topic: community support (1-2 final project attached with more info)
department : https://www.jaxsheriff.org/
I. Overview of Community and Need: This section should serve as the foundation for presenting your agency needs assessment; it is your opportunity to comprehensively describe the selected agency and its identified need. Overall, it is important to include any information that is pertinent for comprehending the agency and need. It is up to you to establish a robust context for understanding and responding to the agency’s need. II. Communication with the Agency: This section should include a summary of your research in addition to any correspondence between you and your selected agency that has occurred up to this point in the term. This will include the agency’s description of its need and why it is a need, as well as the research you conducted with the agency to obtain additional information about the need, such as why the need is present and what resources were previously used to attempt to address the need. While conducting interviews with the agency, use the interview consent form provided in the course materials. Remember: If you are not able to get in contact with an agency, you may use the agency’s website and the agency‘s mission and vision for the foundation of your project. III. Gathering Community Information (Methodology): Your methodology for this project is a brief systematic literature review. In this section, discuss how you collected your information and provide justification for your chosen method(s). Describe step-by-step for the reader how you conducted your brief systematic literature review so that the reader could follow your methods if they wanted to replicate the study. IV. Literature Review: Using primary and secondary sources, provide a brief review of the literature and an evaluative review of the topic. What does the literature say about the topic, and how will you utilize this information? Through a review of the literature, your evaluation should include but not be limited to the relationship of the following to your topic: A. The application of criminological theories B. Ethical impact C. The impact of the organizational culture D. The impact of technologies E. Previously attempted interventions in other agencies around this issue and their success (or lack thereof) V. Need Analysis: This section should include your analysis of the data you gathered on the agency need. This will provide your conclusions drawn from the raw data you described in the preceding section. Referring to your assessment of the agency and comprehensive analysis and evaluation of the problem, address the following: A. What is the magnitude of the problem in the agency? B. What resources and interventions currently exist in the agency? C. Provide a description of the impact the current resources and interventions are having on the agency. Are they effective? Why or why not? D. What obstacles exist in the agency that prevent impacting or addressing the problem?
Overview: In Milestone One, you selected an agency and developed an issue statement regarding a need of that agency. In this milestone, you will incorporate
your Milestone One work into the “Overview of Community and Need” section and then research the need described in your issue statement and produce a
literature review that lists the resources you consulted. There will be research to be performed for this milestone. This will be the second of three milestones that
lead to a successful capstone completion. Once you have researched, identified, and located the articles for your literature review, you need to analyze them and
organize them before you begin working on your outline. You should organize these articles to best help you formulate evidence-based recommendations that
will make a positive difference in the agency. SNHU’s Shapiro Library should be used to assist in your research.
Prompt: You will submit your agency needs assessment, which includes a literature review with a brief synopsis of each resource you plan to use for the findings
and recommendations report. You should use both primary and secondary sources, evaluate how these sources relate to your issue, develop criminological
theories, discuss any ethical impact, describe any technological impact, and provide a review of the literature on the issue. Your findings and recommendations
report (Milestone Three) will include the statement of need, program recommendations, goals and objectives, staffing/administration/resource needs, and
evaluation plan. Remember to consult the Capstone Project Template for more guidance on the components of your capstone project.
Make sure to include the following in your paper:

1-2 Final Project Milestone One: Agency Selection and Issue Statement
Point of Contact:
J.L Butler 66197
Auto Crimes Detective
Jacksonville Sheriffs’ Office
Topic:
Community Support
I selected the local Sheriffs’ office in Jacksonville, FL for this capstone project. The issue that JSO is experiencing the most is simply Community Support. When I asked Officer Butler what she thought their biggest issue was, I wasn’t expecting her to say that. However, I wasn’t surprised. When people found out I was moving to Jacksonville, FL to potentially further my career, they were not happy. The feedback mostly came from the people in the area or locals, that are familiar with JSO. The remarks were all along the lines of “don’t work there” “all they want to do is kill us off not help us”. I was so shocked, but I became determined. I want to figure out why everyone is so against Jacksonville Sheriffs’ Office, and this capstone project will give me that opportunity.
In 2019, Jacksonville, FL had a population of 912k people with a median age of 36.1 and a median household income of $56,975. Between 2018 and 2019 the population of Jacksonville, FL grew from 903,896 to 911,528, a 0.844% increase and its median household income grew from $54,269 to $56,975, a 4.99% increase.
With a crime rate of 40 per one thousand residents, Jacksonville has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes – from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. The crime varies – from gang related murders to traffic crimes and being in the wrong place and, wrong time. “The areas that you see that are somewhat impoverished or is poverty stricken is where you’re going to see most of your violent crime,” Jefferson said. Those places are often part of the problem when it comes to community support. People are so against JSO because they feel like they are “attacking” them or coming for them as black people. I hate that they have such a bad stigma because when something happens, are you not going to call the police simply because you don’t like them?
This issue goes so much deeper because Officers can’t even have their patrol car parked in the driveway if they live in certain areas. It makes them a target for attacks and petty neighborhood issues. I want to dig deeper into this and figure out why it’s happening in the community, and what we can do to help.

Purdue OWL: General Format
·
HSE 480 Final Project
Add a few introductory sentences.
Overview of Community and Problem
Select a community agency in collaboration with your instructor. Find data about the community (income, age, race, ethnicity, religion, unemployment rate, crime data etc.) and a problem in that community (find data to show it is a problem) that was selected by the agency. Your review of the community should be more in-depth. You should present data you found online or through credible sources but not data you gathered from the agency itself (that is the next section).
Communication with the Agency
Summarize information gathered from the agency. You can interview your contact person from the agency and any other employees they suggest you interview. The interviews can be conducted through email, phone or in-person if you so choose. DO NOT INTERVIEW clients of the agency. You might consider asking someone from the agency what they have done to try and address the issue in the past and include that information here. What has worked? What has not worked? What resources do they have to address the issue? What obstacles have they faced in addressing the issue? If you are unable to contact an agency, please briefly describe your attempts to do so here.
Gathering Community Information – Methodology
Your methodology is a brief systematic literature review. Make sure to use search words to match information mentioned below in the “Literature Review” section. Your methodology section should be structured as follows:
A brief systematic literature review was conducted to identify methods of meeting the identified community need. The research method was chosen to accommodate a limited period to conduct, compile and submit the research as well as having limited access to public statistical data.
First, a search of the Southern New Hampshire University’s Shapiro Library Databases EBSCO, McGraw Hill, Proquest, and SAGE were utilized using the search terms listed above. These database search was limited in content to academic journals, reports, primary source documents, and electronic sources.
Second, the Internet was searched for websites that end in .gov, .org, and .edu relating to the identified need. Search terms used included: theories of behavior, biological, sociological or psychological factors, ethical dilemmas, ethical strategies, criminal laws, scientific method, organizational culture, leadership strategies, community relations issues, technologies, and globalization.
Third, to ensure all data is current with local trends and statistics, all reviewed literature that was retrieved through Internet was included if it was published in or after 2007 and had a .gov, .org, or .edu URL. All reviewed literature that was retrieved through SNHU’s Shapiro Library Database was included if the publication date was on or after 2007. Literature that was rejected included only foreign publications concerning other countries, and publications before 2007.
Fourth, the literature was collected and organized in different folders pertaining to the specific sections of the literature review. Next, relevant information and data were highlighted and recorded on electronic notecards to organize the information.
Literature Review
Consult the
Purdue OWL page on how to write a literature review
. Use articles from databases and online sources (.edu, .org or .gov sites). The literature should address: What theories that help understand the issue and related human behavior? What biological, sociological or psychological factors impact the need? What ethical dilemmas arise in meeting or not meeting this identified issue? What ethical strategies should be used to address the issue? What criminal laws may apply to the identified issue? How could the scientific method be used to evaluate the need and address the identified issue? How does organizational culture at the agency impact the issue itself or the agency’s ability to address the issue? What leadership strategies might help in addressing the identified issue? How does addressing a community need impact community relations for the agency? What technologies, or emerging technologies, should be considered for use in addressing the identified issue? What impact has the globalization of crime had on the issue or the ability of the agency to address the issue? What are other agencies in other states doing to address the issue that is working? (This is your opportunity to find and describe evidence-based solutions to the identified community problem-from these solutions you will pick one and propose it to the agency in the next section of your Capstone. The solution could be an evidence-based program OR practice. Research must show it has worked in a similar setting). Note that bolded words can be found in the grading rubric for the Capstone project so please use these words in your paper.
Needs Analysis
Now analyze the information (summarize “findings”) you collected and provided in your overview of the community and the literature review section. Answer the questions: 1) How prevalent is the problem in the community? Who is affected by the problem (demographic data)? 2) What has the agency done to try and address the issue? 3) What obstacles do the agency and community face in addressing the problem (e.g. human behavior, ethical dilemmas, biological, sociological or psychological factors, laws)? What are other communities doing to address the issue that is working?
Criminal Justice Findings and Recommendations Report
Statement of Need
In a few sentences describe the problem in the community. You can repeat information from the “Needs Analysis” section but make it brief.
Program Recommendation
Pick one of the evidence-based programs or practices you found in your literature review that you think the agency could use to address the issue. Describe the program or practice in more detail.
Now answer: Why is it a good “fit” with the community? What theories support this evidence-based program or practice? What biological, sociological or psychological factors are addressed by this program or practice? What ethical dilemmas can you prevent upon implementation? What criminal laws should be considered when implementing this program or practice? What key leadership strategies will you use to implement this program or practice? How will you consider the organizational culture when implementing this program or practice? How will the implementation of this program or practice impact community relations? How will current technologies be used in this program or practice? If none, why not? How do global (national or international) issues impact the implementation of this program or practice?
Goals and Objectives
See sample Logic Model in Appendix A. Fill out the Logic Model with your project information, then write a few sentences summarizing those goals and objectives here and refer reader to Appendix A.
Staffing/Administration/Resources Needed
