It is important to understand your responsibilities as a criminal justice professional when engaging with citizens. This assignment is broken into three (3) parts and you must complete each part of the assignment. Each part includes a text or video scenario to which you will respond by writing a one to two (1-2) page paper for each scenario that examines specific information regarding the events using your knowledge of the Constitution.

Part I: Law Enforcement Officer Arrives at the Scene Scenario

Read the text scenario below:

An eighteen-year-old high school student walks to class carrying a backpack. He is stopped by the school security guard and his backpack is searched. A loaded handgun is discovered. The school security guard takes the student to the principal’s office. The principal calls the local police. In the state where the school is located, it is illegal to carry a concealed weapon without a permit and all weapons are prohibited on campus.

Officer Smith arrives at the school approximately 10 minutes later. Officer Smith takes a statement from the school security guard and searches the student’s backpack. He seizes the gun and places the student under arrest. Officer Smith then asks the student if he would like to make a statement to explain why he was carrying a concealed weapon on campus.

The student replies, “What weapon? That’s not my backpack and I never saw that gun before.”

The student is then transported to the local jail. However, on the way to the local jail, Officer Smith asks the student again why he brought a loaded gun on campus. The student admits that it was his gun and stated that he needed it for protection. Upon arrival at the local jail, the student is booked. Six hours later, the student is interviewed by a Detective Columbo. The detective reads the student his Miranda warning and asks the student if he would like to make a statement.

The student replies, “No, I want a lawyer.”

Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Part II: Arrest and Trial Scenario

Read the text scenario below:

Tyler, a well-known escort service provider in his community, is suspected of the murder of an escort who worked for him. The local police met Tyler at the airport when he arrived from a trip to Cancun. He is arrested for his suspected connection to the murder of the escort. The police do not inform Tyler of his right to remain silent or his right to counsel. They immediately begin to interrogate him. They continue to question him until he admits that he knew the prostitute and that she worked for him. He also admits that he was with her the night of the alleged murder. Tyler is transported to the local jail and booked. The prosecutor files charges of First Degree Murder against Tyler. Tyler does not waive his rights to a speedy trial. He asks that an attorney be appointed and demands a trial by jury.

Part III: Correctional Officers and Rights of Inmates

Hudson v. McMillian is a U.S. Supreme court case involving the excessive force resulting in a claim of cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment. The court’s decision resulted in the five-pronged Hudson test, also known as PANAM:

  • (P)erceived threat by correctional officers;
  • (A)ny and all efforts to deescalate;
  • (N)eed for the application of force;
  • (A)mount of force that was used and;
  • (M)edical issues, and extent of any injuries, that are used to evaluate cases involving any use of force before trial and after conviction.

The test helps the courts determine whether correctional officers’ actions were reasonable, necessary, and conducted in good faith (as opposed to malicious, unreasonable, and unnecessary).

Assignment Steps

Scenario: BizCon, a consulting firm, has just completed its first year of operations. The company’s sales growth was explosive. To encourage clients to hire its services, BizCon offered 180-day financing – meaning its largest customers do not pay for nearly 6 months. Because BizCon is a new company, its equipment suppliers insist on being paid cash on delivery. Also, it had to pay up front for 2 years of insurance. At the end of the year, BizCon owed employees for one full month of salaries, but due to a cash shortfall, it promised to pay them the first week of next year.

As the senior accountant, the Chief Financial Officer has asked you to prepare a memo to be sent to management notifying them of the delayed wage payments.

Prepare the memo in a maximum 700 words including the following information to better outline the situation:

  • Explain how cash and accrual accounting differs for each of the events listed in the above scenario and describe the proper accrual accounting.
  • Assess how at the end of the year, BizCon reported a favorable net income, yet the company’s management is concerned because the company is very short of cash. Explain to management how BizCon could have positive net income and yet run out of cash.

EXAMPLE POSTS:

EXAMPLE 1 – Safety Harness

1) I would like to create a safety harness for a household pet. This will be used in emergency situations if the animal is in danger and needs to be lowered to the first floor from a window.

2) What type of material will need to be used to secure an animal? At what price point does it seem logical for a person to purchase this product? How would I introduce this product to the public?

3) What type of material will be need to be used to secure an animal? I would like to experiment with different canvas materials that will provide security and comfort for the animals being put into this harness. My main concern is getting the animal to safety under an emergency. There will be different thicker materials for larger animals. I believe that this concept can make a vital impact on a household because of how important the animal is to the family.

4) I will test this theory by making the prototype harness with different canvas materials. There will be stuffed animal that is weighted to the size of the harness. I will not be testing animals in this experiment because I do not want to put them in any harm.

OR

EXAMPLE 2 – Contact Lens

For my idea for a new product, I have mentioned before in one of the topics, is a futuristic contact lens. This contact lens is basically a computer inside your head when you put on the lens to your eyes.

A few questions I would need to answer for my product is if it will be safe in the long-run for peoples’ health since it is a computer-like contact lens. There will be some pushbacks for some people because it may seem unhealthy to put such a device near your eyes. Second question would be on pricing. How would we price our product when it is the first one out there? Lastly, our final question would be on who our primary target audience will be. Will it be used for government use only or can anyone use this device?

My hypothesis is that this product, a computer-like contact lens will be used for government use only. This is because since it is a computer in a contact lens, people can hack it if they are good enough to hack such a device, which can have a numerous of negative impact. This is why at first, this product should be used for government/military use only for now until there is a final fix so that nobody can hack it.

There could be some way of testing this hypothesis by having skilled hackers, from Google, Yahoo and private security companies try and find a way to get into the computer-like contact lens. If somehow there was a way to hack one of the computer-like contact lenses, there could be a way to protect the lenses from other hackers from getting in since the company will use these skilled hackers to help them from other hackers from getting in.

The trait leadership theory makes me think of leaders of this county having children who follow in their footsteps as leaders. The mother or father teach the children how to be a leader with expectation that they will become leaders one day. These children are actively involved with leadership models who influence their personality and traits they display. The children tend to have the leadership role in their blood with high expectations from their successful parent who leads by example.

Essay question

What does Benedict Anderson mean by calling a nation an “imagined community”? How does such a conception come into being, according to Anderson? How useful or persuasive do you find his account?

Essay Requirements

1. Must be familiar with Benedict Anderson’s Imagined Communities

2. Essay should be 5-6 pages (double-spaced). Any reference style is acceptable as long as it is consistent. Always give references for direct quotes, as well as for information or evidence that you draw upon, and for particular opinions or approaches that you discuss.

3. The question, as given here, should be the title of the essay and written out at the top of essay. The essay should be an answer to the question exactly as set.

4. Use specific examples – refer to particular nations or nation-states and discuss them to illustrate your answer.

Suggestions

1. There is a brief but useful summary of the argument of Imagined Communities in the book by Umut Ozkirimli, Theories of Nationalism (3rd edition) , pp.114-112. Maybe you can find it online.

2. Please read the first three chapters carefully – “Introduction”, “Cultural Roots”, “The Origins of National Consciousness.” I think they are very important to answer the questions: what is meant by saying that the nation is an “imagined community”? How and why did the nation come to be seen in this way? In what ways does this concept differ from other concepts of the nation?

3. Chapter 7-9 (“The Last Wave”, “Patriotism and Racism”, “The Angel of History”) are also very important.
