This week you will critically evaluate the role law enforcement plays in prevention and response to the type of abuse you chose (CHILD ABUSE IN MINNESOTA) in Module 02. First, conduct scholarly research to examine the role law enforcement has in preventing the type of abuse. Provide a thorough summary supported with research of at least two prevention efforts used by law enforcement. Next, provide a thorough summary of law enforcement’s response to the type of abuse. What role does law enforcement play in responding to this type of abuse? What policy recommendations or statutory requirements are used to guide the response? Finally, conduct research to examine the challenges of these prevention efforts and responses. Incorporate at least one challenge to a prevention effort discussed and one challenge of response.

The assignment should meet APA formatting guidelines and incorporate at least two scholarly sources (from the library databases). Here is the section of the outline provided in the Project Introduction found in Module 01 that provides a breakdown of what should be included in this segment:
