A critical skillset in the field of criminal justice is data-based decision making. This involves locating relevant data within a given set of parameters and analyzing that data to answer questions. One type of data analysis is the measurement of central tendency. In this assignment, you’ll calculate measures of central tendency to better understand the meaning, uses, and limitations of central tendency in criminal justice research.
Find a raw data set of at least 20 data points from a criminal justice data source. Return to your exploration of criminal justice repositories from the discussion this week. Many of these repositories have raw collected data in addition to data analysis and reports. For example, the Bureau of Justice Statistics Data Collection page contains census data for parolees, law enforcement officers, and jail inmates. You can truncate a larger data set to give a small set of data to work with; for example, you may choose to narrow the data down to a particular geographic region or type of criminal justice organization.
Note: You will use the data set you select for next week’s assignment as well.
Write a 790- to 875-word paper in which you do the following:
Explain why you selected this data set and what questions you would be able to answer with it. In an appendix, include the data set table with a reference link.
Calculate the mean and median for your data set.
Interpret the results of your calculation. Explain how the mean and median each represent the central tendency of this small set of data, along with how and why they differ in exact value.
Explain the implications of the results of your calculation. Consider the following questions in your response:
When would the mean value or median value be useful?
What are the limitations of the mean and the median in this data set?
What do these measures of central tendency tell you or not tell you?
Apply what you have learned about central tendencies with mean and median. Provide an example and short explanation of how you think mean and median could be used in your desired career in the field of criminal justice.
Cite a minimum of 2 peer-reviewed sources.
Format your paper according to APA guidelines.
Submit your assignment.

by | Dec 20, 2022 | Policy

Various programs to increase employment in the healthcare sector have recently been introduced in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. As a result, an increasing number of foreigners have been provided with the opportunity work in the Kingdom. Studies show that 30% of the workforce in Saudi Arabia consists of expatriates (expats), or individuals from other countries who reside in the Kingdom.
Assuming the role of Director of Human Resources, you have been tasked with filling a number of open positions in your hospital. One strategy you are considering is to recruit expats. There are national policies and procedures that employers must follow before recruiting for and hiring expats. Create a PowerPoint presentation for your facility’s Board of Directors with the following heading items in your submission:
Identify and describe an open position that needs to be filled.
Rationalize the need for this position.
Explain national policies that restrict expat employment in the Kingdom.
Describe how to “sell” the strategy of recruiting and hiring expats to the Board of Directors.
Conclusion.
Your presentation should meet the following structural requirements:
Be 14 slides in length, not including the cover or reference slides.
Be formatted according to APA and University writing guidelines.
Provide support for your statements with citations from a minimum of 8 scholarly articles. These citations should be stated in the Notes section of the slide in which they appear. T
Presentation notes are required for each slide to support the slide content. These must be a part of the presentation, and so the presentation cannot be submitted in PDF format, which does not make notes visible to the instructor. About 200 words on each slide in the presentation notes area will suffice.
Utilize headings to organize the content in your presentation.
