CRJ 501 Week 1 Journal Biological Explanations
of Crime NEW
Week One Journal: Biological Explanations of
Crime. Due by Day 7. Genetic characteristics such
as intelligence, neurobiology, and
neurochemistry were once considered suitable
avenues of study in the quest to explain criminal
offending and violent behavior. These theories
then began a slow decline as they came to be
considered less than politically correct and were
dropped from many scholars’ research
schedules. In recent years various biological
theories and explanations of crime have started
to gain wider acceptance.

3. In your journal, reflect upon the social and
ethical ramifications of a wider acceptance for
biological explanations of crime. Identify how
the consideration of biological explanations of
crime could affect policy development, policing,
and the adjudication of offenders. Your journal
entry this week should be at least one page in
length.

CRJ 501 Week 2 Journal 4th Amendment and
Cellular Telephone Searches NEW
Week Two Journal: 4th Amendment and Cellular
Telephone Searches. Due by Day 7. Recently, the
U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 9-0 decision that
law enforcement officers must obtain a search
warrant prior to conducting a search of an
individual's cellular telephone. Failure on the
part of law enforcement officials to obtain the
necessary search warrant would render any
information acquired during such a search
inadmissible in a court of law.
Police organizations contend that searching
suspects’ cell phones is a vital part of the duty to

7. protect officers during the course of an arrest.
Privacy advocates maintain that contents
contained within an individual’s cell phone
should be considered private, similar to a home
or an office.
Analyze the application of the Constitution to the
operational functions of the police. Identify
ethical issues relevant to the Court’s ruling, and
explore such questions as whether arresting
officers might be endangered due to the Court's
ruling. Consider whether the Court’s decision
incapacitates the police as they attempt to
maintain order and arrest criminal perpetrators.
Your journal entry this week should be at least
one page in length.

CRJ 501 Week 4 Assignment Impact of Tennessee
v. Garner (1985) NEW
Impact of Tennessee v. Garner (1985). Due by
Day 7. In this assignment, you will focus on the
Supreme Court ruling and aftermath of
Tennessee v. Garner (1985). Scholars have
argued that this one case has had more influence
over the criminal justice system than any other.
Use your Peak (2015) text and the Tennenbaum
(1994) article for information pertaining to the
ramifications of the Court's decision.
In your paper
Summarize the facts that the responding officer,
Hymon, considered in his decision to use deadly
force

16. against Garner.
Explain whether or not you believe the officer
made a reasonable decision, taking into account
the
situational factors.

CRJ 501 Week 4 Journal Fleeing Felon NEW
Week Four Journal: Fleeing Felon. Due by Day 7.
As we have all seen, the Supreme Court's ruling
in Tennessee v. Garner transformed many
aspects of daily operational procedures for law
enforcement. While the decision was extremely
controversial at its inception, as time has worn
on most people, including police officers, have
acknowledged that the Court was correct and
just in its assertion that the use of deadly force
against an unarmed fleeing felon was
unconstitutional.
In the light of recent controversies surrounding
a spate of police shootings of unarmed civilians,
many of the issues pertinent in the Tennessee
ruling have been raised again.

18. In this week’s journal, explore the issue of the
use of deadly force against a fleeing felon. In
your own words, state why you think such a use
of force should be allowed or disallowed by the
courts. Are the police just in using deadly force
against an individual who flees after having
committed (or is suspected of committing) a
felony? Are the police just in using deadly force
against an individual who is suspected of
committing a felony but takes evasive action?
Reflect upon those two questions. Your journal
entry this week should be at least one page in
length.

CRJ 501 Week 6 Final Paper Systems Paper
Miranda v. Arizona (1966) NEW
Systems Paper. Due by Day 7. The focus of the
Systems Paper will be on the system-wide effects
that various Supreme Court decisions have had,
and continue to have, on the field of criminal
justice. You will select a Supreme Court case
from the list provided below, outline details of
the case and its deposition, and trace the ruling’s
repercussions as the various components of the
criminal justice system are affected. A single
decision has the capacity to greatly alter
criminal justice operating procedures. Some
decisions have important effects, but their ability
to create system-wide changes in policy is
moderate. Other decisions have seemingly

20. mundane outcomes, yet end up causing vast
changes in policy for various components of the
criminal justice system.
First, select one Supreme Court case from the list
below:
Tennessee v. Garner (1985)
Escobedo v. Illinois (1964)
Miranda v. Arizona (1966)
Cooper v. Pate (1964)
Cruz v. Beto (1972)
Furman v. Georgia (1972)
Williams v. Florida (1970)
Gideon v. Wainwright (1963)
Powell v. Alabama (1932)
Harris v. United States (1968)
Terry v. Ohio (1968)
Florida v. Harris (2013)
Mapp v. Ohio (1961)
Weeks v. United States (1914)
Illinois v. Perkins (1990)

21. Using the selected case, in your paper;
Summarize the background and details of the
case and the justices’ ruling.
Identify the specific component of the criminal
justice system that was most affected by the
Supreme
Court’s ruling.
Provide an in-depth analysis of any operational
policy, hiring, or training policy that was, or
would be,
required to change due to the legal decision.
Describe what systemic effect the Supreme
Court’s decision had, or has, for the remaining
components of
the justice system.
Detail how a single Court ruling can have
systemic effects.
Identify and trace system-wide transformation
caused by a particular Court ruling.
Cite quotations taken directly from the original
court case transcripts. Only select one case from
the list upon which to build your paper. Citations
and basic information pertaining to each case

22. can be found in the Peak (2015) text. For more in
depth discussions and original Court
documentation, a FindLaw, Oyez, Google, or Bing
search will elicit a plethora of reputable sources.
Remember, Wikipedia should never be
considered a reputable source of scholarly
information.
The Systems Paper
Must be 12 to 15 double-spaced pages in length
(excluding title and reference pages), and
formatted
according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford
Writing Center.
