Project Examples
For this course junior- and senior-level undergraduate students are required to work in pairs to develop a literature review on a specific criminal justice practice, program, or policy and make a determination about its effectiveness or lack thereof based on existing scientific evidence. Topics are selected by the students but may also be chosen in collaboration with your organization. Agencies looking to discover new solutions to existing problems may find a literature review of a particular solution helpful in larger strategic planning efforts. It may also be beneficial for agencies looking to review the latest evidence on the efficacy of their current practices, programs, or policies more broadly.
This project consists of multiple phases of review and monitoring by the instructor, student peer review, and will result in the following end products:
- 5-10 page program/practice/policy review report/manuscript
- PPT presentation and 10-15 minute presentation recording
- Poster and live online presence/presentation at the UNDergraduate Showcase
Companies must answer the following questions to submit a match request to this experience:
Be available for a quick phone/virtual call with the instructor to initiate your relationship and confirm your scope is an appropriate fit for the experience.
Provide a dedicated contact person who is available for monthly drop-ins to address learners’ questions as well as periodic messages over the duration of the project.
How is your project interest relevant to the experience? What practices, programs, or policies may be of interest?
