Today groups are working in the ARC. Below are the rest of the assignment descriptions for each part of the "pink sheet."

5. Problem Statement. This should be 3-5 sentences describing your issue. There are so many global problems, why is your problem the most important? This must be an original statement. Below is a problem statement on domestic violence from: http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/Kits/Family/probst.htm

Not long ago, what happened within the home was considered to be a private, family matter and was excluded from scrutiny by the public. During the last two decades, there has been an increase in awareness of the seriousness of child abuse and neglect, spouse/partner abuse, and elder abuse not only as critical societal problems but as crimes. As a result, there has been an increase in the use of the criminal process in addressing family and domestic violence. National incidence reports and research studies reveal the dramatic increase in family violence and the increasing tendency to respond to the problem not only as crime within the family but also as the prevention of crime outside the family.
