Juvenile VS Adult

There are differences between the juvenile and adult court systems. In this assignment, you will choose a criminal case study of your choice or you may use one from the Chronline Website. You will read and summarize the case involving the adult. Then you will examine the case from a different perspective considering how this case would unfold differently if a juvenile had committed the crime.

Read the case information and write a two to three (2-3) page paper in which you:
Summarize the facts of the case.
Examine how the procedure would be different if the defendant(s) were a juvenile at the time that the offense was committed.
Identify and discuss how juvenile proceedings differ from adult criminal proceedings, and discuss the differences between an adult and a minor being charged with the same crime.
Define the waiver process of transferring a juvenile into the adult court system.
Assuming that the defendant in your selected case was a minor being tried as a juvenile, make recommendations for disposition and support your recommendation.
Use at least three (3) quality references.
Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; references must follow SWS or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the students name, the professors name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required page length.
The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:
Determine the appropriate legal procedures for both the adult and juvenile court systems to make sound decisions informed by criminal justice policy. 
Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic/organization of the paper, and language and writing skills, using the following rubric

courts

It is often stated that the United States does not have two systems of courts (i.e. State and Federal), rather, we have 51, because each State has its own system and then there is the Federal system.  Discuss two pros and two cons of our current court system and then detail how having 51 “systems” may impact the idea of equality under the court of law in your opinion. Be sure to use resources to back up your opinion.

COVID-19 Situation Report

In this case study, you will examine the essential elements of an incidents impacts that must be understood by emergency management leaders, to both scale the response and transition into recovery.  A Situation Report is an essential tool for providing condensed/consolidated overviews of an incident, including impacts to the community, and status of current operations.  Sometimes referred to as SitReps, they may only be reviewed by those within your response organization or may be accessible to the public; “accurate” and “professional” are absolutely essential ingredients!

Using the incident you selected for your final paper (COVID-19 from when it started in the United States around February-April 2020) , develop a Situation Report, no more than 3 pages of content (references can be the fourth page).  This Situation Report is intended to be read by the Chief Elected Official (CEO) of the jurisdiction impacted by your incident, and must concisely and efficiently brief the CEO on the incidents impacts.  Pretend that I am your jurisdictions CEO and I have less than 5 minutes to be briefed on the incident prior to walking into a response and recovery planning meeting with you, the Emergency Manager.
Consider the failures of initiative identified in the Hurricane Katrina response and ensure you provide enough and appropriate content to assist “our jurisdiction” with not making some of the same mistakes.  You should be focusing information about the response, just prior to us transitioning to recovery (e.g. life safety, protecting property and protecting the environment).
This is an opportunity for creativity.  Use Word, Excel, PowerPoint, similar versions of each, etc.  Graphics, bullets, tables, charts are all great examples of packaging up information for visual impact and quick review.  This should not look or read like a typical paper; avoid paragraphs of text.

You must include references and in-text citations; this is both essential for academic integrity and real world application for validating and updating information.  Other than citations and references, APA formatting does not apply to this assignment.  For quick reference guide on in-text citations/references: https://libguides.pace.edu/ld.php?content_id=2653198
