CJ 207 Project Three Guidelines and Rubric

Competency

In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competency:

• Analyze the impact of court decisions on criminal justice policy and professional practice

Scenario

The U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) recently recruited law enforcement professionals from around the world with the intent to resettle them in different communities around the United States in order to diversify local police forces. These professionals have a background in criminal justice practices, but they lack knowledge of specific U.S. criminal justice practices and need instruction in how specific U.S. Supreme Court cases dictate the actions of professionals in police, courts, and corrections. You have been asked to create materials that will be included in a handbook these professionals will use as a part of their onboarding.

Directions

For your materials, you will summarize the decision of the identified court cases and explain the impact they have had on different policies, procedures, or practices in different branches of the criminal justice system.
