Write a 1,050- to 1,200-word paper using definitions, principles, and concepts from previous assignments, in which you establish a thesis regarding the future of criminal justice policy making. Include the following:

• Describe your thesis regarding the future of criminal justice policy making.

• Describe the limitations associated with criminal justice policy making.
• Suggest a realistic solution to anticipating policy outcomes.

Case Study

After much labor and management conflict, this integrated managed care consortium and over 25 unions created this labor management partnership (LMP). Today, it is considered a model of union and labor partnerships for the future of labor and management relations. This collaboration involved over 90,000 workers and changed the fabric of union and management relationships. Instead of being a competitive bargaining process, it became a collaborative partnership of mutual respect to a goal of mutual gains. The collaboration resulted in improved services (increased patient satisfaction), improved financial results, and happier employees. Many are encouraging this model to become a standard for future union and management negotiations. Review the resources provided in your phase resources. Develop a PowerPoint presentation that addresses the following:

Part 1

• Name 1 union that was part of this partnership?
• Discuss what type of union (craft, industrial, general, white collar) and whether it is a federation or local union.
• Identify 5 key elements that made this partnership so successful.
• Do you think this model could be used in other organizations? Justify your answer.

Part 2

The value of the partnership was the fact that both parties bargained in good faith and were able to come to agreement on all mandatory collective bargaining items. It is important to understand details of this process. Answer the following:

• What is good faith bargaining?
• Define an impasse. If labor and management comes to an impasse, does that mean that they did not engage in good faith bargaining? Justify your answer.
• Name 3 items that are mandatory in the collective bargaining (e.g., items that must be in the union contract). Why do you think these are mandatory items for a collective bargaining contract?
• Name 1 illegal item that is forbidden by law to be included in the collective bargaining process. Why do you think the law forbids bargaining around this item?

In your role as the Human Resource Manager at Epic Health Solutions, you need to decide what job analysis method to use for the new position that is being created. Then you will do a brief job analysis to create the job description.

Conduct academic research and in a 2-3 page report, prepare in APA format with at least two credible references, do the following:

• Explain which method of job analysis you decided to use to analyze the new position in order to develop an understanding of its responsibilities.
• Describe how the position that is being created ties back to the organization’s mission and goals.
• Continue by creating the job description. Be sure to include the descriptive header, the summary, the major functions, and then the job-specifications.
• Finish your report with an explanation of how you will use the job description to create the performance appraisal with the standards.
• Include your APA formatted reference page with your 2 credible sources.

*A note about credible sources: Credible sources are reliable, accurate, and trustworthy. These sources are written by authors respected in their fields of study. You want to identify sources where the author of the article is listed, if they’ve referenced other information, the sources should be cited so that you can check for the accuracy of and support what they have written. Wikipedia is not considered a credible source. For more information on credible sources, please visit the Rasmussen Online Library

Decide upon an initiative you want to implement that would increase sales over the next five years, (for example, market another product, corporate expansion, and so on).

Using the sample financial statements, create pro forma statements of five year projections that are clear, concise, and easy to read. Be sure to double check the calculations in your pro forma statements. Make assumptions that support each line item increase or decrease for your forecasted statements.

Discuss and interpret the financials in relation to the initiative. Make recommendations on potential discretionary financing needs.

It is important that the approaches used by counselors and the counseling programs implemented in schools and agencies are effective for the clients and students who will be receiving these services. Counselors in the field often conduct research to test the effectiveness of their services. Consider one of the following questions that a counselor working in a school or agency may want to explore:

• Does completion of eight group counseling sessions help to decrease levels of social anxiety (or other symptoms or issues)?
• How do students or clients describe the experience of the counseling they have received and its impact on them?
• What is the effect of short-term counseling (6–8 sessions) for couples who report significant levels of relationship discord?
• What is the effect of counseling for adolescents who report serious issues with substance abuse?
• What impact does attending a 2-hour information workshop have on clients or students who are engaged in career counseling?

In your post, specify which of the questions above you are considering, and respond to the following:

• What legal or ethical issues would you consider as you select participants, if you were granted permission to answer one of these questions through a structured study at your school or agency?
• How would you address issues of informed consent and confidentiality for participants in the study? Cite specific areas of the ACA 2014 Code of Ethics and other ethical guidelines to support your decisions.

Choose a topic that interests you about an aspect of sociology. It can be about a specific culture, social issue, social theory, or a social trend. Locate ten (10) credible social research articles about your topic of interest.

Part I: Annotated Bibliography: Create an annotated bibliography of ten (10) articles from credible sources, as defined by the textbook. (Note: Credible sources are those that have been fact checked or peer reviewed. An annotated bibliography includes a reference to the article and a four to six (4-6) sentence description about the article.
