Annotated bibliography on Rikers Island
For this annotated bibliography, you will research a minimum of nine sources in total, including at least one each of the following types: peer-reviewed articles, scholarly resources, and professional resources that are considered to have reliable information. (Professional resources exclude popular news sources (e.g., Newsweek, Time, People, New York Times, and any television news source) and online open sourced materials like Wikipedia.) At least six of your sources must have been published within the last ten years.
The resources provided with your chosen scenario are permitted to be used as sources for your Intervention Plan, but news articles (even those included with the scenarios) are not permitted for use in the Annotated Bibliography assignment. Thus, it will be necessary to expand into more generalized research in law enforcement or corrections as it relates to your chosen scenario. For this assignment, you are researching for the Intervention plan so locating sources on the following topics specifically related to law enforcement or corrections may prove valuable: management and leadership, corruption, ethics, human resources, professional development, communication, media, community relationships and other topics specifically covered in the Intervention Plan.

Rikers Island The officers and inmates there were part of what officials with the Department of Investigation and the Department of Correction described as a network of contraband smuggling and other criminality at Rikers that undermined security at the jail complex and contributed to violence. The search also uncovered stashes of marijuana, tobacco, and weapons. In just one measure of the rising levels of violence, there were 1,844 uses of force by corrections officers at the jail complex from January to May 2014, a number that had doubled for that time period for each of the previous three years according to the Corrections Department. Also during this period, there were 274 drug recoveries and 868 weapons confiscated, the department
said.
