Public Policy Analysis, political science homework help

15- to 18-page Final Project, you should include the following:

Executive Summary: Describe the public policy problem of interest to you, the scope of the problem, and a capsule summary of your recommended course of action. (1–2 paragraphs)

The public policy
problem to be analyzed concerns the issue of privacy and whether the government
should have the right to intrude on privacy
to protect the country. This policy issue has been
heightened in the wake of the Edward Snowden intelligence leak case
which exposed some of the surveillance operations by the government of which
the public, hitherto, was unaware.

Introduction and Problem Definition: Explain why the problem is important. Why should the decision-maker care about this issue? (1–2 pages)

Issue Analysis: Explain in detail, supported by scholarly resources, the scope of the public policy problem. You should describe the stakeholders (e.g., branches of government, interest groups, nonprofit organizations, media, the bureaucracy, etc.) connected to the problem. (3–4 pages)

Proposed Solutions: You are not expected to detail every possible approach to the issue you selected. However, based on your research, select 3 or 4 potential solutions that directly address the public policy problem you selected. It is important that you explain which stakeholders would be proponents and which would be opponents of each policy alternative you identify, and why, and the implications of their being for or against the alternative(s). You should make clear to the decision-maker the complexities involved with each proposed solution you analyze. (7–8 pages)

Policy Recommendation: Choose one of the alternatives to the public policy problem you selected and explain, based on scholarly materials you have examined, why it t is best suited to address the problem. Be sure to address opportunities and challenges of implementing your recommendation given any relevant political, social, economic, or cultural considerations. Additionally, explain what, if any, social justice and/or ethical issues are impacted by your recommended policy alternative. (3–4 pages)

You are expected to support your arguments and perspectives with citations in APA format. Approximately 5–10 scholarly resources, at a minimum, should be referenced within the Final Project.

  My chosen
recommendation to the decision maker is that the despite privacy being
fundamental rights of all citizens, as
prescribed by the U. S. Constitution, the government also has the legal responsibility to protect the lives and
property. In providing this protection, the government has to use all
necessary means to track and apprehend perpetrators, even if it means
monitoring those things- such as the internet, mobile communications, etc. –
that are for the benefit of good meaning citizens which are being used to
cause chaos as well. However, the government should make people aware of the
extra length that it will go to provide this protection and why it is going
that route.
