Assignment 1: LASA 2: Communicating with Stakeholders and Other Constituents
In this LASA, you will consider how best to present research findings and recommendations to a specific set of stakeholders or constituents in one of the five components of the criminal justice system:
Law enforcement
Courts
Corrections
Juvenile justice
Homeland security
After you have selected one of the five components of the criminal justice system locate a research study using one of the following databases:
American Academy of Forensic Sciences "https://www.aafs.org/"
International Association for Identification "https://www.theiai.org/"
Law Enforcement National Data Exchange "https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/n-dex"
National Criminal Justice Reference Service "https://www.ncjrs.gov/"
National Institute of Justice "https://www.nij.gov/Pages/welcome.aspx"
Based on the assessment you made in Module 4, communicating research findings to specific audiences, prepare an 8-10 slide PowerPoint presentation as follows:
Analyze the key facts in your research and examine the key issues that were researched.
Prepare a summary of the research findings from the research study, interpret the results, and render a conclusion that should be presented to the stakeholders/constituents associated with the research.
Support your recommendations with authoritative sources and cite all references in APA style.
Include a cover slide and at least one slide at the end of your presentation to reference your sources, formatted in APA style, that link back to your in-text citations and support your recommendations. See your Argosy Handbook or APA materials to properly cite your text.
Use the notes function to develop a comprehensive script that could be used to present your PowerPoint presentation to a live audience. In this script be sure to include a detailed commentary to support each slide.
