Week_5_Email_Comparison.pdf

Compare professional and non-professional correspondence.
  1. Compare and contrast Email 1 with Email 2 in Doc Sharing. Which email is professionally written? Which email is not professionally written?                                        
  2. Which email has all of the required components for professionally communicating?                                        
  3. Compare Report 1 with Report 2 in Doc Sharing. Which report would you be proud to read aloud in court? Remember, the District Attorney or State’s Attorney (Prosecutor) will ask a law enforcement officer, crime scene investigator, probation officer, parole officer, etc. to read his or her report aloud in court.                                        
  4. How important are format, grammar, vocabulary, and documentation? (Note: A judge will not sign a search warrant if the “Face Page,” that is, the title page, is not formatted exactly to every technical specification. It is also important to recognize the time-sensitive nature of many search warrants pursuant to public safety issues).                                        
  5. How important is APA format and learning how to format to avoid plagiarism when presenting researched material in court? (Could presenting researched material in court, not properly documented in APA format, jeopardize your credibility with a jury?)
