THIS IS A 2 PART ASSIGNMENT PART 1 3-5 pages in a bulleted list format Since your graduation from AIU, you have been working as the victims' assistant advocate for the office of the local county prosecutor.

You have decided to speak with the prosecutor, Mary, on behalf of Maureen, the college student who was a victim of date rape. You want to convince Mary to support a change in the prosecutor's policy of not prosecuting date rape cases when drugs or alcohol are involved. Maureen has a strict policy: when someone wants to speak with her about changing an established policy, she wants the person to submit a paper of 3 – 5 pages containing topic bullets outlining his or her argument for the policy change prior to meeting her. She feels this way, she is not blind-sided, and she has an opportunity to research the topic prior to the meeting. You follow her policy and write a paper using bullets only, hoping that you can persuade Mary and the chief prosecutor to change their policy or, at a minimum, meet with you for a discussion about changing the policy. Maureen knows other young women are being attacked and that very often, date rape drugs are being used.

PART 2
Deliverable Length:
PowerPoint presentation: 5-10 slides with notes
The prosecutor is getting feedback from local law enforcement
officers explaining that they are discouraged from making
arrests in cases of domestic violence and child abuse. They
claim that they have been neither making arrests in domestic
violence situations nor arresting both parties when they go out
on a call. It seems that abused women often go back to the
abusers, and children who get removed from the homes where
they have been abused often return after removal. These
occurrences have been especially demoralizing to law
enforcement.
One of your jobs in working as a victims' witness assistant is to
help educate law enforcement on the nature and behaviors
involved in domestic violence and child abuse. The prosecutor’s
office has decided that you should present each of the
following topics for the next training session:
Topic 1: Domestic Violence:
Your goal is to educate law enforcement to use best practices
in the investigation of domestic abuse cases. Include the
following topics:
How to approach a domestic violence situation when responding
to an emergency call
When the parties should be separated
How to interview parties
What information needs to be in the report and why
How best to help a victim
What laws protect victims, including the use of protection
orders
Why victims return to abusers
Length of time it may take to stay away from their abusers

4. Arrests
The legal standard needed to make an arrest in a domestic
violence case
What evidence should be collected at the arrest
Are dual arrests effective law enforcement
How to assist domestic violence victims
Reluctant victims
Help for victims
Topic 2: Child Abuse:
Your goal will be to educate law enforcement about the
dynamics of abuse and neglect cases. Include the following
topics:
Signs of child abuse and categories (physical, sexual,
emotional)
Difference between abuse and neglect
Legal description of neglect
Use of guardian
ad litems
The legal standards that must be met in removal from the home
Termination of parental rights
