Describe at least one process for law enforcement, the judiciary, or corrections relevant to the criminal justice issue.
Describe an application for criminology that is relevant to the criminal justice issue.
To help you with this part, think about how a criminological theory could support a program or approach relevant to the criminal justice issue. For example, the article by Messer, Patten, and Candela (2016) relates life course theory to the use of drug courts.
If the article that you choose addresses a theory in criminology, you may use the article to help you address this part of the assignment. If the article does not address criminology, then please use one of the following resources: Messer et al. (2016), pages 78; Salvatore (2017), pages 12; or Zoutewelle-Terovan and Skardhamar (2016), pages 697698.
