Develop research questions that address contemporary issu es in criminal justice by applying a ppropriate criminological theories

GuidelinesandRubricOverviewYour final project in this course is the development of aresearch report.The fundamental responsibility of criminal justice personnel is based on sound decision making. Using the scientific method within the criminal justiceinvestigations process allows investigators the opportunity to base their findings on factual data and ethical reasoning. This is especially important within thefield of criminal justice because the decisions made undergo rigorous scrutiny from entities such as the media, judiciary system, and the general public. Creatingliterature reviews isa common practice when explaining trends within the criminal justice field. For example, as a criminal justice representative, you may betasked with explaining why calls of domestic violence have increased in a specific area in your jurisdiction over a certain periodof time. It is your responsibility togather and interpret data, analyze criminological theories, and make use of the scientific method to offer an explanation forthe increase, as well as an effectiveavenue of resolution. In thefinal projectyou will practically apply research methods to come to informed conclusions.For this assessment, you will play the part of an individual currently employed at a criminal justice agencysuch as a police force, a correctional institution, or acourt system. Your administrative staff holds monthly meetings to discuss trends, departmental issues, and community concerns. Your supervisor hasapproachedyou and told you that there has been a trend of increased incidents related to a specific issue, and furthermore, the community has taken notice. Your supervisormust provide an answer to the administrative staff and the community, and would like your assistance. You have been tasked with conducting initial research onthe issue to inform the direction of your supervisor’sfurther research and statement to the administrative staff and community.To begin, you will be presented with a predetermined list of issues impacting the field of criminal justice. You are to choose an issue, or select an issue outside ofthe list withinstructor approval. You will then seek out five peer–reviewed scholarly articles, two of which must use qualitative methodology, andsynthesize andcritically analyze theliteraturetodevelop a research question and createdata–informed conclusionsabout your selected issue. Additionally, you must identify themethodologyused in each article, and explain the importance of using the scientific method to practice ethical research.The project is divided intothreemilestones, which will be submittedat various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality finalsubmissions. These milestones will be submitted inModulesTwo,Four,andFive.The finalproductwillbe submittedinModuleSeven.Additionally, throughoutthe course you will work on a series of worksheets that directly relate to elements of your final research report.These worksheets will be submittedinModulesOne, Three,andSix.In this assignment,you will demonstrateyour mastery of the following course outcomes:?Developresearch questionsthat address contemporary issues in criminal justice by applying appropriate criminological theories?Interpret criminal justiceresearchto identify patterns for drawing evidence–based conclusions

How does the Queen provide payment for the service by the fig wasps?

The Queen of TreesThis video shows the intimate relationships within a community of organisms in an African savannah ecosystem. Your task is to complete the questions and map out the connections among the various organisms within the community. You should indicate the trophic level to which the organism belongs, its relationship to the Queen and any other direct relationships to other organisms in the community. The connections within the community should be illustrated. The figure on page 3 of this handout gives an example of how to illustrate those connections. The arrow tips point in the directions of where the energy is flowing. For example, the fruit bats feed on the fruit of the fig tree so the arrow is a one-way directions towards the bats.To submit this quiz: download the template, as you watch the video complete the table below, complete the questions on page 3, and complete the construction of your food web illustrating the connections listed in the table and then upload your document.If you do not know how to construct the food web electronically, you may draw your food web, scan a digital image (or take a photo) of the food web and submit it.Trophic levels: The position that an organisms occupies in a food chain. It shows the flow of energy through an ecosystem. Energy is always lost from one trophic level to the next.· Producers – autotrophic organisms using solar or chemical energy to produce all the organic nutrients for an ecosystem.· Consumers – heterotrophic organisms that cannot make their own food. They get energy from the chemical bonds in the nutrients they eat.· Primary consumers (herbivores) – eat primary producers (plants).o Conversion efficiency: only 10 to 20 percent of the available energy passes from producers to primary consumers.· Secondary consumers (carnivores) – eat primary consumers (herbivores).o Conversion efficiency: only 5 to 10 percent of the available energy passes from primary consumers to secondary consumers.· Tertiary consumers (carnivores) – eat secondary consumers (carnivores).o The conversion efficiency for tertiary consumers may be as low as 1%.· Omnivores – eat both plants and animals.· Decomposers – break down dead tissues and wastes.Table 1 – Relationships and trophic levelsOrganismTrophic LevelConnections with the Queen/communitySycamore Fig TreePrimary producerFig waspGrey Horn BillSecondary consumerUses the Queen as a nesting site, consumes insects that prey on queenCaterpillarsGiraffesFig CadididPink MantisVinegar FliesParasitic NematodesAntsHilda bug nymphsBeesFig CicadasMonkeysGeckoSpiderCrocodileElephantsTiger beetlesButterfliesSeed bugsFruit batsPrimary consumersSeed dispersal for the QueenQuestionsHow does the Queen protect herself from predation?What do the ants provide for the Queen?What do the ants get in return for their service to the Queen?What interesting behavior did the Fig cicadas display?

Explain how the firm could use event sponsorships as a part of its promotional efforts

Promotion and Social Responsibility (Turbo Tax) ( Kotler & Keller: Ch. 19–23 )Q4. Explain how the firm could use event sponsorships as a part of its promotional efforts (Ch. 20) (Turbo Tax)Q5. Discuss the Internet marketing possibilities for the product/service. (Ch. 21) (Turbo Tax)Q6. Discuss the use of social media in the marketing of the product/service. (Ch. 21) (Turbo Tax)Modern marketing calls for more than developing a good product, pricing it attractively, and making it accessible. Companies must also communicate with present and potential stakeholders and the general public. For most, therefore, the question is not whether to communicate but rather what to say, how and when to say it, to whom, and how often. But communications get harder as more and more companies clamor to grab an increasingly empowered consumer’s divided attention. Consumers themselves are taking a more active role in the communication process and deciding what communications they want to receive and how they want to communicate to others about the products and services they use. To effectively reach and influence target markets, holistic marketers are creatively employing multiple forms of communications.Instructions:Each individual assignment must include a title page that has the name of the project topic and the specific questions being addressed, be 5-5.5 full pages (12-point Times New Roman font, double spaced), and include a separate references page. All content must show direct application to the topic and exclude definitions of terms and general explanations of generic marketing topics.When completing an assignment for a given module/week, you must view the entire course textbook (all chapters) as a resource for the assignment, meaning it may be necessary to locate assignment-related material in chapters other than those corresponding with the module/week in which the assignment is located. While the effort has been made to ensure that all material necessary for assignment completion is found in the textbook, contact the instructor immediately if information needed to complete the assignment cannot be located in the textbook. The instructor will then provide instructions on locating the required material.Each of the parts of the Market Management Group Project (MMGP) must follow this format:Discussion of the researchInclusion of corroborating research about the theory and/or your productAnalysis and discussionQuotes must be minimized and long quotes (40 words or more) avoided. Outside sources to be cited include scholarly marketing journals, practitioner publications, and the course textbook. Assignments must be submitted directly to the Group Discussion Board Forum and contain a Microsoft Word document with the exact same content.Once the papers are graded and instructor comments are provided, each member will edit his or her paper accordingly.Required ResourcesAmerican Psychological Association.
