“what are the key aspects of the debate centered around this policy? 

This is a compare/contrast essay. You may look at any controversial or debatable criminal justice policy anywhere in the world. Any good debate revolves around costs and benefits–so what are the costs and benefits of the policy that you are choosing to examine?

Again, I recommend first scanning the textbook for a topic that speaks to you, then afterwards conducting a basic google search for contrasting positions on your policy choice. Once you’ve figured out a few contrasting positions, incorporate expert points of views.

Say, for instance, you chose to analyze “stop & frisk”, “COMSTAT” or China’s “Strike Hard” campaign. You would first want to look at what advocates of the policy have to say, then you’d want to analyze criticisms.

Ask yourself, for example, if the criterion used to assess “stop and frisk” (a “tough on crime policy” that generates safer neighborhoods and lower crimes rates) is “true”. Even if “true”, is this the correct basis for assessing the policy? Why not look at the psychological damage to those who’ve been stopped and frisked–and whether this leads to incarceration–and further recidivism?
