what is legal?

This is four assignments and four different papers.

Part 1: Legal Search and Seizure

A crime scene investigator who is legally present at a crime scene may collect any evidence he/she believes is pertinent to the incident under investigation. However, the crime scene official needs to ensure that the following four legal requirements for collecting physical evidence are met:

  • Physical evidence should be searched and seized legally.
  • The crime scene and the collection of evidence should be documented completely and properly.
  • Each item of evidence collected should be properly packaged and have sufficient identification information.
  • Each item of evidence should have a proper chain of custody established and maintained.

Based on your reading material and individual research, discuss the legal aspects of a search and subsequent seizure of property that may or may not be related to a criminal incident. Define why the exclusionary rule has been created and how it is to be applied to the practical investigation of a crime scene. What is the basic premise of the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution? When may a police officer carry out actions that may violate the individual rights detailed under this Amendment?

Writing Guidelines

  1. Type your submission, double-spaced, in a standard print font, size 12. Use a standard document format with 1-inch margins. (Do not use any fancy or cursive fonts.)
  2. Read the assignment carefully and address the issue suggested. Part 1 should be a minimum of 250 words.
  3. Be specific. Limit your submission to the topic or issues mentioned.
  4. Include a reference page that lists websites, journals, or any other references used in preparing the submission.
  5. Proofread your work carefully. Check for correct spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization

Part 2: Crime Scene Safety and Security

Cross-training in today’s specialized working environment can be significant. Nowhere in the forensic field is that more evident than in crime scene investigations. The crime scene investigator or technician can find him- or herself in many unique situations during an investigation. One way to ensure investigators are prepared for these circumstances is to be well-trained and schooled in the constantly changing nature of the work. Knowledge of hazards and proficiency with equipment will be the best way to ensure that a scene is properly investigated.

When responding to crime scenes, personal safety—limiting injuries and illnesses due to exposures—should always be a priority. This applies in the field as well as in the lab.

Crime Scene Safety

Discuss in detail the following aspects related to crime scene safety:

  • What bare minimum items of protective equipment would you include in your crime scene tool kit? Provide a list of such equipment and explain the purpose of each item in the list.
  • What are the three most common types of hazards you may encounter at a crime scene? For each of these hazards, list the personal protective equipment that you would wear to protect yourself.
  • If you reach a crime scene that may be hazardous (all scenes contain some type and level of hazard) and realize some of your protective equipment is missing from your tool kit, would you continue with your investigation? Why or why not? Use an example of a hypothetical crime scene that requires a specific type of protective equipment, and suggest any alternative items that could be used to collect evidence from that scene.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s website has comprehensive information on crime scene safety. You can also learn more about crime scene safety by searching the Internet using keywords such as the following:

  • Crime scene safety
  • Crime scene search
  • Personal protective equipment for skin at a crime scene
  • Personal protective equipment evidence magazine
  • Personal protective equipment
  • Nonroutine crime scene pathogens

Safety and Securing the Crime Scene

Please discuss fully your actions as a crime scene investigator regarding the following three hypothetical situations:

  1. After arriving at the crime scene, you observe that no first responding officers have secured the back yard area. You see onlookers milling about. You also notice an individual pick up a small object and run from the area. Once you’re advised of the information obtained by the detectives, you realize that the secure crime scene area should have been expanded. Discuss:
  2. What are the potential ramifications of this error?
  3. How can investigators avoid this potential problem?
  4. You’ve completed the walkthrough of the crime scene and have exited the house to formulate your plan for photography, which is the next step in the investigation process. You notice that you’re leaving bloody footwear impressions on the paved driveway. When you check your shoes, you realize that you forgot to put on your protective shoe covers. After reentering the scene, you find that you stepped into one of the pools of blood in the living room on your way out. This means you’ve added bloody footprints to the scene. Discuss:
  5. What steps, if any, would you take to document this error?
  6. How would you ensure that this will never happen again at a scene? What type of plan would you recommend be put in place?
  7. What must now be done to distinguish the bloody shoe prints left by your shoes from any others that may be located within the scene?
  8. You’ve been called to investigate a death of an individual found in a large agricultural field that was recently sprayed with agricultural chemicals. The scene is open and unprotected by any natural coverings.
  9. What will be your first step in processing this scene and why? How will you isolate and secure the scene?
  10. What levels of protective clothing would you use and why?
  11. What special equipment would you need to have available for this scene and why?
  12. What steps would you take to document this scene and why?

Writing Guidelines

  1. Type your submission, double-spaced, in a standard print font, size 12. Use a standard document format with 1-inch margins. (Do not use any fancy or cursive fonts.)
  2. Read the assignment carefully and address the issue suggested. Part 2 should be a minimum of 500 words.
  3. Be specific. Limit your submission to the topic or issues mentioned.
  4. Include a reference page that lists websites, journals, or any other references used in preparing the submission.
  5. Proofread your work carefully. Check for correct spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization.

Part 3: Arson

On a clear fall evening, the local fire department was called to the Joneses’ residence regarding a report of fire inside the front room of the home. After suppressing the fire, it was identified as arson. Obvious ignitable liquid-pour patterns were seen on the furniture and wood floor in the living room. The front picture window was partially broken—not sufficient to allow entry, but possibly enough for a container to be thrown through. Someone, it appeared, had broken the window in an apparent attempt to stage a forced entry, without actually entering the house in the manner suggested by the broken window. All windows and doors were found in locked position. The scene was released by the fire officials to police custody.

You have been assigned this case and must investigate this scene. Investigators must be careful when entering a burned building, as the structure may collapse and there’s always the hazard of breathing poisonous chemicals such as toxic beryllium oxide and carcinogenic combustion products. Collecting and searching for evidence under such conditions is therefore not as simple a task as other, more straightforward scenes.

  1. Discuss whether or not a search warrant will be needed prior to conducting the investigation. Explain the circumstances that will be used to make that determination. Justify your decision.
  2. Based on your course material and personal research, discuss in detail how you will investigate this scene. Your discussion should include
  3. Plan
  4. Assignments
  5. Personal safety
  6. Special equipment, if any
  7. Techniques of evidence detection
  8. Seizure of evidence why it should be seized
  9. Any other consideration you believe is significant

Fully explain why this scene may require special techniques, skills, and knowledge not required of other types of crime scenes.

Writing Guidelines

  1. Type your submission, double-spaced, in a standard print font, size 12. Use a standard document format with 1-inch margins. (Do not use any fancy or cursive fonts.)
  2. Read the assignment carefully and address the issue suggested. Part 3 should be a minimum of 500 words.
  3. Be specific. Limit your submission to the topic or issues mentioned.
  4. Include a reference page that lists websites, journals, or any other references used in preparing the submission.
  5. Proofread your work carefully. Check for correct spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization.

part 4

Your graded research project will be combining all assignments into one document. For each part you’ll write an essay addressing the issue assigned. These essays will be submitted as one file after you’ve completed all lessons. Be sure to include a title page, proper citation, and reference page. Make to not just combine the assignment but to make sure to edit and update your assignments.

Project will have:

  1. Title Page
  2. Introduction
  3. Part 1 (Assignment 1)
  4. Part 2 (Assignment 2)
  5. Part 3 (Assignmnet 3)
  6. Conclusion
  7. Reference Page

Your project will be based on the following criteria:

Part 1: 250 words minimum 20 points
Part 2: 500 words minimum 30 points
Part 3: 500 words minimum 30 points
Written communication 20 points

Interpret this poem.. 700-800 words

700-800 words.

roughly 2.5-3 pages, typed, double-spaced

Pick one poem out of the four poems.

Please read attached document

The poems are:

“The changeling” by Judith Ortiz Cofer

“Ballad of the Landlord” by langston hughes

“Cream of wheat” by Lucille Clifton

“Women” by May Swenson

Your close reading paper will be

a short paper (roughly 2.5-3 pages, typed, double-spaced).

In it, you will close-read a poem from the selected poems. You don’t need to do any reading

outside of the packet to write this paper. Remember, it’s your job in the close reading paper to

analyze the mechanics of the poems you choose, but do so in order to make a larger argument

about the poet’s goals. Ask, “What is this poet trying to do, trying to say, with his/her poetry and

how does craft guide, reinforce, enhance that?” Needless to say, it’s helpful to write about a

poem whose overall project is something you feel you “get.” If there’s a problem students have

with this type of paper, it’s achieving focus. I suggest you choose only one or two craft elements

to focus on (craft elements that seem central to the poem’s work). Overall, your goal in a close

reading paper is to write perceptively and precisely about a poem that is important to you. Enjoy

the process. Make it work for you!

THE QUESTION THE PEERS HAD TO ANSWER:

Choose an industry or business of interest to you and explore, discuss, and comment on some of the real world applications of hypothesis testing? Cite some of the real world cautions related to statistical inference and hypothesis testing that managerial practitioners need to be aware of?

PEER #1:

The industry I chose to talk about is ecommerce. Like in traditional retail, in ecommerce hypothesis testing can help identify consumer behavior and how to change the layout of the website to achieve maximum clicks and purchases. According to Optiverse it is helpful to optimize a websites search box, so that customers can find what they are looking for easily and the purchase can be made. This can be tested by adjusting the search bars and viewing the results. Another way to conduct hypothesis testing in ecommerce is by adjusting the scrolling banners and hero images, which are large images pointing out specific products of the site (Optiverse). Some of these items don’t move in a convenient way, so by optimizing them the ecommerce manager could identify if this increased the banner and hero clicks. Cautions for a manager in ecommerce could be problems with programming the desired tests. Depending on the maintenance available for the website a manager may or may not be able to afford reprogramming major aspects of the site.

PEER #2:

In the fast food industry, to continue to attract new consumers, companies will often offer new menu items in select markets to test out how well the new item would fair if offered nationwide. Chick fil a offers a seasonal milk shake, peach shake, that they tend to offer at select stores for the summer months. Based on how well the sales are with their new flavor, impacts whether or not the peach shake will earn its spot as a permanent fixture on their menu (Driscoll & Crosby, 2000). Chick fil a will gather statistics on cost to keep the peach shake inventory versus the sales revenue generated from offering the additional flavor as well as how the peach flavor sales compare to the strawberry, chocolate and cookies in crème. While using statistical inferences as one of the many streams of data that are available to managers to make business decisions, they are not without some caveats. A statistical inference is only as good as the study design, meaning, before managers decide to base a business decision on a sample group, it is imperative that the sample group used is truly representative of their larger target consumer population it is meant to represent (Michael, 1974). Failure to properly represent the target population could result in a misjudgment of how well a new flavor of shake would do in the market and the inventory costs and lack of sales could result in loss of profits.

powerpoint presentation on blackberry’s business climate

This is the project:

You will be working in groups of three that will be formulated in week 1 by your instructor. Expectations for the group project are to apply two of the business categories covered in this course, to the entity you have chosen for this project. Choose a company amongst your team. It can be one of the companies that a team member works for or something else. Start by assessing your company’s current business climate in order to identify a segment of the business you believe would benefit from a better management approach. The next step will be to formulate a strategy as to how that issue should be approached by applying the two business categories to arrive at a solution. For example, the group may conclude production output has not met demand due to inadequate availability of raw materials (Logistics category). Research efficient supply chain management (SCM) practices then select and develop an implementation plan for your proposed SCM solution. Develop a strategy for how you will track the results of our solution (Management category, controlling function).

This is my part. Each section being a slide on the powerpoint:

-What is the business concept of blackberry and its background

-Blackberry’s current business climate

-examples could include comparing to apple and samsung

-What two segments of the business we believe would benefit form a better management approach

1. Strategic Management

2. Operational Management and Leadership

-Why?

-examples such as profit and public opinion and appeal

-How Research and development would benefit?

-How innovation would benefit?

-How product development would benefit?

writing observations

Writing positive observations about Elora looks like the example

Example:

(Elora’s Observations) The task role Michael Alaa played that was most significant was the “opinion seeker.” He asked questions to gather all the information before making suggestions during group planning. Several times he clarified what we were doing and how we were going to accomplish it. He also played the role of the follower during the scavenger hunt. He went with the flow and was like an audience and listened to what everyone had to say. The group level behaviors that I noticed were that someone would suggest an idea, and the group would vote on whether they wanted to go along with that suggestion or not. Our current stage of group development is team norms. We haven’t been a team for very long, so we are still working out our shared expectations for the group. We do, however, have a psychological contract that lays out most of these rules, but we are still working on the informal ones. Our team building activity was the scavenger hunt. We had to work together and communicate as a team to find all the objects on our list.

Week 2 – Manager Review

Managerial Decision-Making

This week, we examined a managerial activity that spans all four functional areas: decision making. Our exploration included managerial ethical dilemmas and the specific decisions faced by managers in business today. Address the following:

  2. Assess his or her strengths in decision making based on assigned reading concepts/theory. Research can also be supplemented from (but not solely based on) other information from academically credible resources.
  3. Assess that same manager’s decision-making weaknesses using the assigned reading concepts/theory. Research can also be supplemented from (but not solely based on) other information from academically credible resources.
  4. Assess the manager’s track record for making ethical decisions including at least one example of either an ethical or unethical decision made.
  5. Defend 2–3 recommendations for management performance improvement in decision making based on sound, academically credible concepts and theories from assigned reading and academically credible research.
