A Critical Thinking Writing Assignment will be required for this course. Research both sides of a current, controversial issue related to criminal justice (i.e., Hate Crime Laws, Gun Rights vs. Gun Control, The Death Penalty, etc.). There are also many good topics/stories to write from in the “Exploring the Police” textbook. Write a 3 page essay expressing your evaluation of the issue and support your opinion by answering the following questions: What are the sources of information you used to evaluate the topic? What does your common sense, intuition, experience and education tell you about this information? What sources can be believed? Where are the best sources of information? Can the information be verified? What information should be discarded? What assumptions have you made (outside of the research information evaluated)? Are those assumptions valid? Do you need to investigate more facts and data? Does the conclusion you came to make sense? Does the information researched and your assumptions support the conclusion? If so, why? If not, why not? Did you ask the right questions? Did you ask enough questions? Was there more than one possible conclusion? If so, did you pick the right one from the facts and data?
