Discuss and demonstrates sound knowledge and understanding of the prison, its role, the challenges, and the consequences of ‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌imprisonment on different social groups. ?

Q‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌UESTION “…among some practitioners, there is a worrying assumption that the reformist battles have been won. Prisons are so clearly more decent, cleaner, more purposeful places – the argument goes – that there is no obvious manifesto for reform. This view underestimates the complex pains and new frustrations of the modern prison.” (Crewe, 2009, 449) Use the above statement to critically evaluate the current position with regard to reform of the prison system in England and Wales. Support your answer with examples from up to three of the areas which you have studied. Ben Crewe The Prisoner Society 2009 Oxford, Oxford University Press Assessment Criteria: ? Discuss and demonstrates sound knowledge and understanding of the prison, its role, the challenges, and the consequences of ‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌imprisonment on different social groups. ? Demonstrates a breadth and depth of substantive knowledge that is comprehensive, accurate and relevant. ? Demonstrates the ability to construct and sustain reasoned arguments with the use of theory and evidence. ? Demonstrates an ability to evaluate critically as well as provide complex analysis and comprehension evidenced by a wide selection of sources and theories. ? Demonstrates an ability to express an answer clearly and concisely using correct grammar, spelling, communication and structure. ? Selects relevant sources to support your answer. ?

This means providing accurate citations for all textbooks, websites, journals and other sources correctly referenced using the Harvard referenc‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌ing system.

Explain what they do, how they do it, and how it impacts those agencies.

In this week’s research paper, we are going to explore innovative and unique customer service programs:
First, find a customer service program that is used by Hospitals, Health Systems, or other patient facing institutions. Explain what they do, how they do it, and how it impacts those agencies. (Note: These typically have acronyms or are branded programs that you should be able to find online.)
Second, find a unique, new, innovative employee engagement program that is OUTSIDE the field of EMS.
Explain what they do, how they do it, and how it impacts those agencies.
Assuming that we have removed all barriers (i.e. There are no funding issues, regulatory issues, etc.), explain how you would implement such a program or a program like it in your agency. If the unique program you find inspires you to create a different unique program or idea, feel free to write about that.
Papers should have at least 3 references.

Immigration policy, e.g., how restrictive are the country’s immigration policies?

1) Choose a policy output or outcome and describe how it can be empirically measured or identified and
2) summarise existing theories and research findings on what causes differences (or variation) in the policy output or policy outcome of interest.’

‘1) Choose a policy output or outcome and describe how it can be empirically measured or identified’

I would suggest allocating a maximum of one third of your term paper to answering this part of the question.

You need not limit yourself to a single policy output or outcome. You are welcome to choose a coherent set of policy outputs or outcomes. Examples:
• Environmental policy outputs and/or outcomes
• Social welfare policy outputs and/or outcomes
• Immigration policy outputs and/or outcomes
• Etc.

Some more specific examples of policy outputs:
• Tax policy outputs, e.g., what is the tax rate?
• Environmental policy, e.g., to what extent is the country an environmental leader or laggard?
• Social welfare policy, e.g., how generous are the country’s social welfare policies (replacement rates)?
• Immigration policy, e.g., how restrictive are the country’s immigration policies?
• Agro-environmental/biodiversity policy, e.g., are there restrictions on hedgerow cutting?
• Energy policy, e.g., has the country adopted a Feed-In Tariff for renewable electricity generation?
There are lots of other examples of policy outputs and outcomes in the week 2 lecture material, and elsewhere in the module.

In discussing measurement or identification, we are interested in how the policy output or outcome (or the set of outputs/outcomes) can be described in a systematic way. How can the concept be operationalised – i.e., how do we know it when we see it? Measurement is about attaching numbers to the concept (in this case a policy output or outcome), while identification is about its presence or absence.
2) summarise existing theories and findings on what causes differences (or variation) in your policy output or policy outcome of interest.

This section is about writing a review of the research literature on what explains differences or variation in the output(s) or outcome(s) of interest.

The module outline is a good place to begin. It provides you with sessions that deal with explanations of policy outputs or outcomes that focus on different sets of factors:
• Institutions
• Ideas
• Interest groups
• International influences, esp. diffusion
• Path dependence
• Political parties
• Ministers
• Civil servants

One approach to this section is to choose a few categories of explanation from the literature on your chosen output(s)/outcome(s), e.g., institutional explanations, idea-based explanations, and interest-based explanations, and to focus on reviewing those categories of explanations.

You don’t need to cover all of these types of explanations, but try to identify a few of them among the readings on your particular output(s)/outcome(s). Which explanations are most relevant will vary depending on the policy output(s)/outcome(s) on which you are focusing.

Which company would you find more attractive as a potential employee?

Employer of Choice (EOC)After reading both of the weekly readings Employer of choice: the new corporate imperative and The Employer of Choice, identify two companies to compare and contrast in terms of EOC. The companies should be similar in size based on annual revenue or number employees, but do not have to be competitors or in the same industry. Also, address the questions below in your paper.How the companies’ EOC policies and practices create advantages or disadvantages for their sustainability and growth?What could the companies learn from each other?Which company would you find more attractive as a potential employee? Why?The requirements below must be met for your paper to be accepted and graded:Write between 750 – 1,250 words (approximately 3 – 5 pages) using Microsoft Word in APA style, see example below.Use font size 12 and 1” margins.Include cover page and reference page.At least 80% of your paper must be original content/writing.No more than 20% of your content/information may come from references.Use at least three references from outside the course material, one reference must be from EBSCOhost. Text book, lectures, and other materials in the course may be used, but are not counted toward the three reference requirement.Cite all reference material (data, dates, graphs, quotes, paraphrased words, values, etc.) in the paper and list on a reference page in APA style.References must come from sources such as, scholarly journals found in EBSCOhost, CNN, online newspapers such as, The Wall Street Journal, government websites, etc. Sources such as, Wikis, Yahoo Answers, eHow, blogs, etc. are not acceptable for academic writing.
