Week 1 Project: (Final Project Assignment) Problem Identification
Study the Final Project scenario carefully. Your first task is to analyze the problem and develop a plan for need analysis. In this problem identification document, please include the following information:
- How would you document the need for change? What data would you collect and analyze in order to define the problem?
- What do you believe may cause or be causes of the problem? Identify relevant research that supports your claim. For example, look at the literature on police brutality, police harassment, police corruption, or police-community problems.
- Identify relevant stakeholders. Who might be affected by the problem? What is their interest in the problem?
- Identify who is likely to support a certain course of action and who is likely to resist it? Present these barriers and supports for change in a force field analysis diagram.
Make certain that you support your analysis with proper reasoning and research data. Use structured text like bolding, headings, bulleted lists, and charts/tables where appropriate to increase the clarity of your communication.
