Movie Case Study Essay

You will write a case study report that applies your theory to the protagonist in your movie of choice from a pre-determined list. You must consider environmental, legal and individual factors but focus on arguing why your theory of choice best explains why the protagonist has engaged in criminal behaviour.

Task Description:
-Provide a profile of the protagonist.
-Discuss their demographics (age, gender, socio-economic status, location), the characteristics of their offending behaviour and the history of their offending behaviour
-Outline your chosen theory.
-Explain the central principles of the theory (what does it try to explain?) and briefly examine the literature of the theory (refer to the articles in your annotated bibliography)
-Outline critiques of the theory
-Apply your theory to the protagonist.
-Examine and discuss how your selected theory explains the behaviour of the protagonist
-Provide examples to support your argument
-Highlight any deficiencies of the theory – what can it not explain?
-Your case study should have an introduction and a conclusion and follow one cohesive argument about how your theory explains the behaviour of the protagonist.

Critically analyse some of these theories, analyse their applicability in relation to your work setting, and develop them where applicable. Develop practical strategies for workplace crime prevention through application and development of common theoretical crime prevention approaches.

Crime Prevention

Unit 2 explores the theories that seek to explain crime motivation. You will critically analyse some of these theories, analyse their applicability in relation to your work setting, and develop them where applicable. From an understanding of crime motivation, you will develop practical strategies for workplace crime prevention through application and development of common theoretical crime prevention approaches.

Critical Thinking Assignment Part IV

Assume the following:

You are a Santa Monica Police detective. You’re investigating a murder case and the primary suspect is a man named Timothy Escobar. The case is still under investigation and charges have not yet been filed by the District Attorney’s Office.

Escobar is in custody at the Ventura County Jail for a burglary case that is unrelated to your homicide investigation. Charges have been filed in the burglary case. Escobar has already been to court for his arraignment and is represented by counsel on the burglary case.

In order to complete your investigation, you need to interview Escobar.

Submit a paper of at least 500 words which addresses the following: Does the law allow you to interview Escobar? Explain why or why not, including the circumstances under which it would be lawful and circumstances under which it would not be lawful. Explain specifically what you’d do as a detective in regard to interviewing Escobar.

Evidence Informed Practice Report

You are working as a researcher and have been asked to address a challenge presented to you by the Forensic Capability Network.

The challenge is as follows:

‘’Police services need to be confident that crime scene investigators are gaining reliable information from the aggrieved, are using this information to target their examinations appropriately, and to inform appropriate evidence recovery in volume crime cases’’

Students must produce a 2000 word (+/- 10%) report setting out their evidence based recommendations for how the Forensic Capability Network could look to address their challenge.

Students must use the following structure for their report:

Introduction (100 max)

A brief generic summary of what the report will set out to do. Do not go into details of the challenge here.

The challenge (400 words)

Explain the challenge that has been presented.

In this section you must:

● Explore who is impacted by this challenge – think about links to artefact one and the wider process.

● Briefly discuss the impact of the problem on current practice, and quality implications.

● Set out the different areas that you believe are important (for example does this problem relate to technology or techniques, are there human factors elements that might be important)

● Set out any other key observations that you have made about the challenge (these may have been informed by your own practical experience)

Evidenced based recommendations (1200 words – approx 400 words per recommendation)

Make three recommendations for approaches that the Forensic Capability Network could take to address the challenge:

These could include one or a combination of the following types of approach:

● Ideas informed by the literature (forensic science or wider)

● Approaches adopted to combat similar challenges in other domains (which you can cite in the literature). An approach could constitute a range of different things – processes or procedures to put into place, pieces of technology that could be used, management techniques used in other domains

● Pieces of experimental work that the Forensic Capability Network could engage in (you could use experimental work to explore the problem more fully or to investigate potential solutions) – if you are going to discuss experimental work then make sure that you are detailed and specific in relation to what should be done.
