Case Study

Peter is seventeen and in with a bad crowd. They terrify everyone in the neighbourhood. His parents don’t seem to be able to do anything with him. His father drinks a lot and neighbours think he abuses his wife and children. The boys knock passers-by off the pavement, break windows, steal garden decorations, shop lift and are generally violent and aggressive.  They paint racist slogans everywhere and beat up some of the young ‘fellas’. They also round up the youngsters and encourage them to help with pestering the local shop keepers, by breaking their goods or stealing their sweets and cigarettes off the counters. The local community leaders are asking the police to intervene and bring these ‘hooligans’ under control.

Submit an essay of 2,000 words which:

  • Uses some psychological theories of aggression to explain possible reasons for his behaviour, set in the context of a nature – nurture debate.
  • Describes research studies and findings to support these theories.
  • Evaluates these theories in terms of their strengths and weaknesses.

You may refer to a variety of resources, including books, journals, video documentary and e-resources.

In the Bedroom

“In the Bedroom” is a film adaptation of Andre Dubus’ short story “Killings”. The film was very much lauded, receiving Academy Award nominations and The New York Times considering it the best picture of the year. The story was actually republished in a new compilation of Dubus stories and it was entitled “In The Bedroom” with a preface by the film’s director, Todd Field.

Your assignment: Discuss one element of fiction: for example, character, plot, style (use of language-now substituted by use of filming technique, I suppose), point of view—theme–and reflect on what works better for you-the film or the story? The director took a relatively short story and turned it into a 2 hour movie. Perhaps you feel the story and its adaptation stand alone and are both effective and equally compelling. Do not overthink it–this is a reading response.

Is the death penalty a just sentence for this crime? What alternative punishments might be appropriate? Does the death penalty deter others from committing similar crimes?

/in /by

Death penalty

After completing a thorough investigation into the robbery and serving your search warrant, both of your suspects were found guilty at trial. The next step of the Criminal Justice System (the sentencing phase) will begin. Because victim Roberts was shot in the head and killed, the State is seeking the death penalty for Steve Chapman. He has an extensive violent criminal history (convicted felon), and shows no remorse for victim Roberts or his family.

As the lead detective, you have completed your investigation into the robbery and homicide. You have served the search warrant and found all of the evidence that you were looking for. You and your team have collected all of the evidence and interviewed witnesses, the victim, and the suspects.

Because of your hard work in this case, the State’s Attorney has asked for your thoughts on the method of punishment for Steve Chapman. Compose a professional quality email to the State’s Attorney detailing your thoughts on the following:

Is the death penalty a just sentence for this crime? Explain your answer.
What alternative punishments might be appropriate (if any)?
Does the death penalty deter others from committing similar crimes?

E.g. see section of book reviews here:
