Keondra Kalpen CJ-520-Q1063 Criminology and Public Policy 7-2 Final Project Milestone Three: Public Needs and Policy Recommendations I. Needs: Now that you have analyzed the relevant state or federal policies and selected a related criminological theory, you will focus your analysis on your selected departmental policy. In relation to the departmental policy, you will identify the needs of the public and the relevant branch of the criminal justice system and assess the extent to which the policy currently addresses these needs. Specifically: A. Identify specific needs of the public and the relevant branch of the criminal justice system at the center of the departmental policy, justifying your identifications. When it comes to identifying the specific needs of the public and the relative branch of the criminal justice system at the center of the departmental policy, the branch of the criminal justice system in my policy is law enforcement mostly. The department of policy that I chose was identifying the gender bias inside law enforcement as well as improving their response to sexual assault and domestic violence. When it comes to the needs of the public, I can say that it would improve victims reporting their incidents if they were not judged when it comes to their gender and that situation happening to them. They need a safe space and guarantee confidence to report and go through the process without being judged by those in charge there are to offer protection.

B. To what extent does the departmental policy address these specific needs? The extent to which the departmental policy addresses these specific needs has changed recently because there has been and update when it comes to guidance on improving the way law enforcement responds to domestic violence and sexual assault as well as being able to better identify gender bias in law enforcement. II. Policy Recommendations: In this section, you will provide specific recommendations to the existing departmental public policy to improve the delivery of criminal justice services, justifying your recommendations, and examining the impact of the recommendations on the public and specific branch of the criminal justice system. Be sure to: a. Outline the specific aspects of the departmental policy you are targeting for your recommendations, justifying your selections. What specific aspects of the departmental policy need improving and why? The specific aspect of my departmental policy which is identifying gender bias as well as improving law enforcement response to sexual assault and domestic violence that I am targeting as well as my reasoning behind why this needs improvement would be how those particular cases are handled or mishandled rather because of gender. Certain genders particularly males seem to be judged harder when it comes to sexual assault cases as well as domestic violence cases. When it comes to females there is just a whole other rabbit hole to go down because they are looked upon as if they were asking for it. When it comes to those that identify as a different gender than what they were born or even those who are attracted to the same sex are also judged when it comes to reporting

on those types of incidents as if again, they are the reason that it happened to them. So, implementing changes such as improving gender bias in law enforcement and how we identify would help tremendously when it comes to getting reports in on these cases as well as improving the response to those cases and how they are handled. They should be more professional and non-judgmental because those types of incidents can happen to anyone. And again, in order to help take those attackers off of this street providing this improvement in this particular case would give those victims the confidence to report those incidents and give them the confidence as well to go through the process with the criminal justice system. b. What specific recommendations do you have to improve the existing departmental policy? Specific recommendations that I have to improve my existing department of policy would be to offer a safe space to those victims and offer better training to those in law enforcement to be better acclimated to handling those situations more professionally without judging those victims and going into these cases with the different mindset that will enable them to again better handle the case as well as giving the victim's confidence to report what had happened to them and to really show them that there is a support system for them as well as resources for everything that they have experienced. Making sure that they realize that law enforcement is on their side and is therefore their protection.

c. Justify how the recommendations will improve the delivery of criminal justice services. Provide specific examples. The recommendations that are stated above will improve the delivery of criminal justice services because it will offer those victims an again safe space and provide them with guidance on reporting their incidents when it comes to sexual assault and domestic violence. They will have more confidence in law enforcement and trust law enforcement to handle their cases thus improving on the cases that go unreported to start being reported. Because the victims will then feel like that, they have law enforcement to back them up when they come forth. d. How does criminological theory support your recommendations? How do the recommendations support the public’s needs? Consider how theory justifies the appropriateness of the recommendations for the departmental policy. When it comes to the criminological theory and how it supports my recommendations the theory that I have chosen for my departmental policy was rational choice theory. I said this because when it comes to that theory the person that commits the crime has outweighed the options and has assessed all the risk and chooses to commit the crime anyway. So, when it comes to the victim part of this theory, they are the downfall of those consequences of the attacker. They are left with dealing with the actions of the attacker. And are just a part of the outcome of the risks that were assessed during this incident. So when it comes to how my recommendations support the needs of the public when it comes to law enforcement not being judgmental in actually putting forth the effort to get these victims to come forth and report the incidents and actually protect them this will

again as I stated before give them the confidence to report these incidents and get the resources and protection that they need to go through with the process in the criminal justice system. e. What are the potential impacts of the departmental policy recommendations on the public and the relevant branch of the criminal justice system? Provide specific examples. If the potential impacts are negative, how might you alter your recommendations? When it comes to the potential impacts of the departmental policy recommendations on the public and the relevant branch of criminal justice system, I can say that the public will better trust law enforcement when it comes to handling cases that involve sexual assault and domestic violence without judging or implementing that gender bias that again we are trying to improve on. It will help them go through the process of reporting on coming forth with everything that happened to them because they will feel like they are protected by law enforcement thus improving the relationship that law enforcement has with the public especially when it comes to those particular cases. So really there are no negative outcomes unless we redact everything that we're trying to improve on. f. How does your assessment of the potential impacts inform your departmental policy implementation? For example, how can you capitalize on positive reactions in the implementation of the departmental policy? How might you create buy-in where there is possible conflict?

When it comes on how I can capitalize on positive reactions in the implementation of the departmental policy I can say that again it will improve the relationship the public has with law enforcement when it comes to reporting sexual assaults and domestic violence cases. It will show that law enforcement can handle those cases professionally without implementing gender bias and judging the victims. It will really help in law enforcement and even in the criminal justice system because we will be able to better assist the victims when it comes to these cases. When it comes to them reporting these cases, we are able to get those that are out there on the streets carrying out these attacks and preventing them from happening to someone else. Thus, stopping other people from becoming victims themselves.
