Some things are caused by other things. Talking about cause and effect and with respect to nomothetic explanation, what are the three specific criteria or conditions for causality? In order words, what conditions must exist before you can conclude that A “causes” B? Please discuss each of the three criterion in detail.
Distinguish between necessary and sufficient causes. What do you understand by “Reductionism” and “Correlation”?

Discuss the ways in which certain ‘communities’ (be they communities of people or geographic communities – or both) are criminalized and subsequently represented in the mass media and public imagination. Your task in this essay is to review select literature, take a position and link it to the course material using examples from Toronto/Canada and Toronto/Canadian media coverage to illustrate your arguments.

The criminal justice field has many different career paths, positions, and departments and agencies. Some of the departments and agencies include the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), National Institute of Justice (NIJ), and the National Institute of Corrections (NIC).
Research 2 agencies, departments, or bureaus that function in the field of criminal justice.
Select 1 position within each agency, department, or bureau that you selected so that you have 2 total roles selected.
Write a 700- to 1,050-word summary in which you address the following questions:
What are the duties of the 2 roles you selected? Provide examples.
How may vagueness, ambiguity, and generalities impact the effectiveness of the selected roles? Provide an example for each role.
How is credibility necessary in the 2 roles you selected? Include examples to explain ways credibility can affect someone in each of these roles.
How do individuals in the 2 selected roles use critical thinking? Provide situational examples.
Develop a research question in Criminal Justice. Using this, propose the null and research hypothesis. Discuss the sample, and all the components of your research. Discuss how you would test it and why you would use that test. Discuss the issues you might find with the research.

After reading the articles on “Foot Patrol,” think about and be prepared to share your thoughts on foot patrol in the class discussion. The questions listed below are designed to guide your thoughts on foot patrol as a forgotten method of providing police services.
Questions are as follow:
1. Does foot patrol has a place in contemporary policing? Why or why not?
2. Does foot patrol improves community/police relations?
Within criminal justice, researchers are often faced with a plethora of anecdotal data with little empirical support for such assertions. We have all, no doubt, heard anecdotes pertaining to gang initiation rites, killers stalking baby sitters, or corpses discovered rolled in carpets by hapless hotel maids. Criminal justice researchers depend primarily upon empirical data as the most useful tools with which to explore the nuances of the issues plaguing society. However, one can always ponder the usefulness of anecdotal data. In contemporary research, there has yet to be a consensus pertaining to the proper place and function of anecdotal data. Jacques (2014) discusses both quantitative and qualitative research methods. After reading the article and Chapter 1 in your primary text, respond fully to the following questions:
How would you explain the differences between the use of empirical research data from that of anecdotal data?
How do these differences inform how criminal justice data might be evaluated and interpreted in published research findings?
Is there a place in formal research for anecdotal data?
