The "Unabomber," The "Zodiac Killer," and the "BTK Killer" were all serial killers who remained at large for a long time. The Zodiac Killer has still never been captured.
Choose any of the three killers named above and create an 8- to 10-slide presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint that covers the following points: •Describe the killer's activities and victim selection. •Determine the killer's typology. •Describe and critique the investigation: ◦Were the police methods effective? ◦Are there investigative tactics or resources available today that would have been of assistance in the investigation? ◦How did the police and other agencies work together? ◦Did the investigators engage the public in any way, to assist in the investigation? •Describe how the investigation ended, or its current status.
One of the biggest challenges in serial killer investigation has always been the challenge of recognizing that different victims may be connected to the same killer. In the wake of the Bundy cast, the FBI created the ViCAP. •Describe the ViCAP program and why it was inspired by the Bundy case in particular. Is this an effective resource? What type of serial killer in particular would a program like ViCAP be used for? •Describe the Combined DNA Index System CODIS and answer the same questions as above. •Discuss why it is difficult for law enforcement agencies to work together when they are faced with a case such as that of an active serial killer. Should local law enforcement turn the case over to the FBI in these situations? Why might a Sheriff, in particular, be less willing to turn over control?
The Assignment (2–3 pages) • Describe two technologies and explain how law enforcement might use each to apprehend criminals. • Explain any privacy issues related to the two technologies you selected. You may reference the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution to support your response. • Explain whether or not individuals who choose to use technology (i.e., the Internet, mobile phones) have given tacit consent for the use of personal information. Include a description of what constitutes "personal information." Support your Application Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are to provide a reference list for all resources, including those in the Learning Resources for this course.
The Assignment (2–3 pages): • Explain at least three stereotypes related to women professionals in criminal justice. • Explain how each stereotype may have come to exist. • Explain possible challenges women professionals in criminal justice may face because of the stereotypes you identified. • Explain how women professionals in criminal justice might address the challenges you identified.

Then describe any factors related to the special population that may have influenced the outcome, and explain how these factors did so. Finally, explain how the outcome may have been different had the crime involved another population.
A case brief is an organized, written summary of the essential elements of a judicial opinion. They are useful tools to assist you in learning to analyze the law. To brief a case, you must first carefully read the assigned cases to gain an overall understanding of the facts of the case, the decision rendered by the court, and the reasoning behind the court’s decision. You will summarize what the justices said in the case. Write your brief as if you’re trying to explain your case to a classmate.

Your essay will always start with the question followed by the answer.
Jon Benet Ramsey was a six-year-old beauty pageant contestant who was first reported kidnapped by her parents but, several hours later, was found dead by her father in a remote basement room of their house. The Jon Benet Ramsey case was extensively covered by the media (especially television), using film footage of the pageants Jon Benet had entered and usually won.
The police and much of the public believed Jon Benet’s parents, John Ramsey and Patsy Ramsey, were involved in the death of their child. The Ramseys never appeared before the grand jury, which was desired by the police, because the district attorney thought they did not have probable cause. The Ramseys claim in their book, The Death of Innocence, that they “offered to testify before the Grand Jury, but they were never subpoenaed.”
John Ramsey and his friend Fleet White were sent by the police officer left in charge to search again throughout the house for Jon Benet. Ramsey recounted: “We head down stairs, and I take Fleet over to the broken window pane and explain my breaking in their last summer. We look for glass splinters and find some small ones.” Does it not appear strange that this wealthy man would not have had the broken pane replaced? Remember this is now December and cold air is seeping into his basement. Why was it important for Ramsey to point out to Fleet that the window was broken in the summer from the outside? Perhaps because it was recently broken from the inside? Why Ramsey would break the window from the inside is of legitimate interest to investigators. Elsewhere in this text is a discussion of the difficulty an inexperienced person has in staging a crime.
Sometimes a killer makes an effort to disguise a crime. Several means can be employed to make a death appear accidental or explainable, to misdirect the efforts of investigators, or to conceal the perpetrator’s own involvement. This possibility is further supported by the anomalous kidnap note in the Ramsey case. Among other unusual things was its length (about 400 words), compared to an average length of about 40 words (as in the first Lindbergh ransom note).
Write an essay based on the information below:
In a minimum of 2 pages, write a paper that starts by identifying at least four different types of evidence that is found in the Ramsey case and then focuses specifically on the glass evidence in the Ramsey case.
After reviewing Ramsey case, you learned that the broken window in the basement in the middle of December was a key piece of evidence in the case.
What is the first officer's responsibility at a crime scene and what was done or not done in the Ramsey case? Describe how to collect and preserve glass evidence. Would the way the glass evidence at the crime scene was documented, collected, and preserved have any impact on the examination results at the lab? Support your conclusions. Was there any other evidence in the case that concerns you as an Investigator, why or why not?
Define – then compare and contrast – line-item budgeting, performance budgeting, planning programming budgeting system (PPBS), and zero-base budgeting (ZBB).
Directions to student: The final paragraph (three or four sentences) of your initial post should summarize the one or two key points that you are making in your initial response. You will be writing three or more discussion posts per week.
Your main post must be two to three substantive paragraphs 150-200 total words and include at least two APA-formatted citations/references. Please follow up with two subsequent replies to colleagues. Each reply should consist of a relevant paragraph containing 100 words or more.
1) I need a framework (system of assessment) to write the essay as the question is too broad.
2) Choose 3 actors to talk about from the following: - Media - Voters _ Politicians - Bureaucrats - Pressure groups
3) The key broader themes to consider for each actor within the coursework question are: • What their intentions and objectives are? • The methods by which they exhort the system to meet these objectives? • How successful they are at meeting their objectives and the consequences for the system at large?
4) The critical analysis you show in explaining why only certain actors are considered is extremely important. Given the focus on the empirical evidence in the lectures it should seem obvious that strong answers will pull upon the literature to provide empirical justification for the chosen actors a) having an influence, b) the strength of the influence they have.
5) Please include at least 8 sources with in-text citations.
To demonstrate what you have learned this week, you will write and submit a 2–3 page paper designed to give you experience with formulating and writing down your thoughts in a problem-solving, ethical-choice context.
Consider again the “Betrayal” hypothetical:
Your client Jane is accused of her husband’s murder. An eye-witness who will not be shaken on cross-examination mistakenly identifies Jane as the killer. Jane was at a hotel out of town at the time of the murder but paid in cash, did not sign the hotel register, and the clerk does not remember seeing her.
Your state has the death penalty. Jane will be acquitted if you forge her signature on the register. Putting forged documents into evidence is a felony. But it is the only way to save her. You do it.
Assignment:
Write a 2–3 page paper that in simple language translates and applies the major philosophical and ethical concepts identified in this unit, including:
Teleology Deontology Relativism Virtue Justice In your paper, you are expected to:
Address each of the major concepts. For each concept, explain what would result by its application to the facts. Consider the questions: Was it right for you to forge your client’s signature on the register? Would your answer be the same if the client was your child, spouse, or parent? Articulate both the positive and negative outcomes of each solution. What is gained in the real world? What is lost? Does any solution satisfy all competing interests? Apply the arguments advanced in the video “To Defend a Killer” to justify one solution or another. Paper Format:
Your essay should be typed, double-spaced on standard sized paper with 1" margins on all sides Use 10-12 point Times New Roman or similar font. Include a page header in the upper right-hand of every page. To create a page header , click on "Insert" in Microsoft Word and then "Header." Your header should contain the first 2–3 words of the title of the paper, insert five spaces, then give the page number, e.g., Ethics - Client Representation 1. Your title page should already include the page header (described above). In the upper half of the title page, type your full title, your byline (names[s] and affiliation (university, etc.) centered on separate lines. When using APA format, follow the author-date method of in-text citation. This means that the author's last name and the year of publication for the source should appear in the text, e.g., (Jones, 1998), and a complete reference should appear in the reference list at the end of the paper. Submit your Assignment to the Dropbox by the end of Unit 1.
Choose two scholarly articles pertinent to sentencing. These articles must be published within the last three years. Integrate those resources to discuss the practical implications of alternative and innovative sentencing options. Finally, integrate within your discussion the impact of a Judeo-Christian viewpoint on the viability of such new sentencing options.
Before completing this discussion, listen to the entire lecture on criminal profiling (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDHIigFqLD4&feature=youtu.be) and read the three brief profiling cases at the end of the lecture outline. Note that each "case" refers to a series of crimes committed by one offender. Each case involves a different offender. These cases are so brief that you cannot complete the full profiling process explained in class lecture, but you can apply some of the decision making process (learned in lecture) to identify some offender characteristics. For this discussion, for each case, identify one offender characteristic other than gender and race/ethnicity (all of these offenders were white males). Be sure to use the decision making process learned in the lecture to identify an offender characteristic for each case, and in your posting explain which part of the decision making process you used to determine the offender's characteristic. This will give you a little bit of practice in the profiling process before you finish the profiling learning project (which will be completed with different cases). Example of what you might write for one case: "The decision making process includes a consideration of the time the crimes were committed. For case X, the offender killed each victim between 10-11 pm at night. This led me to decide that the offender was not expected to be home at that time of night, so he probably does not have a wife or live with a girlfriend."
