Topic: Policing – Media relations/public outrage over mentally-ill juvenile shot by police
As a ranking officer in a metropolitan police department, your organization is faced with public outrage over a shooting incident involving a mentally-ill juvenile. While no determination on whether the incident represented a legitimate use of force has been rendered, public outcry over the event has been rampant. Provide a proposal for how the organization should handle the situation considering the need to address public outrage as well as the organizational and/or legal issues that may arise from any possible action.

INTRODUCTION
Whether you are an aspirant law enforcement professional, an individual interested in our nation’s legal system, or simply examining this course from the lens of someone looking for global change – You are acutely aware that our criminal justice system operates along a very broad continuum that stretches throughout American society. This continuum contains many points of intervention along the way to change the course of those engaged in criminal behavior. Law enforcement, especially those charged with controlling the criminal behavior of organized gangs, play very important roles across this continuum; in the apprehension, investigation, judicial process, and of course in creating innovative prevention measures.
There are many opportunities to reduce recidivism through collaboration with community corrections, essentially shutting the revolving door of reincarceration. As such, alternative incarceration programs have become part of a nationwide strategy allowing a judge to sentence someone to a program where they receive treatment, education, and employment training in their community while remaining under strict supervision.

THE REMEDY PROJECT
The District Attorney has recently announced the start of a new restorative justice pilot program that will give adolescents with pending low-level criminal charges the opportunity to own up to their mistakes, hear from those they hurt, and make a change.
The primary incentive for someone to take part in the Remedy Project is to avoid jail time. If someone is selected for the program but does not take it seriously or does not abide by the requirements, they likely will face prosecution for their crime and may be sentenced to prison time.
The program is part of a partnership amongst the District Attorney’s office, the County Restorative Justice Association, and the Police Department. The goal is to address the root cause of these criminal acts and connect offenders with agencies that can help set them up for long-term success.
Persons eligible for The Remedy Project are:
Arrested for a “Remedy Project Qualifying Crime”
Issued an Appearance Ticket for a non-violent misdemeanor crime (the exact list of eligible charges is below);
Determined by the District Attorney’s Office to have an eligible case
Below is a list of Remedy Project Qualifying Crimes which are eligible to be diverted. The final decision about eligibility rests with the District Attorney’s Office.
Criminal Mischief Misdemeanor – (property damaged has an amount less than $250)
Possession of Stolen Property – (acquiring any stolen good)
Criminal Trespassing – (entering someone’s property without permission)
Making Graffiti – (etching, painting, or drawing upon someone’s property without permission)
Simple Larceny (property amount less than $1000)
Promoting Gambling (dice game or card game in public)
Theft of Services (one example would be jumping a subway turnstile or dine and dash)
INSTRUCTIONS
As an active gang member, you have been arrested and charged with one of the Remedy Project Qualifying Crimes listed above. Contrary to a typical, involuntary criminal justice outcome, you are ordered to participate in The Remedy Project.
You are now on your way to a court-ordered discussion group with members of other gangs which is being led by a gang intervention specialist assigned to engage you in an open dialogue about how your behavior has affected others.
As an individual selected to take part in this project, you must do the following:
Acknowledge the voluntary nature of your actions
Discuss steps for making amends
Talk about the changes you can make to avoid repeating the behavior
Talk about your opportunity for personal growth and healing
In your initial post, remind everyone of your gang affiliation, share your persona image, and then address the prompts listed above.
In your responses, focus on whether this would be an effective intervention strategy for this individual. Justify why you feel that way.

Consider the argument made by feminist theorists that it was not enough to just add the variable “sex” or “gender” to studies designed primarily with male respondents in mind. Review this graphic depiction of the connection between theory and research. What might a more inclusive research design look like through the lens of feminist theory?

My Community Event I went to:
On July 3rd, I attended a rodeo in Cannon Falls, MN. The rodeo consisted of barrel racing and bull riding. Every year, Cannon Falls has its fair from July 1st to 4th, with food, games, rides, and events. This is the first year there was a rodeo, and I am happy I went. I chose this specific event because I love watching rodeos and spending time with family and friends. A negative takeaway from this event would be that some people could get seriously hurt. During the event, a man got his foot stuck in the stirrup of the saddle; the horse fell on top of him for about 7 seconds and then kicked the man in the head when getting up. The man was knocked out cold for a minute but then got up and walked away just fine. A positive takeaway from the event would be that everyone from the community came together and bonded over something we all enjoy. I recommend that others attend this event because it is fun to watch, there is great music to listen to, and amazing people are around.
THE HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT:
Your reflection paper (the formatting is described in the video in the Defining Community Module) will cover the following four areas:
· Introduction that includes a description of the event.
· Demonstrate the importance of the event.
· What were some key learning, ideas, or experiences from the event?
· Conclusion, including how you can use this experience to help you in your future criminal justice related career.
Your paper should be 3-4 pages long, double-spaced, and does not need an abstract. You should write in first person since these are your opinions and your reflection. You will need to connect this reflection paper to your defining community reflection and the academic sources included with that paper.
