JUS 305 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric Overview The final project for this course is the creation of a case analysis . The internationalization of criminal justice systems requires twenty -first century public safety professionals to possess advanced knowledge about the procedural aspects of the American justice system for their implications on apprehending international cr iminals. In addition, public safety professionals must also be familiar with the extent to which national and international legal systems effectively combat violations. This case -based assessment will allow for a greater comparison of the American criminal justice system to those of other societies as well as legal systems around the world. It will also provide you an opportunity to identify and evaluate strategies that could be implemented to address real -world situations. In this project, you will act as a law enforcement agent who is reviewing the case you chose for what can be learned for future applications. You will compose a case analysis and apply the knowledge and skills needed to be successful in working in international criminal justice organiz ations. Finally, you will compose recommendations based upon your findings for how the investigation and prosecution of this case could have been handled diffe rently to improve the outcome. Choose on e of the following three cases to use for your case analys is: Four Members of International Computer Hacking Ring Indicted for Stealing Gaming Technology, Apache Helicopter Training Software Operation Ghost Stories: Inside the Russian Spy Case Cyber Crime: Purchase Order Sca m Leaves a Trail of Victims The project is divided in to four milestones , which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Three, Four, and Five . Note: You will submit a case analysis in the form of either a presentation or a 5 - to 7 -page paper.
