Criminal Law

Instructions

Throughout the United States, there are groups of people who are in immigrant, religious communities or indigenous people who are reluctant to trust members of law enforcement, nor wish to participate in any governmental or non-profit program even if their members would substantially benefit from participating in the design and implementation of a strategic plan. In many cases, this distrust of the criminal justice system can be due to language differences, cultural issues, or a previous history of discrimination within the criminal justice system against a group of people. The CEO of a non-profit that employs you has requested that you prepare a presentation.

Assess and recommend how you would be able to reach out and build participation with any such group in your state that has traditionally avoided participation in the development of criminal justice services in their community as it relates to the criminal justice system.

In addition, you will provide one or two slides that discuss the history and unique cultural nature of a group in your state you are focusing on, along with a news story that highlights the difficulty in getting their cooperation with law enforcement and the criminal justice system.

Support your conclusions with references from a minimum of five (5) journal articles or publications.

Incorporate appropriate animations, transitions, and graphics as well as “speaker notes” for each slide. The speaker notes may be comprised of brief paragraphs or bulleted lists.

Create a PowerPoint slide set or MS Moviemaker project creating the presentation. Include a recorded voiceover to pair with the PowerPoint or MS Moviemaker project. Think about who your target audience is and how your topic affects them.
