Analysis of existing Crime Policies
The final paper topic consists of the student’s analysis of an existing crime program or policy or the development of a new crime program or policy. The Welsh and Harris book provides the outline for this paper, as it contains the Seven Steps of Policy Making. Students are to address each step in this final paper. Step 1 is due on January 3rd and I will provide feedback within two days so that you will know if you can proceed to the next steps without any modification to Step 1. I will place four sample papers under the Course Documents tab on Web Campus. These papers will be longer than the requirement for this course but will still demonstrate the framework/format for your paper.
