Part 1 Write a APA formatted presentation using Minimum 3 Reference minimum 2 pages:
You have just returned from a meeting with the local Chief of Police. He tells you that law enforcement officers are discouraged about making arrests in the areas of domestic violence and child abuse. Lately, they have been either not making arrests in domestic violence situations or arresting both parties when they go out on a call. It seems that abused women often go back to the abusers and children who get removed from the homes where they have been abused often return to their homes after removal. As an intern with Crime Victim Compensation program you need to help educate law enforcement on domestic violence and child abuse.
The Chief invited you to do a presentation on each of these topics for their next training session. Here is what the Chief wants you to highlight:

Part 2 & 3 Create Intake form & Evaluation (minimum ½ page) /Assessment Form (minimum 1/2 page):
Recently there have been several serious stalking cases reported, including one in which the victim became a victim of homicide. Seldom do stalking victims or the family members apply for any compensation for which they may qualify, such as counseling services and compensation for missed work to attend legal proceedings.
To help ensure proper identification of stalking victims, you are putting together an intake, evaluation, and assessment instrument for use in taking information on stalking situations. Be sure to check stalking statutes and cite the elements of the crime of stalking on your documents.
Create an intake form that can be used to get important information from alleged victims of stalking.
Create an evaluation and assessment form based on the intake form you have created that will help rank the seriousness of the threat from the suspect who is stalking.
Your forms should reflect contemporary information and legal definition of the crime of stalking, and what factors distinguish the most serious situations.
