With funding from the Columbia University Collaborative to Advance Equity Through Research we are pleased to announce a two-day workshop that will prepare female masters students to apply for competitive doctoral programs and pursue original research.

The workshop will be held from March 16 to 17 2020. The goal of the event is to contribute to the diversification of the academy by creating a forum for women to develop strategies for combating systemic issues that might deter them from applying to doctoral programs.

We invite applications from female masters students in any field. At the workshop, female junior and senior scholars will share their experiences, brainstorm solutions to the everyday struggles that women encounter in obtaining doctoral degrees in Nigeria and abroad.

The application requires a 250-500 words statement of interest that explains your motivations and goals. Please submit your application here by February 7th.

You are required to complete a short assignment which involves a current or historical event (no more than 5 years) at your STATE level (no higher than the state level).  For a shot at max pointsLink the real world event, to at least three specific course resources (cite specific page numbers, charts, graphs etc in the course textbook, power points slide and or other course material).  The key is to cite specifics and highlight these in yellow!!

Research a homeland security or emergency/disaster management issue that applies to what you have learned in the course thus far.  Research After Action Reports and Lessons Learned from this disaster. You Use all of what the textbook and course has to offer.  In a minimum of three (3) pages (double-spaced), Arial font, size 12, students are required to:

Provide a synopsis of the State (no higher than the State level) emergency or disaster. What occured? When? Who was involved (what parties or agencies?

Describe the impact of the event at your State level. Who was effected and how was the incident managed?  Explain how different governmental agencies and private sector entities worked together in support of the civil disaster or emergency.

Discuss what you learned from the disaster as it relates the Homeland Security or Emergency Management to this point in the course. Remember what we have covered thus far (History of EM, Natural & Tech disasters and Risk Assessments, Mitigation, Preparedness, Communications, Response, Recovery and Terrorist Threat). Link the real world event, to the course textbook and course material.

Conclude with a critical review of the lessons learned and the actions taken at the State level to mitigate, prepare, respond and recover to the incident.  Research After Action Reports and Lessons Learned from this disaster.

Reproductive rights remain a controversial issue, not only in the United States, but in many countries around the world. Although formal laws address this issue at the federal and state levels, it would be shortsighted to view this conversation as occurring only within the hallways of government. In fact, perhaps no issue has galvanized more stakeholders in recent times than reproductive rights. Institutions, religious groups, grassroots organizations, womens rights organizations, and international bodies such as the United Nations have weighed in on reproductive rights around the world. In short, there is perhaps no better issue to examine how external stakeholders can impact a social issue than the scope of reproductive rights and its short-term and long-term future.

Go to the Virtual Community to visit external stakeholders. You will identify a stakeholder and articulate a reproductive-rights policy position that the stakeholder is likely to assume. Explain why you believe that the stakeholder would assume that policy position. Consider possible alternatives to the policy position assumed by the stakeholder you identified.

Note: Please be respectful of your colleagues positions. This is not a morality determination on reproductive rights but rather a conversation about policy positions taken by stakeholders in the abortion rights controversy.

With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 4
Post the name of your selected stakeholder in the Virtual Community. Then, explain how the stakeholders worldview effects his or her policy position that he or she would take on reproductive rights. Finally, explain alternative policy positions that the stakeholder might adopt.

Please be sure your Final Project adheres to the criteria stated in the Final Project Guidelines located in this weeks Learning Resources.

In your 15- to 18-page Final Project, you should include the following:

Executive Summary: Describe the public policy problem of interest to you, the scope of the problem, and a capsule summary of your recommended course of action. (12 paragraphs)
Introduction and Problem Definition: Explain why the problem is important. Why should the decision-maker care about this issue? (12 pages)
Issue Analysis: Explain in detail, supported by scholarly resources, the scope of the public policy problem. You should describe the stakeholders (e.g., branches of government, interest groups, nonprofit organizations, media, the bureaucracy, etc.) connected to the problem. (34 pages)
Proposed Solutions: You are not expected to detail every possible approach to the issue you selected. However, based on your research, select 3 or 4 potential solutions that directly address the public policy problem you selected. It is important that you explain which stakeholders would be proponents and which would be opponents of each policy alternative you identify, and why, and the implications of their being for or against the alternative(s). You should make clear to the decision-maker the complexities involved with each proposed solution you analyze. (78 pages)
Policy Recommendation: Choose one of the alternatives to the public policy problem you selected and explain, based on scholarly materials you have examined, why it t is best suited to address the problem. Be sure to address opportunities and challenges of implementing your recommendation given any relevant political, social, economic, or cultural considerations. Additionally, explain what, if any, social justice and/or ethical issues are impacted by your recommended policy alternative. (34 pages)
You are expected to support your arguments and perspectives with citations in APA format. Approximately 510 scholarly resources, at a minimum, should be referenced within the Final Project.

NO OUTSIDE SOURCE I WOULD NOT RECEIVE CREDIT, USE ATTACHMENTS !

1) Terms like stereotyping, prejudice, and discrimination in the criminal justice system were introduced to us through your class readings. Using those and our class analysis what has changed? Has it?  (Make sure to define these terms and provide examples) Be specific.
2) Define and discuss terms like Class and White Collar Crime. What is it? Make sure to define the victim and offender and how they contribute to these factors.

Written Assignment Papers: Minimum of TWO pages each, not including title or reference pages: Students are expected to critically analyze and evaluate when conducting the research paper. The term paper constitutes 20 % of your grade. The topic will be assigned by the Professor (See last page for subjects). A typewritten TWO- PAGE paper is required. The paper must be double-spaced, with 1.0 inch margins (all around), using Times New Roman 12 point font. It should include a title page, an introduction, and a body of paragraphs with subheadings, conclusion, and a reference page with 2-4 cited works.

1)    Describe the CSI effect and how it differs from the reality of forensic science.

There will be one (1) paper assignment due at the end of Week 14 (Sunday, April. 12 by 11:59pm). The assignment is worth 7.18% of your final grade. For this assignment, you will submit a profile of a serial offender that you will be selecting on your own. You can choose an offender discussed in the text, online, from other books, or any other resource (at the disclosure of the professor). Once you select your offender, you will:

Discuss if the offender fits the common profile of the serial murder offender. This requires much more than providing a biography of the serial killer.
Apply a typology used in the text and apply it to the offender. In doing so, explain how the offender aligns with the typology.
Discuss how the particular offender’s crimes were solved (if applicable: if they were unresolved, discuss this, too); and the resolution of the case.
Cite sources using APA format. There is no required length for this paper. However, it must be comprehensive and fulfill all necessary requirements.

I choose Jeffrey Dahmer
