The internship is an important part of your criminal justice education. It allows you the opportunity to view the realities of the criminal justice system in operation and how it melds with the models discussed in your class work. It also gives you and the employing agency a chance to review each other for post graduation employment. A large number of our students are offered jobs by their internship agency. For these reasons it is important to choose your internship agency very carefully.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The ITNL 3800 internship is an international based internship and may be substituted for the upper-division Major Requirement and is available for 6 semester hours.  It is a structured off-sight experience in a supervised international setting.

Prerequisite: Junior or Senior standing and approval of the internship coordinator. If a student is interested in doing an internship, they will select a site themselves or be recommended to a site by the Internship coordinator.  There is a good deal of flexibility in what constitutes an appropriate work site, but it should be connected with the field of criminal justice, which would normally include: law enforcement agencies, prisons, probation and parole offices, social service organizations, governmental agencies, department store security firms, research institutions or foundations, and judicial, legal, and political offices.  The course is designed to provide practical on-the-job experiences, which augment in-class experiences.  The internship is designed to follow the school's regular semester scheduling.  The best internships are planned well in advance.

Required Textbook: Criminal Justice Internships: Theory Into Practice by Gary Gordon & R. Bruce McBride

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

1. Knowledge about [the laws] pertaining to [the type of work] the agency does
2. Understanding and appreciation for the daily operations [of the agency]
3. Ability to analyze, synthesize, and generalize about the agency and what with what was learned in classes.
4. Ability to [self-] assess performance at the agency and skill levels required
5. Ability to [self-] assess whether the agency [or line of work] is a desirable kind of career

COURSE REQUIREMENTS:

For 6 semester hours of credit, each student must complete a minimum of 96 hours of service to the organization at their internship site. Also, students are required to meet 4 times a week for three weeks with the internship coordinator. These meetings are MANDATORY and may be scheduled for up to 1-hour durations.

INDEMNITY:  If your employer asks you to sign a waiver, this will be the next thing you turn. This is important for school insurance purposes.  We don't want anything bad to happen to you, but before you set foot on agency grounds, it's important to clearly understand when one insurance policy ends and another begins. Your agency will probably have you sign a similar form or something dealing with liability.  The Internship Coordinator should have a filed copy of your indemnity form.    

In addition to the above mentioned requirements, there are SEVEN other requirements aside from your work duties that must be met before a grade will be issued:

1. A daily log of your work duties, hours, experiences and thoughts for each day.

2. There are a set of questions for each chapter in the text book. You are to TYPE out the questions and answers to all of these questions and place a hard copy in your portfolio.

3. Each intern is required to mail a weekly report form to the internship coordinator.

4. A capstone paper at least 10 pages in length, excluding the bibliography.

5. A 5-10 minute PowerPoint presentation on your internship experience.

6. Completion of a student internship site evaluation form.

7. A completed internship portfolio containing all your work

The following is an outline of the specific step-by-step procedure for fulfilling your internship requirements.

1. Purchase the textbook required for this course; Criminal Justice Internships, by Gordon and McBride. Besides providing questions for your paper, the text serves as an excellent resource.

2. Determine the agency you would like to intern with and clear the agency with the internship coordinator. Some agencies have been deemed inappropriate and are not eligible for internships. Be honest with the agency and address any problems up front.

3. Completion of your Learning Agreement. The internship coordinator may conduct a personal interview with your supervisor and fill out a midterm evaluation on your performance.

4. After completing your work assignment your employer will complete a final evaluation form for your internship. This form will be mailed to the employer by the Career Services office.

5. Only after all of the above steps have been completed will a grade be issued for the course. I want to emphasize that this course is worth 6 hours of academic credit, so a considerable amount of effort will be expected in completing your academic work. It is not something that you could knock out the night before turning it in.

1.  AGENCY EVALUATION (100 points)
        Your immediate supervisor will complete an evaluation on you at the conclusion of your internship.  Low evaluations scores will result in a lower grade.  If your placement is terminated by the agency, you will receive an F for the course.  You cannot average more than 10 hours of work per week. 

2.  WEEKLY REPORTS (25 Points)
        Each student must complete a weekly report of their hours worked and short explanation of their duties on a weekly basis.  Even if you do not work a full week of 40 hours you need to mail a report in.  The report should have your daily shift hours (9 AM-5 PM), your total hours for the week, and your total hours for the internship and addresses and phone numbers where you can be reached both at work and home.  Failure to send or provide these reports in/on a timely manner or incomplete reports will result in a reduced grade.  It is your responsibility to keep copies of these reports.  Copies will not be provided to students after they are turned in.

3. JOURNAL (75 Points)
        At the end of the internship each student will also hand in a journal.  This is a simple notebook that should contain your thoughts and ideas that occur to you each day.  This is your chance to tell me your ideas and experiences.  No one else will ever see this notebook other than the criminal justice faculty at.  Failure to provide a timely insightful journal will result in a grade reduction.  This log book is not a log of duties; rather it is a diary of your thoughts and experiences.  One or two sentence entries will not meet this requirement.

Not acceptable: 7/7/07: Today we just rode around on patrol. Nothing happened

Acceptable: 7/7/07: Today I was assigned to the patrol division. My supervisory officer was Capt. Bobo. He has worked for the APD for 12 years. He has had this specific patrol area (district #6) for the last 6 years. We pulled over several offenders for traffic stops during the shift. Most were uneventful, however, as Bobo said, you have to always be prepared for the worst. One of the individuals we pulled over became very irate claiming that he was being harassed because he drove a nice car (a Hummer). He was rather rude at first. Bobo handled the situation very calmly and his professional manner seemed to calm the individual down. Later in discussing the incident he told me that he has more problems when pulling over expensive vehicles than "standard" cars. He also said that he tends to have more trouble in pulling people over during morning rush hour times. He just advised me to always remain professional and not take any hostility as a personal attack. I was impressed with his demeanor.

3.  CHAPTER QUESTIONS (100 Points)
        Each student must answer a set of questions corresponding with each chapter of the text book.  These questions are available and included with this syllabus.  Some chapters do not have any questions (1).  Grammar and composition are important components of this assignment.  Answers that give little thought to the question posed or that offer incomplete answers will result in a lower grade.

4.  PAPER REQUIREMENTS (200 Points)
        The paper is intended to demonstrate your understanding of the material taught in the classroom and its relationship to your internship experiences. The entire paper must be written using the APA style. If you haven't written a paper using this format, you may consider purchasing a style manual. Rather than purchase a style manual, the easiest thing to do is to look over any criminal justice, sociology, political science or psychology journal and follow their method of annotation. All social science journals use APA format.  Margins are to be 1" on all four sides, size 12 Times Roman font with double spaced lines.  Failure to follow the correct format will result in a 10 point grade reduction regardless of paper content.  An excellent site that gives detailed information on how to use the APA style is found at:http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/research/r_apa.html 

5. POWERPOINT PRESENTATION (50 Points) At the conclusion of the internship and consistent with your paper and journals, you are to create a Powerpoint presentation that outlines what it was like to intern at your agency, what you learned about the agency and its services, how it fits into the field of criminal justice, how the experience affects your view of your education here at CSU and what you would recommend to improve the internship site as a location for future internship students. Students should be prepared to deliver a 5-10 minute power point presentation on their internship experience to the class. This exercise is designed to allow other students in the class to learn about each other’s internship experience. This presentation will take place when we arrive in Durban. Each slide should be thoroughly explained and a copy of this presentation should be placed in your portfolio. THIS PRESENTATION IS MANDATORY.

The paper will consist of four sections, as outlined below.

1: The literature review. (2 page minimum length) **
A historical review of the agency category in which you work. If you are working for a law enforcement agency give a brief history of the development of that type of agency (private, public, state, local, etc.) and the same for courts or corrections. The literature review is a summary statement of original research that you compile using primary library resources. Encyclopedias, internet summaries, lecture notes and survey textbooks are secondary sources and are not acceptable. Our library contains several historical reviews and journal articles on the early development of each component of the CJ system. Many others can be found through interlibrary loan. A minimum of three different resources should be used. This is a historical review so you need to start at the earliest developmental predecessors.  Failure to use proper citation format (APA) or the use of improper sources will result in a reduced grade.

**It is important to note that this section of the paper is the most important and carries the majority of the credit for this assignment.

For example:  If you are working for a police agency then you need to review the earliest form of policing in Greece and Rome.  You would also review Robert Peele and the Metropolitan Police Act. If you are working for a lawyer, you need to outline the development of courts and their officers starting with Ancient Greece and going through Rome and England.

2: Agency specific review (2 page minimum length)
Give a detailed account of the development of the agency in which you work. How it developed, its' historical antecedents, etc.   If there is not a great deal of information regarding your agency than step back and take a broader perspective.  For example, if you are working for a private attorney there may not be a lot of information on the development of their law office.  Instead, start off discussing lawyers in Georgia, the Georgia Bar and the duties of lawyers in Georgia.  Be sure to cite all sources used to compose this section of the paper using the APA format. For this section, you are permitted to use internet sources as references, provided they are sites specifically developed by the agency. You can also use newspapers to detail and outline stories or incidents/issues related to the agency. DO NOT COPY THESE SOURCES. Use them as references.

3: Relevant course material (1 page minimum length)
First, list all the criminal justice courses you have taken.  Second, recount specific course work that applied toward your internship position. Finally, discuss how that material was or was not applicable to your experiences.

4: Personal (2 page minimum length)
Give a summary account of your experiences with your internship agency and how your course work helped or did not help you in your work. What material was particularly helpful in your work? What material or topics should be added to the curriculum to help future students be better prepared for the workplace? This is your chance to influence future program and course content at , take advantage of it.  You will not be penalized in any way for your opinions.

5: Evaluation Survey You must complete and include a copy of the internship experience survey. A copy of the survey can be found attached to this syllabus.

The paper is to be turned in with all of your other materials at the end of your internship. It should be a minimum of 7 pages in length (excluding reference page), typed, double spaced, 1" margins on all four sides, size 12 font and bound or in a hard notebook with the other materials.  Grammar, composition and spelling are key components of this assignment.  Failure to cover any of the topics in an in-depth manner will result in a reduced grade.

*WARNING:  Plagiarism of any kind will not be tolerated.  Your papers will be run through a plagiarism program and if it is determined that you have plagiarized any part of your paper you will receive an "F" for the course and a request for immediate academic suspension will be filed against you.  No excuses will be accepted.  

"Students agree that by taking this course all required papers may be subject to submission for textual similarity review to Turnitin.com for the detection of plagiarism.  All submitted papers will be included as source documents in the Turnitin.com reference database solely for the purpose of detecting plagiarism of such papers.  Use of the Turnitin.com service is subject to the Terms and Conditions of Use posted on the Turnitin.com site."

LEARNING CONTRACT:  The Learning Contract is another form you will need to complete and send in.  And, it has to make sense.  This is the part where someone at the agency should ideally help you fill out the form. It is always preferable for you and your site supervisor to sit down and tailor some individualized objectives. After you have signed it, have the faculty instructor sign it.  For those who have never done it before, here's how it goes with some examples:

EVALUATIONS:  The Office of Career Services will mail evaluation forms to your internship site supervisor for completion. You shouldn't have any problems with the Evaluations. They must be completed and returned by your site supervisor to the Office of Career Services.

During the initial meeting students will share information on their Experiential Learning Agreement Form.  During the second class meeting, each student will share information about his/her site, including the organization's goals and objectives, an organizational chart of the staff, and a description of the advantages and disadvantages of the internship site. The second class meeting will include discussion of your experiences with your sites.

PAPER:  Try not to let your internship paper simply be a write-up of your journal, and shoot for more than the minimum in page length.  The paper that is required at the end of the course is a discussion of the tasks performed during the internship. The purpose of the paper is to increase your awareness and command of material presented during your courses in the Criminal Justice Program, its relevant application in actual criminal justice situations and the benefits gained from your internship experience. This might include the types of research tools utilized, the type of computer software used, and what was learned from related activities. The paper is to be typed, double spaced and of a length commensurate with a full discussion of your experience in the participating agency. Your internship paper must meet these minimum requirements:

a. Describe skills used and acquired.

b. Evaluate the benefit derived from the assignments in terms of the intern’s personal goals. Compare the knowledge and skills actually gained with the knowledge and skills that had been expected. Describe personal performance on different tasks, referencing specific work produced and forms used. Describe any problems that arose while performing assigned tasks.

c. Discuss the benefits provided to the placement site as a result of the internship program and how these benefits might relate to future employment opportunities.

d. Evaluate and summarize the internship experience including general opinions and observations. Discuss the impact of the internship on career orientation, skills acquisition, human relations, and job improvement.

e. Assess how the Criminal Justice Program prepared the student for the experience and how it might offer better preparation.

f. Advice that you would give future interns about the internship experience. Include any insights, comments, and/or recommendations.

At the end of the internship, each intern is required to submit an internship portfolio. This portfolio should contain a Table of contents, the intern’s cover letter to the agency, the intern’s updated resume that reflects the internship experience, any literature that the agency distributes to the public and any forms (if allowable) that you regularly used in your assignments, any copies of forms you have, a copy of your learning agreement, your Journal entries, your course syllabus, your work schedule, your internship site evaluation, your power point presentation (explaining each slide) (This PP must be emailed to me also) and your Paper in a final Portfolio (1-inch binder with appropriate tabs identifying each section). Note: This portfolio should be organized in a professional manner. Normally, these binders are not given back and they become part of the permanent record of the college, much like an Honor's Thesis. 

In addition, it is the student's responsibility to make our daily debriefing sessions. The purpose of this requirement is to keep us informed of progress and other relevant aspects of the internship, turning points, warning signs of trouble, etc. This requirement is mandatory.

SUMMARY:  All interns must sign various forms provided by the College. The Indemnity form, if required, in particular, must be turned in prior to the start of any work. All of the forms you will need will be provided here.

GRADING SCALE:

MAKEUP POLICY:

There is no makeup policy for any assignment that is due.

WITHDRAWALS:
Withdrawals arranged between the student and Registrar are allowed according to schedule in the college's Academic Calendar.

Excuses for not doing your internship work are only allowed in cases of illness or unavoidable circumstances. Illnesses should be documented by a medical professional or by the school's Wellness Center. Unavoidable circumstances should be described in writing, and the Instructor reserves the right to override what the student deems as unavoidable.

Tardiness will be assessed based on telephone contacts between the academic instructor and the agency site supervisor.  If the latter informs that you are showing up late at your assigned times, then the Three Tardies Equals One Absence Rule is applied. Tardiness is defined as twenty minutes late, regardless of whether it occurs at the beginning (late), middle (break), or end (leaving early) of your assigned work period.  Anyone suspected of abusing or exploiting this definition by deliberately and repeatedly keeping it just under twenty minutes will be penalized the same as others.  No sleeping, music, TV, electronic devices, or playing computer games are allowed during the work periods of your internship.  Absenteeism penalties can reduce your letter grade by one or two letters, and in severe cases, result in an F.

ACADEMIC HONESTY:
Plagiarism and Cheating (as per the College Catalog) are prohibited. Plagiarism is defined as taking or using the thoughts, writings, or inventions of another as one's own. It also means using direct quotations without credit and quotation marks, as well as using the ideas of another without proper credit. Some ideas in criminal justice, however, are so general that credit need not be given. Ask your instructor when in doubt. Cheating is defined as any intent to deceive the instructor in his or her effort to grade fairly. Anything that can possibly affect the fairness of grading is cheating, which is interpreted to mean any collaborative, mischievous, or deceitful behavior.  The school's policies on Cheating are quite strict: the instructor cannot grade any related assignments; and upon reporting the incident to, can order a grade of F and/or suspend the student from the college.

DISABILITIES POLICY:

Any student with a disability that is within the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act must inform their instructor at the beginning of the term of their special needs, including equipment that they feel are essential for completing the requirements of this course. Students with disabilities must self-identify before any accommodations can be made. The Disabilities Coordinator in Student Support is the appropriate party to contact and prepare an accommodation plan. The instructor will make every effort to provide reasonable accommodations when and where appropriate. Students with disabilities who believe that they may need accommodations in this class are encouraged to contact the Office of Disability Support Services as soon as possible to coordinate and implement accommodations in a timely fashion.

FINAL NOTES:
Conduct: Please remember, this is a class supervised by Clayton State University, and you are representing the college. In the last several years, our interns have been a source of pride to our college and this department. Please conduct yourself in a manner that will reflect well upon yourself, your family, and your school. Failure to conduct yourself properly will be cause for an F in the class and you may be dropped from the Internship Program. We believe this class will be an interesting and positive experience for you and hope you will make the most of this opportunity.

Drug Testing: Many agencies now require a drug test (along with a criminal records check) for new employees, and they often adopt this requirement for interns. Some agencies also require a polygraph. I hope you do not use drugs, even on an occasional basis.
