Northwestern State University of Louisiana Criminal Justice Discussion

I’m working on a criminal justice multi-part question and need a sample draft to help me learn.

1. Describe and discuss restorative justice and its potential role in dealing with misconduct and corruption in corrections.

2. You are responsible for the prison system of a large state on the west coast, which is deeply immersed in a scandal. A prison warden who, you are chagrined to discover, was also a sex addict, allowed himself to be used by several inmates, who planned and successfully executed an escape. Now, there is a massive tunnel system to fill and an institutional corruption to address. What systems will you put in place to reform your prisons?

3. Briefly describe how utilitarianism can be used to both support and reject the use of torture in interrogations.

4. You are in charge of cyber-security for the NSA. Your job necessitates the highest security clearance, and you are privy to many of the most secret inner workings of the agency. In the last six months, as a response to a domestic terrorist attack, you have become aware that the NSA is collecting data without a subpoena from millions of Americans. A special file is being made of Muslim citizens, even though the attack was not being carried out by them. Revealing these secrets will expose you to prison; not revealing them would mean you neglected what you feel is an illegal breach of the public trust. What will you do? Explain in detail.

5. Discuss the elements that contribute to the correctional officer subculture, and show how this subculture impacts officer behavior.
