In order to ensure you receive the grade you have earned, remember to number your responses so it is clear to me which question you are answering. Part 1: Review the powerpoint from Week 5 titled “PPT: Sexual Violence & Campus Sexual Violence StatisticsActions.” This powerpoint lists statistics highlighting differing perspectives on sexual assault prevalence which varied across studies and across demographic groups (e.g. race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, year in school, etc).

Based on your own observations, does rape culture exist and should we be using this term? Do we live in a rape culture? Why or why not?

First, explain why, in your opinion, so much media, including film and television, is devoted to the depiction of serial killers. Elaborate. Next, in your opinion, why have African American males become such prolific serial killers over the last 15 years? Elaborate and provide a convincing explanation to support your argument. Also, there are very few, if any, African American female serial killers? Why do you suppose this is, given the fact that there has been such a huge inflation of African American male serial killers in recent years? Next, according to the book, African Americans and Caucasians very seldom team up as accomplices in serial killing? In your opinion, why do you suppose this is? Elaborate. Next, after reflecting upon Chapter Eight and the presentation, “Deconstructing the Link Between Kenneth Bianchi and Doug Clark,” are you surprised by the way that some incarcerated serial killers are able to exert power over women outside of the prison? Specifically, why do think Veronica Compton was influenced by not one, but two, incarcerated serial killers? Elaborate. Hopefully by now, you have read about half of the book, The Man with the Killer Smile. If you like you may point to some aspects of this book to support any one of your arguments. Finally, once you have answered all of the above questions, please pose an original thinking question to the class.

I. Introduction to Leadership https://youtu.be/nSUJwmPQEyg https://youtu.be/a0Gg_8k77UM What is leadership and how does it affect the police organization? Distinguish leadership from management, i.e., what is management and what are the levels of management in a police department? Explain why evidence-based policing is important. Provide an example of evidence-based policing. According to the textbook, the backbone of any police department is patrol. Patrol officers answer calls for service and respond to and prevent crime. Smaller departments may have no specialized units or only a few. How would you determine if a department needs to form a specialized unit? Note: You could also apply this to specialized courts or other aspects of the legal system besides law enforcement. Police departments, and other organizations in the criminal justice system, have a system of policies and procedures. In your opinion, what are some of the areas that you think are most important for these regulations to cover? Guidelines For full credit, you must demonstrate a clear understanding of the readings and course concepts. Your response should be analytical, rather than merely descriptive. Meaning, that I would like you to contribute new information from your own analysis of the readings. Make sure to provide proper in-text citations (see Writing Resources for more on APA and ASA formatting).
