Final Project – An Application of the
Criminal Justice System
Instructions
This assignment is to demonstrate your mastery of how the
criminal justice system works. This assignment is designed to give you an
opportunity to display your knowledge of the parts and processes of the
criminal justice system. The more specific and detailed the paper is, the more
effective it will be in demonstrating your understanding of the system.
Step 1. Select a current events case, in the last ten years,
to analyze in the American criminal justice system. The case should be one
where a life sentence or death sentence was the outcome.
**Your case must be submitted to the instructor for approval
in week four. Please submit your topic and briefly explain how the topic meets
the project criteria. Topics must be approved before moving forward with the
project.
Step 2. Describe the details of the case, including the
nature of the offense, background of the offender, and an analysis of each
component in the criminal justice system: advantages/disadvantages of police
procedures, details and/or issues with court proceedings, and whether the
correctional sentence was appropriate based on the nature of the offense and
background of the offender.
Step 3. Conclude your paper by thoroughly analyzing the
impact this case has had or will have on future criminal justice outcomes.
Careful critical thinking is required here. Invest considerable effort in
thinking about what you have learned over the course of the term in addressing
this final aspect of the mission.

descriptions of the criminal justice process include the course reading
material and two peer-reviewed journal articles. As an academic paper, it must
