Each student is required to complete an 8-10 page research paper on a current issue facing law enforcement leaders, utilizing at least 8 scholarly references, and written in APA Style. The paper should have 8-10 pages of content, not including the title page, abstract, and reference page.

Identify the issue, provide examples and statistics to demonstrate the extent of the issue, and provide solutions and implementation strategies.

Note that references used for your research need to be government documents and/or websites, weekly course material, and peer-reviewed/scholarly journals. These journals typically have the following characteristics:

1. articles are reviewed by a panel of experts before they are accepted for publication;
2. articles are written by a scholar or specialist in the field;
3. articles report on original research or experimentation;
4. are often published by professional associations;

What principles should guide the U.S. Supreme Court in deciding whether to adhere to one of its precedents?

/in /by

1. What does the Court mean when it says, “Stare decisis is not an inexorable command; rather, it ‘is a principle of policy and not a mechanical formula of adherence to the latest decision’”?
2. What would it mean for the American system of criminal justice if stare decisis actually were an “inexorable command” or “a mechanical formula of adherence to the latest decision”?
3. Should the doctrine of stare decisis apply differently in the highest court of a jurisdiction than in its lower courts?
4. What principles should guide the U.S. Supreme Court in deciding whether to adhere to one of its precedents?
5. Compare the Court’s decision in Payne with its ruling in Lawrence v. Texas, 539 U.S. 558 (2003). Why did the Court follow precedent in Payne, but reverse it in Lawrence?
6. Research how the changes in January 2017 to the Clean Water Act affected criminal prosecutions for pollution of the water? What are your thoughts?
7. Statutory rape is a strict liability crime in many jurisdictions. Under this statutory approach, a defendant does not have to intend to have sex with a minor to commit the crime. Even more, evidence that the victim appeared to be an adult or that the defendant was misled by the victim about his or her age are not defenses to the crime. Consider whether fairness (due process) or some other constitutional provision is violated by a strict liability statutory rape statute.

Aileen Wuornos
Make sure you provide the following:
1. Give a thorough description of the criminal's background (life story).
2. Utilize course material to explain the criminal's behavior to include geographical mobility, victimology, modus operandi, and signature
3. Discuss how psychological theories and research contributed to the apprehension, prosecution, understanding and/or treatment of this criminal.

The paper should be of high quality, free of spelling and grammatical errors, and of original work. Plagiarism will not be permitted and occurrences of it will result in the procedures outlined in the "Student Handbook."

Write a  proposal about who’s more likely to recitivate, a person on probation or a person who has finished their sentence.

You must submit a full research proposal by the end of the semester. The aim of this assignment is to put the material into practice and to face the challenges of thinking through the methodological stages of your proposed study.
How should it look?

1. Introduction of the issue

1a. Clear statement of the problem

1b. Purpose of the study

1c. Significance of the study/ what will it add to the literature

2. Literature review (include a total of 5-10 peer reviewed sources – helpful tool for lit review can be found under “Content”)

2a. Current literature/studies related to your issue/problem

2b. This includes defining key terms and identifying problems identified in specific research

3. Research question/s followed by hypothesis/ hypotheses.

3a. Question: propose a relationship between 2+ variables in the form of a question

3b. Hypothesis:

-Declarative statement of the cause and effect relationship

-Be specific!

4. Research Methodology:

4a. Definition of variables (i.e. dependent, independent, and their nominal and operational definitions). Please note that the definitions must be of the main variables examined in the hypothesis/ hypotheses, and/ or research question.

4b. Definition of population

4c. Sampling method and rational

4d. Sampling method and statistical power issues while stating the proposed sample size to be used

4e. Research design

4f. Data collection method (i.e. observation, in-depth interviews, meta-analysis, surveys etc.)

4g. Proposed data analysis plan

5. Risks and Benefits / Confidentiality Issues

6. Policy Implications

7. Bibliography list

Note! If you want feedback, you must submit a draft before 05/16.

Before submitting the final “product” ask yourselves these questions:

What is my topic?
Does my literature review correspond with that topic?
Do my research question/s and hypotheses correspond with the topic and literature review in that they offer to supplement it?
Is the population definition relevant and appropriate for the topic and research question/s and hypotheses?
Does my sample size allow me to achieve the goals of my proposed study? (Again with SP issues)
Is the sampling technique you are offering appropriate for the proposed study?
Does the design correspond to the literature review, question/s and hypotheses?
Is the data collection method you offer the most appropriate for the scope of your study?
Each of the above questions/ guidelines will help you determine how solid the proposal is (i.e. how valid it is).

Criminologically analyze a movie of your choice, using seven terms or concepts from class or the text.

/in /by

Assignment: Criminologically analyze a movie of your choice, using seven terms or concepts from class or the text. You are free to choose any terms or concepts you like, but you must illustrate them by providing examples from the film, to demonstrate that you understand the meaning of the term, and its proper application.

The following format should be followed:

Three to Five pages (not including title or reference page), typed. Pages should be numbered, double-spaced, with 1 1/2-inch margins at top and left, 1-inch margins at bottom and right. Format errors will result in deductions of 5 points for each infraction. Any paper, which incorporates ideas other than your own, must have references, which are properly cited.

The exam will be scored as follows:

Summary: If the summary clearly and concisely describes the movie, it will receive 10 points. If it goes into a rather lengthy discussion of the storyline, it is not truly a summary and will receive 5 points. If there is no apparent summary, it will receive 0 points.

Each Term: 5 points if correctly illustrated, 5 points if correctly used in the sentence. Terms must be highlighted in boldface print, minus 15 points if not.

Conclusion: 5 points if present, 0 if not.

Proofreading: 15 points

Note: For each missing concept or topic area, 10 points will be deleted from the total score.

Project Proposal: A paragraph detailing which film you’ve chosen to analyze, why you’ve chosen this film, and your initial plans for your research.
