Most crimes applicable to citizens are covered under state or federal
statutes. Upon completion of this assignment, you will be able to locate
your state statutes, search within them a variety of crimes, and decipher
their elements.
Tasks:
For this assignment, you are required to prepare a 10-slide Microsoft
PowerPoint presentation with speaker notes incorporating the content in
the reading assignments for this week and material from your state
statutes.
Statutes are the laws unique to the state where you live and are passed
by the legislature. You are not to use the federal statutes passed by
Congress. Start your research on your state home page on the Internet.
Look for a link to the state statutes. Another alternative is to do a search,
for example, for Colorado state statutes, on the Internet.
Once you have located the state statutes, you will search for crimes
against property or crimes against persons. Another alternative is to
search for the particular crimes after you have completed your reading
assignments in the textbook.

2. In your presentation, you will include:
• Five slides on crimes against persons
• Five slides on crimes against property
You will establish the elements of each of the crimes and explain
whether the crime is a felony or a misdemeanor.
In addition, you will include a slide at the end of your presentation for
your references in the APA format, as is required for all Argosy
assignments. Refer to your Argosy Handbook or APA materials to
properly cite your text and your state statutes. On your state judicial
branch home page, there may also be information on how to cite the
state statutes.

the vehicle a short distance from the residence.

between her and her boyfriend. Roberto interviews Sarah's boyfriend

report will only cause more trouble for her. Sarah refuses to file the
report, refuses medical treatment, and asks to be left alone. Roberto
returns to the residence, offers Sarah contact information of an
