Your discussion posts for each chapter should focus on:
1. How research findings of the theory/in the chapter are relevant to current CJ policies and practices
2. Changes in U.S. CJ policies and practices warranted by research findings
*In other words, are we currently doing what this theory or chapter indicates in order to reduce crime in the United States/have a more equitable criminal justice system? If so, explain how a current policy or practice is consistent with what the theory/chapter suggests and why. If not, what types of policy or practice change should be implemented to be in line with the research findings presented in this chapter?
