* Prompt
For this discussion, please use your knowledge of leadership to answer the following questions. Provide specific examples for each response. Use the required chapter readings, lectures, and discussion videos to respond:
What role do leaders have in employee accountability and guiding ethical behavior? Provide an example (such as negligent supervision of police officers that resulted in liability).
Outline the basic procedure to be followed by supervisors when performing an internal affairs investigation to address potential misconduct.
What are the benefits of Early Intervention Systems (EIS) in identifying problem officers? Should this apply to monitoring problematic leaders?
Should criminal justice leaders prioritize community policing? Why or why not?
As potential leaders in the criminal justice field, how can you personally contribute to fostering positive relationships between law enforcement and the community? Provide an example.
Guidelines
For full credit, you must demonstrate a clear understanding of the readings and course concepts. Your response should be analytical, rather than merely descriptive. Meaning, that I would like you to contribute new information from your own analysis of the readings. Do not just copy and paste the reading into your response. The discussion videos usually help to reify the topic at hand, but it is more important that you draw from the course readings and lectures than watching the video alone. I will deduct points if you do not show evidence you are reading course materials and drawing your analysis from empirical sources, meaning, stay away from using conjecture, too many anecdotes, or personal opinion, some are ok but it should mostly read as academic as possible. Make sure to provide proper in-text citations (see Writing Resources for more on APA and ASA formatting).
Think of Discussions as a mini-essay. You may respond in paragraph form, short-hand, or bullet points but please give enough details so I can verify you read and comprehend the readings.
Discussion prompts should be answered completely and addressed thoroughly with a minimum of 300 words, NOT including repeating the prompt or references.
***Make sure you cite videos, lectures and readings. I have attached reading and lectures citations down below.
