The Adequacy of the Criminal Justice System

The Adequacy of the Criminal Justice System

One of the more interesting aspects of studying political science is examining public policies to learn how and whether they work to achieve the goals that gave rise to them. Public interests are not well-served if public policies fail to respond adequately.

Relevant to the study of Texas government and politics are policies that address crime and punishment given that a sizable chunk of the state’s budget is allocated in this policy area. With an annual budget in excess of $3 billion, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice oversees a vast network of correctional facilities and expenses. Chapter 12 of the textbook describes criminal justice in Texas, and this information will help you understand the importance of this policy area.

Criminal justice reform has been a hot topic nationally and in Texas for several years, as you are learning. Disparities in sentencing, and overcrowded and violent jails and prisons prompted reforms here in Texas in the early 2000s. Recently, however, bail procedures, death penalty laws, and drug policies have placed criminal justice reform back on Texas’s policy agenda. For more information about the backdrop of criminal justice reform generally, please review:

Health Care Organizations in U.S.

Health Care Organizations in U.S.

Conduct a research on one of the top fifteen health care organizations in the U.S.

Your research should include the following questions:

  • How will you find listings of the top fifteen health care systems?
  • What are the various components of the selected health care system? How does it rank in terms of reduced mortality and infection rates?
  • What are the services provided by the healthcare delivery system?
  • What are the current trends contributing to the high ranking and the future path of this health care organization?
  • How does the organization manage and distribute resources for improved patient care?

In a Microsoft Word document, create a 2- to 3-page report, on the basis of your research. Provide at least two resources or journal articles referring to the selected organization.

Support your responses with examples.

Cite any sources in APA format.

How energy flow through an ecosystem

We all live in an ecosystem; a community of both living organisms and non-living elements interacting with each other. Humans have commonality with the other organisms in an ecosystem as we are composed of cells, cycle nutrients, get rid of waste and reproduce. But does the human body have similarities with an overall ecosystem?

Respond to the five topics below for this unit’s Discussion. Then, throughout the week, review your classmates’ posts and comment as appropriate on at least two other posts per the Discussion Guidelines.

  1. How does energy flow through an ecosystem? What is a producer, a consumer (primary and secondary) and a decomposer?
  2. How is the human body similar to an ecosystem? Provide a description of two ways in which the human body is similar to an ecosystem.
  3. Select two of the organ systems in the human body and describe their function. What role(s) do they play in maintaining the environment of the human body?
  4. Humans are consumers in the ecosystem. As part of our evolution, we have developed and urbanized many parts of the world affecting the habitat of other species. Select a city or town in the United States that has become urbanized and postulate or provide a supported example of how another species have adapted to the urban environment.
  5. Do you think that humans have a responsibility to protect the habitats of other species? What efforts do you recommend?

weight loss diet

Choose a popular weight loss diet that you are interested in evaluating.

Research the diet and learn about the philosophy and nutritional requirements. Analyze the nutritional value of the diet and write a review. Your review should include:

  • A description of each macromolecule
  • An analysis of the protein, carbohydrate, and fat content of the diet
  • An explanation of how the diet leads to weight loss
  • An evaluation of the diet’s effect on the body
  • A comprehensive review of the diet including your recommendation

Your two- to three-page evaluation should take the form of a well-researched and well-sourced essay in current APA Style. Be sure to include a reference list in current APA Style of all of the sources used. Your review should be guided by the research, but it should be your own work.
