The assessment should highlight the ways the initiative connects to the five core elements of community justice as identified by Karp and Clear and taught during the course.
You must use a minimum of five scholarly resources to support your position, analysis, and arguments.
Proper title page, grammar, spelling, and APA format citation required.
