Directions are below:

In this paper, you will choose a particular issue (example: human trafficking) and identify one state, one national, and one international policy OR one local, state and national policy focused on this issue. Students provide critical analysis of these policies.

Paper format:

Introductory paragraph:

Discuss the problem/issue.
Why is it important?
Why should we care? What about the issue illicit social justice concerns?
Body of the paper:

Identify the state/national/international OR local/state/national policies of focus and provide critical analysis of HOW these impact populations. Are human rights being violated by the policy or does the policy attempt to protect rights? Students will identify whether or not the policies respond to the unique vulnerabilities and needs of people impacted by the issue. Go beyond stating that they do or they do not respond – critical analysis must be evident in order to earn full points.
Discuss why these particular policies were enacted at the time they were enacted – what was happening socially, politically, and economically?
Conclusion:

Provide a concluding paragraph(s).
Summarize what you discussed and the impact of the issue.
Describe your overall understanding of the issue and how you can possibly resolve the issue (i.e. What can be done about addressing the issue).
Briefly address implications for society if the issue is (1) addressed and (2) not addressed.

References and in-text citations should be in APA format. Three (3) legitimate references must be included (THIS MEANS PEER REVIEWED REFERENCES). You may also include other sources to support your work.
