Research your chosen topic(s) using a minimum of three professional resources. (Access the MSCJ Professional Sources guidefor assistance with finding appropriate resources.) Provide a brief description of each professional resource including a rationale as to why it is appropriate for the chosen topic(s). Based on your research create a summary of your topic(s). Within the summary, explain how the external threat impacts the organizational behavior in law enforcement and corrections.
