Numbered Response for Questions on Burglary

- What are the steps to investigating a burglary?
Clemens (2013) argues that burglaries are the most common crimes that the patrol officers respond to in America. The police officers opens an investigation that helps them solve the case. For a successful investigation, several steps must be followed. First, officers should approach the crime scene with caution. This is because the perpetrators may still be in the crime scene. They should also always be alert for suspicious individuals. Secondly, Clemens (2013) states that the crime scene should be secured as this makes it easier for police officers to collect evidence. ...

A loophole enables several victims to avoid the law. Therefore, a loophole is a form of refuge in audacity, which allows the victims to claim that they were following the rules and the truth is that they are guilty (Marshall 2005). However, in this case, the loophole is not really a loophole because there is a possibility that the victim was wrongly convicted. It is the responsibility of the judge to defend his client against any injustice. Since the DNA contamination that was supposed to clear the victim guilty or innocent was unlikely, therefore the society should not condemn the victim without clear ...

Introduction

DNA testing, also referred to as genetic fingerprinting is a technique that is employed by forensic scientists and police investigators in solving law enforcement cases. This genetic fingerprinting has been in existence since 1984 but recently, a new technique for solving crimes has emerged. This is known as familial DNA.

Familial DNA is a technique that allows police detectives to search and complete family tree in the process comparing evidence gathered form a crime scene to its close DNA matches (Familial DNA, 2010). The investigation may consequently hit on some of the people related to the individual who committed the crime and ...

The digital forensic process constitutes a three-step procedure involving acquiring the digital evidence, an analysis of the evidence and a comprehensive report on the analyzed evidence. In the past, when a digital crime was thought to have been committed, the first response ...

One empirical example found in Chapter 5 is the statement that the most important about Kansas is that it’s ahead of the crowd in terms of women’s rights (Frank 90). This statement encompasses an assumption that the State of Kansas is the most prominent place in terms advocating women’s rights. This assumption could have significant implication toward the people’s perception gender equality in the United States. Part of the evidence provided for this assumption suggests that women’s rights was established in Kansas due to the proposed end of suffrage 1867 and was fully achieved ...

Classical conditioning is the process of learning whereby an unconditioned stimulus is paired with a conditional stimulus. It is a process of behavior modification in which the subject responds to a previously neutral stimulus in a desired manner when it is repeatedly presented along with an unconditional stimulus. There have been various speculations by different literature on the possibility of conditioning emotional responses, but the experimental evidence has usually been lacking. There has been a suggestion that there must be a way in which stimuli can call out emotions. John B. Watson and Rosalie Rayner decided to put the matter to test through the little ...

The ‘exclusionary rule’ is a rule based on the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution which prohibits unlawful search and seizure. The exclusionary rule mandates that evidence seized in violation of the terms of the Fourth Amendment is not admissible in court and should be excluded at trial; it is an attempt to deter police misconduct and prevent them from usurping the constitutional rights of citizens. It is a rule which was originally expressed in Week v. United States, 232 U.S. 383 (1914); in 1961 the Supreme Court made the exclusionary rule applicable to the states in the case ...

I agree with the fact that there is a complete lack of respect for the elderly in today’s societies. However, the issue of lawsuits is complicated because most of old people suffer in silence and they may not have evidence to indicate that their rights have been abused. The aged people have always played an important role in society of advising the young people, but this role has been thrown into the dustbin in the 21st century. This is because many people think they are a burden to them. Ageism has thus completely destructed the role that the old people ...

The best evidence rule is codified in the Federal Rules of Evidence. Rule 1002 provides that, unless otherwise provided by the federal statutes, an original recording is required in order to prove its contents.

Rule 1004 allows not to require the original evidence if it is impossible to obtain the original by any available judicial process. The court may also admit the summary of the original evidence, ...

Discussion Questions and Answer

1. Where are the obligations of parents to children rooted – in love or biology?
Obligations of parents are rooted in love, not biology because ultimately, children should be seen first as God’s children before they become parents’ children. Thus, it does not matter whether children are biologically yours or not, they are all God’s children entrusted to your care so you should love them as they are and not because they are your own or not.

Wounds, whether due to lacerations or incisions, disrupt the integrity of the skin as the body’s first line of defense against infections. Blood vessels are similarly injured resulting in bleeding and significant bleeding if large blood vessels are involved. Hence, wounds must be managed promptly to promote hemostasis, prevent infection, maintain normal body function, and achieve the best cosmetic results (Pfenninger & Fowler, 2010). The method of wound closure is an important consideration as certain methods are better suited for specific types of wounds.
There are various procedures employed in closing wounds, namely suturing, skin stapling, taping, ...

1. In Judy Rebick’s essay The Culture of Overwork, her purpose is effectively to re-examine the cultural norms of ‘overwork,’ defined here as a pattern of workaholic behavior characterized by long hours, high stress, guilt at unfinished work, etc. Judging the essay by standards of completeness and the relevance of the essay’s support, Rebick’s essay is somewhat solid, though there could be further support and elaboration on her part to further prove the inherent ethical and physical problems with overwork, as well as finding solutions for the problem.

In her arguments, Rebick makes use of ...

Part 1 Video Critique

In the first part of this assignment, the video chosen to do the critique is an Amateur video of the anatomy of the Archaeopteryx (http://bit.ly/1vImeVp). The Archaeopteryx was an animal that lived about 150 million years ago, in the late Jurassic period. The video starts with several images of various fossils of Archaeopteryx. The narrator begins by citing Darwin’s theory of evolution and states that this theory “predicted that we could find fossils of intermediate forms: creatures that bridge the gaps between modern species”. Then, the narrator introduces the Archaeopteryx, and points out that this animal “ ...

Commitment is key to the lasting of a marriage. In most successful marriages, the level of commitment from the partners is high enough to shut down all the possible forces of separation. Often, couples confuse fidelity with commitment, a situation, which results in unhappy relationships. Numerous psychological explanations bordering on commitment dominate most discussions involving human relationship. Obviously, this article summarizes such explanations while making comparisons with the human genealogy and its overall influence in individuals’ resistance to temptation. However, there are two interesting points that stand out through the discussions evident in the article.

Firstly, it is interesting to note ...

Different methods in archaeology are used to aid in reconstructing the evidence of history based of artifacts and ecofacts revealed on an archaeological site. It is also important to employ different methods in order to open the study of different interpretation until such evidence is supported and proven. Each interpretation is accompanied with logical facts based primarily on physical evidences from historical facts. It has been proven that Archaeology is important in rebuilding history, especially if written records are not available. As such, Pre-historic data are primarily provided by Archaeological information.

Report face sheets play a very important role in the investigation process as they provide documentation of all the persons and property pertinent to the investigation. In relation to people, the report face contains various categories of people. One category is the suspect or possible suspects; these are the people whom facts and or evidence point to their having committed or played a part in the crime (Biggs, 2012). Another category is the victims, which category contains the list of people who were injured or complainants of crime. This category may contain primary as well as secondary victims.

The Miranda warning is a rule which provides that the police must give criminal suspects in the custody of the law enforcement officers, in the United States, a warning before they can ask questions about what took place during the crime. The rule is exclusionary in that any evidence that is obtained with the violation of the Miranda rules can be successfully suppressed in a court of law. The rule was mandated by the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in 1966 in the case of Miranda v Arizona. This decision was made in order to protect the Fifth ...

I think Amanda makes many good points. However, I think the reasons she states for the privilege objection being the most common objection is a little convoluted. I think the most common privilege asserted is the attorney client privilege if only strictly because the value of evidence the attorney has is very high. Essentially, the attorney has the keys to the case, and inadvertent releases of attorney communicates can have extremely damaging effects to a lawsuit. I think the medical privilege, or the confessor privilege is less because not every case will use those types of witnesses – however, nearly all ...

Facts: This case was filed by Ernesto Miranda and his 3 other co-defendants for failure of the investigating officers to warn them of their rights before conducting the custodial investigation. The defendants were charged for the crimes of rape, kidnapping and robbery. During the interrogation, the investigating officers failed to inform the Miranda of the legal consequences of the oral admissions made in the presence of the police officers (Burgan 25). Miranda claimed that the officers promised that they will drop the robbery charges if he will confess to the crime of rape. Miranda admitted that he had raped ...

The rule against hearsay provides that a statement made out of court may not be admitted into evidence in order to prove the validity of the assertion made. The Federal Rules of Evidence provide the definition, limitations, and exceptions to the rule against hearsay in Article VIII, rules 801-807.

As concerns the first scenario, Quincy’s physician is on the witness stand and is asked by Edward’s attorney whether or not Quincy told him that he fell because he lost his equilibrium as a result of dizziness. This is not hearsay for a number of reasons. Firstly, under rule 801(d) ...

According to Rule 801 of the Federal Rules of Evidence, Hearsay is a statement that is either: (1) the declarant does not make while testifying at the current trial or hearing; and (2) a party offers in evidence to prove the truth of the matter asserted in the statement. Essentially, hearsay testimony is 2nd hand knowledge that if presented in court would violate a parties sixth amendment right to confront a witness against him. Allowing hearsay testimony would provide a backdoor for admitting evidence that could not be appropriately challenged by the opposing side.

In the first fact pattern, Quincy’s physician is testifying ...

Introduction

Ideally the investigating officer clearly violated the Brady Rule. The officer would instead have had relied on the fourth witness, a situation that would provide more and reliable information regarding the suspect. It will be realized any information obtained from witnesses provided that they are mentally fit and unbiased should actually be relied on since people may have differing views concerning an event.

Studies extend to reveal that the Brady Rule requires all prosecutors to reveal materially exculpatory evidence within the possession of the government to the defense. Generally, the evidence that the prosecutor is actually required to reveal with ...

Question 1

Ballenger’s statement implies that, despite the fact that a researcher ought to use a source in his or her research, he or she is not eligible to directly copy the works incorporated in the source. The relationship between a researcher and the source becomes complex in this context in that, owing to the fact that a researcher should use resources and closely relate his work to the source in which he retrieved facts and supporting evidence, he or she should not quote the work directly but somewhat present the ideas or rather the supporting evidence using his or her own words.

The term de minimis is an abbreviated form of a Latin term “de minimis non curat lex” which loosely states that the law does not care for small things. It refers to the legal doctrine where a court adjudicating over a matter refuses to be drawn into trivial matters or to consider petty matters. This common law concept was expressed in the English decision of the “Reward” in the year 1818 and also restated by Justice Robert Seigmann of the Illinois Appeal Court in the case of People v Durham.In a law suit coming for adjudication, the court applies this doctrine ...

Weeks v. United States (1914), was a Supreme Court petition appeal for which Weeks had been convicted. The Court solidly agreed that a warrantless confiscation of property from a personal place of residence constitutes a breach of the Fourth Amendment. The case led to prevention of evidence securing in the federal exclusion rule by police officers who later gave it to the federal officers

Silverthorne Lumber v. U.S. (1920). Here, the question was to allow or not to allow products of illegal evidence in court, which would allow police to dodge the Fourth Amendment. It was held that the evidence was not admissible ...

Overall advances in the field of science and technology bring forth some advances in the field of criminal justice. There exist various innovations to crime scene investigations that are worth being emulated across various settings. More importantly, the use of alternative light source is perhaps the most recent innovations with regards to crime scene investigations. Speaking ...

Fictional crime shows and real crime shows share some similarities as well differences. For example, both shows attempt to unlock the mystery of crime scenes in a logical and systematic manner. Nevertheless, fictional crime shows also differ significantly from real crime shows. The differences arise in terms of the tools used for investigation, and the period required to solve the issues under investigation.

A good example of a real crime show is First 48. In season 10, episode 6, the detectives attempt to resolve the murder of a 28-year-old man stabbed to death while working in a smoke shop. In order to resolve ...

Different types of evidence, their importance and how an investigator would collect them

Evidently, there exist different types of evidences that should be collected by crime scene investigators across different crime scenes. Speaking of evidence, this connotes to either testimonials from witnesses or victims as well as physical evidence.

- Hair

Human hair occurs as one of the most crucial evidences that should be collected for use as evidence across different crime scenes. This type of evidence is noteworthy because it offers a viable platform that can disclose the possible identity of the person who committed a given crime (Klamberg, 2013). On a similar note, a comparison of human hair sampled derived from a crime scene can be carried ...

The evidence of the process of tool making is a clear indication of multiple elements of the human bicultural evolution. It is pertinent to note that the creation of different types of tools as well as their utilization underwent change over a long period. From the point when chimpanzees used stones as crude tools to handle different activities. The aspect of bicultural evolution was characterized by multiple innovations. The innovations can be outlined through the different levels and types of tools created and used during the evolution process. Moreover, the development of the different subsistence characteristics is another outright evidence of ...

Question one

Individualism designates the realization of individual projects while communalism means the realization of projects determined by values of collective group whose members have internalized the values. The internet provides technological resources for the purpose of socialization empowering the projects of various individuals of a particular network with similar subjects towards realization of either individualism or communalism. The internet causes the social life to continue indefinitely and thus the transition to and reliance over a network society. For example, individualism is evident when a person develops a personal website page which has the content of that individual for the purpose of constructing personal projects. ...

Three potential ground for objections to interrogatories are: privilege, relevance, and overbroad. I think that the three stated objections are very commonly used in pending litigation for a variety of reasons. The privilege objection is common because of the sheer volume of communication with an attorney, furthermore, the evidentiary value of a privileged communication is high so something potentially privileged is likely to be asked for. Relevance is a common objection because when attempting to litigate a case, attorneys might take a ‘shot-gun’ approach to discovery in order to build their case and ask for more information than is strictly necessary to prove a ...

Procedure and Facts

The two plaintiffs, who were minors, and their parents, commenced liability proceedings against the defendant, which was a pharmaceutical company. The plaintiffs were born with limb defects which they contended was not natural but rather by their mother’s use of Benedictin, a drug manufactured by the defendants. The claim was lodged at the Ninth Circuit court. The arguments from the opposing parties in the case elucidated differing opinions as to the more just, appropriate and reliable criteria for the admissibility of scientific evidence available. There existed an earlier common law rule, the Frye rule, which held scientific evidence must be ...

Expert witness vs treating therapist

There are many sorts of witness; some of the most important ones happen to be the Expert and the Therapist. The input of an expert witness validates the legal decisions at a tribunal (Campbell 2011). The expert is guided by facts and law; they are impartial to the person being trialed. On the other side, is the treating therapist, the professional witness, who regards only the patient’s health (Higgens 2007). The therapist can circumstantially be regarded as a witness because she is guided by the best interest of the patient (Reid 2010). Between both witnesses and how they present evidence, ...

Importance of documenting a crime scene

While much has been hypothesized on various activities that should be carried out in a crime scene, it is essential to note that documentation is perhaps the most significant factor that should be given an upper hand in the handling of crime scenes. Notably, documenting a crime scene is noteworthy because it offers crime scene officer’s viable avenues in which they can find crucial facts that are significant in building a solid case (Pepper, 2010). In addition, documenting a crime scene reduces the chances of jeopardizing the outcomes of court cases, which occurs in the case where crime scene evidences are not ...

Amanda provides a broad analysis of evidence and the rules regarding admission of evidence in regards to relevance, relying on Article IV of the Federal Rules of Evidence. Amanda further highlights Article VIII of the Federal Rules of Evidence for an elucidation of the rules regarding hearsay evidence presented in court.

In relation to the first fact pattern, where Edward’s attorney was questioning Quincy’s physician, the analysis is correct. Rule 803(4) provides that statements made for medical diagnosis or treatments are not hearsay statements. As the causal factors leading to the fall are directly relevant for the ...

1. Parol evidence rule refers to the evidence of previous or simultaneous oral rule that written contracts may not be varied, contradicted, or changed by any previous or contemporaneous oral declarations. Parol evidence is admitted when a written contract does not include or contradicts the oral understanding reached by the parties. Under the parole evidence rule, when the court finds that that written contract has represented the final and complete statement of the parties to an agreement, it will no longer allow either party to submit parole evidence (Miller, 2011, p.187).

DNA fingerprinting requires the use of certain methodologies and tools to ensure that the sequencing process of the DNA is accurate. DNA extraction is a critical step in DNA fingerprinting. To obtain the DNA, the source has to be living as I learned from the Utah site.

Certain additives are necessary in the extraction process. These include salt and alcohol. The salt helps the DNA to stick together while the alcohol is used for precipitating the DNA. The making of several images of the DNA requires the application of certain tools, which the Utah site provides a very good example. The ...

The Solar System is located at the spiral arms of our Galaxy is called the Milky Way. It is basically made of the galactic dick, globular clusters and the halo.
