Problem
The U.S. criminal justice system makes news on a daily basis for both positive and negative reasons. You are asked to find an article either in an online newspaper, or other reputable national or local news source, that is criminal justice related. You may not use articles from entertainment/gossip sources or social media platforms. Because this is a criminal justice current events assignment, you are to choose an article that is no more than one week old from the date that you upload your essay. Start by summarizing the article details. Next, connect the article with at least two concepts that you have learned or considered from this class. In other words, while reading the article -- what thoughts did you have that reminded you of concepts that you considered from the course (mass incarceration and restorative justice)? Share your thinking about the topic and how your perspective may have changed or broadened.
