1. Examines, in detail, one or more sustainable solutions to an environmental issue.
2. Written as a scientific article, including an abstract, introduction, materials and methods,
results, discussion, conclusion, and literature cited. You are welcome to use tables and
figures, but be sure to reference them in the article, caption them, and place them after
the literature cited section. Use articles from the journal Ecology as a guide. *Note: you
do not need to format your writing into justified columns.
3. Cites at least 15 articles from peer-reviewed literature that have been published within
the last 10 years. The citations must support the point being made. If you make a claim,
you should cite it with at least one source! For some sections, nearly every sentence will

4. DO NOT EVER quote from a scientific article, even if you attribute it. You must write
everything in your own words. Anything else is plagiarism.
5. Citations must be formatted correctly, both for in-text citations and the literature cited
section. Use the journal Ecology as a guide.
6. Article should be at least four pages long, not including the literature cited section or
tables and figures.

Immigration Reform/Theoretical Approaches

/in /by

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of the final exam is to allow you to not only obtain information and knowledge about major theoretical approaches to understanding the causes of crime, but also transition you into thinking about what you do with this knowledge. You will write a (7-10 pages double-spaced) persuasive/argumentative essay. A persuasive/argumentative essay uses reason to show that one idea is more legitimate than another idea. It attempts to persuade a reader to adopt a certain point of view or to take a particular action. This type of essay must present evidence, facts, empirical data, statistics, theories, or examples, in order to defend ones claims. You are required to use information you have gathered from your readings over the course of the semester. Outside research is welcomed, but you will be graded on how well you summarize, integrate, and utilize information from the required readings from this course.

ESSAY QUESTION: You have just been named United States Secretary of Homeland Security. The U.S. government is considering the largest immigration reform policy in the history of the country. You have been asked to produce a report on whether the history of Mexican Americans and their struggle for civil rights is related to border identity, politics, policing, violence, militarization, and migration. You must first explain the history of Mexican Americans

named Police Chief of Las Cruces. Congratulations. The Las Cruces Police Department is undergoing the largest reform in its history and has chosen you to lead this endeavor. You will implement new policies to address current law enforcement issues impacting all Departments throughout the United States. But first, you must explain the theoretical foundation and underpinnings for your new policies. In order to achieve this, you must define, explain, and rank the top five theoretical frameworks that best explain the causes of crime, deviance, and criminal behavior. Furthermore, you must argue why these theoretical frameworks are important to understand in order to alleviate future crime in Las Cruces. Be sure to define and explain each theoretical framework and compare and contrast the theories to one another. You will be graded on your ability to connect the required readings from class to your argument. Again congratulations and good luck.

You may use any theoretical framework covered in class: Classical School, Positive School, Chicago School, Differential Association, Anomie Theory, Subculture Theory, Labeling Theory, Conflict Theory, Social Control Theory, Gender-Based Theory, Rational Theory, Critical Criminology.

Governmental Price Setting

/in /by

PLEASE USE THE ATTACHMENT

This competency assessment assesses the following Outcome:

BU224M2-2: Examine changes in price and quantity caused when governments take actions to modify market outcomes.

In a perfectly competitive market, the equilibrium price and quantity represent the most efficient operation of that market. Optimum efficiency means that sellers cannot be made better off without, at the same time, making buyers worse off, and that buyers cannot be made better off, without making the sellers worse off. This Assignment presents a scenario in which a government tries to improve the financial position of the sellers, in such a perfectly competitive market, by instituting a legal price floor that is significantly above the equilibrium price. A price floor is the lowest price for which a seller can legally sell the product.

In this assessment, you will demonstrate your understanding and ability to correctly calculate the consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus both before a price floor is established and after a price floor is enacted. Additionally, you will demonstrate an understanding of the impact on the entire economy, based on any changes in taxes required, if the government is to purchase any extra product that is not sold to consumers.

This assessment presents a scenario in which a government tries to improve the financial position of the sellers, in such a perfectly competitive market, by instituting a legal price floor that is significantly above the equilibrium price. A price floor is the lowest price for which a seller can legally sell the product.

Directions:

Using the Word template provided in the Minimum Submission Requirements, answer the following questions based on the situation.

Questions

Suppose that the Gondwanaland chairman of production, who sets the governmental price floor for gosum berries, in an effort to assist the gosum berry producers to have a higher income, sets the price floor at $70 per barrel. In that particular year, the amount of gosum berries produced at the $70 price floor was 700 barrels per month. To support the price of gosum berries, the Chairman of Productions Office had to purchase 400 barrels per month. The accompanying chart and diagram shows supply and demand curves illustrating the market for Gondwanaland gosum berries.

(Description: The diagram shows a graph with the Quantity along the horizontal axis and Price along the vertical axis. A blue downward sloping line, labeled D represents the Demand curve for the data in the accompanying chart. A red upward sloping line, labeled S represents the Supply curve for the data in the accompanying chart. The point where the two lines cross is labeled E and represents the Equilibrium Quantity and Price. A gray dotted line extends downward from the point labeled E to the horizontal axis and points to the quantity of 500. Another gray dotted line extends from the point labeled E and extends to the right to the vertical axis and points at the price of $50. A black line crosses the graph to the horizontal axis at a price of $70 and is labeled Price Floor. A red dashed line extends from the point where the black line crosses the red Supply curve and extends down to the horizontal axis and points to the quantity 700. A blue dashed line extends from the point where the black line crosses the blue demand curve and extends down to the horizontal axis, pointing to the quantity of 300.)

a. In the absence of a price floor, the maximum price that a few of the consumers are willing to pay is up to $100 per barrel of gosum berries. The market equilibrium (E) price is $50 per barrel. How much consumer surplus is created when there is no price floor? Show your calculations.

b. How much producer surplus is created when there is no price floor? Show your calculations.

c. What is the total surplus when there is no price floor? Show your calculations.

d. After the price floor is instituted, the legal minimum price that can be charged by suppliers is $70 per barrel. The maximum price that a few of the consumers are still willing to pay is $100 per barrel of gosum berries. With the price floor at $70 per barrel, consumers buy 300 barrels of gosum berries per month. How much consumer surplus is created with the price floor? Show your calculations.

e. After the price floor is instituted, the Chairman of Productions Office buys up any barrels of gosum berries that the producers are not able to sell. With the price floor, the producers sell 300 barrels per month to consumers, but the producers, at this high price floor, produce 700 barrels per month. How much producer surplus is created with the price floor? Show your calculations.

f. The Chairman of Productions Office buys any barrels of gosum berries that the producers are not able to sell. With the price floor, the producers sell 300 barrels per month to consumers; but the producers, at this high price floor, produce 700 barrels per month. How much money does the chairman of productions office spend on buying up gosum berries? Show your calculations.

g. The Emperor of Gondwanaland must collect taxes from the people to pay for the purchases of surplus gosum berries by the Chairman of Productions Office. As a result, total surplus (producer plus consumer) is reduced by the amount the Chairman of Productions Office spent on buying surplus gosum berries. Using your answers for problems d, e, and f above, what is the total surplus when there is a price floor? Show your calculations.

h. How does this compare to the total surplus without a price floor from question c above? Is it more, or less, and by how much?
