Description
you are working in the research unit of a foundation that awards grants to criminal justice agencies. The foundation is interested in promoting inter-agency collaboration to address specific issues in criminal justice. There is a formal debate in the office as to whether a particular case of apparent cooperation/collaboration was actually effective. Your supervisor is championing one side of this discussion. You have been asked to provide a review of the case identified below. Specifically, your supervisor asked you to compose a paper that included responses to the four questions provided. (See Item #3 below.)
- Read the following report from the National Institute of Justice:
“Baltimore’s Comprehensive Communities Program: A Case Study”
- Respond to the following questions:
1Describe the positive aspects of the collaborative initiative
2What partner do you feel is less essential to the initiative and why? (Note “None” is not an option.)
3What criminal justice entity do you feel could have enhanced the success of the initiative?]
4What NON-criminal justice entity do you feel could have enhanced the success of the initiative?
Note: While these four questions may be helpful in creating an outline, the paper itself must be presented as a formal narrative case study.
