Assignment: You have been hired as a consultant by the local police commissioner to lend your expertise on criminal justice research for the education of the police captains, who will be developing a new citywide crime prevention strategy. As an introductory task in this position, you are to write a letter to the local police captains explaining the theories used to approach your research. Prepare a 5–7 page letter to the captains of the police precincts that address the following questions: Possible Points: 105 Requirements: Topic Points: Above you will see four different points that I need to see addressed in your paper. In essence, this paper can be broken into four sections, which should each represent subheadings. I recommend the following structure for the paper (you may use it or develop your own but have an outline). I have also provided a book chapter that you will be of help as you proceed in the course. Here is a video tutorial on how to create an outline. . Your paper will include the following sections: o Deductive (This is a Subheading) o Inductive (This is a Subheading) o Grounded (This is a Subheading) o Axiomatic (This is a Subheading) o Theory (What is it, provide an example, specific to the crime prevention context) o Hypothesis o Variables o Additional Concepts Be certain that you do not approach this letter as a “question and answer” format. Use the crime prevention context you have been given to explain each of the theory approaches, what strength they provide, the relationship between theory and your hypothesis (use the context to do this), and then identify a few variables within the project. Remember your context is crime prevention strategies. At this point in your career, you should have some familiarity with crime prevention and if you do not, I can recommend some great resources to give you the quick details you need. Above all else, remember your audience. You are writing to police captains, so explain with examples. If you write this as concept-definition, you will miss your audience. You have a context, you know the concepts; now just explain them to the reader. Paper Format: 5-7 Pages (1750 – 2450 Words) – This includes content only (the body of the paper) 12-point font and Reference section. Resources: . I know this seems like a lot but you are writing on a topic that needs at the very least this many to properly state your case. This means I should see no less than five resources in your reference section and no less than five internal citations has ti have an abstract and be formated as above with headings and subheadings
