Purpose: To visually summarize the data to help others to clearly understand the information you would like to present on your selected criminal justice policy issue. Infographics aim to allow the reader to draw conclusions. This tool is often used at conferences or created by agencies and organizations to educate the public on criminal justice issues. Working in the criminal justice field, it is likely you will be asked to present information to the public, fellow practitioners for training, or to Administration and your knowledge/use of this tool will support you in that work in the future. Remember, your Capstone Project Assessment has an infographic required as part of its criteria so this is a piece of that Assessment. You will receive feedback on your infographic at this point in the semester so you will be able to make adjustments if needed before you submit your Capstone Project Assessment with your final infographic. This assessment supports SLO 2 and scaffolds to the Module 11 Capstone Project Assessment.
