Case Study Analysis Paper

Background

A significant criminal event may occur at any place and at any time. The size of the jurisdiction does not dictate the scope and scale of the incident. It is perfectly possible, even predictable, that investigative needs will be beyond the resources and/or sophistication of a local law enforcement agency. In such cases, one option is to expand the resources available through multiagency collaboration and cooperation (e.g., a task force). However, regardless of who or how many investigative resources are brought to bear on an incident, the parent agency remains responsible for the successful outcome of the criminal investigation.

Project Setting

Acting as a subject matter expert on criminal investigation, you have been asked to assist in the creation of a simulation exercise of a multijurisdictional criminal investigation. Some of the preliminary work has already been completed. Your specific task is to compile the post investigation review document (rubric) to be used by exercise assessors in their evaluation of the quality of the criminal investigation. This is what you know:

A series of 11 random explosions have occurred in an area that traverses two states, and a total of seven counties (five counties in one state and two counties in the other state), embracing a total of nine cities and incorporated towns. The explosions resulted in five deaths, 32 injuries, and significant property damage. In each case, the explosion was detonated remotely. The lead investigative agency is the Virtual, Maryland, Police Department, because the first three explosions occurred within its jurisdiction. VPD has about 100 sworn personnel, including 17 all-purpose detective investigators. It has a certified forensic laboratory for rudimentary analysis, staffed by credentialed civilians. Ultimately, two suspects were identified and apprehended, one adult male and one teenage (minor) male. Statements were made by each, resulting in investigative searches and seizures of forensic evidence. Both subjects eventually confessed to their respective and collective parts in the crimes.

Assessors in the simulation exercise will be debriefing the role players as to their actions; their understanding of the legal basis, purpose, and advantages and disadvantages of their investigative strategies; and the conduct of the investigation. The assessors have already come up with a series of questions for the participants. You have been asked to provide the "model" answer against which the responses of the participants will be graded.

Following are the questions to be posed by the simulation exercise assessors to the investigators:

Investigative Task Force
Assuming that legal authority was not an issue, should this investigation be conducted by VPD personnel or a multijurisdictional task force?
At what point should the potential of establishing an investigative task force be considered?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of an investigative task force?
Who, or what entities, should be involved in the decision to create an investigative task force?
Assuming, on balance, that you favor a task force approach, what difficulties do you foresee, and how will each be addressed?
What demands and/or concessions should VPD exercise in order to employ a cooperative task force in this particular case?

Legal Issues
1. What legal issues should be considered when embarking on a task force investigative strategy?

2. How are each of these issues resolved?

C. Forensic Evidence Collection and Analysis

Without regard to individual items of forensic evidence, describe the steps necessary to ensure that items, materials, and samples are eligible as forensic evidence in a criminal proceeding.
Why?
In what ways do the evidence collection procedures differ at the scenes of the explosions versus the residences of each of the suspects?

D. Testimonial Evidence

1. Describe the steps necessary to ensure that verbal or written communications from each of the suspects are eligible as testimonial evidence in a criminal proceeding.

2. Describe the direct and indirect consequences if the testimonial evidence is deemed inadmissible by the trial court.

E. Public Information

As the investigation proceeds, in general terms, what information is or is not available to
non-VPD members of the task force?
other law enforcement agencies?
family members of the deceased and injured victims?
credentialed news reporters?
community members?
Who should be the point of contact for investigative information, and how should that designation be decided?
Project Assignment

You will compose a comprehensive "model" response for each of the questions posed by the simulation exercise assessors. Note: This project submission is enhanced by outside resources that support the appropriateness of the model responses. Creditable resources and citations (or lack thereof) will be graded accordingly.

Grading for this project will be based on

the comprehensiveness of the model responses
your description of reasons and rationales for the responses provided
your general understanding of cooperation and collaboration in conducting criminal investigations
the clarity and efficiency of your writing
Review of this project will help the instructor determine your ability to

communicate effectively across a wide variety of stakeholders
apply sound knowledge of administration, leadership, and organizational principles to a law enforcement agency
use interpersonal and leadership skills to work both independently and cooperatively as a member of a criminal justice team
Format Requirements

Paper should be a minimum of 2,500 words or about ten pages
Double space
12 pt. font
1 margins
Use APA citations for all sources

The paper will be centered on the following scenario:

Mary Ellis, a widow who resides with her adult son William, awakens on a Saturday morning and goes to her walk-in closet, where she finds a man whom she recognizes as a neighbor, Clyde Stevens, lying on the floor unresponsive. Mrs. Ellis calls 911. Minutes later, police and EMS personnel arrive. Mr. Stevens is pronounced dead from an apparent stabbing, as he has a large butcher knife protruding from his back. Mrs. Ellis is transported to the hospital for observation, as she is quite distraught.

Crime scene investigators actively process the scene. In William's bedroom, technicians develop a blood fingerprint adjacent to a light switch, using an amino acid stain, after locating the print using the absorptive properties of blood and a portable argon laser. The crime scene investigator photographs the print and recovers a sample of the blood for DNA analysis. The print is from the right index finger of William Ellis, and DNA analysis matches the blood to Clyde Stevens.

Discussion and research should address, at the least, these questions:

First, describe the 4th Amendment as it applies to entry into a persons home. What is needed for police to obtain a warrant, and under what circumstances can police enter a private residence without one?

Second, based on what you know of this scenario, provide an analysis of whether police had the legal right to access the Ellis household. What about Marys bedroom? Williams bedroom?

Third, explain the exclusionary rule and the fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine and their importance. How do these relate to this scenario?

Finally, describe what steps you would have taken had you done this investigation to ensure that all individuals rights were protected and all evidence could be used at trial.

As you think about this scenario and related legal concepts, you may want to research the following cases:

Mincey v. Arizona (1978)
Weeks v. United States (1914)
Mapp v. Ohio (1961)
Silverthorne Lumber Co. v. United States (1920)
Nardone v. United States (1939)

Paper should contain 6 references, preferably from original court cases and their holdings or findings, as well as peer-reviewed sources.

Research authoritative articles for a recent case of antitrust investigation. You are free to choose a case from any industry and any part of the world. Based on the case you have selected, answer the following questions.

Why was/were the firm(s) investigated for antitrust behavior?
Identify some of the costs (pecuniary and nonpecuniary) associated with the antitrust behavior (firms having power in the market). Additionally, note the specific antitrust act (Sherman Act, Clayton Act, etc.) under which the violation was investigated.
Given your research and findings, are monopolies and oligopolies (firms demonstrating power) always bad for society? Be sure to provide real world examples of where this may be the case to strengthen your position.
Provide at least one example of a case where having a monopoly or oligopoly may actually benefit the society.
Based on your findings to the questions listed above, write a report with a minimum of 300 words in essay format in APA style (use the APA template in Doc Sharing), using correct economic terms covered in the discussions. If you ONLY write 300 words, you probably won?t be able to fully answer the questions.

Key concepts to include in your paper include the following.

Monopoly Market Structure
Oligopoly Market Structure
Barriers to Entry Into the Market
Natural Monopoly
Government Monopoly
Downward Sloping Demand Curve
Economies of Scale
Price Fixing
Collusion
Monopoly Pricing
Price Maker
Market Power
Economic Profits
Imperfect Competition
Rent-Seeking Behavior
X-Inefficiency
Deadweight Loss to Society
Marginal Cost
Marginal Revenue
Antitrust

Try to gather as muchresearch as possible for any two accidents and then compare and contrast the investigation, looking for such things as crash dynamics, accessibility, needed resources, thoroughness of the investigators involved,human factors issues, etc. I welcome any aspect of these accidents. Also, this is an opinionated type of paper, I want to know your thoughts as the writer, view points and opinions concerning the accident investigation from start to finish. There is no certain requirement for the number of pages in your analysis, but remember, it has to be thoroughfor the average citizen of the public to understand it.

The Accident's to be investigated are going to be Delta Airlines, Flight 191 - L-1011, Dallas/Forth Worth, TX and United Airlines, Flight 173 - DC-8, Portland, Oregon.

Both accidents involved a certain degree of human factors and I want you to tap into that and the last moments before the accidents.

The paper should have 5 pages of content and prepared using APA 6th Edition standards. WDon't forget the basics; spelling, grammar, and APA format.

Throughout history certain deaths have been reviewed and official reports (critiques of the investigation) written. Investigations into the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the explosion aboard the USS Iowa, the Michael Jackson case, the Jon Benet Ramsey Murder, the 911 Murder Cases, the Yorkshire Ripper Murder Cases (UK), and the Paul Bernardo Murder Cases (Canada) have had reports documenting those investigations.

For your assignment, select a homicide(s), suicide, or accidental death.

Being a Crime Scene Investigator must be a terrible job. All of the things you see day in and day out must begin to take their toll on you. Do you remember your first day on the job? You were so na?ve back then, you actually thought this was going to be easy. There?s probably that one nagging case that you can?t seem to get out of your head. Is it the worst one you?ve ever seen? Or is it the one that you just can?t seem to solve? Because you?ve been under so much stress lately on the job, your sergeant has asked that you talk with the staff psychologist to get a grip. Go ahead, tell the good doctor all about the absolute worst case you?ve ever investigated.
