Write a research paper on your assessment of the role of human services professionals within a particular area of practice (e.g., evidence-based practices, drug treatment practices, use of technologies, medical models). The practice you select should be related to your area of interest, relevant in today’s human services field, and focused toward a specific population.
To complete the project, address the following:
(This topic will be the topic for this essay: Job training programs for those leaving incarceration.)
Identify a particular program or area of practice that you would like to explore such as one of the following: job training programs for those leaving incarceration, nutrition programs for pregnant teens, special in-school tutoring programs for at-risk youth, and programs designed to help empower communities (reducing crime in communities, limiting the establishment of bars in communities, increasing urban gardening to provide food, etc.).
Identify and analyze three articles from current literature that inform the program or practice area you selected through theory or issue-specific research.
Write an 8- to 10- page paper (including title and reference pages) that explains the history of the program or practice area you selected, its current status, and how it is evolving today within a region or country (use the U.S.) Then, describe any policies that govern the program or practice you selected.
