Unit II Essay
For this homework assignment, you will be asked to put
yourself in the role of an investigative reporter for a nationally
published magazine. Crime rates in the United States are a hot
topic recently, and your magazine has assigned you to be the
lead reporter for a report on procedures being put into place
within the field of corrections, specifically those involving
diversion and probation.
Your editor has designated this as the cover story and featured
article within the magazine, and has asked that you be sure to
include the following in your report:
1. Describe diversion and probation and what they involve;
include how they are alike, and how they differ.
2. Examine and briefly describe the original concept and
evolution of each within the United States.
3. Explain how diversion and probation have been used within
the field of corrections.
4. Based on research you discover, analyze the pros and cons to
using diversion and probation. Are there different pros and cons
to using them for different types of offenders?
5. How does the use of diversion and/or probation impact the
recidivism rate, if at all? Is either tactic, or both, more effective
with certain types of offenders?
6. Finally, examine the work of a probation officer. Provide
supporting evidence that the work of a probation officer helps
reduce the crime rate. Conclude with the dangers that they face
in their line of work, specifically citing one researched incident
since 2013, and examine ways that could help improve the
environment a probation officer is a part of.
Your response must be a minimum of two pages, double spaced,
and in 12 point Times New Roman font. You are required to use
at least one outside source, which does not include the textbook.
All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced;
paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying APA
citations.
