Data and the Criminal Justice System

1. CJ216M2: Articulate the importance of data collection, storage, retrieval, and analysis on the criminal justice system.

2. GEL-3.04: Examine the relationship between science and technology and the impact on the natural world.

Visit the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) at https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/ncic and http://www.fas.org/irp/agency/doj/fbi/is/ncic.htm

This week you will research information on the NCIC website for information regarding data collection, storage, and retrieval. This Assessment will help you understand what data you can utilize from NCIC to conduct a traffic stop and communicate with other states.

3. Create an 8-10 slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation incorporating speaker notes outlining the following:

• Describe how is data collected, stored, and retrieved.
• Discuss the importance of data collection, retrieval, and analysis as it applies to officer safety and the criminal justice system.
• Identify four or more methods of data collection, storage, retrieval, and analysis as it relates to the criminal justice system and their importance.
• Explain the importance of NCIC in a traffic stop and two or more benefits crime analysis has for both the community and law enforcement.
• Identify three types of queries an officer may retrieve from NCIC.

Note: Research is required for this assessment. Locate relevant information about the fundamental principles of how data collection, storage, retrieval, and analysis is conducted within the criminal justice system and distinguish between the relative importance of those principles.

The PowerPoint presentation should have the following characteristics:

• Bullets for your main points.
• Use one basic slide design and layout.
• Text large enough to be read by your audience (font size 2034 point).
• Limit slides to between 6 and 8 lines of content.
• You may use pictures, animations, charts and graphs to supplement your material as long as they do not take up the entire slide.
• Must include speaker notes to fully explain what is being discussed in the slide bullet points as though you are presenting to an audience.
• Contains a title and references slide.
• Research and visuals are cited in APA citation format, both in-text and on a References slide. You need to quote material taken directly from a source.
  • Signal phrases are useful in presentations. They help make your writing flow where one idea clearly leads to the next. It is a good practice to use signal words and phrases instead of just inserting quotations abruptly and separately. For more details on signal phrases, refer to Academic Tools>Academic Success Center>Writing Center.
  • The same standards for documenting sources that apply to an essay, apply to a presentation. Refer to Academic Tools>Academic Writer for a digital library of APA Style quick guides and tutorials to refine your writing.
• Designed with a live audience in mind in order to inform your viewers about the topic.
