Plagiarism

Plagiarism is a very serious academic offense. A few students plagiarize in an attempt to cut corners or to cover academic deficiencies. Other students, unfortunately, plagiarize because they don’t understand the concept of plagiarism and the methods for avoiding it. In either case, students are held accountable for their actions, and the penalty could be as severe as dismissal from the institution” (Prentice, 2004, p. 7)

Prentice, C. (2004). Introduction to the APA and other writing tips for graduate students.

Provided a response on what plagiarism is and how to prevent it.
Responses needs to be a minimum of 150 words.
You need to provide 2 references from articles.

Example of an in-text citation with the associated reference.

Providing proper care and improving patient outcomes, nurses must collaborate with members of other health professions. In 2010, the World Health Organization supported interprofessional education, to strengthen global healthcare, students must learn with, from, and about members of other health professions (Jakubowski &amp; Perron, 2018). When I was the Director of Nursing Education, the nursing program, EMS program, criminal justice, and MA program all worked together on mock scenario day. The students loved working with the other disciplines.</p>

Describe indeterminate sentencing and how the parole works. Describe determinate sentencing. Explain the concept of “good time”

/in /by

Sentencing

Until the 1970s, most states provided inmates with a mechanism for early release at the discretion of a parole board under an indeterminate sentencing model. “Good time” was used as a mechanism for early release for determinate sentencing whereby inmates were eligible for a day reduction in their sentences. Since that time, determinate sentencing increasingly gained dominance until only very recently, when some states have started to question whether they should revert back to an indeterminate model. For this assignment, compare each sentencing model and provide examples of both.

Your 900–1,050-word essay should:

Describe indeterminate sentencing and how the parole works.

Outline the pros and cons of indeterminate sentencing.

Explain the concept of “good time”

How does the 4th Amendment apply to police entry into a person’s home? What is needed for police to obtain a warrant to search a home? Under what circumstances can police enter a private residence without one? Could police have entered Mary Ellis’s home legally without a warrant? To what extent, if any, could police legally gather evidence from the Ellis home without a warrant?

The 4th Amendment

The Fourth Amendment to The Constitution of the United States reads:

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrant shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the person or things to be seized.”

Fruit of the Poisonous Tree

The exclusionary rule is a mechanism for protecting 4th Amendment rights by, in some circumstances, disallowing illegally gathered evidence from being used against a defendant at trial.

Consider the following scenario: A Case of ‘Who did it?’

Mary Ellis, a widow, lives in a townhouse that she shares with her adult son, William, who does not pay rent. Mrs. Ellis awakens on a Saturday morning and goes to her walk-in closet, where she finds a man whom she recognizes as a neighbor, Clyde Stevens, lying on the floor unresponsive. Mrs. Ellis calls 911. Minutes later, police and EMS personnel arrive. Mr. Stevens is pronounced dead from an apparent stabbing, as he has a large butcher knife protruding from his back. Mrs. Ellis, a senior citizen, is transported to the hospital for observation, quite distraught.

Police establish a crime scene and call for detectives and crime scene specialists, who arrive and begin to investigate. Detectives begin a canvass and interview Clyde Stevens’s wife, Sheila. Mrs. Stevens tells police that William Ellis has entered her townhouse several times unannounced and on one occasion appeared to be trying to get into her bed. Mrs. Stevens gives the police consent to search the house for any potential evidence that might identify her husband’s killer.

Crime scene investigators actively process the scene. In William’s bedroom, technicians develop a blood fingerprint adjacent to a light switch, using an amino acid stain, after locating the print using the absorptive properties of blood and a portable argon laser. The crime scene investigator photographs the print and recovers a sample of the blood for DNA analysis. The print is from the right index finger of William Ellis, and DNA analysis matches the blood to Clyde Stevens. On the basis of this and associated evidence from the Stevens and Ellis residences, an arrest warrant is issued for William Ellis.

William is arrested in Utah and extradited to Illinois to stand trial. His lawyer files a motion to exclude evidence.
