Assignment:
Locate and Document a Problem in US Criminal Justice
1. Locate a current problem or issue of the US criminal justice system.
2. Using this forum, provide a short summary of the problem or issue in the US Criminal Justice that you located. Ideally, this problem or issue will be related to the topic that you will investigate for your capstone research project. For example, a problem in the US is a very high rate of recidivism, i.e., the majority of people who leave prison each year end up back in prison within 3 years. Thus, the related topic of investigation would be Rentry Policy.
3. Post a link to a video, website, or news article. If you post a link to a video make sure that it is not explicit or graphic, and I recommend that it be somewhat short.
