HANDSHAKE!!

The Final Project will be a research study that will require you to gather and explain raw data, arrange the data, analyze the data, and offer meaningful conclusions as to what the data show. Raw data may be drawn from a singular source, though referral to multiple sources, including secondary sources, is highly encouraged. The arrangement, analysis, and conclusions must be original. Specifically, you will evaluate criminal justice data, interpret published research findings, and apply scientific methodology to answer a criminal justice research question.

Introduction

In this section, you must

• Introduce a research problem or question.
• Include a thesis statement that identifies the purpose of conducting the research study.
• Encapsulate the impact of the conduct of the study.

Literature Review

In this section, you will

• Provide the body of knowledge that previous researchers have generated.
• Describe how your research builds upon the base of knowledge already in existence.

Methodology

Explanation of Data Sets

In this section, you must

• You must explain where your data were originated.
• Identify and specifically define the data set being used, its origin(s), and its composition.
  • Data can be acquired from a variety of sources.  The sites listed below are excellent sources from which to obtain secondary data.
    • Southern Poverty Law Center (www.splcenter.org/)
    • Anti-Defamation League (www.adl.org/)
    • Bureau of Justice Statistics (www.bjs.gov/)
    • Sourcebook of Criminal Justice Statistics (http://www.albany.edu/sourcebook/)
    • Federal Bureau of Investigation (www.fbi.gov)
• Explain why this particular data set was chosen.
• Identify particular strengths and weaknesses of the set.

Arrangement of Data

In this section, you must detail the manner in which you arranged the data set so as to permit analysis and inference. Particularly in the case of a methodological approach applying quantitative principles, you are encouraged to use charts and graphs to explain your data arrangement. Specifically, you must

• Explain the methodologies and statistical techniques used in research in criminal justice.
• Evaluate criminal justice data with specific reference to a methodological approach.
• Explain the principles of your selected approach.

Results

Data Analysis

It is important that you use this step in the process for analyzing the data to determine what it shows, not the meaning of what it shows. In this section, you must

• Describe how you analyzed the data.
• Explain the conclusions drawn from the data analysis.
• Explain the inferences drawn from your data analysis.

Conclusion

Finally, in this section, you must

• Identify and discuss the findings of your research study.
• Examine justifiable conclusions and inferences resulting from the data analysis.
• Explain the methodologies and statistical techniques used in research in criminal justice.
• Apply scientific methodology to answer a criminal justice research question.
• Summarize the entirety of your study by restating the purpose and consolidated outcomes of data set selection, data set arrangement, data analysis, and conclusions.

The Final Project

• Must be 10 double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages)
• Must use at least six peer-reviewed sources in addition to the course text.
• Must document all sources in APA style
• Must include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style

 

Conflict Identification and Resolution

We live in a very complex and culturally diverse society. When we bring individuals together from diverse backgrounds in a work environment conflict can arise when expectations are not realized or met. Rather than hoping conflict will go away, this paper will explore and identify the reasons for conflict and how to successfully address them in a team environment.

Write a four- to five-page paper (excluding title and reference pages) assessing the components of conflict. The following need to be addressed within your paper:

1. Describe a conflict within an organization or team with which you are familiar.
2. Identify and describe the source(s) and level of the conflict and support with evidence.
3. Describe the steps taken to resolve the conflict or, if it is an ongoing conflict, propose steps to resolve the conflict.
4. Describe a minimum of three conflict outcomes that could reasonably occur as a result of the conflict resolution. Support your reasoning for each possible outcome.

 

Marketing of the Acquisition by EDUS

In this assignment, you will research information related to the marketing and promotion of the acquisition by EDUS and provide an assessment. and consider the following:

 

Topics for Research and Analysis

Promotional Goals: Identify specific objectives related to the promotion of EDUS’s acquisition of the institution. In addition, identify specific objectives related to informing potential students of new capabilities and offerings resulting from the acquisition. (Promotional goals vary. Some organizations need to create awareness of their product’s benefits compared to competitors. Other promotional goals may involve communicating new uses for an item, or informing customers or lower prices.)

Business Environment: Identify cultural and legal factors that might influence promotional decisions – both in announcing the acquisition within the region and recruiting new students to the institution. (In some countries, certain information is required in television commercials selling products aimed at children.)

Media Plan: Analyze media availability to determine cost-efficient methods of communicating with potential students within the country and within the geographic region. (While television, radio, newspapers, magazines, and the Internet may be common in industrialized countries, developing economies may require other different media. In some countries, advertising messages are broadcast through large speakers mounted on moving trucks.)

Promotional Strategy: Compare the benefits of push-and-pull promotions for acquiring new students at the institution. Devise a promotional strategy that will help EDUS expand the student body and also inform potential students of increased capability of the institution resulting from this acquisition.

Economic, Cultural, and Political-Legal Environment: Investigate the economic, cultural, and political-legal environment that might affect promotional messages and media relevant to this acquisition.

Contrast the dynamics between dominant cultures and subcultures either in a work setting or in society. Explain why it is important to understand the impact of culture. Give an example where you demonstrated your awareness and or openness to understanding a cultural difference. Explain how these differences underscore the need for understanding diversity. From the information given, develop guidelines for embracing diversity. Respond to at least two of your peers for this posting and offer some additional ideas of your own
