The Role of Social Worker in School

Instructions

There are two parts to this research paper. The first part is research and will require you to “get into the field” and observe some aspect of the criminal justice system in action. You will need to choose an aspect of the criminal justice system (police, courts, probation, jail, etc) in which to go on a “ride-along” or observe how players in that agency operate for four or more hours.

During this time, you should interview at least one (but preferably more) persons who work for/with the agency (ie police officer, dispatcher, judge, lawyer, deputy sheriff, deputy probation officer, etc).You may choose to call an agency that is closer to your home or more convenient for you. However, these appointments can take up to a couple weeks to arrange, so plan ahead and get started early!

The second part of the project is your paper. The goal of the paper is to show what you learned about the agency you studied (observed), what its role is in the criminal justice system and how it interacts with other agencies. It should also describe your experience on your ride-a-long and the interview/s you conducted.
