III. Discussion

The discussion section is the "meat and potatoes" of the Administrative Position Paper. It contains the critical analysis of the problem and all possible factors researched. This is the critical area for the student to show the professor and your administrator you have done your research properly. This is the longest section. Cite all facts by using in-text citations. Nothing in the Discussion Section should contain personal knowledge, experience, or opinion from the author. Only facts---and ---each fact must be formatted with an in-text citation according to the APA format. Do not uses case studies and if you are going to use a personal communication, you are only permitted to use one and it should be no more than one (1) short paragraph. No charts, diagrams, case studies or long quoted material is to be used in the Discussion area. If you need to use charts, diagrams, case studies or quotes, you must put them into an Appendix and only refer to them in the Discussion Section. Material must be paraphrased and provided a citation; however we will allow 15% of your entire paper to have quotes. If you are unsure of what the difference is between paraphrasing and direct quoted material, get with your instructor.

I have already begun my paper. You DO NOT need to set the paper up ie, title page, abstract etc.

My paper is on Problem: Abuse of Power regarding the correctional officer. There are 4 factors that I must touch bases on and I have done so up until now. I need you to elaborate through research on: For the first one, I only need research on tactical training with (3) academic references. ONLY Two pages will be sufficient for this one, The second one, will be 3.5 pages

· Inadequate training for officers poses a problem where abuse of power is concerned. Without the basic knowledge and skills such as interpersonal and tactical skills it can be difficult in fulfilling the necessary duties required for a correctional officer.

· Absence of quality supervision exacerbates the potential for error which ultimately affects the overall performance of the officer. Supervision is necessary to ensure that employees are performing their duties as expected and required.
