Juvenile Justice Criminal Investigation Serial Homicide Writing in criminal justice has always been a major problem. A common complaint of the administrators that hire criminal justice graduates is that they lack adequate written communication skills. Poor writing can result in charges being dismissed, warrants being denied, evidence being thrown out, etc. With this in mind, Mr. Caeti seeks to help students learn how to communicate effectively in writing. His goal is that the student learn here before they get embarrassed by a judge, an attorney, or their eventual boss out in the field where the stakes are much higher and people's lives are affected.
Expectations vary according to the class being taught.
They differ substantially between Senior Seminar and U.S. Crime and Justice. However, the guiding principle for any student should be professionalism. Mr. Caeti expects a student to be professional in whatever work they turn in. This means it must be typed, it must be error free, it should be pleasing to the eye, it should be clear to read, and the research supporting it should be sound and academic. No funky fonts or colors Correct punctuation, spelling, grammar, and other technical aspects of the term paper or writing are not as important as the structure, conformity to guidelines, and actual writing of the paper.
