MASTER of HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ChildSafe Evaluation Plan Law enforcement employs many different crime prevention strategies. One such program is “Project ChildSafe.” This is a nationwide firearm safety education program. Below is a brief description of the program:. Project ChildSafe is a nationwide firearm safety education program that teaches firearm owners how to properly store and safely handle their weapons. Accidental firearm-related injuries and deaths in the home, particularly those that involve children and teenagers, can be reduced when firearm owners fully understand their responsibilities. To educate gun owners, Project ChildSafe distributes firearm safety kits containing gunlock and safety information. The project also helps local law enforcement agencies schedule firearm safety events in their communities. Firearms accidents in the home can result from an unauthorized individual, often a child, finding a loaded and unsecured firearm in the home. The risk of firearms-related unintentional injuries or deaths can be reduced when firearms owners are aware of and fully understand their responsibility to handle firearms safely and store them in a secure manner. The goal of Project ChildSafe is to inform and educate all firearms owners on key safety issues and to provide firearms safety kits that include a gun-locking device. Project ChildSafe is a component of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a comprehensive, strategic approach to reducing gun crime nationwide. PSN addresses gun violence through prevention, enforcement, and prosecution. Project ChildSafe is part of PSN’s prevention efforts.

Remember that since this is an evaluation study, you should focus your plan on what the program seeks to achieve. Be thorough with your research plan. 1. What would your main hypothesis be? 2. What variables would you examine? How would you gather the data? 3. If you propose using a survey, include the survey with the answer. 4. How would you know whether drug courts are effective? Crime and Punishment You have been studying criminal justice for some time now. Because you are a student who is getting ready to graduate with a Master’s Degree in Criminal Justice, you are asked by the local high school civics instructor to make a presentation to his class about crime. The instructor would like you to explain the three (3) major types, or categories, of crime, giving a few examples of each type. He would also like for you to explain why only one (1) category of crime is well known to the public. To help students understand the categories of crime, the instructor asks you to focus on why it is necessary to have these distinctions (e.g., categories) and to explain the penalty structure for various categories of crime, including why certain ones receive harsher sentences than others do.
