To produce a criminal profile for an unknown suspect, profilers use various types of collected data to make assumptions and conclusions about the case at hand. In a 750-1,000 (words)identify a real-life example of a criminal that was apprehended using an FBI criminal profile that was matched to him or her and address the following:
What types of data would be most useful in creating a criminal profile?
What are some of the disadvantages to using such profiles?

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, read Chapters 3, 4, and 5 from Introduction to Juvenile Justice. It is also recommended that you review the upcoming Week 3 Final Paper Outline assignment along with your Week 5 Treatment Versus Punishment: That Is the Question! Final Paper instructions. An Annotated BibliographyLinks to an external site. is a great way to organize your research and prepare you for completing the Final Paper Outline in Week 3 and your Final Paper in Week 5. The purpose of an annotated bibliography is to find, summarize, and critique scholarly and/or credible sources that you will use to complete your Final Paper. You will also use the information gained from the required readings this week to complete this assignment.
The Final Paper requires you to identify resources that will support your argument of whether treatment, punishment, or a combination of both treatment and punishment are most effective in reducing juvenile crime rates and recidivism. Like the Final Paper due in Week 5, this assignment will focus on analyzing some of the research in targeted areas of juvenile criminal behavior.
In your Annotated Bibliography, identify at least five scholarly and/or credible sources, which includes the source you are reviewing, two sources that support or contradict the initial article, and any other sources that support your analysis in the Week 5 paper, which calls for you to:
Explain the differences between treatment and punishment concepts.
Evaluate types of treatment and types of punishment options for violent and non-violent juvenile crimes.
Examine the research as to whether treatment, punishment, or a combination of both (treatment and punishment) is most effective for reducing recidivism in juvenile offenders.
Identify the prevailing perspective (treatment, punishment, or combination of both) in your jurisdiction and one other jurisdiction [Note: this may come from a government or other equally credible source].
Analyze the research on recidivism rates for each jurisdiction (yours and the other you chose) to determine which has lower recidivism rates.
For each of your critical analyses of your sources for the points listed above,
Summarize each source’s thesis and/or main points in one paragraph.
Evaluate the relevance of the data used to support the thesis of the source.
Briefly critique the accuracy, acceptability, strengths and weaknesses, and overall soundness of the article.
Explain, in one to two sentences, how each source supports your thesis and/or resolution.
Provide the formal APA reference entry for each source.
The annotated bibliography must be 750 to 1250 words in length, excluding title and reference pages, and formatted according to APA style. You must use at least five scholarly and/or credible sources, which includes the source you are reviewing, two sources that support or contradict the initial article, and any other sources that support your analysis.

1.  Shaw and McKay’s delinquency studies link the growth and differentiation of Chicago to social disorganization and crime rates in city neighborhoods. Summarize the various concentric zones of the map of Chicago. Which zone has  the highest rates of crime/delinquency and why?
2.  Discuss in detail Sampson’s concept of collective efficacy. Do you think collective efficacy adequately is an adequate explanation for lower crime rates in city neighborhoods?  Why or why not?

 Answer each question.  Deliverable Length: 2-3 pages 
1.  Durkheim treats deviance and crime as objective, measurable social facts. Deviance is both normal (ALL societies have patterns of deviance/crime) and pathological (patterns of deviance/crime are statistically infrequent compared to conforming behavior patterns).  Explain how recreational marijuana use may be both normal and pathological social behavior.  If most people have used marijuana (“normal”), how can it be defined as deviant (“pathological”)?
2. Erikson argues that deviance is NOT an objective quality of behavior; rather, social audiences label deviance based on directly or indirectly witnessing such behavior. In short, deviance is less about statistical evidence and more a quality of social reaction.  Using drunk driving as an example, how does audience reaction establish boundaries between recreational drinking and drunk driving, especially the legal response to the latter?  In your answer pay particular attention to age of offenders as an important boundary.

  Deliverable Length: 2-3 pages 
Discuss Merton’s concept of anomie (the disjunction of cultural goals, institutionalized means, and the actual distribution of opportunities (e.g., educational, economic) to achieve the cultural goals.

2. Define and discuss Hagedorn’s ideal types of “homeboys, dope fiends, legits, and new jacks”.  Pay particular attention to how each of these types represents Merton’s five adaptations to anomie.  How does Hagedorn update Merton’s theory with the addition of racial discrimination as obstacle to goal achievement?

regional and agency differences
data entry issues
detail and use of data
access to data (public?)
police unions
use of force continuums
funding
liability
training
transparency
national standardized policy
internal affairs, etc.

Please read the questions carefully and answer each as thoroughly and accurately as possible. Both decision making scenarios are provided in the Module.

Is this situation a university or police matter? Why? Does the fact that the young girl seems to have a “reputation” make a difference? 
Are you subject to any liability issues in this case?
What do you feel would be a responsible and just outcome to this case? What additional information would you need in order to make an accurate assessment?
Super Cop
Discuss the arguments of both sides for using such investigative techniques. What would you do in this situation?
How could a criminal investigator develop informants without using money or “promises”?
