Criminal Justice Articles Paper
You are to find 3-4 events that involve policing and the criminal justice system in some way. You can choose a story that deals with the current events dealing with the criminal justice system. There will be a set of questions to answer about each event; you will need to answer them completely for each story AND include either a copy of the story or the link to it, if it is an online story.
