Describe the use of force and the use of discretion in criminal investigation.

After reviewing the textbook topics and course learning objectives, students will select a subject of interest for a 7-10 page research paper supported by a minimum of 5 academic peer reviewed sources. The paper is due at the end of Week 7. The paper is to be double spaced, with 1″ margins all around, Times New Roman, 12 pitch; no other style or pitch is to be used in the paper. Students who opt to utilize larger fonts, or add extra spacing beyond regular double spacing, and or put in margins larger than 1″ all around will as a minimum see a full letter grade deduction. The following are the six course learning objectives from which you can base your topic: Examine the organizational structure and the administration process of the U.S. justice system. Differentiate among the various components that influence the administration of the criminal justice system. Describe the use of force and the use of discretion in criminal investigation. Examine the administration of the courts when addressing sentence alternatives. Analyze the American correctional system and its use of alternative programs when administering justice. Identify common ethical issues that occur in the criminal justice system. Research paper topics must be based upon one of the six course learning objectives. When submitting the paper by the end of Week 7, students must identify not only the topic of their research paper but also the course learning objective with which it is aligned as part of the Abstract.
