alter the current policy.
This may also be a policy brief or a congressional testimony designed
to convince Congress to continue or alter the current policy.
This Assignment further builds on
your first two policy analysis papers on the Trafficking Victims Protection Act
(TVPA) Reauthorization of 2022. Discuss your chosen policy (the policy you
chose for Assignments #1 & #2, above) with regard to the following:
1.) Select one of the weaknesses in the current policy that
undermines human rights (at the
individual, family, group,
organizational, or community levels) or hinders social, racial,
economic, and environmental
justice that you feel strongly about and want to see fixed.
2.) Propose a recommendation (or a
set of recommendations) or alternative policy(ies) to
remedy the weakness you have
identified.
3.) When recommending alternative
policies, be sure to justify your suggestions. For this,
use multiple sources of data:
literature reviews, expert opinions, and news media. If there
are bills that incorporate your
idea but have not yet been passed, that is a good place to
start. You may also use the
results from a pilot project or state or international experience
to strengthen your case.
4.) Discuss changes in
allocations, provisions, delivery, and financing mechanisms in the
alternative policy you propose.
5.) Critically assess the
strengths and weaknesses of your proposed change. In this
discussion, use social justice,
anti-racist, and anti-oppressive perspectives to assess how
vulnerable groups in society,
including BIPOC, immigrants/refugees, women and
children, elderly, veterans, people living in poverty, people with disabilities, and
LGBTQ+ populations will fare from
such changes.
6.) Discuss strategies for bringing the new/revised policy into being.
