Criminological theories are systematic explanations for observed phenomena. That is, criminological theories rely upon either research experiments or real-life events to test their validity. In this course, you do not need to conduct full research experiments; but, you do need to conduct basic research and consume research done by others in order to effectively plan, prepare, and act upon real-life criminal justice events in your career. Theories also guide consumers of research in organizing concepts, developing strategies, and interpreting data; things you will utilize in other courses throughout this program of study.
Prepare for this Discussion by selecting a criminological theory and a particular criminal event or type of crime. Think about how this theory could be used to analyze the criminal event or type of crime.

Contemporary Policies and Practices
The United States criminal justice system is governed by various sets of policies and practices developed from federal statues, regulations, and case law. Interpretation of these policies and practices is ultimately adjudicated by the Supreme Court of the United States, and that court’s decisions affect many practical, on-the-job components of everyday criminal justice professionals. For example, whether and how officers may legally stop, search, and seize evidence. As such, it is essential for a criminal justice professional to understand two things: first, how Supreme Court decisions impact a criminal justice professional’s everyday job in significant ways; and, second, how leadership and administrators in criminal justice take action within their organizations to enforce the court’s decisions.
To Prepare:
· Review the Learning Resources on criminal justice policies.
· Review the articles and media on the Supreme Court decisions related to policing and corrections.
· Explore contemporary Supreme Court cases related to policing and corrections.
For this Assignment, select one of the two topics:
· Policing
· Corrections
Use the Supreme Court of the United States Blog, located in the Learning Resources, to find a contemporary case related to policing or corrections.
The Assignment:
· Provide a brief summary of the case.
· Provide an argument about whether you believe the ruling is correct or what it should be, if the case is still active.
o Ensure that your argument is supported by at least three credible resources.
o Provide references to case laws and facts to support your argument.
· Explain how you think the Supreme Court’s decision, or potential decision, may impact agencies (police or corrections) moving forward.
· Recommend at least 2–3 specific actions or steps that could be implemented by leadership to avoid future violations.
