CJ 406 Module Two Assignment Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

In this assignment, you will describe a societal trend in criminal justice and explain how it affects the public.

Prompt

In Module One, you learned about two societal trends in criminal justice: (1) how police build rapport and improve community relations and (2) how the use of technology is increasing in

criminal justice. You looked more deeply at one particular type of technology—body cameras—and explained the pros and cons of using body cameras, as well as how elements of the criminal

justice system and society contribute to the use of body cameras. In this module, you learned about two more societal trends in criminal justice: how bail reform impacts the criminal justice

system and the community and how the criminal justice system has adapted to the drug addiction paradigm shift from an individual’s choice to the disease model. For this assignment, you will
