Question 1 What challenges does law enforcement face today, and in the future, due to the advancement of technology?  Why?  Support you response with cited outside research. Question 2 A common approach to addressing ethical dilemmas involves the "front-page test."  This is a quick ethics test that asks whether you would feel comfortable with your decision if your action was published on the front page of a newspaper. The thought behind this test is -- if you would not want your action to be publicized, there might be an ethical problem with your decision. Utilize Internet search engines to identify a scenario that directly or indirectly relates to a topic we discussed this semester (i.e., an ethical transgression involving a criminal justice practitioner).  Would the criminal justice practitioner’s actions pass the "front page test"?  Thoroughly explain your answer. Remember to cite your supportive resources. Question 3 Question One (before Thursday): Here is your next-to-the-last question . . . indeed, the only question that really matters:  What is the single most useful and important thing you've learned in this entire class about current issues in Criminal Justice?  Don't forget to respond to at least two fellow students' post for both questions one and two. Question Two (after Wednesday): How do you plan to use what you’ve learned in this class “out there?”  Please Note:  This is different from all past similar questions because this time you may consider the class as a total learning experience.  In other words, you may consider the weekly readings, the Discussion Participation, the Group Project, the other assignments, interaction with your fellow learners and/or the professor, or anything else that relates to the course.  Be substantive, quote sources, really make a case as to why it is of use and why it is important to you - then use the internet to find at least one related scholarly article from an authoritative source that confirms, or disconfirms, any key concepts you may choose.  Upload a copy of the article to your response, or provide a link to the article.  Question 4 For the mini-essay, I'd like for you to provide a reflective response to "how effective has Texas been in reducing recidivism among their juveniles."  From your reading you will see how Texas incorporates treatment programs in addressing delinquency.  You can use additional sources to assist you formulating your thoughts. 

A pilot had always dreamed of flying the Alaska bush, but that dream had been sidetracked by the responsibilities to earn a living adequate to support a family. Now that the family had emptied the nest, the pilot was able to buy a brand-new short takeoff and landing (STOL) tailwheel bush plane from a local dealer, practice short and soft field landings, take a few months off work, load up the hunting, fishing, and camping gear and head out to fulfill that dream. While making a picture-perfect landing on a gravel bar in an Alaskan river, one of the airplane’s left main landing gear struts collapsed, causing the aircraft to be wrecked, and the pilot seriously injured. The gear collapse was caused by a metallurgical flaw in the strut, which had been manufactured by a subcontractor of the aircraft’s manufacturer. The flaw was present when the subcontractor delivered the part to the manufacturer.Who is potentially legally liable for the pilot’s injuries, and why? Could it make a difference if the pilot had bought the airplane a long time before the accident? Explain.Respond critically and analytically, but politely and professionally, to at least two of your classmates’ posts. At least one of your replies must be to a scenario other than the ones you chose to answer. Express your agreement or disagreement with their analyses and clearly state your reasons.
