Choose a prominent figure (former or current) of a criminal justice organization/agency and research a minimum of 2 articles that discuss decisions they made or that profile their leadership role.

Your job in reviewing these articles is to describe the thesis and evaluate its persuasiveness.

Note: 

 

The review should do two things:

 

Summarize each article in a fair, complete, and balanced manner. To do that describe: 

• What the article tries to argue or what the author is trying to convince you of.
• Describe how the author defended or justified their argument (what data, information, ideas, theories, etc. did he/she use)
• Describe the conclusions or findings of the article(s).

You will then use the information from your summary to develop a "Leadership Profile" of the figure, describing their:    

• Path to Leadership
• Leadership Style
• Strengths & Weaknesses as a Leader
• Most impactful decisions
• Power & Political Influence

 

NOTE: The description in the Leadership Profile should describe the leader in the context of the leadership concepts learned in the class.
