/in /by

After reviewing the textbook topics and course learning objectives, students will select a subject of interest for a 7-10 page research paper supported by a minimum of 5 academic peer reviewed sources. The paper is due at the end of Week 7.

The paper is to be double spaced, with 1″ margins all around, Times New Roman, 12 pitch; no other style or pitch is to be used in the paper. Students who opt to utilize larger fonts, or add extra spacing beyond regular double spacing, and or put in margins larger than 1″ all around will as a minimum see a full letter grade deduction.
The following are the six course learning objectives from which you can base your topic:

Examine the organizational structure and the administration process of the U.S. justice system.
Differentiate among the various components that influence the administration of the criminal justice system.
Describe the use of force and the use of discretion in criminal investigation.
Examine the administration of the courts when addressing sentence alternatives.
Analyze the American correctional system and its use of alternative programs when administering justice.
Identify common ethical issues that occur in the criminal justice system.
Research paper topics must be based upon one of the six course learning objectives. When submitting the paper by the end of Week 7, students must identify not only the topic of their research paper but also the course learning objective with which it is aligned as part of the Abstract.

When writing your research paper be sure to focus upon the aspect of criminal justice that you are addressing from the perspective of the course learning objective with which it is associated. You must support points made in the research paper with scholarly resources. Your personal opinion must be limited and will not be a determining factor in the final grade. Instead, your grade is determined by how well you support your argument utilizing the materials discussed in this course and research and reference material you locate.

What I do not want is a regurgitation of what is in readings. Expand on the material; do not repeat it. Direct quotes should be used sparingly and limited to instances where the original meaning would be lost if not directly quoted; all quotes must be in quotation marks. Similarly quotes do not count toward minimum length. Document your facts utilizing standard APA style 7th edition.

This paper is to be submitted to me as indicated on the Course Schedule and Grading Policy Summary Table. The paper is to be in APA format and the body of the paper is to be between 7 and 10 pages. The body of the paper does not include the title page, table of contents, any and all quotes, images, charts, appendix or references. This is to be of high quality, free of spelling and grammatical errors, and of original work. Plagiarism will be dealt with harshly, and at the least will be an automatic 0 on the paper. You are to title your paper by your last name. For example, my paper would be called “conkey.docx” with “.docx” being the MS Word file extension.

You must submit your research paper to this assignment as a Word document. Other formats will not be accepted. The date of your submission is based upon the date you successfully submit your research paper in the correct Word format.

Explain why evidence must be relevant to a case being investigated to be admitted into court.

/in /by

Class characteristics are very useful to eliminate a person from being the suspect in an investigation. If a shoe impression is clearly a size 12 men’s shoe and the person who may be involved wears a size 8 shoe, even though the soles may be the same pattern, clearly the footwear impression made by the suspect cannot have been from the shoes of the person being interviewed. In the same consideration, if a suspect has 8 pairs of shoes and is a size 12, but only one pair has Panama Soles—the pattern left by the suspect at the scene—then only one pair of shoes needs to be examined (the one with the Panama Soles—the most common sole pattern in the United States).

Research the following points, and write a 4–6-page paper fully explaining each point:

State and explain why evidence must be relevant to a case being investigated to be admitted into court. Cite 2 items of evidence that would likely be considered irrelevant as evidence, and explain why they would be irrelevant.
In the United States, there are forensic databases that are accessible to law enforcement and corrections to assist in identifying unknown persons. Name 3 of them.
In the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) there are two specific indices. One pertains to forensics and the other to offenders. Explain the two different indexfktes and what they do.

Do you think that the mentally ill should be incarcerated with the general population in jails? If not, what should be done with them?

/in /by

Discussion 1: Do you think that the mentally ill should be incarcerated with the general population in jails? If not, what should be done with them?

The mentally ill should not be placed in the general population of prisons, if they have to face charges they should be placed in their own building or level within the prison with doctors and guards who are trained to take care of them properly. This is because if a mentally ill person is placed in prison, they will be easily taken advantage of or easily abused. The guards will not know how to handle them properly when they start to act out and resort to violence like they would with the other inmates. A mentally ill person should go to a mental facility where they will serve their time, being away from the general public, and taken proper care of and handled correctly as well as getting the treatment and medication or therapy they need. An article from the National Alliance on Mental Illness stated, “Once in jail, many individuals don’t receive the treatment they need and end up getting worse, not better. They stay longer than their counterparts without mental illness. They are at risk of victimization and often their mental health conditions get worse. After leaving jail, many no longer have access to needed healthcare and benefits. A criminal record often makes it hard for individuals to get a job or housing. Many individuals, especially without access to mental health services and supports, wind up homeless, in emergency rooms, and often re-arrested. At least 83% of jail inmates with a mental illness did not have access to needed treatment. Jailing people with mental illness creates huge burdens on law enforcement, corrections, and state and local budgets. It does not protect public safety. And people who could be helped are being ignored.”

Discussion 2: Do you think that the mentally ill should be incarcerated with the general population in jails? If not, what should be done with them?

As discussed in the last class, the number of mentally ill inmates is skyrocketing, whether that be due to lack of awareness, information, acknowledgement, or simply the proper resources. More often than not, mentally ill individuals are being arrested and placed in general population in jails and prisons, which, in my opinion, should never happen. Some mentally ill individuals require a level of specific care and monitoring that simply cannot get done correctly in a general population. Not to mention, not all other inmates understand these mental issues, which may cause issues to arise between their peers, which could put all parties in danger. According to a journal posted by World Psychiatry, “The presence of mental patients in prisons does not only deprive them of their right to proper treatment and care, but also leads to possible maltreatment and stigmatization. It is an ethical obligation to stop both.” In order to preserve their health and dignity, these individuals should be moved to specialized treatment centers, like psychiatry wards where they can be monitored and TREATED properly; easier said than done, I know. But unfortunately, the guards in jails and prisons are not extensively trained on mental health and how to approach these issues, which makes it difficult for me to understand why they would be expected to do just that.

Obviously, we do not live in a perfect world where everyone’s needs are accurately and quickly taken care of. But when twenty percent of the population in U.S. jails are severely mentally ill, change has to happen.
