  • Provide detailed examples of each of those roles in action within each of the following environments:
    • Law enforcement
    • Corrections
    • Courts system (excluding jury selection)

Be sure to support your answers with material from the Reading and outside research (at least two outside sources from scholarly journal articles, Internet sources, the textbook articles from the Library, and other course material.)
