Scenario
You are a lead criminal profiler assigned to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Behavioral Analysis Unit. Last week, you were selected to be a presenter at the International Homicide Investigators Conference in Washington, D.C. that will be held in two months. You will be discussing serial killers in America. At your speaking engagement, you will discuss two case studies derived from the scholarly journal article, Serial Murder in America: Case Studies of Seven Offenders. You will provide an expert opinion as to which criminological theories most likely explain the criminal behavior and which theories apply to the offender based upon the case study. You will focus on comparing and contrasting not only the theories and application of the theories for each case, but also any behavioral, sociological, and environmental factors in each.
Directions
Using the provided scenario and resource, choose two case studies to focus on for your speaking engagement. (Note: It is important to consider the theories and their application when reading and selecting the cases to use for this project. Some theories may not be applicable to certain cases.)
For each case, do the following:
Describe the criminal behavior present in each case. Include the following in your description:
Identify the case.
Provide a brief summary of the case, focusing on the criminal behavior.
Describe how the classical school of thought has influenced criminal justice practices specific to each case. Include the following in your analysis:
How has classical theory impacted the criminal justice system in regard to the criminal behavior, laws, and policies in each case?
Analyze the criminal behavior in each case by focusing on how the positivist school of thought (biological, psychological, sociological theories) has influenced criminal justice practices. Include the following in your analysis:
Which theory in each category (biological, psychological, and sociological) is most applicable to the case?
How may this theory influence criminal justice practices in relation to the criminal behavior in the case?
Explain how critical and interactionist theories interpret social structures and influence professional practice specific to each case. Include the following in your explanation:
What are the social structures and professional practices identified in the case?
Which critical and interactionist theory is most applicable to the case?
How may critical and interactionist theories influence professional practices in the case?
Explain the similarities and differences between the two cases you chose. Include the following in your explanation:
Which theories are used to analyze each case?
How is the application of theories similar or different in the cases?
How are behavioral and environmental factors similar or different in the cases?

Each student will write a five (5) page paper responding to an issue related to law enforcement in America. The research paper should be written in APA style (strictly enforced) with a proper title and reference page (these pages do not count towards the five-page requirement).  Each paper should be double-spaced with no more than 12-point Times New Roman font and one-inch margins on all four sides. You should include at least five (5) scholarly sources from peer-reviewed journals or court decisions (when appropriate) published in the last ten years for your paper. You are allowed the use of two direct quotes that should be no more than two sentences in length from the sources selected. The purpose of this requirement is to ensure the use of academic paraphrasing. Tables and charts should not be used to meet the five-page requirement; however, they may be used to supplement the information presented in the paper. DO NOT use your textbook as a source. Use of newspapers, Wikipedia, a mere Google search, or reliance on any other manufactured on-line source (e.g., dictionaries and encyclopedias) will not be accepted as a legitimate literature review.

Any sources should be cited according to APA style.

Although often relegated to the shadows of our political system, Native rights remains at the forefront of our legal system.  Remember, Native rights simply are human rights. So these cases are worth watching for the sake of securing the rights of us all.
Doctrines underscored in this course book are like lead balloons that weigh our system down and prevent us from elevating to our potential.  Echo-Hawk argues these doctrines (discovery, conquest, etc.) should be discarded, modified, or replaced by ones more buoyant in a postcolonial world.
The cases you studied form, in significant part, the foundation of federal Indian law. These remain the law.  These cases remain the law today and have never been reversed. And the Supreme Court continues to rely upon them as legal precedent for deciding Native American cases.
This means these cases serve as the body of law pertaining to American Indians and Alaska Natives that defines their bundle of political and legal rights as indigenous peoples, as well as the perception and treatments of natives themselves.
But, as with all precedent, it is vulnerable to change. 
In this assignment, you will critically consider the current state of Indian affairs by exploring current cases before the courts. Beyond just finding these cases, you must critically consider what that case tells you is the current perception on Native rights and people.

discuss the controversy generally. But, the key to the key to these reflections is to use our course materials to explain the assigned video. It is your ability to use our course materials that earns the points – the more you cite from the lectures and textbook, the more you earn.
Our lectures detailed the UNDRIP articles and the US hesitance to these “special” rights. You’d want to use these lessons to explain specific scenes/scenarios from the video. You’d show your understanding by describing the scenes that you are applying the lectures and textbook to.
