Instructions to the Research Paper
Need research paper and outline on leadership involving
corrections.
Post it separate from each other.
As you complete this assignment, it is important that you keep
in mind that the focus of this course is on the management,
administration, and/or leadership aspects of criminal justice
organizations.
With that in mind, focus your efforts on addressing a problem
area and solutions for that problem area that involve the real-
world criminal justice community. You must focus on proposing
a real-world solution to a real-world problem. This issue must
be applicable to the ability of the leadership of a criminal
justice agency to take constructive action on the problem(s) and
recommendation(s) that you identify and address. In those
respects, this assignment is more than a standardized research
paper, and provides you with an exposure to problems that real-
world criminal justice leaders face.
The Assignment
You will conduct sufficient web research to select a specific
criminal justice-related issue/problem that the management,
administration, and/or leadership of a major criminal justice
organization are, have, or should be addressing. The specific
problem and recommended solutions that you may review will
vary considerably based upon the quality of your online
research efforts. The better your research, the better you will
gain knowledge from this assignment. You may relate the
issue/problem to an agency/department in the area in which you
live or any other area of the United States.
To begin this effort you need take the following steps:

2. · Conduct sufficient online research from any web source
(including non-scholarly sources) that enables you to identify
what you believe to be a major criminal justice management,
leadership, and/or administration issue that the community has
not addressed on a widescale basis. While you may identify the
issue/topic from non-academic quality sources, remember that
only scholarly/academic sources maybe used as references in
the paper. You will need to be selective in conducting your
topical research to insure that you identify an appropriate
problem area that merits the attention of the senior management
of an agency.
· Once you have identified the general issue/topic, you will
conduct appropriate online research to determine that sufficient
scholarly/academic-quality sources of information are available
on the subject that you selected. If that does not occur, you need
to select a different issue/topic to address. The specific issue
that you select to address in the assignment should be based on
the volume and quality of web sources that you locate.
· Once you have identified that a sufficient quantity of
academic/scholarly-quality sources are available for your
project, you will conduct further detailed web-based research on
the issue. First determine that your references address how a
particular city, county, state, or federal agency has successfully
addressed the issue. The key here is to locate an organization
that has identified the issue and that has already developed a
solution to the issue. That effort will provide you with examples
of solutions that have been attempted and that were successful.
· Once these steps have been taken, you will identify a criminal
justice organization that has not identified or implemented a
solution to the same issue. This organization should have a
sufficient web presence for you to use their web-based data on
organization, structure, policies, budget, procedures, etc., to
allow you to shape your specific recommendation or solution.
Using this organization as a basis will provide you with a real-
world organization to use as your fictional agency. If sufficient

3. web data is available, you may find it easier to select an
organization which is relatively close to where you live or one
in which you already possess some familiarity.
· You will prepare your paper as if you were a mid-level
manager in the organization that has not implemented the
solution. You will presume that your paper is to be provided to
the chief of police, your sheriff, or the department head of a
federal agency that is represented by this organizational
example.
Using these basic steps and this basic approach to the research
process will provide you with a firm idea of the type of general
issues that the criminal justice community has determined to
merit senior management’s attention, provide you with
examples of organizations that both have and have not
addressed the key issues, allow you several topical options, and
permit you to accurately determine the extent of quality
reference material that is available. It will provide you with a
solid foundation of material for your use in structuring your
paper.
· Identify an issue that needs to be addressed.
· Document and discuss the general problem in a few paragraphs
or not more than 1 page.
· Document and discuss the significance of the problem to your
department (the significance discussion will contain the
majority of your references). The significance section of the
paper must contain an explanation of why the issue is
significant, a discussion of what is being done by other
departments or agencies, identification of what specific law/rule
(federal law(s), state law(s), or city ordinance(s)) by statute
number is applicable, and any other issues that can be identified
as making this issue of sufficient significance for it to come to
the attention of the agency head. Your discussion in this
significance section of the paper must be thorough and leave no
additional questions unanswered.
· Propose a solution in the form of policy recommendation or
specific guidance toward a new/revised policy. The solution

4. must address a minimum of 3 choices: do nothing, take an
incremental approach, and/or full implementation of the
recommended solution. The solution section of the paper must
have enough of an explanation of the solution so that a senior
executive would be able to make an informed decision solely
based on your written explanation. Your solution must be
provided in the form of a 1–2 page summary or a draft
recommended policy change. The solution must also have sub-
themes. Some subthemes are: impact to department, impact to
external stakeholders, and impact to budget. There may be other
sub-themes in addition to or in replacement of those listed
above.
Research Tools
It is highly unlikely that you will locate appropriate scholarly or
academic-quality references (journals, peer-reviewed articles,
government reports, scholarly studies, official statics, etc.) only
using a Google search. General interest magazines, popular
magazines, trade publications, blogs, Wikipedia, etc., are not
appropriate references for this project.
Format
· APA format
· APA information is available at the Liberty University Writing
Aids section of the University Writing Program website, the
American Psychological Associate website, and the Purdue
OWL website.
· Major sections will include a title page, an abstract, a body,
and a reference section.
· 8-page requirement
· The title page, abstract, and reference pages will not be
included in the 8-page requirement.
· As a minimum, headings within the body must be used to
identify problems, significances, and solutions addressed in the
paper. You may include other appropriate headings.
· A minimum of 10 web-based, relevant, secular references that
are of a scholarly/academic quality.

5. · A minimum of 2 biblical references that tie the general theme
that you address to a Christian perspective.
· Secular references will be cited using the standard APA
format.
· Following the current APA format for secular references, you
will ALSO provide a website link which can be used by the
instructor to directly access and evaluate the specific web
document used as a reference. This action is required to
facilitate appropriate grading activity.
· College textbooks and other textbooks, to include the textbook
for this course, will not be counted as a reference for grading
purposes. Quality web-based research and references are
desired. Printed/hard-bound books/references maybe used as
references, however, they will not be included in computing the
10-reference minimum web-based requirement.
· By volume, quotations must not be in excess of 10%–15% of
the paper’s narrative.
