•
•
•
The Administrative Position Paper must be no less than twelve (12) discussion pages
but no more than sixteen (16) discussion pages in length. Margins which are too wide
will reduce your page count.
The Administrative Position Paper must be completed in Microsoft Word (products
such as Word Pad, Word Perfect and other similar software will not be accepted), typed
and double-spaced, using Times New Roman font, size 12 pts, and one-inch margins.
While extensive research is not the object of the Administrative Position Paper,
students shall use and list no less than fifteen (15) different scholarly reference sources,
using a standard APA** format. Multiple uses of a single source reference will detract
from your grade. Only one website is allowed. No news sources are acceptable.
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
I. The Problem
The statement of the problem tells the criminal justice executive what the difficulty is; what
problem is to be solved. No discussion is necessary at this point. In later sections you will be
elaborating on the facts, issues, solutions, etc.
The Problem does not count in the total number of pages required.
II. Factors Bearing on the Problem
This section includes facts or statements of truth which can be substantiated. For example,
“The average education level of the police officer in this city is 14.5 years (or high school plus
2 1/2 years college).” Another example might be, “Last year the citizens of this county only
reported 200 crimes in progress to the police” or “the jail population averaged 20% above
maximum capacity in fiscal year 1983/84.”
List each fact separately. (Use bullets to identify factors, however each factor MUST be a
complete sentence). Each bullet item must ONLY be two sentences. You are to have 4 factors
and if you require more, you must get permission from your instructor. Also, you must have
an introductory statement to this section explaining what the section means. This introduction
must be 2 -3 sentence ONLY. As an example the introduction statement could be: This section
of the paper will identify the four (4) issues that are directly related to the problem.
Also at the end of the listed factors, the student must list any assumptions which lend weight
to their final recommendation/solutions. Example: Assumption- It is assumed that if the
victims of crimes are compensated for their time spent testifying in court, more citizens will
be willing to become involved in prosecutions; or, it is assumed that better trained officers will
be able to more effectively communicate with the public. The assumption goes after the last
factor. The assumption must not be any more than four (4) complete sentences.
You are to color each of the factors. Then when you are writing your information on a factor
in the discussion section, you color the wording to match the factor. This way you have a clear
visual on how much information you have written on the topic. You may keep the colors on
the paper for each of the submissions, except the final submission.
The Factors do not count in the total number of pages required.
III. Discussion
The discussion section is the “meat and potatoes” of the Administrative Position Paper. It
contains the critical analysis of the problem and all possible factors researched. This is the
critical area for the student to show the professor and your administrator you have done your
research properly. This is the longest section. Cite all facts by using in-text citations. Nothing
in the Discussion Section should contain personal knowledge, experience, or opinion from the
author. Only facts—and —each fact must be formatted with an in-text citation according to
the APA format. Do not uses case studies and if you are going to use a personal
communication, you are only permitted to use one and it should be no more than one (1) short
paragraph. No charts, diagrams, case studies or long quoted material is to be used in the
Discussion area. If you need to use charts, diagrams, case studies or quotes, you must put
them into an Appendix and only refer to them in the Discussion Section. Material must be
paraphrased and provided a citation; however we will allow 15% of your entire paper to have
quotes. If you are unsure of what the difference is between paraphrasing and direct quoted
material, get with your instructor.
The Discussion does count in the total number of pages required. The Discussion should
be no less than twelve (12) pages and no more than sixteen (16) pages.
Rule: Four (4) Factors- Each factor should have 3 to 4 pages for each one.
IV. Conclusion
Now that you’ve shown how you reasoned through the problem, state a conclusion. The
conclusion is nothing more than a brief statement of the best possible solution or solutions
which you have described in detail in the Discussion section. You do not need to continue the
discussion. You should not introduce new material in this section. Example: “Although new
jails could be constructed to house more inmates, a new program of community custody for
first offenders convicted of nonviolent crimes would prove more cost-effective.”
The Conclusion does count in the total number of pages required. The Conclusion should
be only one (1) complete page.
.
Action Recommended This section does not have a Roman Numeral and goes after the
conclusion section. In this section you tell the instructor (and the criminal justice executive)
what your final recommended action is. Alternate possible actions have already been reviewed
in your Discussion section. You’re making a commitment to a single course of action.
Example: “It is recommended that the city hire five more prosecuting attorneys and three more
judges in order to make the court system more expedient.” You include several steps that must
be done in support of your action recommended, including a time frame for possible action
steps, and a budget if appropriate.
The Action Recommended does not count in the total number of pages required;
however, it must not be less than two (2) pages. Be detailed in your assessment.

The Problem
The statement of the problem tells the criminal justice executive what the difficulty is; what problem is
to be solved. No discussion is necessary at this point. In later sections you will be elaborating on the
facts, issues, solutions, etc. The “problem” must be approved by the instructor. (The Problem does not
count in the total number of pages required.)
II. Factors Bearing on the Problem
This section includes facts or statements of truth which can be substantiated. For example, “The average
education level of the police officer in this city is 14.5 years (or high school plus 2 1/2 years college).”
Another example might be, “Last year the citizens of this county only reported 200 crimes in progress
to the police” or “the jail population averaged 20% above maximum capacity in fiscal year 1983/84.”
?
?

List each fact separately.
Use bullets or capital letters to identify factors.
Cite any references used for these facts using APA style.
Also in this section, list any assumptions which lend weight to their final recommendation/solutions.
Examples: “It is assumed that if the victims of crimes are compensated for their time spent testifying in
court, more citizens will be willing to become involved in prosecutions; or, “It is assumed that better
trained officers will be able to more effectively communicate with the public.” (The Factors assignment
does not count in the total number of pages required.)
III. Discussion
The discussion section is the longest section and may be seen as the “meat and potatoes” of the
Administrative Position Paper. It contains the critical analysis of the problem and all possible factors
researched. It reviews the “pros and cons” of the issues raised and possible solutions. It provides
rationale for the eventual recommended solution(s). This is the area where you can show the professor
and your administrator that you have done your research properly. Cite all references. Nothing in the
Discussion section should contain personal knowledge, experience, or opinion from the author. Only
facts should be used, and each fact must be formatted with an in-text citation according to the APA
format. Do not use case studies and if you are going to use a personal communication, you are only
permitted to use one and it should be no more than one (1) short paragraph. No charts, diagrams,
case studies, or long quoted material is to be used in the Discussion area. If you need to use charts,
diagrams, case studies, or quotes, you must put them into an Appendix and only refer to them in the
Discussion Section. The Discussion should be no less than 12 pages. (The Discussion does count in
the total number of pages required.)
IV. Conclusion(s)
Now that you’ve shown how you reasoned through the problem, state a conclusion. The conclusion is
nothing more than a brief statement of the best possible solution or solutions which you have described
in detail in the Discussion section. You do not need to continue the discussion. You should not introduce
new material in this section. Example: “Although new jails could be constructed to house more inmates,
a new program of community custody for first offenders convicted of nonviolent crimes would prove
more cost-effective.” The Conclusion should be no more than 1 page. (The Conclusion does count in
the total number of pages required.)
Action Recommended
In this section you tell the instructor (and the criminal justice executive) what your final recommended
action is. Alternate possible actions have already been reviewed in your Discussion section. You’re
making a commitment to a single course of action. Example: “It is recommended that the city hire five
more prosecuting attorneys and three more judges in order to make the court system more expedient.”
You include several steps that must be done in support of your action recommended, including a time
frame for possible action steps, and a budget if appropriate. The Action Recommended should be no
less than 2 pages. Be detailed in your assessment. (The Action Recommended section does count in
the total number of pages required.)
References:
Finally, include a section entitled References which lists all of your references as annotated references
using the APA format. If you are unfamiliar with how to write an annotated reference, please review the
following website for this information http://www.library.cornell.edu/olinuris/ref/research/skill28.htm. The
reference page should be in alphabetical order. (The cover page and reference section do not count in the
