Use the University of Arizona Global Campus Library to locate a journal article encompassing topics such as policing, school programs, and community-oriented policing, which help support your evaluation of the case/individual you chose. Conduct a search for additional information on their case, their trial, and the individual’s situation. Then develop a short presentation of the case. In your presentation,

• Provide a brief history of the individual selected, and identify the risk factors and protective factors you see with the juvenile.
• Evaluate these factors through the lens of the life course theory. Does the concept of persistence or desistence come into play with this juvenile?
• Briefly summarize the journal article you found in the University of Arizona Global Campus Library. Which type of crime intervention/prevention strategy is being addressed, and how does it apply to your chosen case/individual?

Your presentation will be a combination of slides containing visuals and bullet points, as well as narration of the content.
