evaluate an existing community justice program

evaluate an existing community justice program

Order Description

For your Portfolio project, you will research and evaluate an existing community justice program, as well as assess the potential future paths for this program and community justice in the area it represents.

Chose a specific area in which community justice may be applied: neighborhood, school, university, law enforcement agency, court system, community corrections, or other naturally defined community. Locate a program that operates in the area you’ve chosen, using either an actual program you have access to or a program that is well identified with detailed information on the Web. If your research will be Web-based, try to identify a contact person with the program you are interested in. A good place to start is Restorative Justice Online (http://www.restorativejustice.org/). Make sure the program you choose fits the parameters of a community justice program and that enough information exists to allow a good study.

You will be required to submit your Portfolio research topic for approval by the end of Week 2. No points will be assigned for this deliverable, but points will be deducted from your final grade on the Portfolio Project if you fail to submit this in the week required (see the Portfolio Project Rubric).
