A police chief has hired you to conduct an applied research study on police officers’ attitudes and perceptions in a particular jurisdiction. Specifically, the chief is concerned that the morale (i.e., satisfaction, confidence, enthusiasm) among his police officers is poor. However, he needs to collect the information necessary in order to show city-council officials that this is indeed a problem that needs to be addressed with more resources, additional personnel, and/or better equipment. 

The chief has asked that you write a memorandum to him in which you address the following:

 

1. Begin the process of outlining a plan for studying officer morale in the police chief’s department by drafting a research hypothesis about the relationship between officer morale and resources, personnel, and/or equipment.

2. Define conceptualization and operationalization.

3. Identify the primary concept of your proposed study (i.e., the primary dependent variable), and provide both a conceptual definition and an operational definition of this concept.

4. Create a survey instrument with at least five questions designed to measure the study concepts (for both the dependent and independent variables), and provide the information needed to evaluate the research hypothesis developed in Item 3 above.

The concept of leadership as a “vocation” greatly distinguishes leadership from a job, career, or what one simply does for a living. A vocation can be thought of as one’s calling. Vocation is often associated with the clergy or missionaries who feel called by a higher power to fulfill a specific purpose. Vocation is also a concept associated with careers like teachers, emergency responders, doctors, or other health care professionals who feel strongly compelled to dedicate their own lives to improving the lives of those whom they serve. Consider your own view of leadership. How does understanding leadership as a vocation inform your understanding of the personal and moral commitments required of leaders? If leadership is not a job, but a calling, what responsibilities do leaders have towards their position, their organization, and their followers?

Hi all — Following is an Ethics case that we didn’t get a chance to discuss earlier in the semester.  It’s not only about Ethics, but about Critical Thinking.

When solving an Ethics dilemma, it’s important to think about each of the stakeholders (the individuals or groups impacted) and ask questions that will uncover how the decision related to them and their needs.   Read the case and think about  the following:

1. Who are the stakeholders in this case? Identify at least two. Obviously this will be repeated, but try to  look for additional stakeholders from the ones your fellow students identify.

2. What do you think are the most important questions or factors that need to be considered in order to determine the appropriate ruling for Doris.  The questions should be related to Doris as well as other stakeholders.

3. What penalty, if any, should be in Doris’ future.

Here’s the case:

Crime and Punishment

In 1974, at the age of 19, Doris Drugdealer was arrested for selling $200 worth of heroin to an undercover police officer in Michigan.  She received a 10-20 year prison sentence for this crime.  After serving about 8 months of her sentence, she decided that she could not tolerate prison and with the help of her grandfather, plotted an escape.  She used a work pass to walk away from prison.  In May, 2008, after 34 years, Doris was captured again by detectives who matched  fingerprints from her driver’s license to her prison records. 

Doris said that in 1974 she was a “stupid little …hippie-ish girl…a pothead.”  During the 34 years that Doris evaded prison, she worried everyday that she would be caught.  While looking at a sunset, she would marvel at her freedom and wonder if the past would catch up with her.  She was very careful to lead the life of a model citizen and even volunteered for Common Cause, an organization that promotes government ethics and accountability. She married an executive and had three children and lived a comfortable life in an upper middle class neighborhood in California.  She never told her family about her past.  Her husband of 23 years stated that he loved his wife as much as the day they were married and that she was a “person of the highest integrity and compassion” and had dedicated her life to raising her children.  She taught her children to be responsible citizens and to avoid drugs.  Her husband said that the arrest “was the next worst thing to having a death in the family.”  Doris worried about the effect of her arrest on her son who had just graduated from high school and her older daughters.  A neighbor commented that it would not be useful to society to send Doris back to prison.  

Undercover drug officers believed that Doris had connections to “higher ups” in the drug world and was a teenage leader in a 1070’s drug ring.  They found $600 in her apartment, paraphernalia for cutting heroin and pictures of her with other drug dealers.  Doris described herself as a recent high school graduate who was strapped for cash, working at a minimum wage job and driving a $400 car.  She said that every day of her life she regretted getting herself into this situation.  She was extradited back to Michigan to serve her original prison term.  Her family and friends submitted a plea for clemency to the governor of Michigan.  Should the governor grant her clemency? 

Use your critical thinking to analyze this situation.

Comparison and Contrast Writing Assignment Instructions

Comparison and Contrast Essay Writing Assignment

A comparison shows how two or more things are similar, and contrast shows how they are different. Before you can compare and contrast two things, you must be sure a basis for comparison exists–that the two things have enough in common to justify the comparison. A comparison should lead you beyond the obvious. However, when two things are very similar, the contrast maybe worth writing about. When two subjects are not much alike, you may find that the similarities are worth considering.
