Once you finish researching the incident, draft a case study that includes the following elements.

Write a short summary of the facts regarding the incident. This summary can usually be done in one or two paragraphs.
Provide an analysis of the case that must address the questions below.
The conclusion of your paper will be a short statement regarding your own thoughts of the incident. This is your reflection and will be based on your personal opinion and perspective. This section should not require more than one or two paragraphs. Process your thoughts carefully, and condense them into several meaningful and concise sentences.
Questions to address in the content section of your assignment:

Critically analyze the incident, and determine its impact on public safety, the unintended consequences of the incident, and the ability of the agency and the individual(s) to adequately perform their duties.
Review any long-lasting implications of the case.
What led up to this incident, and was it something that could have been addressed long before it happened? Who should have been expected to ensure it did not occur in the first place? Would you have handled it differently? Why?
What changes were made, if any, to ensure this type of incident would never recur in the future? Did the changes go far enough? In your opinion, have those changes been successful?
Your case study must be a minimum of two pages in length, not including the title page and reference page. You are required to use a minimum of one outside source. Your case study and its citations and references must be formatted according to APA Style guidelines.

You may use the overview as part of the course project introduction.

The overview must be at least one page in length. Please include at least one reference. Adhere to APA style when creating citations and references for this assignment. APA formatting, however, is not necessary.

Discussion: Professional Training and Development Methods
Change is a given in today’s organizational life, and one way to cope successfully with this inevitability is the proper training and development of employees. The purpose of employee training is to provide the necessary skills for present tasks, while development prepares employees for the future.

Discussion: Salaries and Wages: Direct Financial Compensation
The system of salaries and wages, or direct financial compensation, provided by an organization vitally impacts its ability to attract and retain talented employees. The design of an organization’s pay system is not a simple matter but one that balances many forces: equity issues, labor markets, an organization’s financial health, and federal laws to name a few. Knowing how to weigh these issues to arrive at a balanced plan appropriate for your particular organization is the mark of a manager well-versed in the skills of human resource management.

For this Discussion, review this weeks Resources.Review Chapter 7 of Human Resources Management for Public and Nonprofit Organizations. Pay particular attention to the factors that influence compensation policies. Focus on how the pay system issues and concepts may affect government and non-profit organizations differently. For example, you may wish to discuss the issue of external equity and local government pay systems.

With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 4
Post a brief description of a compensation issue in a government or non-profit organization. Explain how the issue might impact the pay system of the government or non-profit organization you selected.

written as a traditional paper.
Font: Times New Roman, 12 pt.

You will select TWO songs (or albums if this fits better) from different genres. Each song
should illustrate a different crime theory or perspective. Songs need to be accessible to me to
listen to, preferably via Youtube or also via Apple Music, Spotify, or Sound Cloud. For each
song, please include the artist, song title, album title (if applicable), and direct link.
The song should have a direct connection to a criminology theory we have discussed in the
course.Social Control Theory, gender-based theories of crime,Feminist Criminology, subculture theories and labeling theory, Anomie Theory and Strain Theory.

The songs should, thus, either include 1) descriptions of criminal or deviant behavior
(starting it, engaging in it, stopping it, etc.) OR 2) provide a perspective about the justice system
(can be supporting it, against it, discussing reform, etc.).
For each song, you will examine how it connects to one (or more) of the theoretical concepts we
have discussed so far this semester. Your paper should address the following information:
1. Summary of the theory (approx. 1-2 paragraphs)
a. Describe the crime theory relevant to the song, including the main components it
proposed. *THIS MUST BE IN YOUR OWN WORDS* – do not copy from the
text or other sources
b. You should not discuss the song in this section simply define and describe the
theory.
c. This section helps to set up your response to the next section of the assignment
2. Summarize the theoretical connections (approx. 2-3 paragraphs)
a. How does the song connect to theoretical concepts we have discussed in class?
b. Explain in detail, with examples from the song, how it illustrates the theory.
c. You can include links to the lyrics as well or quote them directly in the text.
3. Policy Implications (approx. 1-2 paragraphs)
a. What could be done to prevent the criminal or deviant behavior portrayed in the
song?
b. How could the justice system be changed based on the perspective of the song?

NOTE: You can (and likely will have to) use music/songs that have expletives, R-rated language, or derogatory words/statements. You are also welcome to censor any lyrics as you see fit. A goal of this assignment is to analyze this messaging in the context of our theories and perspectives towards criminology and criminal justice.
