Introduction: This journal assignment will allow you to analyze concepts and topics covered within Module 1. This activity supports learning outcomes: 1. Understand the nature and role of forensic science. 3. Garner knowledge of several forensic disciplines through self-guided research. The Assignment Instructions: Generate a journal entry containing your thoughts, reflections, and analysis of the following topics from Module 1.  Be sure to cite the source of any information you derive from references.  Failure to cite references results in an automatic drop of one letter grade. TOPICS: Page 4 in your text lists several sub-disciplines of forensic science.  Perform research of at least two of these sub-disciplines and describe what you have learned about them- make sure that you link these disciplines with forensics!  For example, you should not be writing about biology in general, you should be writing about forensic biology. Resources: The FTCC Library is an excellent search engine for academic sources: http://www.faytechcc.edu/campus-life/academic-support/library/ (opens in separate page) Using Journals – Blackboard Student Tutorial  There is no specific format, though you should follow proper academic writing protocols, such as the use of paragraphs and proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling.

A general strain theory was proposed by Robert Agnew. In this theory, he proposed that strain did not arise when people had a failure to meet the American Dream, but that everyone, in every social class, had frustrations in his or her daily life. Most strain theorists listed failure to achieve goals as a major strain precipitator. Agnew had identified two additional sources of strain: presentation of noxious stimuli and removal of positively valued stimuli. Examples of presentation of noxious stimuli would be an abusive parent, an overly critical instructor, and an overly demanding employer. Examples of the removal of positively valued stimuli would be losing a job, getting a divorce, and filing for bankruptcy. Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 200-300 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas. Create a scenario that would fall under the strain theory. In the scenario, provide an explanation of each of the following: The loss of the major goal The presentation of the noxious stimuli The removal of the positively valued stimuli When you have these 3 inputs of strain in your scenario, address the following: How would the person in the scenario react with criminal behavior or behavior that would not be acceptable to society? Explain. How could cognitive restructuring be used to prevent the person from partaking in criminal behavior? Explain.

As you are learning in this unit, the United States has the world’s largest decentralized police service. As a result, policing is not uniform across the United States, which has given way to entirely different requirements, training, expectations, and experiences. As you have read, modern agencies often reference Peel’s Principles, though Peel’s Principles have come to vary based on the interpretations of the time. These principles are said to guide the agency in its mission. In many ways, these principles become the pillars of the institution. In this discussion, you will read about and compare the four different interpretations of Peel’s Principles of policing with an emphasis on what you believe should be inherent principles of policing and what you believe are not right for the police. The specific steps are as follows: Review each of the following principles: Germann’s Principles, Folley’s Principles, More’s Principles, and Mayhall’s Principles. Identify and explain those principles that you believe are not appropriate for the police service. Based on your review of these principles, what are your top 5? Are there any that you believe are not included that should be included as pillars of policing? Lastly, in reflecting on these principles, how do they align with your local police agency?

From the Jack Katz article, his thesis is that modern people’s fascination with a crime may be based in our search for solutions to our everyday problems. Do you think that crime news “serves readers’ interests in performing a daily moral workout” (p. 70)?    Create a question for others to
