For  your senior project, choose one of the following major criminal justice  areas: law enforcement, prisons/corrections, the courts, Homeland  Security, private security, or emergency management. This component will  serve as the area for which your senior project will be based. 

 Next, identify a challenge or area of improvement within your chosen  area. (For example, one may choose corrections as the topic area and  violence in prisons as the problem). Over the weeks of this course, you  will progressively research, learn about, write and present on a  solution to the challenge or area of improvement from both a tactical  and administrative perspective. Receive approval from your professor on  your chosen topic. Additional project expectations are described in week  8. 

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

1. Outline  the context of the problem or challenge, including the history and any  policy decisions that have contributed to the situation.
2. Why is it important that the problem be addressed?
3. Who is impacted internally and externally?
4. Why do you feel the problem hasn't already been solved?
5. Use at least three (3) quality references. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Explain how historical analysis informs the context of policy or situations.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in criminal justice.
• Write clearly and concisely about criminal justice using proper writing mechanics.
