This summative assessment has 2 deliverables:

• Part 1: 1- to 2-page matrix
• Part 2: 45- to 90-word summary
• Audience: Using the prompts in Parts 1 and 2, develop your matrix and summary deliverables from the perspective of a criminal justice professional who has been asked to deliver a lunch-and-learn presentation to interns in your department. The matrix and summary will be used in the presentation to raise awareness about these issues.

• Law enforcement practices
• Arrest rates
• Prosecutorial and judicial discretion
• Bail/pretrial detention
• Sentencing disparities
• Collateral consequences (e.g., voting rights restrictions, future employment opportunities, access to housing, etc.)
• For each issue in the matrix, you should:
• Briefly summarize the issue you identified.
• Explain how prejudice, discrimination, or implicit bias contribute to the issue.
• Identify criminal justice professionals in either law enforcement, the courts, or corrections who may encounter the issue in their daily responsibilities. Additionally, recommend 1-2 actions they can take to counteract or prevent the issue you identified.
