Instructions

No directly quoted material may be used in this project paper. Resources should be summarized or paraphrased with appropriate in-text and Resource page citations.

In this project, you will conduct one of the following: practitioner interview, criminal court visit, police ride-along, or correctional facility visit. NOTE: If you believe it is impossible for you to complete any of these experiential exercises due to circumstances beyond your control, contact your instructor who will arrange for an alternative project.

Practitioner Interview

Your task is to interview an individual of your choice involved in the criminal justice system: a police officer, attorney, judge, probation officer, researcher, current or former inmate, etc. (Note: Military personnel have the option of interviewing an equivalent person in the military.) Should your “expert” not be listed here, contact your instructor.

1) Provide the purpose of the paper and background information on the selected person.

2) Record the person’s views on the criminal justice system—whether the criminal justice system works, in what ways it doesn’t work, and the future of the criminal justice system.

3) Write the paper in a narrative format, detailing what you learned as the result of speaking with this person. Do not submit a “question-answer” paper.

4) Compare and contrast what your expert practitioner had to say with relevant instructional material from this course.  Additionally, include one outside source that either supports or challenges what your expert practitioner said.  

5) When using the instructional material or other sources, properly document and reference them, and cite all web sources.  You must include the name your practitioner.

 

Criminal Court Visit

Your task is to visit a criminal court session. (Note: Military personnel have the option of visiting the military equivalent.) Depending on when you attend, you could see a series of cases or only one case. Write your reflections on what you observed and how the proceedings seemed to affect the administration of justice.

1) Begin with a cover page with your name, project title, course, and date submitted.

2) Write an introductory section explaining the purpose of the paper.

3) Write your reflections on what you observed and how the proceedings seemed to affect the administration of justice.

4) Compare and contrast what you observed with relevant material.  Additionally, include one outside source that either supports or challenges what you observed.

5) When using the text or other sources, properly document and reference them.  The name of the court you visited must be included.

 

Police Ride-Along

This is an observational assignment that focuses on the use of discretion by the police officers who patrol our communities. (Note: Military personnel may participate in a ride-along with a military police officer.) Your task is to ride with a police officer for a few hours and observe who is stopped and why. Who is arrested and why? How does the use of discretion play into the patrol officer’s job?

1) Begin with a cover page with your name, project title, course, and date submitted.

2) Write an introductory section that includes the purpose of the paper and information on the assignment of the officer, his or her department, and the date, time, and duration of the ride-along.

3) Using a narrative format, provide the officer’s views on the use of discretion in his or her job, then follow this with your observations and conclusions based on his or her performance. Use the questions above to guide your observations and questions.

4) Use research information from class materials to analyze the information obtained.  Additionally, include one outside source that either supports or challenges what your officer said.

5) When using the text or other sources properly document and reference them.  The name of your officer must be included.

 

Correctional Facility Visit

Your task is to visit a correctional facility (adult, juvenile, military) and compare and contrast what you see with what the text indicates.

1) Begin with a cover page with your name, project title, course, and date submitted. 2) Write an introduction that provides the purpose of the paper and information concerning the facility visited.

Choosing a System: Jurisdiction Overlap

/in /by

You are a Wichita Police Department detective working in the major crimes unit, and you are assigned to a joint federal–state–city crime task force working on a number of major drug cases. Over a period of several months, your task force has been able to gather information and make cases on several of the drug suppliers, drug dealers, and drug buyers in the Wichita metropolitan area. The task force is about to complete its mission by filing criminal charges in the federal district court, the state district court, or the Wichita Municipal Court against these various suspects. These suspects will not be arrested until the warrants are issued.

Your job is to make recommendations concerning which jurisdictions should file the charges on which defendants. You will need to evaluate the criminal statutes and penalties in each jurisdiction and even the rules of evidence to determine where your task force has the best chance of obtaining a conviction and in getting the punishment to fit the crime.

The memo that you receive from your Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) task force supervisor explains the situation:

MEMO

Re: Charging Decisions

You are the primary investigator in the cases against Jones, Smith, and Thompson. As I review your reports, it appears that each of these cases has strengths and weaknesses that we should evaluate before we determine whether to file charges in the U.S. District Court, the Sedgwick County District Court for the State of Kansas, or the Wichita Municipal Court. I will summarize those strengths and weaknesses here to make sure I am reading your reports correctly. I need you to give me advice on where you think these charges should be brought.

Jones has been working for you as a confidential informant because you have evidence against him for a February 6, 2005 third possession of cocaine after convictions in 1993 and 1994. He appears to have followed the terms of his deal with you to introduce our undercover agents to his dealer. We have promised not to prosecute for any drug offenses he may commit in the presence of our undercover agent while playing the role of our informant. His assistance has enabled us to get sufficient evidence on Smith and Thompson to obtain convictions. Based on Jones’ two prior convictions for possession of cocaine, we would normally want him to go to federal court, where the maximum sentences are available. However, because of his cooperation, we could file the case in the Sedgwick County, Kansas, and district court under state law. We could even change the charge to a drug paraphernalia offense and send his case to the city of Wichita.

 

  • How do you think we should proceed concerning Jones’ February 6, 2005 cocaine possession? (30%)
  • He will probably plead guilty unless we send him to federal court. Where do you want to file the case? (20%)

 

Smith has sold cocaine to our undercover agents on two occasions: July 12, 2005 and August 3, 2005. We have found no prior record on this individual, but we believe that he regularly sells to his friends and acquaintances. Your report indicates it took several contacts between Jones and the undercover agent to persuade Smith to make those two sales. It also appears that although we have tried to make additional purchases from Smith, but he will no longer deal to either Jones or our undercover agents. Based upon the evidence, I do not think we will need to require Smith to testify against his friend, Jones, and we should have enough evidence to convict based solely upon the testimony of our undercover agents.

 

  • Where do you want to file this case against Smith? (20%)

 

Thompson appears to be a major dealer but not a local supplier to other dealers in the community. Jones brought our undercover agents to him on several occasions, but Thompson appears to be very wary of obtaining new customers he does not know personally. Thompson has never sold directly to any of our undercover officers, but our officers have personally observed Thompson selling cocaine to Jones on five occasions in March and April of 2006. Your undercover officers indicate that Thompson displays large quantities of cash, keeps major quantities of drugs in his hidden safe in the bedroom floor of his house, and has a number of firearms throughout his house. I believe that if we can get Thompson on these five drug sales made to Jones, we could leverage him to help us get to his supplier. The problem is using Jones, with two prior convictions for cocaine possession and working with us only to save himself, as a witness for the prosecution. I would like to obtain the higher penalties for drug sales and drug possession available in federal court, but we must determine whether Jones’ prior criminal record will be allowed into evidence. His credibility is crucial to getting Thompson convicted, but if the jury hears about his entire past, it might be difficult for them to convict Thompson.

 

  • Where do you think we should file the case against Thompson? (25%)

 

Provide reasons for each recommendation (in bold), and I will forward those to the prosecutors in these courts.

I need your help on this.

  1. A water pipe burst in the basement of Superfast, a grocery store, flooding the basement and damaging cases of canned goods on the floor.  The plumbing contractor’s workmen, in repairing the leak, knocked over several stacks of canned goods in cases, denting the cans.  After cleaning up, Superfast put the goods on special sale.
  2. Four weeks later Susan was shopping in Superfast.  Several tables in the market were covered with assorted canned goods, all of which were dirty and dented.  A sign on each of the tables read:  “Damaged Cans – Half Price.”
  3. Susan was having Guest for dinner that evening and purchased dented two cans of chicken, packed by Cansco, from one of the tables displaying the damaged cans. Before Guest arrived, Susan prepared a chicken pot pie which she and Guest ate.  Both became ill and the medical testimony established that the illness was caused by the chicken being unfit for human consumption.  The cans of chicken consumed by Susan and Guest came from the case that was at the top of one of the stacks knocked over by the workmen.
  4. Susan asserts a claim against Cansco based on negligence, what results? Although Guest may have a case against Superfast, and the plumbing workmen may have some responsibility, you are only to discuss Susan’s claim against Cansco.  What are the defenses which Cansco may raise?
  5. Find three cases that support Cansco’s defense in this case.  Write a short essay (minimum 500 word) defending Cansco.  Cite to your supporting cases by comparing and contrasting the similarities and/or differences between those cases and Cansco’s case.
  6. By submitting this paper, you agree: (1) that you are submitting your paper to be used and stored as part of the SafeAssign™ services in accordance with the Blackboard Privacy Policy; (2) that your institution may use your paper in accordance with your institution’s policies; and (3) that your use of SafeAssign will be without recourse against Blackboard Inc. and its affiliates.

/in /by

You are in a special warrants unit in a major metropolitan area that specifically goes after street crime suspects with violent tendencies and histories of resisting arrest by the police. You are new to the unit but have come from a very professionally run narcotics operation in which your previous team dealt with extremely violent offenders. The unit is made up of plainclothes patrol officers who carry silver badges and seasoned violent crimes detectives who carry gold badges. The badges are mounted in the outside of the police ID wallet and flip open when swung with the hand.

After about 3 weeks with the unit, you notice that everyone arrested by the unit has a welt on their forehead. You are tasked with taking a prisoner to the jail cell, and you get a close look at the welt, which reflects an obverse seal from the silver badge of the attached patrol personnel. When depositing the prisoner into the holding cell, you see another suspect who had been arrested earlier. He bears the welt reflecting the obverse seal of the gold badges of the detectives. You ask the prisoner you are placing in the cell how he got the welt, and he tells you that after he was handcuffed, one of the officers smacked him in the head with his badge and simply said, “Silver.” Upon returning to the office, you ask the supervisor about the welts on the prisoners. He laughs and says it is a competition between the silver badges and gold. Whichever group marks the most prisoners with their badge seal does not have to pay for any drinks at the off-duty party at the end of the month.

Note: This scenario is based on an actual antic of a narcotics unit operating in the late 1970s.

Please include answers in your main posting for the following questions. You must provide meaningful feedback to the main postings of at least 2 of your classmates.

 Financial Allocation

Prior to beginning work on this interactive assignment, read Chapters 6 and 8 in your textbook.

Within the market economy, companies and organizations strive to minimize risk and competition while maximizing profits. However, as mentioned in the text, law enforcement agencies, as government entities are unable to minimize competition or maximize profits while still working within parameters of supply, demand, and competition similar to other businesses.

While it is generally true that law enforcement agencies are unable to minimize competition and maximize profits, the same cannot be said to be true for correctional organizations. Private prisons have been a staple of the correctional field for decades. Most of these agencies are very profitable and continue to tailor their product to the demands of the public marketplace. If the supply of inmates and demand for additional space is necessary, a private prison merely uses a portion of its profits to build new facilities in an effort to maintain equilibrium.

For this interactive assignment, you will take on the role of a supervisor in either a law enforcement agency or a correctional organization. Once you have chosen your role, you must draft an executive summary in an attempt to redirect efforts by decision makers within the state government who wish to cut your organization’s operations budget. Your executive summary must address issues pertaining to supply, demand, competition, and cost minimization in order to influence those in the state government who would approve or reject the proposed budgetary cuts. (A Sample Executive Summary is provided by the Ashford Writing Center for your convenience.)

Create a one-page, double-spaced executive summary document applicable to your selected agency. Include the following content in your document:

  • Explain the elements of public finance and budget management as applied to your selected organization including how equilibrium, price, and quantity will change if supply or demand for service is altered within your organization.
  • Briefly analyze the technical aspects of budgeting and finance and explain how competition within your selected organization currently exists and how this affects the market value of the services provided by your agency.
  • Evaluate the financial constraints that arise in budgeting due to equilibrium and competition within your chosen organization.

Discussion Question 1: Divorce and Property Settlement Agreement

 

Divorces can be contested or uncontested. What is the difference between the two types? Are they handled differently? What information is necessary to know to get divorced? There are certain disclosure rules for a Property Settlement Agreement to be deemed valid. What are those rules, and what is the consequence of a violation of these rules? Further, read the scenario below and answer the following questions too.

John and Donna have been married eight years and live in New York. They want to get a divorce; they both agree that it is the right thing to do. Donna found out that John was having an affair for almost a year. They no longer love each other or wish to be together. Discuss whether this is a contested or uncontested divorce.

Do you think this information is sufficient to determine the nature of the divorce? What more information might you need? Would your answer change if you knew that they have an eight-year-old son, Matthew? What are the necessary actions for filing and completing an uncontested and contested divorce? In the process of getting the divorce, they negotiated a Property Settlement Agreement. John and Donna have listed their assets and liabilities. The agreement is prepared, and both parties sign the agreement. Donna then learns that John failed to disclose all his assets. Is the Property Settlement Agreement valid? Under what circumstances would the Property Settlement Agreement be valid despite John’s failure to disclose assets?

Justify your ideas and responses by using appropriate examples and references from Westlaw (including primary sources such as cases, statutes, rules, regulations, etc.), government websites, peer-reviewed legal periodicals (not lawyer blogs), which can be supplemented by law dictionaries or the textbook. This means you need to use more than just your text and legal dictionaries.
