This week’s discussion assignment is about the Diversity in Criminal Justice System. You must write at least a minimum of 500-word count for the total assignment, usein-text citations, and use three scholarly sources. Be sure to incorporate relevant scholarly research in the body of your response, and to fully cite your sources after your content. APA citation rules must be followed. You may use your textbook as a source for this assignment. All research sources must be current (generally that means published within the past 10 years).
Make sure to follow instructions and answer each part of the question completely, failure to do so will result in a 10-point reduction per question. I will check the word count for each question and deduct an additional 10 points if the explanation/answer does not meet the minimum requirements stated above. Encyclopedias and Dictionaries are not appropriate research sources at this level. No Wikipedia! Do not self-plagiarize from previous assignments!
