you are taking classes to learn about your major course of study as preparation to enter your future career. As you progress in your major you probably read about incidents in print/online newspapers or magazines, and sometimes these incidents make you question decisions/policies within your future industry. When you learn about these incidents you think to yourself: "this could have been prevented", "it could have been handled better", "why don't they develop a policy to prevent this from happening?", "isn't there a more efficient way to handle this?" - the list of questions is endless.
For example, as a criminal justice major you may have read articles about domestic violence victims who refuse to press charges against his/her abuser and then are murdered. Maybe you thought to yourself: "why wasn't the abuser arrested even though the victim didn't want to press charges"? Your thought process actually questions police policy.

- In order to begin the project, this week you will locate newspaper/magazine articles etc. via the Internet about a recent incident or controversial issue in your major course of study.
- Next you will write the outline of the recommendation report AND identify the issue the incident raises about your industry (employee turnover, police brutality, nurse staffing levels, etc). *You should use the sample recommendation report I have provided. Fill in as much information as you can. If you do not have all of the information you can put N/A. However, please make sure all of the headings are there.
