- Are the driving forces of the myriad laws that have been in effect since the founding fathers penned the constitution? These laws continue to evolve and grow in scope. As such, we recognize the need to treat the citizenry with the utmost of these protections. For social administration of justice though, we must view the topic from the lens of the criminal justice employee and administrator. Discuss the comparison and contrast of these rights as compared against those enjoyed by the citizenry.
- Please choose ONE of the Topic areas to research and write your paper on:
- Topic 1: Do those who serve in criminal justice administrative and operational roles POSSESS more, equal, or fewer social justice rights than the general population they serve.
- Topic 2: Do those who serve in criminal justice administrative and operational roles EXERCISE more, equal, or fewer social justice rights than the general population they serve.
