The first article on the Week 2 Learning Resources page is “Evaluating Multi-Agency Anti-Crime Partnerships:
Theory, Design and Measurement Issues”.
Each of your assignments this session are centered around this mindset as each of you represent one facet of “crime fighting” in the scenario about the Virtual Criminal Justice Agency. The police can’t do it alone, nor can the courts, nor the corrections world, etc. It does take a team effort to fight crime and as you might imagine. Collaboration does not work very effectively in many locales (politics, lack of effort, turf protection, etc.).
After reading this article provide your response to the following questions:
a. What is the most significant thing you have learned in your review of the article regarding collaborative team work in criminal justice?
b. How do you plan to use what you’ve learned in this article to deal with the VBBC in the role you have been assigned to play in the assignments?
