2. Is background or current status material provided if necessary? Is it clear and purposeful?
3. Are there at least three sub-points? What are they? In the body of the paper, are those sub-points well supported and amply developed with evidence?
4. Does the paper maintain a focus upon the thesis? Does it wander? Does it appear to contradict itself?

6. Is the introduction engaging and purposeful? Is the conclusion forceful and purposeful?
7. Is there a WORKS CITED page and does it look appropriate? Are they alphabetically ordered?
Is there evidence that each of these listed sources are used in the paper itself? Are the listed sources parallel to the essay?

my topic on this essay is Gun should not be legal in the US

There are four major activities in drug law enforcement:
Source Control activities targeting cultivation, manufacturing and production of controlled dangerous substances in foreign countries
Interdiction preventing the successful smuggling of controlled dangerous substances into the United States. This focuses on the smuggling methods of sea, air and land which includes aircraft, vessels, personnel (body carry, swallowing) and parcel shipments among others.
Street-level enforcement undercover and informant driven investigations targeting the retail sales level of drug trafficking. The text identified the following tactics:
Reversals Undercover operations where law enforcement poses as drug traffickers
Controlled buy Undercover operations where confidential informants are used to may purchases of contraband under the direct supervision and direction of a law enforcement investigator
Undercover buy Direct purchase of controlled dangerous substances by the undercover officer from the target
Knock and Talk overt investigational tactic where fully identified law enforcement makes contact with individuals at a location, usually a residence, and consent to search the residence is obtained
Correctional system this could also be described as prosecution or courts. Once the defendants are in the correctional system, they have been convicted. The federal penalties for drug trafficking are often times much higher at the federal level as opposed to the state. Also, the effectiveness of federal prosecutions is usually much higher in the areas with the drug trafficking activity.
These areas of drug enforcement are all challenging and important tactics in the criminal justice approach to the drug issue. Of the four tactics: source control, interdiction and corrections occur primarily in the federal arena (although some state jurisdictions can effectively prosecute cases, federal prosecutions are much more effective). For members of the community, drug enforcement means the buy-busts (controlled and undercover operations), search warrants and reversals that provide the greatest impact to our quality of life.
For this discussion question, please address the following:
How do the different levels of the criminal justice system (federal, state and local) interface to accomplish these street level enforcement objectives? Give examples of how this would work and please search the library database, internet NEWS sources or web sites for criminal justice agencies (hint: DEA is a good one!) to provide examples to support your position. Be sure to cite your sources.

Unit VII PowerPoint Presentation

Restorative Justice PowerPoint Presentation

For this assignment, create a PowerPoint presentation about restorative justice practices in criminal justice. Imagine that
you are an employee of a victim advocacy organization, and your supervisor has asked you to create an informational
training presentation for local criminal justice professionals about restorative justice practices. Be creative, have fun, and
engage your audience with your presentation!

Slide 78: A description of a local (loosely defined) restorative justice program
Slide 910: A brief review of the effectiveness of one specific restorative justice program
Slide 11: References slide

much about restorative justice.

Your PowerPoint presentation should be at least 11 slides in length, including the title and reference slides. You are required
to use your textbook and at least one peer-reviewed, academic source from the Waldorf Online Library. Be sure that you
