3-2 Discussion: Insanity or Not? Lacey is involved in a violent marriage for five years. One night, after her husband pushes her down the stairwell and proceeds to continuously beat her, Lacey shoots him. She calls 911, reports the crime, and asks for an ambulance. At the hospital, a detective interviews her and notes that she appears to be quite calm when explaining what happened. Lacey admits to killing her husband but claims that it was a cycle of abuse and that she was scared for her life. The prosecutor confers with the detective and charges Lacey with murder in the first degree. If you were Lacey’s defense attorney, what defenses would you use? Review the law on insanity in your state. Based upon the laws of your state, can she use an insanity defense? In your reply posts, compare and contrast the law in your state with the laws your classmates discuss. .

Case Study The Case of Rick Rick is a 16-year-old male who has had numerous encounters with law enforcement. Currently, Rick is on juvenile probation and attends an alternative school. Among other things, Rick was diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in his early childhood. Rick’s parents have brought Rick in for counseling to your office because even they do not believe that his probation supervision is sufficiently restrictive. Rick has routinely been in trouble at school and in the community. He surrounds himself with a number of younger youth who look up to his acts of violence and intimidation. Rick also experiences periods of very serious anger and is given to outbursts when he is frustrated. He has been known to hit other kids when he is angry and he has even made threats at teachers during his periods of intense fury. Rick is also very good at lying. He lies constantly about his whereabouts and is difficult to locate. He is fond of going from house to house and friend to friend. He also stays out late despite his parent’s attempts to keep him from doing so. He breaks the city ordinance curfew for juveniles. In fact, two nights ago Rick was reportedly out in a neighborhood at 2:00 a.m. with some other youth, drinking beer and beating mailboxes with an aluminum bat. One of the girls who was with the group told him that he was immature and he should stop. Rick called her a number of inappropriate names and then threw a brick at the girl, luckily he missed. At age 11, Rick was diagnosed with conduct disorder in addition to his diagnosis of ADHD. He exhibited acts of cruelty toward pets and other animals and seemed indifferent to the pain they suffered. In fact, he indicated a bizarre and morbid fascination with their death. The violence committed by Rick continued to progress and, by the age of 13, Rick had coerced one of his 9-year-old female cousins into sexual intercourse. In fact, he had done this on three different occasions, and, were it not for another family member accidentally walking in on the third circumstance of victimization, it is unknown how many times he would have done that. This was reported to the authorities and Rick was charged with this offense in juvenile court. Reference: Hanser, R., & Mire, S. (2011). Correctional Counseling.

CASE STUDY ONE COLLEEN M.Colleen M. is a 15-year-old Caucasia.docx

michelljubborjudd

CASE STUDY ONE: COLLEEN M. Colleen M. is a 15-year-old Caucasian girl. She has lived in the state for her entire life. Her father abandoned the family when she was an infant and her mother is currently in a drug rehabilitation facility. Colleen has been living on a farm with her aunt. Although she has no prior contact with the law, she admits to having run away from her aunt in the past, though she always returned on her own. Colleen’s current trouble is centered on a neighbor’s dispute about her dog. After the dog bit the neighbor, the neighbor threatened and attempted to take the dog to animal control. When the neighbor later found Colleen and the dog trespassing on her property, the neighbor verbally threatened to “get” them both. Apparently, the neighbor set fire to a scarecrow on her property to emphasize her point. At this point, Colleen threw a nearby bucket of liquid on the neighbor. The liquid was later determined to be a pesticide. The pesticide burned the skin on contact and triggered an extreme allergic reaction in the neighbor, resulting in her death. Colleen was charged with involuntary manslaughter and was determined delinquent by the court. Colleen claims that she was simply attempting to douse the fire. Coincidentally, a few weeks prior, Colleen had been a passenger of a motor home that had collided with a vehicle driven by the neighbor’s sister. This accident resulted in the neighbor’s sister’s death, though it was ruled an accidental homicide. Witnesses report that Colleen took a pair of fancy shoes off the feet of the corpse and immediately put them on her own feet. Colleen defends her actions by claiming that an observer told her to do this. At the time of her arrest, Colleen’s blood tested positive for opiates. Colleen claims that while traveling with three homeless men, they unknowingly stumbled upon a field of poppies and that before they knew it; the intoxicating aroma caused her to pass out. Colleen claims not to have a drug problem. Colleen states that all she wants to do now is go home and that she misses her Aunt Emily. CASE STUDY TWO: XANDER L.

gabriellabre8fr

Officer Johnson, from the Centervale Police Department, visits the family you met in Module 1 and notices Lucy crying in the kitchen; she reveals a bruised cheek when she finishes drying her eyes. Johnson asks what's wrong. Lucy shakes her head and walks out. Junior rolls his eyes at Johnson and says, "Lucy is upset because her stupid friend died—she needed to know that she shouldn't be fighting with a man, and she got what she deserved." Johnson looks at Junior curiously, and then Junior tells him what happened over the weekend. Junior explains with pride how the business is run. Lucy is asked to solicit friends into prostitution. She tells them how she makes her own money and how easy it is to make a quick buck. Lucy invites her friends to her home for a sleepover, where the girls are sexually assaulted by Rob, Lucy's father. What Had Happened: Over the weekend, Lucy organized a sleepover for a friend who was interested in making some money. Rob tried to molest and rape her. Lucy's friend resisted, and Rob struck the girl. She fell from the bed and hit her head on the floor. Rob quickly carried her outside and placed her in the trunk of the car. He took her to an abandoned shed on the outskirts of the town and tied her up. Later, Rob returned and realized that although he had thought the girl was knocked out, she had actually died when she hit the floor. Junior notes, "It's not like dad planned to kill her. She just wanted to fight; so he had to control her." At Present: Officer Johnson contacts social services as a juvenile was assaulted. The children are taken from their home for interrogation. They reveal a much larger scale of criminal activity that has been going on. In a minimum of 250 words, post your responses to the following to the Discussion Area : Identify the crimes that you feel may have been committed. Consult your state statutes to find out if there is an applicable state crime to be charged. Since you were successful in locating your applicable laws in Module 1 , return to the same website and continue with this assignment. Note : Make sure you also look at the juvenile codes in your state statutes. In cases where children below eighteen years of age are involved, action is taken in the juvenile court or the district court depending on the jurisdiction.

This must be lengthy in response to the questions needing to be answ.docx

MARK547399

This must be lengthy in response to the questions needing to be answered. Please make sure there is at least 3 paragraphs to each question. Domestic abuse is extremely complicated. It’s not a photograph that registers the minute you look at it. It’s three-dimensional. It’s a piece of sculpture. You have to take the time to walk around it, studying it from different angles, if you want to understand what it’s really like for a woman who is living with an abuser. Elaine Weiss, Ed.D. Family & Friend’s Guide to Domestic Violence, 2003 In your reading for this week Miller ( The Controversy About Women's Use of Force ) explores intimate violence against men and the validity of the CTS. The author also introduces the concept of "mutual combat" or "mutual battering." This hotly debated and complex issue involves a variety of factors but two important issues need mention here. First, changes in law enforcement policies have created what is commonly referred to as mandatory arrest policies . Mandatory arrest policies typically state that when responding to domestic violence calls the violent offender should be arrested. Originally lauded by practitioners and advocates as a major step in holding perpetrators accountable for their abusive behavior, many are beginning to rethink their stand of these policies. In jurisdictions where police officers determine who to arrest based on "visible signs of injury" battered women who have used force to defend themselves may be arrested, referred to as a batterer and mandated to attend a batterer's treatment program (typically a socioeducational intervention group for male batterers). The reality that many survivors use force against their partners, and are now being arrested for such, has led to the controversial concept of mutual battering . In some police jurisdictions the practice of making dual arrests in which both parties are arrested sometimes leads to the above outcome as well. Second, early attitudes about domestic violence identified males as batterers and women as victims. As our understanding of this complex issue increases, we are beginning to understand that gender is not the most effective criteria for determining the primary aggressor nor is counting how many times who hit whom. In particular, gender criteria becomes useless when addressing abusive same sex relationships. Please review the Miller article (in e Reserves ) in addition to Determining the Primary Aggressor (under Week 3 Content ) For the purposes of this discussion, please respond to the case study below. Determining the Primary Aggressor Scenario Jane Brown has been married to Ralph Brown for thirteen years. They have three children, ages 11, 9, and 6. One evening Ralph contacts the local police department on his cell phone explaining that his wife is trying to kill him. When the police arrive they find the children crying, the house in disarray, the phone has been pulled from the wall, Jane is hysterical and Ralp ...

This document discusses the link between college binge drinking culture and the prevalence of sexual assault on campuses. It notes that peer pressure and desire for acceptance leads many students, especially freshmen, to binge drink, leaving both victims and perpetrators vulnerable. Through personal stories of victims who were assaulted after drinking, the document explores the difficulties of obtaining justice, given he said/she said dynamics and rape myths that blame victims. It advocates for universities to take the problem more seriously through policies that address binge drinking culture and support for victims.

Self-Defense: Shawn and Denise were married and lived in Texas. Shawn had been physically abusing his wife Denise for several months. One fateful day Shawn assaulted Denise brutally, and she left him. Some weeks later Shawn met up with Denise and convinced her to return home. In the meantime, Denise had applied for a gun permit and purchased a gun. The next time Shawn started beating Denise, she shot and injured him. Denise is charged with attempted murder. Based on the above information, answer the following questions: Can Denise claim self-defense as a justification for shooting Shawn? Why? Cite case laws to support your answer. What are the trends in the U.S. courts with regards to convicting women who use the battered-woman defense? Use the Internet to perform your research. How is the battered-woman defense related to self-defense? Would your answer change if Denise had killed Shawn? Why? Cite any appropriate case law to support your answer. Justify your ideas and responses by using appropriate examples and references from Lexis Advance (including primary sources such as cases, statutes, rules, regulations, etc.), government Web sites, peer-reviewed legal periodicals (not lawyer blogs), which can be supplemented by law dictionaries or the textbook. This means you need to use more than just your text and legal dictionaries. Juvenile Crimes: You work for a defense attorney. The attorney is retained to represent a 10-year-old girl accused of murdering an 11-year-old boy. The two children had a fight while they were playing together in the girl's home. She pushed him down the stairs. He sustained serious head injuries and died. Using the Internet, research the statutes of Ohio, and determine whether the girl will be tried for the murder as a juvenile or as an adult. According to Ohio statutes at what point will she be tried as an adult or a juvenile? Is it appropriate for a child of this age to be charged with murder? Is her age a mitigating circumstance for her crime? Why?

Sexual abuse in Female Adolescents Filipino experience final

Milen Ramos

1) The three cases discussed involved repeated incidents of sexual abuse. In the first case, rape occurred across multiple generations in the same family. In the second case, the adolescent acted out sexually after being adopted abroad. In the third case, the foster child was raped again by her foster father. 2) False memory syndrome was observed, as the subjects reported details of their abuse differently depending on who they spoke to. This suggests the memories may have been contaminated over time. 3) The repeated nature of the abuse and evidence of false memory syndrome indicate the psychological impact of early life trauma was not adequately addressed, leaving the subjects vulnerable to revictimization.

Write a 12 to one page (150–275 words) response in which you answer.docx

lindorffgarrik

Write a 1/2 to one page (150–275 words) response in which you answer the three questions that follow the case study below: As a female correctional officer, you have been working at the same women's prison for fifteen years. The inmates call you Marge and respect you as being firm yet fair. You have made some mistakes during your career, but no one has ever questioned your intentions or integrity. Like anyone working in prison, you have found some inmates you like more than others. However, it is rare for you to find an inmate with whom you cannot work with at all. In fact, you are dedicated to the point that you will often spend some of your own time participating with the female inmates in recreation, arts and crafts, and other cell-block activities. There is one inmate you are particularly fond of. She is a young woman about nineteen years of age who is in on a drug offense. Lisa is a shy girl who comes from a broken home. She never had much of a family life; both of her parents had failed in previous marriages. Lisa's drug problems had started in high school when she got mixed up with the wrong crowd. She had felt accepted by the drug crowd, and life seemed easier to cope with while on drugs. Lisa was beginning to use hard drugs when she got busted. Because she was with a friend who was selling large quantities of drugs, her bust resulted in a trial and a two-year sentence. While in prison, Lisa has come to you on several occasions with personal problems. Being a first-time offender, she has found prison life tough to adjust to. You and she have become good friends in a mutually trusting relationship. On this particular day, however, your relationship is being tested. Lisa has asked you to mail a personal letter to a close friend who lives in her hometown.Since her friend is not a member of her family or her lawyer, his name is not on the approved mailing list. She knows your mailing the setter would violate institutional policy but says it is very important to her that she contact her friend just this one time. You know that other correctional officers occasionally mail letters for inmates. You also realize that it would be relatively easy for you to mail this particular letter. Still, it is a violation of policy. If you do not mail the letter, your relationship with Lisa will more than likely deteriorate. If you do mail the letter, you may suffer unanticipated consequences. The decision is going to be a difficult one, and you are going to have to make it. Answer the following: Relationships of trust between inmates and correctional officers are not uncommon. How could such a small violation of prison policy create any problems? What could the CO do to maintain the relationship and not violate the rules? Is violating rules always an ethical transgression? .

Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury Description:  The purpose of this discussion is for you to gain a better understanding of how the insanity defense might be applied in an actual case  For the final discussion you will become a member of a jury and decide whether the defendant in the case described below should be found not guilty by reason of insanity. The case facts are based on an actual case, and I will tell you the results of the actual case once the discussion ends  Assume the case is taking place in a state that has adopted the “irresistible impulse” insanity test. Use this week’s course material to make sure you understand the irresistible impulse test  Read the facts of the case over a couple of times before beginning your initial response and note which facts might relate to the irresistible impulse test  As a member of the jury, in this case discuss whether you would find the person not guilty by reason of insanity and justify your decision. You should demonstrate your understanding of the “irresistible impulse” insanity test by applying the irresistible impulse test to the facts of the case in your initial response. Do not make your decision based on emotions, as the judge has instructed the jury that it must apply the law (the insanity defense) to the facts Facts of the Case: Defendant was born in the Midwest into a fundamentalist family. He was always painfully shy and suffered from low self-esteem. As a child, he was molested by a neighbor. First, his father left the home. Then, after a bitter divorce, his mother took his brother, and left Defendant with his father. His parents weren’t speaking and Defendant didn’t even know how to contact his mother and brother. Defendant’s history of abandonment left him with feelings of loss and rejection. When young, Defendant impaled the heads of animals he killed on stakes in his yard. He collected dead animals and had necrophiliac desires. Defendant’s stepmother said, "When he was young, he liked to use acid to scrape the meat off dead animals." She recalled during the late 1980s, an odor emanated from the basement and garage prompting Defendant's father, a chemist, to investigate. He found "bones and the residue in the containers." Defendant told him he stripped flesh from an animal he found. As a teen, Defendant had fantasies of killing and mutilating men. After graduating from high school at age 17, he was left alone at home, without money or food, and a broken refrigerator. It is believed by some that this experience, abandonment, and mental illness gave him the justification he needed to commit crimes. However, his own history shows that he had serious problems long before this event. Defendant committed his first murder at age 18. He killed a young hitchhiker he invited to his house, where he killed him with a barbell, then smashed his bones with a hammer because he "didn't want him to leave." He would not kil.
