Outline the causes of World War 2. How does the war break out in Europe and the Pacific? What is the response of Western Powers (including the United States)? How does the war impact the American homefront?

Use the Internet  to research your community’s current efforts to deter or prevent juvenile delinquency through incarceration programs or other sanctions.

Write a two to three (2-3) page paper in which you:

1. Identify at least two (2) juvenile delinquency reduction efforts / programs currently in operation in your community.
2. Determine the main sociological theories that underlie these interventions that shape your community’s public policy for delinquency prevention.
3. Propose one to two (1–2) ideas that you believe would improve your community’s juvenile delinquency prevention efforts. Justify the response with examples that illustrate your ideas being used successfully in other communities.
4. Use at least three (3) quality references. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

Core Assessment

The student will select a local or state law enforcement or other state or local government organization concerned with emergency management and planning, and research, analyze and critique on the organization’s emergency management and planning processes. The focus of the analysis is to examine the various emergency management planning components: Mitigation; Preparedness; Response; and Recovery, as well as how the organization uses Unity of Command and NIMS principles in its emergency management practices.

Because federal agencies are generally responsible for supporting state and local agencies involved in emergency management, they should not be used for this assignment. In addition, military emergency planning organizations should not be used for this assignment as a are generally more self-reliant and not involved in community emergency management practices.

The research should include web search, periodicals, publications and interviews of personnel involved with the Emergency Management planning of the organization and personal observations when possible. Students should view the information obtained with the purpose of critiquing the organization’s fulfillment of the components suggested by the text and other sources. Explain the pros and a con of the organization’s emergency management process. The analysis could look at whether the agency has anticipated emergencies that law enforcement will be responsible for. Perform analysis of how the agency has coordinated with other local state and federal agencies. Describe the plans that have been developed for handling emergencies. Evaluate any exercises that test the plans and propose ways in which the organization may improve their emergency management planning and response.

The purposes in conducting and writing this study are to improve your ability to synthesize, analyze, and evaluate information carefully and objectively, solve problems effectively, present your ideas in clear written form directed to a specific audience, in this case, your class.

To complete this project, you should:

Select law enforcement agency at the state or local level in which you are interested.
Gather materials from the agency, such as planning reports and practical exercise reports and other resources that may be available.
Describe the procedures you will use to conduct your study and place in a methodology section.
Evaluate the structure, practice, and procedures of the organization.
Compose the results of your study.
Formulate conclusions about your findings, including the positive and negative aspects you discovered.
Argue in what ways the agency could improve its emergency management process.

Your paper must include:

A cover page
Abstract
Introduction
Methodology section
Discussion
Reference page
Appendices which may include a summary of your interview(s) and organization charts of your agency and your section

The text of this paper should be at least 2,000 words or eight pages typewritten or computer-generated, not counting the cover page, reference pages, and appendices. The paper shall be double spaced in either Courier or Times New Roman, 12 font. You must illustrate the terminology and the concepts used in the section of the agency you studied and demonstrate that you can apply these concepts. You must demonstrate that you can define, explain, synthesize, analyze, and evaluate the information acquired. You must correctly use APA format in source citation both in the body of the paper and in the reference page.

One aspect of professional development that educators can participate in is that of educational conferences. While you may at some point have participated in an educational conference as an attendee, you have the opportunity in this assignment to think as a presenter! This assignment will also provide you the opportunity to create a Curriculum Vitae (CV) and cover letter.

In this assignment, you will take your discussion presentation you prepared for the staff meeting and convert it into a poster that you could use at an academic conference. As well, often when submitting a poster proposal you include a CV and cover letter that highlight your experience and research interests.

Historically, a conference poster session involves use of a large poster-board style document as a reference when speaking with conference attendees about your research or practical experiences with a topic. Increasingly, the poster session involves handouts in digital format transferred through QR codes or another medium and may involve a television or other screen display to communicate your research at an academic conference. Always, your poster presentation contains a title, introduction to your question, overview of your approach, results from your study or experience, and your planned next steps in applying or expanding the study or experience. Additionally, the poster provides information about literature related to the poster topic, usually a selected listing of previously published articles that are important to your research, and a brief acknowledgement to those who helped you with the study.

Your poster, in whatever format it is presented at the conference, is effective if it can be scanned and comprehended at a high level in around five minutes. Usually you will be present with your poster to explain points and answer questions in an authentic conference experience.

Using the Poster Presentation Template attached to this assignment, create your assignment to meet the content and written communication expectations below
