I don’t understand this Sociology question and need help to study. Week 2 Discussion: Understanding Child Development Theory Course Objective 1: Examine and discuss major theories of child development. Theories help us interpret and predict the developmental process. While they are not always correct, they provide a useful framework for making sense of what might […]

The purpose of this paper is to effectively argue which of the covered theories you feel would be most useful and successful in reducing crime, building community relationships, and increasing officer safety. Consisting of 5-6 pages, please include the headings and content as indicated below: Introduction: Include a brief introduction to the paper indicating the theory/model that will be explored. The Theory: Describe the theory you believe would be most successful in addressing the goals above. Using support from class and outside readings clearly outline this model of policing and the theories or philosophy that support it. The Support: Using class and scholarly articles as well as any local information/statistics, provide a detailed, well-supported section on how this theory is successful. Explain, integrate, and apply at least FOUR assigned course readings AND find 3-4 scholarly, sociological or criminological articles to explore how the field has/is discussing this problem. Show examples of communities that have thrived under this model and/or departments that have found it effective. Clearly indicate how the theory addresses and meets the policing goals stated above. Application: Create a specific plan, similar to the one in week 5, where you use your chosen theory to push for specific changes in police organization, practices, training, etc. It is in this section that you will consider how you might apply the theory to real material and physical changes within your imaginary department. Avoid vagueness; for example, do not just say ‘I would have more training’ but rather clarify what you would implement for recruits and how you think implementing such a practice is aligned with your theory. Conclusion: Address how you might use what you have learned once you get into the academy/on the street. What knowledge have you learned and how might you translate it into useful skills while an officer
