Criminal Justice Capstone Project
Overview and Outline-working in unit 3 for this assignment

Your project for this capstone course will require you to demonstrate your mastery of the program outcomes by analyzing and writing about an issue that will provide a foundation for the development of either a program or a policy proposal within your chosen specialization. To demonstrate your proficiency in the program learning outcomes, you will develop your selected topic specific to each outcome.

In the Criminal Justice Capstone Project, you will identify and define a problem you feel needs to be addressed within your discipline (emergency management, criminal justice, or homeland security); describe the significance of the problem to serve as the basis for the development of a program, implementation of a new policy, or change to an existing policy; and design an appropriate solution that is specific and measurable for purposes of effectiveness based on the delineated goals and objectives.

Overview of the Criminal Justice Capstone Project

Topic Proposal – Due in Unit 2

In Unit 2, you will choose your Criminal Justice Capstone Project topic. Your topic selection should be specific, with clear parameters that will enable you to fully address each program learning outcome. You will identify a direction that will enable you to make those connections by sharing preliminary approaches specific to each program learning outcome, connected to your proposed topic.

Topic: Your selection should be a crime problem that is specific, focused, and that can be addressed through a program proposal, policy change proposal, or new policy proposal. Your selection should be based on your current or anticipated career field. The selection should be narrow in scope so you can develop the direction with parameters that will enable you to measure the impact. You will evaluate the impact specific to your intended goals and objectives. As you make your selection, be sure to be specific as to your targeted demographic (considering, for example, exclusion criteria and geographic parameters). Your selection must provide the foundation for fully developing the program learning outcomes.

Topic Proposal (will be 1.5–2 pages in your Criminal Justice Capstone Project):

• Topic.
• Goals and Objectives.
• Targeted Focus (build out parameters).
• Explain the antecedents of the crime, connecting knowledge from multiple disciplines.
• Explain the consequences of the crime, connecting knowledge from multiple disciplines.
• Integrate theory into your policy or program proposal (for example, to justify the need or to justify the approach) to solve the problem identified for your capstone focus.
• Integrate scientific methods into your policy or program proposal to solve the problem identified for your capstone focus.
• Integrate practical methods into your policy or program proposal to solve the problem identified for your capstone focus.
• Describe the potential sources of conflict specific to cultural diversity in terms of the groups involved, given that crime—and addressing crime—result in different levels of conflict.
• Describe how you will approach resolving the conflict specific to the cultural diversity issue in conjunction with your program or policy.
• Assess the leadership skills in ethics necessary for practitioner success in implementing your program or policy.
• Assess the community-focused leadership skills necessary for practitioner success in implementing your program or policy.
• Apply ethics-centered analysis to the program or policy (topic) in a criminal-justice-practitioner context.
• Apply evidence-based analysis to the program or policy (topic) evaluation in a criminal-justice-practitioner context to assess effectiveness.
• Explain how professional communication skills are needed throughout the process of program or policy implementation.
• Describe how professional communication skills are needed throughout the process of program or policy evaluation

In your topic proposal paper, provide one paragraph per program learning outcome section (as listed in the outline below), specifically connected to your topic that must be based on a specific crime, delineating direction that is specifically connected to your narrowly focused topic.
