IP – This assignment will be a bit different than you usually have to prepare. In this assignment you will make an intake form.

There are three parts-submit all documents as ONE file ( use a zip file) or include all content in ONE word document.

Part I

The first part of your presentation-2-3 pages will be an actual essay.
This essay will discuss the importance of recognizing the signs of stalking, the criminal definition of stalking, 
and key facts that we should know about stalking.
Use APA format-include title page, abstract and reference page.

Part 2

Create an intake form that can be used to get information from alleged victims of stalking

Basic example of an intake form can be found: https://cliniclegal.org/sites/default/files/Sample%20Client%20Intake_0.pdf

http://storage.cloversites.com/lonestarcowboychurch/documents/Intake%20Form%20Sexual%20Abuse.pdf

You will need to transition this intake form to make sense for victims of stalking. Essentially, you are creating your own intake form. You will provide information about the suspect’s information , and information about the incident . It does not have to look exactly like any of the forms that you find online. Just make sure that the form is comprehensive and looks like a complete intake form. There is no one set example for an intake form.

You need to fill in these forms with hypothetical information so they can be tied together. Do not submit blank forms.

Part 3

The second part of the assignment said to create an risk assessment/evaluation and assessment form that will be based on the intake form you just made.

Make sure that you provide the general information such as name, date etc for the victim as you would on any other assessment form.

You need to fill in these forms with hypothetical information from the intake form so they can be tied together. Do not submit blank forms.

In this assessment form you will present questions about:

The relationship with the victim and the suspect. Include about five or so questions related to this topic.
example question-Do you know who the suspect is? Yes or no

Information about the stalking incident and frequency: Include five or so questions here.
Example question-does a suspect contact you by electronic devices? Yes/ No

Another section might be-Specific threats made by the suspect: Include five or so questions related to this topic.
Example question: Has the suspect made threatening or intimidating calls to communicate with you? Yes/No

Another section might be-Have you taken any actions to stop the suspect behavior-include five or so questions related to this topic
Example question. Have you moved to a new location? yes/no

When you have an evaluation, you should have some type of scale, such as 1-10, or Low ,medium, high etc at the end of the form-this would essentially be the “risk assessment”.

In the risk assessment section, you would sort of explain: Example-if the victim responded yes/no to the specific questions above, this would indicate a “low-level” of stalking risk.

or

If the victim responded Yes/no to questions 1-5, this presents a medium risk to the victim.

if the victim responded yes to questions 15- 20 this would present a high risk.

However you want to frame this assessment is fine. Just think about your approach here.

Continue to look at evaluation and assessment forms online to get a little bit more clarity about this.

 

Presidential Authority in a Murder Case

 

Assume you are a Criminal Justice student working on a research project. You are assigned to research the arrest and conviction of a suspect charged with a murder that took place in a federal building. Click here to read the scenario.

—————————————————————————————————————–

 

 

Assessment Scenario:

 

Tim began working at the Rosa Parks Federal Building in Detroit, Michigan, as a security guard immediately upon graduating high school. In 1975, a female clerk working in the building was found murdered in an isolated stock room in the basement of the building. During the investigation, an employee indicated to police that she saw Tim leaving that area earlier in the day and that she recalled a conversation between Tim and the victim months earlier. She told police she overheard them arguing over a vending machine cupcake that the victim had eaten after Tim had left it in the employee lounge for later in his shift. Based on this testimony and records that showed Tim regularly entered the stock room while making his rounds, Tim was arrested, charged, and convicted of murder under Michigan law. Tim’s attorneys argued unsuccessfully that he should have been tried under federal law because the crime occurred in a federal building.

Tim has always maintained his innocence and immediately appealed his conviction. Seven years into his sentence, Tim learned that a detective involved in the investigation of his case was fired for sloppy police work and aggressive witness interviewing in unrelated cases. The victim’s family has participated in each parole hearing for the defendant and has testified at these hearings arguing that Tim should not be released from prison. After 21 years of incarceration, Tim has exhausted his options on appeal, as the United States Supreme Court has declined to accept his case for review.

Using your understanding of the relevant constitutional issues, write a three-page essay describing how you think the president should decide if the defendant were ever to request a presidential pardon. Your essay should include the following:

 

•A short description of the facts of the case

 

•Your understanding of the president’s authority to help the defendant under the Constitution

 

•A discussion of the difference between a pardon, a reprieve, a commutation of sentence, and amnesty

 

•Identification of all possible constitutional issues in the case, including a comparison of the use of state versus federal law

 

•Your opinion, after applying the facts of the case to the Constitution and considering the ethical issues involved, regarding whether or not the president should exercise his pardon authority

 

 

 

 

Case Brief Example

 

This is an example of a well-written case brief. Note the compliance with the required format and how the student gets right to the important points in plain language. If legal terms are encounter which are not understood, chances are that other students will not understand them, so it is best not to use them unless defined within the brief. 

Assignment sub-heading: Sixth Amendment Right to Counsel



TITLE AND CITATION: Nix v. Williams, 467 U.S. 431, 104 S.Ct. 2501 (1984)



TYPE OF ACTION: Review by the U.S. Supreme Court of a lower court ruling that evidence should be suppressed as a result of a violation of the Sixth Amendment right to counsel. The state (Nix) sought to overturn the motion to suppress that was upheld by the U.S. District Court of Appeals.



FACTS OF THE CASE: 

On December 24, 1968, ten year old Pamela Powers was kidnapped from an Iowa YMCA and her body was later found in a ditch, which was within an extensive area that was being searched by volunteers and law enforcement. The defendant was observed “carrying a large bundle wrapped in a blanket…two legs in it and they were skinny and white.” Williams’ car, which contained clothing items belonging to the victim, was found the next day approximately 160 miles from the incident. Based on this information, an extensive search was started that extended from Des Moines to Davenport, Iowa. 



Law enforcement obtained a warrant for Williams’ arrest, and he subsequently turned himself into the authorities in Davenport. Williams was arraigned and had obtained and spoken with an attorney. Des Moines police detectives agreed to transport Williams and not interview him during the drive between Davenport and Des Moines. During the drive, one of the detectives on the case began to speak to Williams regarding the need to find the child’s body before it snowed so that her parents could give her a proper, “Christian” burial. The detective did not ask Williams any specific questions during this conversation. At that point, Williams provided statements to the detectives that led them to the child’s body. 



Williams was then tried in state court and was found guilty of first degree murder. Williams filed a motion to suppress the evidence of the body and all related evidence concerning the body’s location based on illegally obtained testimony. When the conviction was affirmed by the Iowa state Supreme Court, Williams sought relief in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa. The U.S. District Court, U.S. Court of Appeals, and the U.S. Supreme Court agreed with Williams and determined that he was denied the right to counsel and his statements, which led to the child’s body, could not be introduced into evidence. 

 

Williams was tried in state court a second time, without the use by the prosecution of the statements he had given to detectives. Prosecutors introduced evidence of the child’s body under the premise of “inevitable discovery”, as the child’s body was in an area that was within the designated search area. Williams was convicted a second time and the conviction was upheld by the Iowa Supreme Court again. Appeals by the parties brought the case back to the U.S. Supreme Court a second time. 



CONTENTIONS OF THE PARTIES:

Nix: The state (Nix) contends that the evidence of the child’s body and all related evidence concerning the body as to its location should be admissible in spite of the denial of right to counsel because the body would have been discovered in any event due to the wide-ranging search in the area which was not the result of anything that Williams said to the detectives. In the second trial, the defendant’s statements were not introduced, but the body evidence should still be admissible because it would have been discovered and in the same condition anyway even if there was no violation of the Sixth Amendment. The child’s body was found well within the extensive search area and would have been located by one or more of the over two hundred searchers nearly the same time that the defendant took the detectives to the child’s body. This argument is called the “inevitable discovery rule.”



Williams: Williams contends that were it not for the illegally obtained statements from Williams by law enforcement, the evidence would not have been discovered or used against the defendant. The evidence obtained is considered the “fruit of the poisonous tree,” and therefore should not be admitted at trial. 



ISSUE: Once a violation of the Sixth Amendment right to counsel has occurred, can evidence obtained from the illegally-obtained statements be admitted at trial based on the fact that the evidence would have been discovered anyway?



DECISION: Yes, because the prosecution was able to prove that the same physical evidence would have been discovered even if the constitutional rights violation did not occur.

 

REASONING: The court applied the reasoning of the independent source doctrine to that of inevitable discovery. “The independent source doctrine teaches us that the interest of society in deterring unlawful police conduct and the public interest in having juries receive all probative evidence of a crime are properly balanced by putting the police in the same, not a worse, position that they would have been in if no police error or misconduct had occurred” (quoting from Nix v. Williams, 104 S.Ct. 2501, 2509 (1984)).



RULE OF LAW: Evidence that may have been obtained in violation of a constitutional protection may still be admissible if it can be proven by a preponderance of the evidence that it was inevitable that the evidence would have been discovered even if the violation had not occurred. This is known as the “inevitable discovery” rule. 

 

 

 

In this assignment, you will prepare an in-depth comparative analysis research paper between two different firms operating in two different countries but which have similar challenges. This analysis will provide an opportunity for you to compare and contrast and critically assess the impact on management decision making based on the differences in political, social, ethical, and legal environments. Specifically, your paper should:

• Identify two firms with similar problems but from different countries
• Conduct a comparative analysis of the firms
• Analyze political, social, ethical, and legal differences facing both organizations and determine the impact these differences have on management decision making
• Provide substantive conclusion and recommendations
• Support your analysis with academic citations and aligned references

Present your findings as a Word document of 3–5 pages formatted in APA style.

Submit your assignment.

Submitting your assignment in APA format means, at a minimum, you will need the following:

• Title page: Remember the running head and title in all capital letters.
• Abstract: This is a summary of your paper, not an introduction. Begin writing in third-person voice.
• Body: The body of your paper begins on the page following the title page and abstract page, and it must be double-spaced between paragraphs. The typeface should be 12-pt. Times Roman or 12-pt. Courier in regular black type. Do not use color, bold type, or italics except as required for APA level headings and references. The deliverable length of the body of your paper for this assignment is 3–4 pages. In-text academic citations to support your decisions and analysis are required. A variety of academic sources is encouraged.
• Reference page: References that align with your in-text academic sources are listed on the final page of your paper. The references must be in APA format using appropriate spacing, hang indention, italics, and upper- and lower-case usage as appropriate for the type of resource used.
