Getting and Preparing Evidence for Admissibility in Court

Getting and Preparing Evidence for Admissibility in Court For Unit VII, you will create a procedure for collecting and preparing evidence for admissibility in court.

While a policy describes a principle or rule to guide decisions that should result in some desired outcome (describes what and why), a procedure outlines the steps to achieve the desired outcome (describes what, how, where, and when). From the two assignments offered, select the one that you find the most interesting. For each activity, a PDF document containing an outline for how to create the procedure has been provided. A checklist that will be used to evaluate your submission is located at the bottom of the document. The information you need to fill in the outline can be located in the textbook chapters. Assignment A relates to Chapter 13, which offers detailed information to ensure that physical evidence collected at a crime scene will be admissible in court. In court, the collecting officer must be able to identify the evidence and verify that it is in the same or substantially the same, condition as when it was collected. This process can only be accomplished if the proper chain of custody is maintained. Assignment B relates to Chapter 14, which focuses on photographic evidence and the factors that need to be addressed in order for this evidence to be admissible in court. In photographing a crime scene, a key consideration is that the photos, as well as videos, should be a fair and accurate depiction of the crime scene. Assignment A: Using the outline provided, you will create a procedure for maintaining the chain of custody for physical evidence to present in a criminal case. If you wish, the procedure may describe how to handle a specific type of physical evidence, such as a blood sample, a shell casing, a weapon, etc. Click here to access the PDF Assignment A outline. Assignment B: Using the outline provided, you will create a procedure for photographing a crime scene that would promote the admissibility of the photographs in court. If you wish, you may make the procedure specific to either still photographs or video. Click here to access the PDF Assignment B outline. NOTE: The goal is to create a workable and understandable procedure that will guide the officer in collecting and preserving evidence that will be admissible in court. Your entire case study should be at least three pages. Be sure to cite, in APA format, any source used to influence your response. Therefore, your reference list should include a citation of the textbook as you are required to apply the concepts discussed in the textbook to the scenario.

Cultural Anthropology and Understanding Vegetarianism

Cultural Anthropology and Understanding Vegetarianism. Imagine that the Student Health Service wants to understand vegetarianism among undergraduates and is offering $20,000 for a research project that identifies how and why students become vegetarians.

Design a mixed methods study using at least two distinct methods that you learned in the class.

Propose an initial theory/explanation/hypothesis that your research will address, stated precisely and with details.
Clearly describe, explain, and justify your sampling plan.
Describe your methods very explicitly and precisely, providing clear justification for:
Why you chose each of your particular methods and what type of data or evidence each method would produce.
b. Why you selected the combination of the two n=methods and how the two complement one another.
c. How you determined the order in which you would carry out your methods in your research design.
Describe precisely how you would implement your methods. If you use any sort of structured “instrument,” such as an interview protocol, experimental procedure, or questionnaire, attach it as an appendix at the end of your exam. If you use unstructured methods, such as participant observation or open-ended interviews, be explicit about what exactly you plan to do, for instance, describing any practices in which you would participate, when, with whom, and how that method would contribute to answering the research question.
Discuss the merits and pitfalls or possible limitations to each of your research methods and how, in conjunction, the two methods would enable you to best answer the research question.
Persuade the Student Health Service that your research design and methods will provide data that will answer the original question (why students initially become vegetarians).

DO NOT COLLECT DATA, but rather think through and discuss how the methods you choose would best answer the research question.

Grading will be based in part on how well you make appropriate use of the concepts from the readings, lectures, and discussions this quarter. Cite relevant readings, lectures, or discussions to support your research design. Citations to course materials can be simply the author and page, or the date of the lecture or discussion section. You must include at least 2 lecture and 2 reading citations relevant to your proposal.

Da Vinci and Pre Renaissance to Post Modernism

Da Vinci and Pre Renaissance to Post Modernism Students will produce an exhibition on a theme relating to some aspect of course material: Pre-Renaissance to Post Modernism.

The exhibition must display a “room.” The room must have between 10-15 artworks demonstrating a single theme. You are expected to visit several different websites to retrieve images (a minimum of three different sites). Your topic should be as specific as possible: Too broad: Impressionism More focused topic: The modern life of Paris in the art of Impressionism Too broad: Leonardo da Vinci More focused topic: The architectural drawings of Leonardo da Vinci You can choose to present your exhibition room using a PowerPoint presentation or other digital media (such as Video, Prezi, Google Open Gallery, Art Steps, etc). Note that students who use another format other than PowerPoint will receive a 5 point bonus. The goal of the exhibition is to form a flow that takes a viewer through the theme in a connected and seamless manner. The organization of the exhibition is paramount to the viewer’s experience. Consider how you may present information for the viewer to gain a more formal understanding of the theme. You may, for example, choose the obvious chronological ordering, or you may opt for a different flow. Give the organization careful consideration. All images must be captioned with the artist (if known), title, date and original location (where did the artwork originate?). Include two or three sentences for each image that explain its importance. Included in the exhibition is the information below either in a separate document attachment or embedded in the presentation itself (suggested). The written portion should be about 2 pages (double space). This can be considered the curator’s statement (you are the curator)…be creative! Title of the exhibition Introduction of the exhibit that includes goals. Why did you select this theme and what do you want the viewer to gain from this presentation? What was your rationale for selecting these images? What is your rationale for placing the images in the order that you did? How does your exhibit contribute to our understanding of course material? This is your opportunity to demonstrate knowledge of the subject and what you have learned in the course. Works Cited in MLA or APA citation style

Psychology Journal and Psychological Science

Psychology Journal and Psychological Science What: Read an article in the psychology journal Psychological Science.

Then, in your own words, write a two-page summary of the article. I picked this journal because the articles are shorter than other journals, and are on a variety of interesting topics. I do not expect you to understand the statistical analyses; however, you should be able to describe the study (or studies) and the general findings.
You can search for Psychological Science articles online and find full-text PDFs through SF library’s webpage (for articles pre-2010, use JSTOR database; for articles published from 2011-2018, use Sage database). If there is a particular topic you are interested in, I can help you search for an article.
To make things easier for you, I have compiled a list of articles (see back of page) that I thought might interest you. I have PDFs for all of them.
