The first article on the Week 2 Learning Resources page is "Evaluating Multi-Agency Anti-Crime Partnerships: Theory, Design and Measurement Issues".
Your entire group project is centered around this mindset as each of you represent one facet of "crime fighting" in the scenario about the VBBC. The police can't do it alone, nor can the courts, nor the corrections world, etc. It does take a team effort to fight crime and as you might imagine. Collaboration does not work very effectively in many locales (politics, lack of effort, turf protection, etc.)
After reading this article provide your response to the following questions:
a. What is the most significant thing you have learned in your review of the article regarding collaborative team work in criminal justice?
b. Why is this significant learning important to your role in the group?
c. How do you plan to use what you've learned in your group collaboration to deal with the VBBC in the role you selected?
