criminal justice system.
Write the paper in a narrative format, detailing what you
learned as the result of speaking with this person. Do not submit
a "question-answer" paper. 4) Compare and contrast what your
person says with relevant sections/chapters of the text. Outside
sources are encouraged. 5) When using the text or other
