For this assignment, you will prepare a slide presentation utilizing software, and to assist you in your preparation, software options and instructions are listed below. As discussed in the Week 2 interactive scenario, as a hypothetical policy analyst, you have been asked to present an assessment of a law enforcement policy that addresses theory, process in policy, issues in social justice, and operations in law enforcement at a public meeting that includes leadership for local police departments. There will also be community members, interest groups, and representatives of local government, including the mayor, and representatives from the state government, attending your presentation.
Presentation and Accessibility:
Please include a verbal (audio) presentation for your slides. Prior to recording, prepare a script for the verbal (audio) material in your slide presentation. Your script should include the spoken words in your presentation to support accessibility. Each slide should have a script attached to it (the script for an individual slide may be placed in the Notes section for that slide). The script should not be placed directly on the slide, but instead, the slide should include a content structure that is consistent with the provided University of Arizona Global Campus Writing Center guidance on PowerPoint presentations.
Content:
In this assignment, you will reflect on the organization for law enforcement (local, state, and federal) theory, process for policy, policy in law enforcement, and issues in social justice. As you reflect on policies in law enforcement, think about issues in social justice and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) issues. Review material on organization for law enforcement (consider, for example, government web sources), and select a theory that has application in criminal justice. Consider the process for public policy and policy in criminal justice and models for policy. You will also need to consider interests (local, state, and federal) in policy and address how your selected policy relates to social justice.
Prompts:
After you review the assigned materials and the “Prepare,” “Reflect,” and “Take Action” tabs, please address the following prompts in your slide presentation:
· Examine organization for local, state, and federal law enforcement and how two theories (choose two) in criminal justice may apply to law enforcement policy.
· Analyze the process for criminal justice policy and the interests of local, state, and federal participants in the policy process.
· Explain each stage in two models for policymaking, purposes for policy agendas, and a public policy that affects a criminal justice issue.
· Assess how a criminal justice policy for law enforcement affects an issue in social justice and the criminal justice system.
· Consider how the prompts relate to the course learning outcomes and the learning outcomes for Week 2.
· Think about how the assigned materials could support your approach to the prompts.
· The first prompt focuses on organization for law enforcement and asks you to consider two theories in criminal justice applicable to law enforcement.
