Competency

In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competency:

• Analyze the impact of court decisions on criminal justice policy and professional practice

Scenario

These professionals have a background in criminal justice practices, but they lack knowledge of specific U.S. criminal justice practices and need instruction in how specific U.S. Supreme Court cases dictate the actions of professionals in police, courts, and corrections. You have been asked to create materials that will be included in a handbook these professionals will use as a part of their onboarding.
