Solitary Confinement and Criminal Justice Leadership

In the Unit 4 assignment, you identified a problem affecting criminal justice leadership, a criminal justice organization, and/or organizational policies and practices using theoretical frameworks and provided an analysis of the problem’s background. In this second component of your final project, use research to build a deeper understanding of the problem by writing a literature review including at least 10 peer-reviewed resources published within the last 35 years. The research you conduct will assist in the development of a theoretical framework for the identified problem. As part of your literature review, evaluate the effectiveness of theories in explaining the problem that is affecting the criminal justice system.

In your assignment, be sure to address the following critical elements, which align with the grading criteria:

• Evaluate a theoretical framework to determine appropriateness to the criminal justice leadership and organizational policies and practices.
• Articulate with empirical support how issues of diversity and inclusiveness can be intertwined with the problem that you identified.
• Synthesize current, relevant, peer-reviewed academic research to uncover various ethical drivers and pressures related to the problem or issue within criminal justice.
