New Roman 12 point font
Due date: 11:59 pm, Saturday, April 11
Total Possible points: 50

Read chapters one through six from Daoism’s Dao de Jing, http://www.chinapage.com/gnl.html, and chapters one and two from Confucianism’s Analects,http://eawc.evansville.edu/anthology/analects.htm, and write a one to two page paper comparing the two.

The International Market Entry Plan: Project Requirements
My organization is Canada based restaurant chain “Boston Pizza” and our product will be focusing on various kinds of Pizza. Please visit bostonpizza.com to see the menus and add some modification on menus that is suitable for Japanese market.
FINAL REPORT:
1. Select Client Organization and Product
In the final report, you will have to provide a description of your client organization (history, products/services, key competitors, strengths and weaknesses, and international operations, etc.) and a description of the product. If you are suggesting developing a brand-new product (“the next big thing”) or a modification of an existing product, provide a more detailed description of the product design and features.
2. Identify Market Success Factors
This section of final report needs to explain your choice of the key market characteristic that are critical to the economic success of your client in the new market. For example, the product may be successful only if the market is characterized by certain income level, population density, climate, Internet penetration, political stability, culture, or other factors. It is recommended that you select at least one factor from each of the following blocks:
a. Geography and demographics: location, climate, size, age distribution, education level, etc.
b. Economic environment: Income levels, unemployment, infrastructure development, ease of doing business, etc.
c. Political and legal environment: political and legal systems, political risk, government policy toward trade and foreign direct investment, property rights and intellectual property right protection, corruption, political freedom, etc.
d. Cultural environment: cultural values, predominant religion(s), language(s), social class structure, customer preferences and tastes, other factors that may play a role in the design, packaging and marketing of your product/service
3. Select a New Market
In the final report, this section should provide a list of markets (countries or regions) that satisfy your success criteria (as per point 2). From those, select two that are the most promising new markets for your client organization. Compare and contrast the two markets on each of the success factors identified as critical in the previous section.
Please note the goal here is not to describe the two countries in general. The goal is to focus specifically on the market characteristics that are essential for the success of your client organization and provide an in-depth comparison of the two most promising markets on each of the required market characteristics.
It may also be a good idea to compare the two markets in terms of the competitive environments: who will be your main competitors in each market, their strengths and weaknesses compared to your client organization, market share prospects for your client organization.
Based on the comparison of the two markets, select one where the success of the product is most probable. (1-2 pages)
4. Entry mode:
This section of the report will suggest the optimal new market entry more and provide a detailed explanation for your choice. It is strongly recommended that you first clearly specify what would constitute a viable entry mode (for example, gives a balance of control and risk), then generate a list of viable options (for example, licensing, franchising, joint venture with a local company, management contract, wholly-owned subsidiary, etc.), consider pros and cons of each alternative, and then select the one and explain why your team believes it is the most optimal choice. If you believe the product/service should be developed and/or distributed in a partnership with another company, provide additional details on how the partnership should be set up (contribution of each company, sharing of profits/losses, and how the partnership will be governed). Make certain to base your explanation on the market analysis performed earlier. (1-3 pages)
5. Target Market and Marketing Strategy:
This section of the report will describe your proposed product promotion strategy.
o • Product – explain the specifics about your product or service. Have a visual showing your product/service. If it is currently marketed in the States (or
elsewhere) explain what specific adaptations are required for this new market
o • Promotion – Make sure to explain what advertising channels would be most effective, why, and how exactly the product could be advertised (not just where, but also how). That is, explain the exact steps needed to launch and run the advertising campaign (for example, how an ad could be placed in the proposed newspaper, TV program, or social media site) and how much will it cost. Explain why the proposed advertisement medium is better than available alternatives. If applicable, include suggestions for the ad design, slogan, graphics, etc. When appropriate, it may be a good idea to first clearly articulate what your goals are (for example, low cost, large audience, etc.), then consider alternatives, then select the optimal option. Also, comment on expected marketing challenges (for example, language and cultural differences, legal differences with respect to marketing, packaging, advertising, content information, etc.) and suggest solutions to these challenges. Make certain to base your explanation on the market analysis performed earlier.
o • Place/Distribution – Provide specifics for the general market entry strategies you identified in 4.
• Price – explain the type of pricing strategy you will use (e.g., differential pricing, price skimming, penetration pricing, psychological pricing, promotional pricing)
(3-6 pages)
Report Format
Your team must collaboratively produce and submit one team report that addresses all questions listed above. The report must not exceed 20 pages, excluding the reference section and appendices with statistics, charts, maps etc.
The final report must include all of the sections listed above (one for each point 1-5).
Additionally, please provide at the beginning of the report an Executive Summary that includes (1-4 sentences per point, up to 1 page total):
– Organization information
– Product/service description
– Key market characteristics needed for the product/service to be successful
– Suggested market and a brief review of how it’s the optimal choice for the product/service distribution
– Market entry mode
– Staffing strategy
– Marketing strategy
A picture is worth a thousand of words, so use of figures, graphs, pictures, as well as tables is encouraged. It is recommended these are included in the main body of the report. However, if you feel compelled to add additional important information that your client organization will have to see to fully understand your proposal, feel free to add an appendix.
Please format your report according to the following:
– Use the template provided at the end of this document for the title page of your team report (Appendix 1). The title page of the report must contain names of all teammates. If some of your teammates did not participate in the project, list their names on the title page of the report, and add a note indicating that these students did not participate.
– Number all pages in your team report.
– Margins should be 2.5cm (one inch) at the top, bottom, and sides of the page.
– Font type should be 12-point Times New Roman throughout the report.
– Double-space all body text.
– Indent the first line of a new paragraph.
– The text should be left-aligned.
– In-text citations should include only the name of the author(s) and the date of the publication. Full references (author, year, title of the publication, volume, issue, page numbers, publisher; for website sources, use proper referencing for website addresses and include date of access – see APA style) should be provided at the end of the report. APA reference style is required.
– Wikipedia is an excellent resource to begin your research, but it is an inappropriate source to cite in your paper. Instead, you must find the source behind the Wikipedia entry and verify its accuracy.
