Methods of research

1.)If you were writing a research proposal based on your own interests and career goals, what area of criminology and criminal justice would you want to study? WHY?

2.)How would you avoid the common errors of human inquiry such as inaccurate observation, over-generalization, selective observation, illogical reasoning, and ideology and politics that we discussed in the text this week?

3.)What would be the purpose of your study (see p. 12-13) and why is that a needed area of improvement in criminology and/or criminal justice?

4.)Finally, which of the methods discussed briefly in chapter 1 (see p. 17) do you think best fit your idea, and why?

Provide one paragraph for each question.

 

Did Hanousek have the required mental state (mens rea) to be convicted of a crime? Why or why not? Which theory discussed in the chapter would enable a court to hold Hanousek criminally liable for violating the statute if he participated in, directed, or merely knew about the specific violation?

Criminal Law and Cyber Crime

Edward Hanousek worked for Pacific & Arctic Railway and Navigation Company (P&A) as a roadmaster of the White
Pass & Yukon Railroad in Alaska. Hanousek was responsible “for every detail of the safe and efficient maintenance and
construction of track, structures and marine facilities of the entire railroad,” including special projects. One project
was a rock quarry, known as “6-mile,” above the Skagway River. Next to the quarry, and just beneath the surface, ran a
high-pressure oil pipeline owned by Pacific & Arctic Pipeline, Inc., P&A’s sister company. When the quarry’s backhoe
operator punctured the pipeline, an estimated 1,000 to 5,000 gallons of oil were discharged into the river. Hanousek
was charged with negligently discharging a harmful quantity of oil into a navigable water of the United States in viola-
tion of the criminal provisions of the Clean Water Act (CWA). Using the information presented in the chapter, answer
the following questions.

1. Did Hanousek have the required mental state (mens rea) to be convicted of a crime? Why or why not?

2. Which theory discussed in the chapter would enable a court to hold Hanousek criminally liable for violating the
statute if he participated in, directed, or merely knew about the specific violation?

3. Could the backhoe operator who punctured the pipeline also be charged with a crime in this situation? Explain.

4. Suppose that at trial, Hanousek argued that he should not be convicted because he was not aware of the require-
ments of the CWA. Would this defense be successful? Why or why not?
