I need support with this Law question so I can learn better.

In this assignment, identify issues confronting modern law enforcement, corrections, and the court system; reflect on policies that currently impact those components of the criminal justice system; and point out problems that exist in today’s criminal justice system.

Consider situations in the criminal justice system that have developed in the past 10 years. These situations will have surfaced in public media pertaining to issues, problems, and policies of law enforcement, corrections, and the court system.

Tip: Finding these concerns is easily accomplished using media search engines of major news publication archives. The hardest issue will be to decide which ones to read. You can search for death penalty, juvenile boot camps, or plea bargaining, for example.

Think of a topic and then evaluate whether or not it is a public concern. If you begin to research a topic and can only find 4 or less articles on it, then do not select it for a research concern. You will need to select a topic for this assignment where sufficient information exists to research. There are a number of large newspapers and online news archives. Also, the major news agencies will have online archives for issues they have reported on. These are just a few suggestions. The limitations on this project are determined by your own creativity.

Assignment Guidelines

• Address the following in 2–3 pages:
  • Identify at least 2 issues, problems, or policies in criminal justice for each of the following 3 components:
    • Law Enforcement
    • Corrections
    • Court System
  • This should result in the identification of a minimum total of 6 issues, problems, or policies.
    • Relate whether the areas identified are an issue, problem, or policy, and explain why.
    • Keep in mind they can be a combination.
    • The amount of attention paid by the media to the topics you selected may be an indicator of the level of concern the public holds regarding these topics.
      • However, it could also be an indicator of the agenda of that particular media outlet. Be careful, because the media outlet can be the driving force behind the issue, trying to make it a public concern.
  • Select 2 (out of the 6 or more you identified from the media search) of the issues, policies, or problems you found in terms of current public interest.
    • Select 2 topics that actually interest you, just to make the assignment more fun. There is nothing wrong with enjoying your research. You will find your end product is enhanced when you like what you are doing.
  • Create an annotated bibliography for the 2 research topics.
    • Find 8–10 peer-reviewed scholarly references (total) that pertain to your 2 topics.
    • Following each one of the individual references, prepare 2–3 sentences that describe what each reference is expected to contribute to your research.
    • It is not expected that you will read every word, but the abstracts should give you an idea of the content, and skimming through the document might also be helpful.
      • You may find other references later that better support and define your logic, but this is a start.
• Be sure to reference all sources using APA style. Include introduction and conclusion.

I don’t know how to handle this History question and need guidance.

Please discuss the following prompt: There is a story of a Buddhist monk who was on a ship with a maniac who was killing everyone on board. The monk eventually decided to kill the man in order to prevent further harm of others on board. Do you think this conforms with the principles set out in Buddhism? Why or why not? How do you think karma and compassion come into play in this story?

you will be responsible for completing short essays of approximately 500 words (about 2 pages double spaced). For each essay, you will be given a fairly general prompt for you to base your essay, with the intention that you will find a more specific thread tailored to your own interests to fit within the theme of the prompt. The prompts will be posted for each week on the corresponding module on Blackboard. This is also where you will submit your essays. You will only be required to submit five mini essays total for the semester, each due on a specified date found on the course outline, found at the end of this syllabus. In your essays, I would like you to use at least two different peer reviewed sources to help substantiate your points. One of the sources should come from one of the assigned readings, and I would like at least one other source to come from outside our course texts. There are some great resources out there to help you find appropriate peer reviewed source material. One place to find some good journal articles is JSTOR (www.jstor.org)

journal, etc. to help you with this task as well. I’d like you to avoid using websites, as often these are not the most reliable and lack peer reviewed status. When providing these sources, you must use the Chicago Manual of Style (CMS or Chicago Style). I will provide a useful guide on Blackboard for those of you who are unfamiliar with this style of referencing. Your essays will be graded on the following criteria:

a) evidence that the factual material called for in the question is presented and documented;

b) coherence of the essay in organization and structure;

c) ability to engage critically and analytically with the topic

d) evidence of creative thinking;

e) correct annotation of sources and presentation of bibliography;

f) correct spelling, punctuation and grammar.
