Sample Discussion Board Post for Criminal Justice
Submitted by Melissia Anderson

Effective writing is so important to criminal justice professionals for many reasons. According to
Wallace and Roberson (2009), it is estimated that we use 70% of our time communicating. This may be
accomplished either verbally or in writing. A verbal communication is considered less formal, while a
written statement is lasting and given more significance. Because written statements are permanent,
they are assessed as more significant. A report filed by a law enforcement agent can be used for the
prosecution or defense of a defendant in a court of law. Inaccuracies in a written report can result in the
failure to convict an individual of a crime. The legal ramifications of unclear or imprecise writing can be
substantial. An officer must be able to explain the reasons a report is written and filed. They must be
able to defend errors in their reports. Under oath, they will have to testify from the contents of the
report. Criminal justice professionals must be able to not only file written reports, but to draft narratives
that are comprehensible and logical for others to grasp (Wallace & Roberson, 2009).

Working in Pretrial Services I know that clarity is particularly essential. If our court officers do
not precisely note the judge’s terms or conditions of release, a defendant may inadvertently violate
their release. It could cost the individual their freedom. Many times, the judiciary may be vague when
defining terms of release. In this instance court communications must be sent to distinguish the original
intent from the judge. It wastes valuable time and court resources to clear up ambiguous conditions.

Plagiarism involves stealing another person’s ideas or works and using them as your own.
Sometimes this can be blatant, like copying sentences word for word without using quotation marks. In
other situations, it may be less obvious, such as paraphrasing content from another source but not citing
it. This; however, is still plagiarism because that content originated from someone else’s ideas or
research, not your own. Plagiarism in this instance can be avoided by simply using an in-text citation at
the beginning or the end of the paraphrased content. It is always a good idea to cite a source rather
than chance an allegation of plagiarism (Keiser University, n.d.). Stealing from another can destroy the
credibility of any criminal justice professional. Because they represent the law and courts, law
enforcement agents need to be above reproach.
