Assignment Guidelines

  • Address the following in 2–3 pages:
    • The blood type did not match the assailant’s; could this be ignored today? Why or why not? Explain.
    • Are crimes still tied together today? Explain.
    • With the today’s studies, it is realized that most murders or rapes are intraracial, not interracial. Should people have realized that in 1984, or was it just a matter of bigotry?
      • Use scholarly and academic resources to support your argument.
    • Take this case and make 2 scenarios:
      • Create 1 in which the perpetrator is Caucasian and 1 in which the perpetrator is a minority.
      • Explain how it would be handled in this day and time.
    • Locate 2 cases that are similar to your scenarios, and use them as scholarly sources to back up your opinions.
    • Explain the legal and ethical details pertaining to your scenarios’ individuals.
  • Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.
