CRJ 201: Introduction to Criminal Justice
Week 3 Assignments:
ReadChapters 6 & 7 in Introduction to Criminal Justice
This week your reading will focus on the courts in particular, which is one component of the criminal
justice system. Much like the criminal justice system as a whole, the components within it also have
various sub-systems. This is the case with the courts. You will be expected to use this information and
your own perspective in this week’s Written Assignment and Discussions.
This week you will need to participate one discussion forum. Create an initial post by Day 3 that
demonstrates a thorough understanding of the material. Respond to at leasttwo peers by Day 7 of the
week. Be sure to fully address the prompt in order to earn full points!
Discussion
Prior to beginning work on this discussion, please complete the assigned readings in Chapter 6 and
Chapter 7 of the Wright (2012) text, and review the website, About Federal Courts (Links to an
external site.)Links to an external site. (http://www.uscourts.gov/about-federal-courts) . Be sure to
support your descriptions with references to Wright’s text and/or scholarly sources
The judiciary is an important part of the criminal justice system. After police arrest an individual, an
extensive chain of events is set off in the American court system. As noted, Section 6.2 of Chapter 6 of
the Wright (2012) text indicates that there are 51 separate court systems in the United States. The
federal government operates one court system, referred to as the federal court system. Each of the 50
states operates a court system, referred to as state court systems. Both the federal courts and the state
courts have three main levels: trial courts, appeals courts, and supreme courts. Note that Wright (2012)
also includes a discussion of the term jurisdiction in Section 6.2 of Chapter 6.
Your instructor will assign you a section for this discussion. Respond to the prompts within your
assigned group. For the fourth part (in each group) consider how knowledge of cultural sensitivity and
diversity awareness could apply to positively influence a process or responsibility. Based on your
assigned section, address the following:
• Section 1 – Students whose last name begins with the letters A-I: State and Federal Trial
Courts
◦ Describe processes for preliminary hearings and for the grand jury.
◦ Describe the main responsibilities of state trial courts and federal trial courts.
◦ Interpret how at least one constitutional principle relevant to social and criminal justice relates to
one of the above processes or responsibilities.
◦ Apply knowledge of cultural sensitivity and diversity awareness to at least one of the above
processes or responsibilities.
• Section 2 – Students whose last names begin with the letters J–Q: State and Federal Appeals
Courts
◦ Describe processes for arraignment and for plea bargaining.
◦ Describe the main responsibilities of state appeals courts and federal appeals courts.
◦ Interpret how at least one constitutional principle relevant to social and criminal justice relates to
one of the above processes or responsibilities.
◦ Apply knowledge of cultural sensitivity and diversity awareness to at least one of the above
processes or responsibilities.
• Section 3 – Students whose last names begin with the letters R –Z: State Supreme Courts and
the United States Supreme Court.
◦ Describe processes for jury selection and for the jury.
◦ Describe the main responsibilities of state supreme courts and the United States Supreme Court.
◦ Interpret how at least one constitutional principle relevant to social and criminal justice relates to
one of the above processes or responsibilities.
◦ Apply knowledge of cultural sensitivity and diversity awareness to at least one of the above
processes or responsibilities.
• All Students
◦ Briefly define the term jurisdiction as it relates to courts.
Guided Response: Your initial post should be at least 350 words in length. Support your claims with
examples from the required material(s) and scholarly resources, and properly cite any references.

Final Paper Preparation
Prior to beginning work on this Annotated Bibliography, review the instructions for the Final
Paper located in Week 5. Review the Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources (Links
to an external site.)Links to an external site.
(https://content.bridgepointeducation.com/curriculum/file/e5359309-7d3c-4a21-a41044d59303ccef/1/Scholarly%20Peer-Reviewed%20and%20Other%20Credible%20Sources.pdf) table; read
the article Integrating Evidence-Based Practices Into Judicial Sentencing in the Wake of Realignment’s
Split Sentencing; and review the About Federal Courts (Links to an external site.)Links to an
external site. (http://www.uscourts.gov/about-federal-courts) website to help find supplementary
resources for the week.
The purpose of creating an Annotated Bibliography (Links to an external site.)Links to an external
site. (http://writingcenter.ashford.edu/annotated-bibliography) is to provide a list of sources to assist
you in your approach to the Final Project. The Ashford University Writing Center has created
this Annotated Bibliography Template for use in this assignment. The listed sources should be
scholarly and/or credible, and at least three of them need to meet scholarly source criteria and come
from the JSTOR, Project MUSE, ProQuest, or EBSCOhost databases, which are all available through
the Ashford University Library. The list should include the following information for each source:
• Name of the source including the complete bibliographic citation in proper APA format
• Summary of the source (at least one paragraph) including how this source will contribute to your
paper
The Annotated Bibliography must include at least five relevant sources other than the textbook, three of
which may be found in the Ashford University Library. Three of the required sources must be scholarly
and the remaining two sources must be either scholarly or credible.
Consider using Q for your library research and to access writing supports, and tutoring services
available to you. See the Guide to Installing and Using Q (Links to an external site.)Links to an
external site.

and see Searching the Ashford University Library document for assignment-specific search tips.
The Annotated Bibliography. For the annotated bibliography, you need to research sources that
correspond to the three hypothetical cases included in the Final Project. Please visit the Academic
Research section on your course home page (accessible through the Student Responsibilities and
Policies tab on the left navigation toolbar) to review what types of materials are not acceptable for
academic, university-level research. Because the Final Project includes three hypothetical cases, please
find and organize your resources accordingly first by creating the Annotated Bibliography above, and
then using the same APA citations in your APA references page that you will place at the end of your
Final Paper in Week 5. To assist you with creating the Annotated Bibliography that will be relevant to the
Final Paper, please follow these research parameters:
Two Sources for Case No. 1
• Case No. 1 includes the criminal justice issue of law enforcement communication in multilingual
settings. In addition, this case considers applications for criminology. Note that Week 1 includes
resources that address life course theory and other criminological theories that consider how
criminology could address issues in criminal justice. Accordingly, please include the following:
◦ Summarize one source relevant to the criminal justice issue of law enforcement communication
in multilingual communities.
◦ Summarize one source that provides insight on how criminology may apply to a program,
practice, approach or policy relevant to a criminal justice issue in Case No. 1.
One Source for Case No. 2
• Case No. 2 addresses juror exclusion by race. Note that the recommended resources for this week
include two sources that address this issue. Please include the following:
◦ Summarize one source relevant to the criminal justice issue of juror exclusion by race in a
criminal case.
One Source for Case No. 3
• Case No. 3 considers Eighth Amendment issues in correctional environments with respect to cell
conditions. Please include the following:
◦ Summarize one source relevant to the criminal justice issue of cell conditions within the context
of Eighth Amendment considerations.
An Additional Source
• Please summarize one additional source that addresses a criminal justice issue relevant to an issue
in one of the three cases. This will help you complete a part of the Final Paper that relates to critical
perspectives.

The Courts
As we have already discussed, the courts (or judiciary) are one component within the criminal justice
