Please answer the following questions in connection to the
following dilemma:
The mayor of your town wants to use your expertise in
criminal justice policy to create a policy that will decrease drug use amongst
teens that has been steadily increasing for the last five years. In order to
assist the mayor, you must consider the following:
1.
What is the theoretical model directing your
research design? Why did you choose this model? How does this theoretical
approach connect to your policy implication?
2.
How would you design a research study to
identify what is causing the issue? What research method(s) would you choose
and why? Please make sure to detail your approach to sampling and data
collection, including the operationalization of your variables, the proposed
data sampling instruments, the timeline, and your sample.
3.
How
will you analyze your data? What techniques will you employ?
Explain the intent of those techniques and what the relative advantages
and drawbacks there are to each.
4.
Create a policy to reduce drug usage. In your
policy, you must apply the Seven-Stage Checklist for Program/Policy Planning and
Analysis.
5.
Budgets should flow from the policy and planning
process. With that in mind, what types of potential costs should you include in
the three areas of services and costs? You should include the components of the
budget process as well. What potential revenue streams will you consider for
funding your budget? Finally, how will
you justify your budget?
Each question must be distinctly separated out
by the student, with each question being graded separately on a pass/fail basis
by a committee of three. Each answer should be approximately 4-5 pages in
length minus references. If the student receives 2 failures (out of three
professors) on any one question, the student must redo that question. If the
student again fails the questions, they are allowed to fail one question to
pass the overall exam.
Paper must be in APA format and plagiarism free, as it will be checked by TurnItIn. Standard 1 inch margins are required, times new roman font size 12, double spaced.
