Some criminal justice students have questioned the need to learn about criminological theory because it is not related to the real world, or at least the field of criminal justice. Many students and professionals believe that the fast pace of policing neighborhoods and the practice of investigation is a science of practicality, not of theory.In an essay of 3–4 pages, discuss at least 3 policies on the left-hand side below, and discuss which of the theories on the right-hand side might have influenced these policies. The policies and theories are not listed in any particular order, and any policy could be related to any of the theories on the list. You may also use other polices not listed, as long as you relate these policies to the ideas found in the Theories column. As you answer each question, you must provide support or evidence that will enhance and empirically prove your answers. Academic criminal justice articles or real-life criminal justice findings that are found in journals or other academic sources must be used in supporting your answers. Please use APA format for all cited sources, including your reference page.Additionally, be sure to follow these directions:Dedicate about 1 page to the analysis of each policy.Policies should only be described briefly, with most of the discussion concerning the theoretical underpinnings of the policy.You should discuss the main objectives of the policy and how these objectives are related to criminological theory. If possible, you should discuss the historical contexts of the policies and the theoretical ideas that led to their creation.

Assessment Task 2 – Entrepreneurial Presentation (Group)
Assessment Task 2 – Entrepreneurial Presentation (Group) (30%)
Due Sunday 1 October – week 10 (on UTS Online by 23:59). Each group will present in the lecture venue in weeks 10 and 11.
Background
Consider that you are employees of a large and successful venture capital firm. The board of the firm is deciding upon its current round of investments and strategic direction. Each group in the firm is making a pitch to the board and their colleagues to try and secure funding for their identified opportunity. This could be a new or existing start-up, new piece of technology, an existing business looking to scale. For example, your board is open to considering future investments in renewable energy markets, mobile technology platforms, global professional outsourcing, social enterprises etc.
The board is meeting in Weeks 10-12 of this semester, and your group will need to make a pitch and submit a supporting strategic report to the board. Convincing the board to invest in your identified opportunity is essential as your job depends on it – the firm operates on a promotion system of “up or out”!
Task
In groups of 3-4 (pending class size), identify a promising new venture or investment that will appeal to the board. The board will most certainly need to understand the start-up’s wider competitive environment, business model, financial viability and amount of investment required (and corresponding equity on offer).
Your group needs to consider:
– Assessment of opportunity – technology, market and organizational capabilities
o Understanding of current baseline/problem/market.
o Description of the “technology” or idea under question (that solves a problem).
– Analysis of the business model or areas of industry investment
o How does this model create and capture value?
– Opportunity details such as:
- Financial – What is the financial viability of this investment?
- Marketing – Market size, target market, sales and distribution
- Operations – management team, key personnel
Background Report (to be used as supplementary material to your pitch deck, rather than a comprehensive business plan) in hard copy in the tutorial in which you are presenting. The written
report should be no longer than 2000 words, excluding references.
You will be assessed as follows:
Pitch deck 12%
– quality of slides – clarity, comprehension, visual appeal
– clear identification of problem/gap/opportunity, value proposition
– rationale to support value proposition and investment
Pitch delivery 10%
– enthusiasm, engagement, presentation style
– preparation and organisation of group members
– management of Q&A (responses to questions and queries)
Strategic Analysis Report 5%
– Description of key issues – marketing, environment, management team
– Appropriate financial forecasting
– Clarity of writing, spelling, grammar
Q&A contribution 3%
– Contribution towards analyses of other group pitches (graded throughout
the 3 ‘pitching weeks’)
Tips:
o Use the universal pitch deck – http://www.pollenizer.com/universal-startup-pitch-deck/
o Go to pitching competition’s (Friday afternoon’s at Fishburners or the UTS Hatchery):
http://fishburners.org or http://www.uts.edu.au/currentstudents/
opportunities/hatchery/overview – they use the universal pitch deck! Yes, it’s real!
o You can take the position of being members of a start-up and pitching to the board, or as
colleagues within the firm who have found a new start up to pitch.
o Clearly identify the problem you are solving or issue you are addressing.
o Pitching your ideas and projects is a skill necessary for entrepreneurs seeking angel
financing, but also for those within firms where you must ‘sell’ your projects and strategies
(i.e. making a business case) to senior management or shareholders.
o Develop a unique way of communicating what is most important in the industry or market,
particularly using your own new graphs, tables, or diagrams.
o The Background Report is a supporting document (that can show your depth of research and
analysis, and insights that cannot fit on to your slides). Please note this is NOT a business
plan.

Ethics and Law Writing
You are the Chief Executive of a Local Health Network is New South Wales. E is a patient in one of your hospitals. E had suffered from anorexia since her early teens, brought about by serious sexual abuse which she experienced between the ages of 4 and 11. Despite the challenges of her illness, she was universally described as intelligent and articulate and had completed several years of a medical degree at university before her illness rendered it impossible to continue. She had undergone a number of admissions for medical and psychiatric care, including legislative sectioning on about 10 occasions. In July 2016 E signed a document saying that she did not want to be resuscitated or to be given any medical intervention to prolong her life, assisted by her mother.
In October 2016, she signed another advance directive in a standard form, while admitted in hospital. Following her discharge and return to the community, a familiar pattern re-asserted itself. By early 2017 E was drinking very heavily. She was re-detained in March 2017 and was initially fed by tube but opposed this and tube feeding was stopped. As a result, she has not been taking any calories at all since the end of March. On 20 April 2017 E was admitted to a community hospital for palliative care and placed on an ‘end of life’ care pathway with high doses of opiate medication, to which she is physically addicted.
E has been diagnosed as suffering from a very rare triad of anorexia, alcoholism and personality disorder. Her parents, although not wanting E to die, did not support any further medical intervention unless there was a real prospect of success. E’s treating doctors are doubtful about further coercive treatment. The NSW Health Solicitor has been instructed by you and she has relied on the advice of an expert, who advised that highly specialized treatment was available, which had not been tried, that although not without significant risk might return E to relatively normal life. The treatment involves a number of medical interventions including forcible feeding and using chemical sedation.
The Department of Health, on your behalf, has applied to the NSW Supreme Court in its parens patriae jurisdiction for orders on how to proceed.
What do you think will be the outcome of this application? In addressing this issue, include the following:
- Does E have the capacity and were her attempts to make binding advance care directives valid? (10 marks)
- What are the ethical factors and legal principles that you, as a health service manager, would apply in balancing the value of Es life on one hand and the value of her personal independence on the other? (10 marks)
- Assess the ethical principles and legal obligations that you, as a health service manager, will need to consider in managing your team treating E, some of whom may object to the way the matter proceeds, and the treatment provided to E. (10 marks)

Your introduction should describe the procedure, equipment, new technology or software to be evaluated and a clear outline of the proposal. You could also include a statement explaining why the procedure/technology is significant. You should then critically evaluate the procedure/technology, for example by discussing its applications and implementation, costs/benefits etc and drawing on relevant articles and reports in the field. You should conclude by identifying potential areas of further development or research.
All sources of information should be suitably acknowledged in the body of the proposal and in the list of references.
