Analysis of an Offender

/in /by

As a criminal justice professional, you will likely deal with offenders on a daily basis. Understanding the causes of criminal behavior is essential to learning how to handle offenders, how offenders are most effectively rehabilitated, and how to protect society from criminals. All too often, however, theoretical explanations for criminal behavior are never applied to criminal behavior in real-life situations. The Final Project in this class is designed for you to apply what you have learned about in this class about the causes of criminal behavior to a real-life criminal.

 

You are responsible for selecting one specific criminal. You must be able to research and track down detailed information about this specific criminal. Be sure that there is enough information surrounding his or her:

 

  • Upbringing
  • Behavior over the course of a lifetime
  • Social relationships
  • Specific details pertaining to criminal offending patterns

 

Once you locate an offender who you wish to research, you will need to create an analysis of the offender that takes into consideration the following:

 

Detailed Overview (2 pages)

 

  • Provide a detailed overview of the offender, and his or her life and crimes.
  • Discuss the nature of the offender’s crimes.
  • Explain how his or her criminal offending is consistent or inconsistent with what is known about the nature of criminal behavior.

 

Causes of Crime (8 pages)

 

  • This section of the paper is the most important and should contain a sufficient amount of detail pertaining to all of the potential causes of crime based on what is known about the offender.
  • Discuss the potential social and environmental causes of the offender’s behavior.
  • Discuss the potential psychological causes of the offender’s behavior.
  • Discuss the potential biological and genetic causes of the offender’s behavior.

 

Type of Offender (2 pages)

 

  • Identify the type of offender.
  • Based on the type of offender that you are researching, explain some of the unique issues presented by this type of offender.
  • Discuss the obstacles to rehabilitation for this specific type of offender.

 

Apprehension (2 pages)

 

  • Discuss whether criminal profiling could have been used to apprehend this criminal sooner.
  • Explain how the details of this specific offender could be used in the apprehension of future criminals.

 

Policy Implications (1 pages)

 

  • Briefly discuss some of the policy implications that might flow directly from what is now known about this offender.
  • Discuss how policy could be revamped in terms of prevention and rehabilitation.

Because I understand that this is new to some of you, I thought you might find this free Khan academy video helpful

After you watch this, explain how this knowledge will help you in projecting crime occurrences as well determining the need for more or less patrols in an area.

I NEED THIS ASAP ONLY HAS TO BE 175 in words need reference on first one

 

 

 

I need a reply on both of these above only 75 words needed

 

THIS IS A SAMPLE OF WHAT IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE

Taking crime data over a period of time one see the crimes that are being committed. You can see the frequency of the crimes and the times that the crimes are occurring. For example if five reports come in for car break-ins between that occurred between the hours of twelve and six. This shows that we need to step up are patrols in those areas during those times. Now if we have one murder during the same time in the same area which is a more serious crime. That in itself could explain for the car break-ins. A murder investigation is a large investigation and very resource demanding which would pull a lot of the resources off the street. Now the murder is something that is very hard to combat but the car break-ins is not. Now since there was only one murder the frequency of the murder was one the variance was low but the seriousness of the crime was larger than the car break-ins. With the variance formula one can assign values of the crimes and the distance from each other. One can also see the frequency of the crime and direct the available police resources to those affected areas to combat those problems.

NEED REPLY ON THIS ONE ALSO ONLY 75 words

 

   During a period of time a study could be conducted by a police department and the data can be collected after the completion of the study. Upon collection of this data the areas of the city can be researched and be examined to determine where the worse areas are located, what crimes are being committed, and what is needed to reduce activity in that area. the police department would be able to implement more resources to those areas to reduce criminal activity. The data being collected could also be used to discover what are the most frequent crimes happening and around the time these criminal activities are taken place. This would be very helpful when conducting this study so the departments will know where to send more available resources and what will be needed to combat crime. The variance can help determine the difference or distance from other crimes and the frequency between different criminal activities from more serious crimes to lesser criminal offenses in the selected areas
