Policy discussion 3 and 4

Be aware the prompt will be done twice

To complete this discussion, please do the following:

Read your assigned chapter (see module objectives for assigned reading assignments! Each student is responsible for their own discussion – multiple students may have the same chapters, but are expected to submit individual work.)

Address the Chapter Review questions (below) in-depth for your chapter review portion of this discussion. Reviews also include introductory materials or chapters that everyone has to read.

Find two scholarly, academic, peer-reviewed sources to add to this discussion – this can be to add a different perspective, add more to a particular viewpoint, answer a question you may have, or add information that the chapter did not cover!

1. Reply to 2 classmates – making sure that replies are substantive in nature (so more than just praising their work, ideas, or writing style).
2. Chapter Review Questions for Part 4
3. Start off with a summary of the chapter(s) that you were assigned. This includes introductory materials or materials that everyone had to read. Your summary should include the main points of the chapter – to the point where if someone didn’t read the chapter they’d be able to follow along. You can do this in paragraph form, as bullet points, or as an outline – I’m okay with any of these options. Make sure you cite (see above)!

Continue with overall impressions of the reading content – this is where you can give your opinions of what you have read. What do you think of the content? How accurate was it? Was it biased or skewed?

1. Continue with increased understanding – what is one thing that you now understand about public policy in criminal justice that you did not understand before the reading?

CONTINUE WITH QUESTIONS YOU STILL HAVE – WAS THERE ANYTHING MISSED OR OVERLOOKED BY THE READING? WHAT QUESTIONS DO YOU STILL HAVE AFTER COMPLETING THE READING AND WHAT ARE THEY?

End with your contribution to the conversation – this is where you will bring in the two (2) scholarly, academic peer-reviewed articles to add to the discussion. This can be done in a multitude of ways – see above.
