Overview:For
this assignment, due in Module Seven, you will submit the 2–3-page
public needs and policy recommendations sections of your final project. This
milestone is really about drilling downmore deeply into the “drivers”
behind your recommendations to the selected departmental policy. As you write
these sections, you will identifywhat public needs are targeted by this policy
and how well the policy addresses these needs. You will also need to examine
how this policy can be changed or improved upon to continue to address the
identified need and how these changes can be accomplished while at the same
time improving upon the delivery of necessary criminal justice services.

Using the historical analysisof your selected public policy
issue that you conducted in Milestone Two—as well as the research regarding the
criminological theory that best explains the development of the public policies
related to it—ensure that you support your recommendations in this milestone
with the relevant criminological theory that you identified and describe how
the theory or theories justify the appropriateness of the recommendations for
the departmental policy. Incorporate feedback from your previous two milestones
into this final milestone, and incorporate feedback from this milestone into
your final policy recommendation report due in Module Nine.

Prompt:Specifically, the following critical
elementsmust be addressed:

I. Needs: Now that you have analyzed the relevant
state or federal policies and selected a related criminological theory, you
will focus your analysis on your selected departmental policy. In relation to
the departmental policy, you will identify the needs of the public and the
relevant branch ofthe criminal justice system, and assess the extent to which
the policy currently addresses these needs. Specifically:

a) Identifyspecific needsof the public and the
relevant branch of the criminal justice system at the center of the
departmental policy, justifying your identifications.

b) To what extent does the departmental policy addressthese
specific needs?

II. Policy Recommendations: In this section, you will
provide specific recommendations to the existing departmental public policy to
improve the delivery of criminal justice services, justifying your
recommendations, and examining the impact of the recommendations on the public
andspecific branch of the criminal justice system. Be sure to:

a) Outline the specific aspects of the departmental policyyou
are targeting for your recommendations, justifying your selections. What
specific aspects of the departmental policy need improving and why?

b) What specific recommendationsdo you have to
improve the existing departmental policy?

c) Justify how the recommendations will improvethe deliveryof
criminal justice services. Provide specific examples.

d) How does criminological theorysupport your recommendations?
How do the recommendations support the public’s needs? Consider how theory
justifies the appropriatenessof the recommendations for the departmental
policy.

e) What are the potential impactsof the departmental
policy recommendations on the public and the relevant branch of the criminal
justice system? Provide specific examples. If the potential impacts are
negative, howmight you alter your recommendations?

f) How does your assessment of the potential impacts informyour
departmental policy implementation? For example, how can you capitalize
on positive reactions in the
implementation of the departmental policy? How might you create buy-in where
there is possible conflict?
