Find some source from the “real world” about the problem (e.g., a newspaper story, a documentary, a podcast, popular culture coverage, a legal case, a movie). Evaluate the source – do you think it does a good job of covering the problem? How so?

Identify and explain how you’d fix a problem in the U.S. correctional system. The problem should be related to correctional psychology.

It can be one of the topics we’ve covered in this class or something we haven’t covered. However, you should be using sources to explain why it’s a problem. For instance, if you argue that the problem you are fixing is “prisons are too crowded” you would need to cite a source suggesting that prisons are crowded. The more you can integrate the learning materials into all aspects of the prompt (particularly #1, #2, and #4), the stronger your paper will be.

Five parts:

  1. What is the problem you’re addressing? Explain it.
  2. How is the problem relevant to correctional psychology? Go back to the definition provided earlier in the course and explicitly tie the problem to the definition so it’s clear how this is a correctional psychological-related problem.
  3. Find some source from the “real world” about the problem (e.g., a newspaper story, a documentary, a podcast, popular culture coverage, a legal case, a movie). Evaluate the source – do you think it does a good job of covering the problem? How so?
  4. Explain a solution you think might work to fix the problem. How would you implement your solution?
  5. Describe any problems you foresee with implementing your solution. How might it fail?
