Hide Assignment Information
Instructions
All weekly assignments are due at the end of each week’s session, which is 10:00 PM PST Saturday of each week. Written assignments should be submitted no later than 10:00 pm PST Saturday of each week. There will be 5 questions each week, each one worth 2 points for a total of 10 points each week and a total of 40 points for the course. There will be NO credit given for assignments posted after 10:00 pm PST.
Each assignment must include: week number, student name, and question numbers. Each assignment should be between 2 and 4 pages, double-spaced with 12 point font. Assignments must be completed in a Word document and uploaded for submission. No credit will be given for incorrect answers. There will be no credit for assignments turned in after the deadline of each week.
Answer the following questions:
Do you believe Victims of Crimes should be allowed to address the Court? Why? When do you believe it is best to allow them to speak?
The law recognizes certain defenses to crime. In those cases, even when an individual has committed the guilty act (actus reus) of an offense, they are not guilty of the crime charged. Why shouldn’t those who commit the guilty act always be held accountable for their actions?
Explain the importance of the adversary system. What safeguards are provided by the adversary system?
Should prosecution for a crime in both state and federal courts be prohibited by the double jeopardy clause?
What are the differences between state high courts that have intermediate courts of appeals and those that do not? Why would a state not have an intermediate court of appeals? Is there a difference in the likelihood of an appeal being heard?
Example of a full credit answer
This question asks: How should investigators conduct reconnaissance and surveillance activities at this location in order to gather information and intelligence in preparation for the sting?
Response: Plain clothes officers in unmarked cars should establish positions in close proximity that surround the property without being detected (window tint, dashboard/windshield shades, etc.). Camera and video equipment should be used to monitor the daily and nightly activities of persons and vehicles coming and going. All ingress and egress points should be documented. A police helicopter from long distances and high altitude can provide a bird’s eye view and photos/video of the property. The helicopter can also be used to follow vehicles of interest or vehicles that marked police units follow away from the location and conduct traffic stops in order to gather intelligence from the occupants. Marked police units can also conduct subject stops of persons that left the location. Undercover units should be directing the marked units so their cover is not compromised.
Complete all required tasks, and then upload your work for grading. Submit your work as a file attachment. This means you complete all work in a word processing document (e.g., Microsoft Word). Acceptable formats are .doc and .docx. Only work submitted in document form will be graded. Nothing typed in the textbox will be graded. This assignment is worth 10 points.
Please find below the grading rubric to which all written assignments are graded.
