Assignment 2.2: Justification Report – Part 2
Due Week 5 and worth 150 points

In Part 1 of your Justification Report assignment, you built up the following sections: Problem Statement, Overview of Alternatives, Criteria, and Methods. In Part 2, you will revise Part 1 based on your instructor’s suggestions and add to it the following sections: Evaluation of Alternatives, Findings and Analysis, and References.

Use the basic outline below to draft your paper. Organize your responses to each question under the following section headings:

• Evaluation of Alternatives (for Questions 1-3)
• Findings and Analysis (for Questions 4-5)
• References (for Question 6)

 

Write a two (2) page, single-spaced report in which you:

 

1. Research the two (2) alternatives (i.e. possible solutions) that you’ve identified in your Part 1 Evaluation of Alternatives section. Record bibliographic information during research.
   1. Example: You might research other organizations that have attempted similar solutions to the problem you have identified and explore the results of those experiments. 
2. Use what you discover in your research to evaluate each alternative by each of your five (5) criteria.
   1. Example: If your research revealed that four companies similar to yours increased productivity after allowing their workers to telework from home three days per week, you might conclude that one of your suggested alternatives – in this case, the option to telework from home three days per week – satisfies one of your criterion of “Productivity” as a high-potential solution to a problem you’ve identified (of decreased worker morale and productivity at Doe’s Electronics). However, additional research might frustrate a recommendation of this alternative if it is found to fall short of other criteria while a second alternative fares better. For instance, a telework alternative might be found to be too costly to implement; too frustrating for consumers who prefer daily, in-person customer service; or too divergent from the company’s brand, “Always there for you!”
3. Organize the assignment by your criteria. Explain in narrative form how each of your two (2) alternatives stacks up against your first criterion. Next, explain how each alternative stacks up against your second criterion, etc.
   1. Example: An abbreviated outline of what this longer section might look like based on the above example is below (Note: Only the first two [2] of five [5] required criteria are included to give you a feel for the structure). Your researched findings, represented as circled bullets below, should be explained in two to five (2-5) sentences. Include in-text citations and follow up with References in APA style):

      Evaluation of Alternatives

      • Productivity
      1. • Alternative A: Telework from home 3 days per week
           • {narrate findings based on research article 1 here}
         • Alternative B: Offer two extra Floating Holidays to each employee per year
           • {narrate findings based on research article 2 here}
      • Cost
      1. • Alternative A: Telework from home 3 days per week
           • {narrate findings based on research article 1 here}
         • Alternative B: Offer two extra Floating Holidays to each employee per year
         • • {narrate findings based on research article 2 here}
4. Briefly summarize in narrative form the major discoveries that emerged from the Evaluation of Alternatives section.
5. Include a chart like the ones below to illustrate at a glance:

   Figure 1: Alternatives Analyzed by Criteria

   Criteria	Telework Option	Floating Holiday Option
   Productivity	Very high	Negligible increase
   Cost	Very high	Moderate
   Company Image	Increased	Negligible increase
   Worker Morale	Increased	Negligible increase
   Practicality	Moderate	Low
   TOTAL Feasibility* of Alternatives based on Criteria?	Moderate to High	Low to Moderate

   *Feasability = Capability of an alternative being carried out with success

6. Include an APA style (6th edition) References page that documents the two (2) sources (minimum) that you used and cited in-text in your Evaluation of Alternatives section.  Note that both resources may be secondary resources, or you may include one primary source and one secondary source. Remember that both in-text citations and References must be included (to avoid plagiarism) whenever you are directly quoting, summarizing, or paraphrasing researched material.

 

Your assignment must:

 

• Be typed, single spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, your name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

 

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

 

• Support ideas or claims in body paragraphs with clear details, examples, and explanations.
• Organize ideas logically by using transitional words, phrases, and sentences.
• Use sentence variety and effective word choice in written communication.

Consider the following scenario: You are a sworn police officer, but because you possess a college degree in criminal justice, you have been assigned to work for 6 months to a year as a staff officer in the office of the chief of police. Your chief came up through the ranks at a time when community-policing programs were a new aspect of social policy designed to create a more positive image of police officers as partners with neighborhood organizations and communities.

Recently, there have been some skirmishes between members of the African-American community and Somali refugee groups, and most of the perpetrators on both sides are juveniles, although some are adults. The Somali community members were resettled in your city and several others on humanitarian grounds as part of a federally supported program to aid people fleeing their nations in the aftermath of war.

Other cities with significant Somali refugee communities include the following:

• Columbus, Ohio
• Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota
• Hartford, Connecticut
• Salt Lake City, Utah

In your city ,the individual cases where fighting occurred between Somali refugees and members of the African-American community have been dealt with through the courts where appropriate, but the chief would like to understand the issues better to respond with proactive solutions to the potential for escalated violence. He has had a meeting with the administrative director of the courts and is anxious for the police department to explore the possibility of working with the juvenile court system in the city to establish a program through which crimes of youth offenders could be addressed outside of traditional judicial proceedings.

One possibility raised in this meeting was establishing a victim/offender program based on restorative justice, sometimes called restorative dialogue. An emphasis on working with the African-American and Somali refugee community issues would be the focus of a pilot program. You have been assigned to write a short report for the chief focusing on the following issues:

• He wants a better understanding of the issues causing the violence.
• He would like to know whether similar problems have occurred in other cities where Somali refugee communities have settled and how these were handled.
• He would like to be made aware of the range of options for dispute resolution including alternative approaches (ADR or alternative dispute resolution).
• He wants your thoughts and recommendations.

This is your chance to have an important influence on the shape of social policy in your city.

Assignment Guidelines

• Address the following in 4–6 pages:
  1. Provide sufficient background about the resettlement of Somali refugees in U.S. communities to help your chief understand the context, with particular attention to key factors that you believe could be contributing to violent outbreaks between the refugees and members of the African-American community.
  2. Include any information that you can find about whether other U.S. cities with communities of Somali refugees have faced similar problems, report on their analysis of why these problems occurred, and indicate how those cities addressed the outbreaks of violence.
  3. List and describe the primary forms of established approaches to alternative dispute resolution, but ensure to also include the less well-known approach of victim/offender dialogue (also known as restorative dialogue).
  4. To address the Chief’s particular interests, discuss victim/offender programs based in the restorative justice/restorative dialogue approach in your report.
     • Include enough information to enable the chief of police to understand the ways in which this approach relates to other nonjudicial forms of dispute resolution and how it could be useful for his intended purposes in working with the juvenile courts.
  5. Provide your recommendations to the chief in this report, and conclude with your own thoughts about how a program using one or more alternative forms of dispute resolution where juvenile offenders are concerned could have positive outcomes in terms of social policy.
     • For example, a program allowing for results that would help neighborhoods and the city as well as reduce the number of court cases and the incarceration of juveniles. Include possible problems or disadvantages.
• Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.

Conduct research using the library, news reports, Internet, and videos to find information on restorative justice, inmate forgiveness, and the right to privacy.

A member of your family was brutally murdered. The inmate is currently on death row, awaiting execution. A member of a victims’ rights group contacts your family to discuss the possibility of meeting with your family and the convicted murderer. The inmate wants to seek forgiveness before he is executed. The members of your family are outraged that this group dared to even contact your family. Members of your family express their concern regarding the invasion of their privacy. No matter what the inmate will say, it will not bring the family member back, and your family is not concerned with the inmate’s feelings or his desire to make amends for the crime he committed. Most your family members are opposed to meeting the convicted murderer, but you have some unanswered questions, and this would help you deal with the death of your loved one.

You are going to have a family meeting on this matter to decide what action your family should take. You are preparing some information and performing research on whether or not meeting the convicted murderer would benefit your family and bring closure to this tragedy. In your discussion, include theories of morality, values, and consequences. You must also include the following information for the family to ensure that everyone is fully informed:

• In terms of ethics, describe the concepts and purposes of restorative justice and restitution.
• Address some ethical issues related to the concepts of restorative justice and restitution.
• Include some implications of restorative justice and how you would approach the decision to allow or refuse a meeting with a convicted murderer.
• Compose a description of the decision-making process, including the steps on how to approach the situations, a list of questions if a meeting is granted, or a list of possible reasons for rejecting the meeting.
