You are expected to referencethe Textbook, scholarly journals, and cases to support the arguments you are making for thequestion you select.

Daytime courtroom television shows, such as ‘Judge Judy’, are sometimes criticized as notpresenting an accurate portrait of what actually occurs in a courtroom setting. To whatdegree is this criticism accurate? And, does the entertainment value of these daytimecourtroom shows ‘trump’ any deficiencies in educational content?2. We have seen how television, movies, and literary works often present a fictionalized viewof what actually takes place in criminal court proceedings. Do these popular mediavehicles also present a fictionalized view of what takes place in actual civil trials?

Do portrayals of death penalty situations on television, in movies, or through literaryworks have any significant impact on how ordinary citizens or legislative policy makersview the death penalty? And, is the portrayal of death penalty situations in these popularculture vehicles an accurate picture capital punishment or simply a form of fictionalizedadvocacy for a particular perspective on capital punishment?4. Is it possible to secure a ‘fair jury’ and a ‘just verdict’ in either a criminal or a civil case dueto the overwhelming exposure most individuals have to fictionalized presentations of howthe American justice system works on television shows, in the movies, and though popularsystem novels?

7104-3 Develop Issue StatementsInstructionsThe Adult Drug Court program offers cognitive-based, outpatient counseling and drug monitoring of offenders who are diagnosed with a moderate to severe substance use disorder. The offenders must be convicted of drug offenses or offenses motivated by their drug use. Participant compliance in the program is monitored regularly by the drug court team. The team consists of the judge, public defender, probation officer, and counselors. Participants are randomly drug tested on a frequent basis and they must participate in substance use disorder treatment, as determined by their licensed counselor. Because this population often has varied treatment needs, they are often referred to additional services such as residential treatment, Medically-Assisted Treatment (MAT), cognitive intervention classes, and individual counseling sessions. Over the past 5 years, the drug court success rate has continued to drop. This year, the success rate is at 38 percent.The program is facing several challenges:High rate of probationers who never report to their assigned drug court probation officer.High rearrests rate while in treatment.Continuance of illegal drug use while in the program.Participants do not take full advantage of residential treatment in the community.You are meeting with the senior court and officials to discuss the issues the court is facing. After the meeting, you are tasked with developing issue statements. An example of an issue statement is the following:Issue Statements (Consider issue/trend; how it’s moving; and the impact on customers.) Over the past 5 years, the percent of probationers supervised has increased by 18 percent. Probationers’ increased risk and complex needs (e.g., mental illness, chemical dependency) combined with an ever-changing external environment (e.g., recreational marijuana bill; new criminal presiding judge) requires an evolving skillset staff’s need to affect long-term, prosocial behavior change; if not addressed, this will result in: Increased recidivism; Increased risk to staff safety; Decrease in positive behavior change; Diminished ability to decrease victimization; and Decline in the ability to meet customer expectations to reduce crime.Please develop issue statements focused on the problems that the drug court is facing. Length: 2 pages References: 4 Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards

From this week’s readings and your own research, summarize what you understand to have been the Constitutional Framers’ goals in writing a constitution creating a limited government. Why was the constitution created? What did they fear? Discuss fully, demonstrating your knowledge of the readings.Choose any one of the issues (i.e. Full Faith and Credit, Freedom of Association, Freedom to Assemble, Confrontation of Witnesses, Excessive Bail, [but not Cruel and Unusual Punishment, as this is covered in other courses], etc.) covered in these materials. Research the concept and provide a brief overview of case law, statutes, or codes you uncovered in your research.All discussions must include at least one reference to course materials and at least two other legal references.

The two common Fourth Amendment exceptions that are part of this Discussion Board are consent and probable cause. Both aspects should be articulated in your answer.The Fourth Amendment protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures. Taking fingerprints from a person is considered to be a seizure and it must be done with probable cause or consent. With probable cause, police are allowed to take a person’s fingerprints and photograph, and record and maintain records of them. Consider how these same standards apply to other aspects of biometric data.Identify one biometric characteristic other than fingerprints (e.g., eye scanning, facial scanning, etc.) and explain how the Fourth Amendment would apply to the collection of that data.Under what circumstances might law enforcement be able to compel the collection of other biometric data?Why would the collection of those biometric data be considered reasonable?

The state crime lab has contracted AB Investigative Services (ABIS) to prepare a forensic plan to ensure that current problems with computer forensic investigations are erased and training is provided.An initial ABIS audit shows that many areas of the lab are not prepared to conduct extensive computer forensic evidence collection. You have been asked to prepare a set of recommendations on how to handle the following areas and related problems:Forensic plan and policy adherence: How will the investigator and the lab ensure proper QA and QC over computer forensic products?Order of volatility: How do we deal with suppliers, distributors, and end-consumers? Do we offer special pricing to different customer sets?Inventory and warehouse management: How do we handle returns?Customer service: How will customers communicate with us?Security and privacy: How do we protect our intellectual property and customer data?Technology: Should we outsource any applications/functions? What new technology applications are required to accommodate e-business?The aforementioned questions are intended to get you started, but consider other challenges within each area that could be addressed.
