This module’s assigned reading by Bush and Matthews explores the distribution of federal funding for reintegration programs across the nation. Criminal justice professionals agree that more than one approach is necessary to address the emerging needs of the prison population. The assigned reading also explores the most prevalent recidivism reduction strategies in the U.S.
Law enforcement officers play a vital role in the process of reintegration. Their roles include relationship building in the community. To build trust within communities’ law enforcement agencies, law enforcement professionals must maintain integrity, honesty, ethical conduct, and conduct police work unbiasedly. Bush and Matthews (2023) describe five strategies essential to building trusting collaborative relationships between law enforcement and the community.
Please review these strategies and create an action plan based on these strategies. The action plan can be geared towards the community or within a criminal justice institution. The action plan should be in a narrative format. You will list the strategy and follow the list with an explanation of how you would implement it in the setting you chose. Discuss and use at least two of the strategies, explain the logic used to determine why the strategies are important, and then summarize how to implement an action plan.
