Analyze what your own station in the chosen society would be based on your own determinant factors and whether, perhaps, such factors could increase/decrease your chances at becoming an offender or becoming a victim of crime.

CJA: Race, Crime, Justice Power-Point Presentation

A multitude of factors influence how and if an individual moves within or between social strata in society. These determinant factors, along with the overall structure of any given society, have a large impact on how an individual is able to access basic services, such as education and health care, and thus greatly change the individual’s overall quality of life.

Requirements:

– APA 7th format

– No plagarism

Getting Started

Choose a character from a movie, a film-adapted book, or a play and examine the social structure in which that character exists. You should research the components of the character’s social context and describe how your chosen character exemplifies the characteristics of a typical person with their social position within the chosen social context. Research the effects of at least four or five determinant factors such as gender, race, and ethnicity and their effects on crime rates (offending and/or victimization). Once you have researched your character’s social context, you will create a PowerPoint presentation that exhibits how that character’s storyline would be different if three or four of those determinant factors were changed. How, for example, would the story change if the character were a man instead of a woman? Or of a different race?

At the end of your project, you will provide:

A 8-10 slide PowerPoint presentation you create, which:
1. Provides two or three screenshots and/or clips from the original film to provide an overview of the context in which the character exists
2. Shows how the character’s storyline would change if three or four determinant factors were different through detailed examples
3. Uses one or two concepts and theories and appropriate terminology from the text to explain the character’s society and their position in society

4. Analyze what your own station in the chosen society would be based on your own determinant factors and whether, perhaps, such factors could increase/decrease your chances at becoming an offender or becoming a victim of crime.

5. Compare the analysis of the character’s social mobility versus your own in the chosen society

6. Analyze how your current life would be different if you existed in the chosen social context

7. Cite three to five academic resources, one or two newspaper or magazine articles, and the film chosen

Week 6 Attempt

Using the Model Penal Code, answer the following:

1) Michelle needed money to pay her rent. She is behind 3 months in rent and fears being evicted. She decides to rob Capital One Bank. Michelle asks her roommate Cheryl to help her. They agree to split the money 60% Michelle and 40% for Cheryl. This was based on the fact that Cheryl was going to only purchase the items necessary to commit the crime, like the gun and ski mask, and agreed to be the lookout at the bank. Cheryl purchased a gun and ski mask early in the week. Midweek, she stopped into the local pub for a few drinks. She began telling the bartender about her plan to get money. The bartender said nothing. Later that week, before the robbery was to take place, Michelle and Cheryl went to get their nails done. While at the nail salon, they were arrested. As the prosecutor, with what crimes can you charge Michelle and Cheryl? Do their actions constitute the crime of attempt? Discuss why or why not. Use legal reasoning to support your response.

2) April and Troy have been unhappily married for years. April wanted a divorce, but Troy feared April would get too much of his money and the marital home. He decided it was best to kill her. He decided to poison her. He went to CVS and inquired of the pharmacist about needing a sleep aid for his insomnia. The pharmacist gave him a bottle of sleeping pills. Troy believed if he gave April several pills in her tea, she would die peacefully in her sleep. She drank the tea, but nothing happened but for a little drowsiness. Troy is charged with attempted murder. Will Troy be found guilty of attempted murder? Discuss why or why not. Use legal reasoning to support your response.

3) Share any similar cases that you found. How did conducting research and going through each step of legal analysis help you to reach this conclusion? Analyze how you applied critical thinking and legal analytical skills to assist you in this regard. What new research and/or analytical tool or method did you try for the first time this week? What do you think you do well and what would you like to strengthen so that you continue to improve?

4) Collaborate with each other as the week goes on to make all aspects of this Discussion as robust as possible.
