To provide the mayor with some perspective, you need to research crime statistics on drug-related crimes, especially among the youth, using the Argosy University online library as well as the Internet (government or other reputable websites).
Tasks:
Prepare a 6–8-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation that addresses the following:
- Describe how the operating structure of organized crime may include the use of youth gangs.
- Describe the methods used by organized crime groups to profit from the inclusion of youth gang members.
- List any differences in criminal activity among the organized crime groups you have researched.
- Create at least one chart or graph that supports your opinion with some facts and figures you found from your research on drug-related crimes, especially among the youth. (Do not just copy a chart or a graph that you find). Be sure to provide some explanation of the data you are presenting.
- Use the Notes section to provide a deeper exploration of each topic. Remember, this is your presentation that you will make to the mayor.
- Include a cover slide and at least one slide at the end of your presentation to provide APA-formatted references for the sources used, linking back to your in-text citations and supporting your recommendations. You cannot have only in-text citations or only references; you must have both.
Submission Details:
