Women in Crime and War on Drugs

Final Essay Guidelines:

1. Generally speaking, papers that include more citations from course material (readings + lectures) are preferred to those with fewer. With that said, there is a point at which there are too many citations. Just make sure that your essay is grounded in what we read about and discussed in class.

2. All papers should be between 12-15 pages, double-spaced, in Calibri 11 pt. font, and with standard (1 inch) margins.

3. Cite ALL sources used in a Works Cited page at the end of your paper. I don’t care about the formatting of your citations in the Works Cited, but your in-text citations should look like the following:

“No one was hurt at the strike that occurred last weekend at the Mitsubishi plant (McIntyre 2015).”

“U.S. criminal justice policy has come under fire in recent years as scholars have begun to place it into a comparative perspective (Giles, Quan, and Murray 2007).”

Or

“Redding (2003) argues that bloodshed works against movement goals in the end.”

 

Part I: Application of Criminological Theory (7-10 pages)

1. Pick two or three (no more) criminological theories from Chapters 5-9 that you find interesting and use them to explain and interpret some contemporary criminal issue. For instance, you could write about Islamic or White, nationalist terrorism, violence against women, the peculiarity of the high U.S. homicide rate, drug violence in the U.S. or Mexico, or some other issue. Choose an issue and obtain my approval for it no later than July 16th. Be sure to include a descriptive discussion of your case.

2. Make sure to compare and contrast the theoretical approaches in light of the contemporary issue you have chosen. Ultimately, I would like you to discuss which theory you find most compelling as an explanation for your issue, and to say why you think so.

 

3. Also make sure that you discuss both the strengths and the weaknesses for each theory as applied to your issue. You have to choose a “favorite” but no theory is perfect – include the blind spots of the theory as well as its virtues.

 

Part II: Evaluating the War on Drugs and Mass Imprisonment (5-8 pages)

1. Use course readings and lecture notes to discuss the so-called War on Drugs and the phenomenon known as Mass Imprisonment. Make sure to discuss the following issues:

a. Define and describe the War on Drugs and Mass Imprisonment. Be sure also to discuss the racial inequalities involved in both cases.
b. Has the War on Drugs been successful in its goals of reducing drug use and the sale and distribution of illicit drugs?
c. Regardless of whether your answer to (b) is Yes or No, and in light of the social implications of the War on Drugs for some neighborhoods in the U.S., explain why you think the War on Drugs has or has not been successful in a broader sense.

2. Use what you’ve learned throughout the course to craft an alternative piece of legislation that would replace the War on Drugs. This legislation should attempt to reduce drug use, reduce violence and crime associated with the sale and distribution of illegal drugs, and do all of this while minimizing the social costs associated with punishing offenders.

a. Essays that receive high grades for this section will integrate course material in skillful ways. It would be very easy to just talk about what you’d like to see here, but much more challenging to do so while grounded in the existing stock of knowledge in criminology.

Child Welfare and Family Preservation
An essential aspect of social work practice is the support and preservation of the family unit. Building and empowering strong, resilient families is a focus of social work practice within organizations and communities.

Social work research is an integral aspect of working with families. The research component of social work is essential to providing effective policies, programs, and services to support and empower families.

As a social worker, you need to be equipped with the knowledge and skills required for effectively working with families for child welfare. You also need to interpret and evaluate research findings involving family and child welfare.

For this Discussion, review this week’s resources. Consider the role of family preservation in child welfare, the research regarding family preservation, and the assumptions about foster care. Think about whether you agree with the research, and whether there are any gaps in your state foster care system that might contribute to the assumptions. Reflect on the benefits and shortfalls of permanency planning and family preservation and which approach you prefer.

***Post by Day 4 an explanation of the role of family preservation in child welfare. Then, explain whether research supports the assumption that foster care is harmful for children, as presented by the cornerstone argument for family preservation. Be sure to include whether you agree with this assumption and why you agree or disagree. Subsequently, identify the gaps in your state foster care system that contribute to the idea that foster care is harmful to children. Then, compare the benefits and shortfalls of permanency planning and family preservation. Finally, provide a description of whether you prefer the permanency or the family preservation approach as a child welfare social worker and why you prefer it.

 

 

3-2 Milestone Two: Your Role and the Triple Constraint
IT professionals will tell you that their work is a constant challenge as it requires them to be highly analytical and surprisingly creative while

typically acting within project constraints. Further, this complex mindset operates in relation to a team, wherein members often must be both

analytical and creative together!

In Milestone Two, you have the opportunity to practice this rich mix of skills while digging deeper into the student degree progress project and the

work of the project team, aligned with a carefully integrated schedule.

You will take on one of the three technical roles on the project team. Using the Gantt chart, you will first describe the work assigned to your role.

You will also list work performed by others that must be done prior to the tasks assigned to your role. In this milestone, you will also consider the

implications for the project restraints with the addition of a new project component that you will create.

To complete Milestone Two, you will need access to Microsoft Project. This will allow you to read and modify the Gantt chart in this milestone. MS

Project is free for use by SNHU students and can be accessed via Microsoft Imagine.

Microsoft Project resources are provided in the optional resources for this module. The Microsoft Project Tutorial document provides specific guidance

on the use of MS Project to complete this milestone.

 

Part A – Written Assessment

Making a marketing expense budget

Shrub Master Corporation is a growing company, based out of Wollongong NSW, Australia. Shrub Master Equipments specializes in the

manufacturing of a variety of farm & grassland mowing equipment. The growth in the past 8 years has been quite significant because of the

high quality & low maintenance equipment. The

sales targets for the financial year 2010-2011 have been far exceeded.

Shrub Master is now introducing a new range of cordless, silent, electric power driven lawn mowers both for the large & small households.

This is a new field which Shrub Master Equipment is venturing into. The CEO Robin William wants no expense spared for the marketing

campaign, however he also wants an effective campaign wherein each dollar spent gets maximum mileage.

You are the marketing manager of Shrub Master Equipment & have been given the task of making a marketing expense budget. The marketing

campaign will be spread over 6 months wherein a budgetary review will be done after a 3 month period.

In Part B you are required to monitor the budget after the marketing activities have been implemented & make any necessary changes &

corrective action.

In Part C you are required to make a report on the same.

You have thought of the following marketing activities

Mailer distribution campaignin the residential area spreading 6 square Kms.For this you need to design, print & have the mailers

distributed. The designing cost is $550 for a 4 colour mailer which is of the size 7 inches by 5 inches. The printing cost is $350 for a

stack of 800 mailers printed on a glossy paper with a thickness of 110 gsm. You need 1600 mailers for this. Apart from this you will have

to hire 6 boys working 5 hours a day covering 1 sq km each. You intend paying them $10 per hour. You will also have to train them for 2

hours before they start on the first day. These 2 hours will be a paid training. The mailer campaign will be repeated 8 times.


Newspaper Advertising:You intend advertising in the “Daily Herald” which isa leading newspaper. A full page single insert, coloured costs

$9000 & reaches an audience of around 80,000 people. You will have to get a new advertisement designed for this & the designing costs $500.

You intend to have this ad repeated for 5 consecutive Saturdays.

Radio Commercial:You also decide on a 60 second radio commercial on87.9 FM, which is a very popular radio station. The charges for a 60

second commercial are $2000 which will be repeated 8 times in a day at prominent times. You decide to run this radio campaign for 20 days

spaced at regular intervals. The radio station also prepares the ads/jingles & charges $750 per jingle. You think it will be a good idea if

the station prepares the ad.

You have to prepare an individual marketing expense budget for each of the above Marketing expenses & then collate them into a Marketing

Activity Master Budget.

Part B – Written Assessment

Monitoring a marketing budget as per marketing objective / plan

The marketing plan was launched in the rural & suburban areas of Wollongong, generating a lot of activity. Your CEO has given specific

instructions that there should neither be any wastage in the budget nor any corners need to be cut.

So you have been very carefully monitoring the marketing budget whilst the campaign has been going on. The budget / campaign has now been

on for almost 3 months & now it’s the time to look at the Actual vs Budgeted figures for the marketing expenses & take corrective action

for the balance of the 3 months.

You observe the following things while monitoring the marketing plan in action for these 3 months:

– The Shrub Master logo appears quite smudged & unclear on a 7 X 5 sizeof flier. Plus the font was also not quite readable. So you had to

redesign the logo placement & get full colour mailers printed on a 9 X 6 mailer, on a matte type finish. The designing now cost you $600 &

the fliers cost you $900 for a stack of 1500 mailers.

– On one occasion you found that the flier distribution boys were simply sitting

& chatting in a café & on another occasion you found that a whole bunch of fliers were thrown in a trash bin. So you decided that one

of your junior staff members should supervise these boys. You paid your staff member an extra $20/hr for supervision & surprise visits. The

total hours that were spent on this supervision were around 25.

– The mailer campaign was repeated 7 times.

– Your CEO suggested & you repeated the “Daily Herald” advertising for 7consecutive Saturdays.

– As regards to the radio advertising, it was decided to have a popular radioshow host – Michael Brumby, interview your CEO wherein your

CEO would talk about the great things of the new products. This spot was purchased at the rate of $4500 for a 10 min spot. Looking at the

amount of proposed booking for the radio advertising, the radio station decided to give you a discount. The special price for you, now is

$1700 per 60 second ad.

Task 1:

Prepare the Actual ad spent at the end of the 3 month period.

Task 2:

Compare the Actual money spent with the budgeted & provide the variance

(Variance = Budgeted minus Actual. If negative, its U – Unfavourable & if positive, its F – Favourable)

Part C – Written Assessment

Marketing Report

Task 1

– Based on your understanding of Marketing reporting / Marketing reportwriting, prepare & send a report to your CEO Mr Robin Williams

underlining the reasons for the variations in the marketing budget.

Task 2

– Use & illustrate the required graphs / bar charts to show the fluctuationbetween the budgeted & actual marketing figures for each of the

components.
