| This module’s assigned reading by Bush and Matthews explores the distribution of federal funding for reintegration programs across the nation. Criminal justice professionals agree that more than one approach is necessary to address the emerging needs of the prison population. The assigned reading also explores the most prevalent recidivism reduction strategies in the U.S. <br>Law enforcement officers play a vital role in the process of reintegration. Their roles include relationship building in the community. To build trust within communities' law enforcement agencies, law enforcement professionals must maintain integrity, honesty, ethical conduct, and conduct police work unbiasedly. Bush and Matthews (2023) describe five strategies essential to building trusting collaborative relationships between law enforcement and the community. <br>Please review these strategies and create an action plan based on these strategies. The action plan can be geared towards the community or within a criminal justice institution. The action plan should be in a narrative format. You will list the strategy and follow the list with an explanation of how you would implement it in the setting you chose. Discuss and use at least two of the strategies, explain the logic used to determine why the strategies are important, and then summarize how to implement an action plan. <br>Length: 5-7 pages, not including title and reference pages <br>References: Support your assignment with at least 2 scholarly resources. <br>The completed assignment should address all the assignment requirements, exhibit evidence of concept knowledge, and demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the content presented in the course. The writing should integrate scholarly resources, reflect academic expectations, and current APA standards. <br>When applicable, <br>**conduct a Turnitin pre-check** and then upload your completed assignment and click the Submit to Dropbox button. |

LIT 100 Introduc.on to Literature
Thesis Examples for Literary Analysis
The thesis is the controlling idea or central, unifying claim of a literary essay. To put it differently,
it’s a strong statement of an argument that you’ll be elabora:ng and suppor:ng throughout the
paper. A thesis must be analy:cal, rather than merely descrip:ve. In other words, you must
make a non-obvious, interpre:ve claim about the text(s) you’re analyzing. More simply, the
thesis should make a point that a casual reader (or viewer of a film) would not immediately get.
Here’s a statement that would NOT work as a thesis:
This essay will contrast the use of point of view in Joyce’s “Araby” and Hemingway’s “Hills Like
White Elephants” and show how each contributes to the meaning of the stories.
Note that this statement doesn’t really make a claim about the text. It’s simply sta:ng what the
author is intending to do in the essay. That doesn’t work for this assignment. A stronger thesis
would make a concrete claim about how the text creates meaning. Here’s another example that
doesn’t quite work:
In “Araby,” Joyce uses the first-person perspec.ve of a young boy, while in “Hills Like White
Elephants” Hemingway employs a third person perspec.ve to tell the story of an estranged
couple.
This is a factually true statement about the stories. But it’s not arguable. A good thesis must be
arguable in two senses. First, it must be a claim that someone could disagree with. Secondly,
and perhaps more importantly, an analy:cal thesis is a claim that requires support—in the form
of arguments you will make in the paper. It’s something you wouldn’t expect an engaged reader
to accept without evidence. Here’s a bePer example that makes an insighQul, analy:cal point:
In Joyce’s “Araby” and Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants,” the authors use point of
view to heighten the impact of the stories. In “Araby,” the first-person narra.on helps Joyce
convey the young boy’s shame and anguish, while the detached third-person narra.on in
“Hills Like White Elephants” allows Hemingway to drama.ze the estrangement between the
central characters.
This claim is arguable—you’ll need to work (by providing concrete evidence from the text) to
get your readers to agree. When devising a thesis, you should also strive to tell your audience
why your claim maPers. In other words, what does it all add up to? Why is it interes:ng?
Looking at the example above, it’s all well and good to say that the authors use different points
of view. But making a claim about the effect of these choices—what larger meaning these
things create—makes the thesis much stronger. (Note that the thesis in this example is two
sentences; that’s not a problem.)
In addi:on, avoid unnecessary metadiscourse. In your thesis, you should make a claim about
the text (or film) directly. This problem is evident in the first example above. Here’s another
example of unnecessary metadiscourse (underlined):
LIT 100 Introduc.on to Literature
In this paper, I will argue that in Joyce’s “Araby” and Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants”
the authors use point of view to heighten the impact of the stories. In “Araby,” the first-
person narra.on helps Joyce convey the young boy’s shame and anguished, while the
detached third-person narra.on in “Hills Like White Elephants” allows Hemingway to
drama.ze the estrangement between the central characters.
In this case, metadiscourse takes the form of “saying what you’re going to say.” It’s totally
unnecessary here—it’s bePer to simply make your claim. Also note that, while the first-person
“I” can some:mes be effec:ve in academic wri:ng, I strongly suggest you avoid it for the papers
in this class, especially in situa:ons like the example above, where the author is unnecessarily
narra:ng what they’re doing in the paper.
For more informa.on about the thesis, see pp. 2002-2004 of your textbook.

| This module’s assigned reading by Bush and Matthews explores the distribution of federal funding for reintegration programs across the nation. Criminal justice professionals agree that more than one approach is necessary to address the emerging needs of the prison population. The assigned reading also explores the most prevalent recidivism reduction strategies in the U.S. <br>Law enforcement officers play a vital role in the process of reintegration. Their roles include relationship building in the community. To build trust within communities' law enforcement agencies, law enforcement professionals must maintain integrity, honesty, ethical conduct, and conduct police work unbiasedly. Bush and Matthews (2023) describe five strategies essential to building trusting collaborative relationships between law enforcement and the community. <br>Please review these strategies and create an action plan based on these strategies. The action plan can be geared towards the community or within a criminal justice institution. The action plan should be in a narrative format. You will list the strategy and follow the list with an explanation of how you would implement it in the setting you chose. Discuss and use at least two of the strategies, explain the logic used to determine why the strategies are important, and then summarize how to implement an action plan. <br>Length: 5-7 pages, not including title and reference pages <br>References: Support your assignment with at least 2 scholarly resources. <br>The completed assignment should address all the assignment requirements, exhibit evidence of concept knowledge, and demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the content presented in the course. The writing should integrate scholarly resources, reflect academic expectations, and current APA standards. <br>When applicable, <br>**conduct a Turnitin pre-check** and then upload your completed assignment and click the Submit to Dropbox button. |

| People of color include Hispanics/Latinos, African Americans, Asians, Native Americans, Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders, and those of two or more races. The 2020 Census revealed that most Americans are White Americans at 61.6%, Black Americans at 14.4%, and Hispanics or Latinos at 11.2% based on population (Census, 2020). By 2022, the Hispanic population of the US rose to 19.1% making it the largest non-Caucasian racial or ethnic group based on population. <br>Scholars have found that some racial and ethnic people of color, particularly Black Americans, are disproportionately represented in the arrest and victimization reports which are used to compile crime rate statistics in the U. S. <br>Review the article Three Strikes Law found within your required resources in your course libguide. <br>Prepare a brief paper using 12-point font in Times New Roman and answer two of the following three questions: <br>Be sure to focus on the disproportionate representation of people of color in arrest and victimization reports in your responses: <br>1. Describe your thoughts on legislation and law enforcement strategies like the Three Strikes Law that have had a disparate impact on ethnic or racial non-Caucasian groups. <br>2. Examine the impact of social and economic disempowerment of people of color resulting from discrimination in society at large. <br>3. Explore the impact of not being able to afford bail or hire a lawyer. <br>Length: 2-3 pages, not including title and reference pages <br>References: Support your assignment with at least 3 scholarly resources. <br>The completed assignment should address all the assignment requirements, exhibit evidence of concept knowledge, and demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the content presented in the course.

| Read the article entitled, Federal criminal sentencing: Race-based disparate impact and differential treatment in judicial districts, included in this Module’s resources in your course Libguide. <br>The Supreme Court case United States v. Booker, in which the Supreme Court held that mandatory guidelines for sentencing violated the Sixth Amendment, changed the way jurists sentenced offenders. As a result of Booker, the prior practice of using strict sentencing guidelines was changed to being at the court's discretion. <br>Reflect and examine the statement, ‘The federal government analyzes over one-half million sentencing records publicly available from the United States Sentencing Commission database, spanning the years 2006 to 2020. At the system-wide level, Black and Hispanic defendants receive average sentences that are approximately 19 months (about 1 and a half years) longer and 5 months longer, than whites” (Topaz et al., 2023, p. 1). <br>Prepare a reflective paper that includes the following: <br>· Discuss your thoughts on the Booker decision's impact, in your opinion, on racial biases in sentencing practices. <br>· What are your thoughts on eliminating restrictions on sentencing and the court using its discretion? <br>· Should there be additional oversight to ensure racial biases do not become prevalent? <br>· Given the knowledge of the disparity in sentencing practices, what are your thoughts? What additional questions or comments do you have on sentencing practices in America? <br>Length: 2-4 pages, not including title and reference pages <br>References: Support your assignment with at least 2 scholarly resources. <br>The completed assignment should address all the assignment requirements, exhibit evidence of concept knowledge, and demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the content presented in the course.

LIT 100 Introduc.on to Literature
Thesis Examples for Literary Analysis
The thesis is the controlling idea or central, unifying claim of a literary essay. To put it differently,
it’s a strong statement of an argument that you’ll be elabora:ng and suppor:ng throughout the
paper. A thesis must be analy:cal, rather than merely descrip:ve. In other words, you must
make a non-obvious, interpre:ve claim about the text(s) you’re analyzing. More simply, the
thesis should make a point that a casual reader (or viewer of a film) would not immediately get.
Here’s a statement that would NOT work as a thesis:
This essay will contrast the use of point of view in Joyce’s “Araby” and Hemingway’s “Hills Like
White Elephants” and show how each contributes to the meaning of the stories.
Note that this statement doesn’t really make a claim about the text. It’s simply sta:ng what the
author is intending to do in the essay. That doesn’t work for this assignment. A stronger thesis
would make a concrete claim about how the text creates meaning. Here’s another example that
doesn’t quite work:
In “Araby,” Joyce uses the first-person perspec.ve of a young boy, while in “Hills Like White
Elephants” Hemingway employs a third person perspec.ve to tell the story of an estranged
couple.
This is a factually true statement about the stories. But it’s not arguable. A good thesis must be
arguable in two senses. First, it must be a claim that someone could disagree with. Secondly,
and perhaps more importantly, an analy:cal thesis is a claim that requires support—in the form
of arguments you will make in the paper. It’s something you wouldn’t expect an engaged reader
to accept without evidence. Here’s a bePer example that makes an insighQul, analy:cal point:
In Joyce’s “Araby” and Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants,” the authors use point of
view to heighten the impact of the stories. In “Araby,” the first-person narra.on helps Joyce
convey the young boy’s shame and anguish, while the detached third-person narra.on in
“Hills Like White Elephants” allows Hemingway to drama.ze the estrangement between the
central characters.
This claim is arguable—you’ll need to work (by providing concrete evidence from the text) to
get your readers to agree. When devising a thesis, you should also strive to tell your audience
why your claim maPers. In other words, what does it all add up to? Why is it interes:ng?
Looking at the example above, it’s all well and good to say that the authors use different points
of view. But making a claim about the effect of these choices—what larger meaning these
things create—makes the thesis much stronger. (Note that the thesis in this example is two
sentences; that’s not a problem.)
In addi:on, avoid unnecessary metadiscourse. In your thesis, you should make a claim about
the text (or film) directly. This problem is evident in the first example above. Here’s another
example of unnecessary metadiscourse (underlined):
LIT 100 Introduc.on to Literature
In this paper, I will argue that in Joyce’s “Araby” and Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants”
the authors use point of view to heighten the impact of the stories. In “Araby,” the first-
person narra.on helps Joyce convey the young boy’s shame and anguished, while the
detached third-person narra.on in “Hills Like White Elephants” allows Hemingway to
drama.ze the estrangement between the central characters.
In this case, metadiscourse takes the form of “saying what you’re going to say.” It’s totally
unnecessary here—it’s bePer to simply make your claim. Also note that, while the first-person
“I” can some:mes be effec:ve in academic wri:ng, I strongly suggest you avoid it for the papers
in this class, especially in situa:ons like the example above, where the author is unnecessarily
narra:ng what they’re doing in the paper.
For more informa.on about the thesis, see pp. 2002-2004 of your textbook.
