Part 4: Final Profile (40 Points) and Group Discussion (10 Points)

Learning Objectives: Your final product pulls together the work you have done for Parts 1, 2, and 3, showcasing your expertise about your selected program, and highlighting its potential to yield promising improvements advancing public safety, justice, and individual and community well-being.

Potential Information Sources: You should continue to use the sources you have consulted throughout the semester. In addition, for information about responses to COVID-19 you will likely use sources such as program websites, reports, and newspaper articles.

Requirements: Your final profile should include the information presented in Parts 1, 2 and 3, with revisions based on feedback you received on these assignments. In addition, you should include a section of approximately -1 page describing how the program has adapted to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Your final profile should be approximately 8-9 pages, typed in 12-point font and double spaced with one-inch margins. You should include a minimum of 10 sources (primarily those utilized for parts 1, 2 and 3, and additional sources as relevant). American Psychological Association (APA) citation standards should be used in the written document, and to compile a list of sources titled References. Include a title page with your name and the title of your project and number all pages. The title and reference pages do not count toward the final page total.
