Serial killing and related
This is a small report for an assignment. A brief report on serial killing, what causes it to happen, what drives the killers to kill and so on.
Theory Case StudyThe course materials present a number of criminol.docx
Theory Case Study
The course materials present a number of criminological, sociological, and developmental theories that endeavor to explain delinquent behavior among juveniles. In this assignment, you will select a real-life, notorious crime committed by a juvenile. This may be a crime perpetrated by a juvenile many years ago, or a case that is still active and in current events. You will argue for one of the particular delinquency theories as the most appropriate explanation for the perpetrator's actions.
Examples could include:
Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, the shooters in the 1999 Columbine High School massacre
Lee Boyd Malvo, the juvenile half of the infamous Washington, D.C., snipers in 2002
Erik Menendez, age 17, murderer of his parents, assisted by his adult brother, Joseph Menendez, in 1989
the juvenile perpetrators (Eric Rivera, Jr., age 17; and Timothy Brown, age 16) involved in the home invasion and murder of Washington Redskins star player Sean Taylor in 2007
other juvenile offenders well-known at either the national or local level may be used
with the prior approval of the instructor
The paper should include the following sections:
an introduction presenting an overview of the crime, including BRIEFLY the basic facts of what happened
an analysis in which you present how one particular criminological, sociological, or developmental theory best explains the perpetrator's actions, and why
a discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of that particular theory—how it is that the theory may fall short in explaining certain aspects of the crime. In light of this, discuss what other theory or combination of theories may better account for those particular aspects of the crime
concluding thoughts summarizing your research and analysis
All outside sources must adhere to APA citation format for both narrative/content citations and bibliography page.
Format Requirements
Paper should be a minimum of 1,250 words or about five FULL narrative pages
Double space
12 pt. font
1” margins
Use APA citations for all sources (outside references not required)
Include APA reference page (not included in word count)

Criminological Research PaperOffenders commit crimes for differe.docx
Criminological Research Paper
Offenders commit crimes for different reasons. Criminological theories attempt to explain why crimes occur. For the Final Paper, you will evaluate the theoretical study of crime and crime causation by examining the crime of an offender and applying a criminological theory discussing why the offense occurred.
You must discuss both the offender and the crime in detail. Additionally, you must research the criminological theory to be used; discuss the theorist responsible for coining the theory, the year it was created, the premise of the theory, and how it is applicable.
Below is a list of offenders that were reported in the media as a result of the heinous nature of their offense. Select one of the offenders, and research their crime. You may only use scholarly sources when citing in your paper. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source.

Questions to ask of any source..
Who is the author?
Who wrote or created this? Is there a single or multiple authors? An author's identity sometimes helps you answer the later questions.
What type of source is this?
Is it a photograph or a poem? A biography or a government document? This is a simple but crucial step because you must consider what you can expect to learn from the document.
What is the message of this source?
What is the author describing? What is happening in the text or image? What is the story?
Who is the intended audience?
Who is the author addressing? Was the source intended for private or public consumption? Identifying the audience will help you answer the next question.
Why was this source created?
Does the author have an agenda, a larger purpose? Is the author trying to persuade the audience? Is the document or source simply a compilation of facts, or does it include opinion, inference, or interpretation?
Is this source credible and accurate?
Historians must examine every source with a critical eye. What do you know about the author? Does the document make sense? Do the facts presented by the author or what you know about the time period support the thesis, statement, assertion, or story the author is conveying? Why should you trust, or distrust, this source?
How is this source valuable to me?
How does the source relate to other sources from the time period or along the same issue or theme? Does it support or contradict them? Does it repeat information from other sources or add new information? How relevant is the source to your topic of inquiry? Does it extensively cover your topic, or only marginally or not at all? Remember, you should explore enough sources to obtain a variety of viewpoints.

Lab in Psychopathology Paper
Woodworth, M. & Porter, S. (2002). In cold Blood: Characteristics of Criminal homicides As a Function of Psychopathy. Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 111, 436-445.
Brief Summary
· The sample consisted of prisoners who were convicted for murder.
· The researchers sought to examine if there were differences in homicide pattern (specifically, type of violence) between prisoners who were diagnosed as psychopathic and prisoners not diagnosed as psychopathic.
· They focused on two types of violence: instrumental and reactive.
· Instrumental violence occurs when the injury of an individual is secondary to the acquisition of some external goal (or is the goal in itself).
· Reactive violence encompasses impulsive, immediate, and emotion-driven acts in response to a perceived threat, danger or insult.
· Based on intake data from prison documentation, prisoners were categorized as psychopathic or non-psychopathic using the Psychopathic Checklist – Revised (Hare, 1991).
· Murders were categorized as instrumental or reactive using coding criteria derived from the literature on violence.
· The gender of the murder victim was also recorded.
Assignment
You are asked to write a report of the study based on the data you are given.
Your research questions are:
1) Is there a significant relationship between psychopathy and murder type?
2) Is there a significant relationship between psychopathy and murder victim gender?
You should write it as if you are on the team of researchers who ran the study. You are writing it to communicate your findings – as if you would be submitting it to a journal for publication. As such, you must format it in APA style.
You can work in groups to analyze the data, and you can write the methods and results section as a group, but the introduction and discussion sections should be written ind.

Writing Assignment:
Write a four page double-spaced argument analysis paper in which you analyze the two letters by the clergymen and King. Put the letters in historical context by describing the rhetorical situation, with emphasis on the exigence, the audiences, and constraints. Explain the issue from both points of view. Summarize the positions taken on the issue in both letters. Describe and evaluate the support, the warrants, and backing in both. Identify any fallacies and describe how the author’s use rebuttal. Finally, evaluate the ethical and unethical qualities that appear in the letters and write a conclusion in which you make a claim about the relative effectiveness of the two letters. Which letter is more effective? Why? Have you views been modified or changed? How?
Writing the Argument Analysis Paper
Create a structure for your essay:
For example make a list or an outline.
Place your ideas in an order that makes sense. Since you will be comparing and contrasting you may want to write first about the clergymen’s letter and then King’s letter and draw conclusions about both of them at the end.
Explain the rhetorical situation. Be sure to place the letters in historical context and describe the audience that both are addressing. Then explain the issue from both points of view and summarize the authors’ positions.
State the claims and describe the support in both letters.
Include summarized, paraphrased, or quoted material from the letters to provide evidence to support your main points. (use MLA format for citations)
Write a conclusion in which you evaluate the letters. Are they ethical or unethical? Is one more effective and convincing than the other? Why?
Focus Topics to Help You Analyze the Letters
Answer the questions that accompany the eight focus topics listed.
1. Rhetorical Situation: Consider each of these points.
0. What is the exigence for these two letters? What caused the authors to write them? What was the problem? Was it a new or recurring problem?

In “Being WEIRD,” Ethan Watters looks at the work of social scientist Joseph Henrich,
whose research challenged long-held beliefs that humans share inherent psychological traits.
Henrich’s study of the “Ultimatum game” outside the industrial West showed that thinking and
decision-making processes are heavily shaped by culture; culture shapes how people perceive
the world around them, as well as their relationship to it, maybe even more than originally
assumed. Heinrich's research paper, co-authored with Steven Heine and Ara Norenzayan, finds
that Americans are significantly overrepresented in all kinds of scientific studies while also being
the most “weird” (by which Henrich et al. mean Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and
Democratic). The research by Henrich and his colleagues put culture at the front of all kinds of
experimental human research: as Watters puts it, “if human cognition is shaped by cultural
ideas and behavior, it can’t be studied without taking into account what those ideas and
behaviors are and how they are different from place to place” (499).
Watter’s “Being WEIRD” Contributes to the field of science, most specifically
anthropology and psychology, in many ways. His essay could be used as a starting point for
analyzing how specific aspects of American culture affect its citizens’ psyches and
decisionmaking.
Assignment Objectives:
For this paper, you will choose ONE aspect of American culture and use Watters'
"Being WEIRD," to form an argumentative analysis of how this cultural aspect affects
individuals in the United States. You should include at least one reference to another text we

CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION:
Argument: Argument directly and fully answers the prompt; is clearly stated early in the paper;
is original, compelling and logical, avoiding absolute claims.

Do school shooters have any characteristics in common with each other? Explain, and provide proof
.
A school shooter is also known as an active shooter.
This is an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area.
In most cases, active shooters use firearms and there is no pattern or method to their selection of victims.
These shooting are almost always planned.
One thing that really stands out is that school shootings almost take place by males.
There are only 2 recorded female school shootings.
Isolation and/or discrimination tend to be one of the things that most of the shooters have in common. They are not anti-social but followers that are not typically accepted into the groups they would like to be a part of.
There’s no demographic profile of what an active shooter looks like.
They range in age from 16 to 62, with an average age of 28, and they come from all different races.
Now, with the school victim body count near 200, the FBI suggests that many or most school murders “leak” threats before they kill.
Many display observable pre-attack behaviors which, if recognized, can lead to the disruption of a planned attack.
One student announced that “Monday will be the day of reckoning” the week before killing 3 of his peers.
Another high school student’s essays were filled with scenes of carnage, and this began 4 years before he brought a hunting rifle to school and started shooting.
Even Virginia Tech’s shooter leaked; so much so that he was .

Theory Case Study
The course materials present a number of criminological, sociological, and developmental theories that endeavor to explain delinquent behavior among juveniles. In this assignment, you will select a real-life, notorious crime committed by a juvenile. This may be a crime perpetrated by a juvenile many years ago, or a case that is still active and in current events. You will argue for one of the particular delinquency theories as the most appropriate explanation for the perpetrator's actions.
Examples could include:
Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, the shooters in the 1999 Columbine High School massacre
Lee Boyd Malvo, the juvenile half of the infamous Washington, D.C., snipers in 2002
Erik Menendez, age 17, murderer of his parents, assisted by his adult brother, Joseph Menendez, in 1989
the juvenile perpetrators (Eric Rivera, Jr., age 17; and Timothy Brown, age 16) involved in the home invasion and murder of Washington Redskins star player Sean Taylor in 2007
other juvenile offenders well-known at either the national or local level may be used
with the prior approval of the instructor
The paper should include the following sections:
an introduction presenting an overview of the crime, including BRIEFLY the basic facts of what happened
an analysis in which you present how one particular criminological, sociological, or developmental theory best explains the perpetrator's actions, and why
a discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of that particular theory—how it is that the theory may fall short in explaining certain aspects of the crime. In light of this, discuss what other theory or combination of theories may better account for those particular aspects of the crime

Week 9 highlights
The document provides information about writing thesis statements. It states that a thesis should include a topic and main idea or angle about the topic. It then lists characteristics of successful theses, such as expressing one main idea that controls the evidence and argument, encouraging discussion, and being supported by relevant evidence. The document emphasizes that a thesis should present a specific viewpoint, not just a fact. It provides an example of a weak fact-based thesis and encourages the reader to write a concise, specific, and authoritative thesis statement for their essay that can be proven with logical evidence.
Writing AssignmentWrite a four page double-spaced argument anal.docx
Writing Assignment:
Write a four page double-spaced argument analysis paper in which you analyze the two letters by the clergymen and King. Put the letters in historical context by describing the rhetorical situation, with emphasis on the exigence, the audiences, and constraints. Explain the issue from both points of view. Summarize the positions taken on the issue in both letters. Describe and evaluate the support, the warrants, and backing in both. Identify any fallacies and describe how the author’s use rebuttal. Finally, evaluate the ethical and unethical qualities that appear in the letters and write a conclusion in which you make a claim about the relative effectiveness of the two letters. Which letter is more effective? Why? Have you views been modified or changed? How?
Writing the Argument Analysis Paper
Create a structure for your essay:
For example make a list or an outline.
Place your ideas in an order that makes sense. Since you will be comparing and contrasting you may want to write first about the clergymen’s letter and then King’s letter and draw conclusions about both of them at the end.
Explain the rhetorical situation. Be sure to place the letters in historical context and describe the audience that both are addressing. Then explain the issue from both points of view and summarize the authors’ positions.
State the claims and describe the support in both letters.
Include summarized, paraphrased, or quoted material from the letters to provide evidence to support your main points. (use MLA format for citations)
Write a conclusion in which you evaluate the letters. Are they ethical or unethical? Is one more effective and convincing than the other? Why?
Focus Topics to Help You Analyze the Letters
Answer the questions that accompany the eight focus topics listed.
1. Rhetorical Situation: Consider each of these points.
0. What is the exigence for these two letters? What caused the authors to write them? What was the problem? Was it a new or recurring problem?
0. Who is the audience for the clergyman’s letter/ For King’s letter? What is the nature of these audiences? Can they be convinced? What are the expected outcomes?
0. What are the constraints? Speculate about the beliefs, attitudes, habits, and traditions that were in place that limited or constrained both the white clergyman and King. How did these constraining circumstances influence the audience for both letters at that time/
0. Think about the authors of both letters. Who are they/ speculate about their backgrounds, experience, affiliations, and values. What motivated them to write/
0. What kind of text is each letter? What effect do its special qualities and features have on an audience?
0. Think about yourself as a reader. What is your position on the issue/ do you experience constraints as read? Do you perceive common ground with either the clergyman or King, or both? Describe it. Are you influenced by these letters? How?
1. Organization and claims:
Divide each le.

In “Being WEIRD,” Ethan Watters looks at the work of social scientist Joseph Henrich,
whose research challenged long-held beliefs that humans share inherent psychological traits.
Henrich’s study of the “Ultimatum game” outside the industrial West showed that thinking and
decision-making processes are heavily shaped by culture; culture shapes how people perceive
the world around them, as well as their relationship to it, maybe even more than originally
assumed. Heinrich's research paper, co-authored with Steven Heine and Ara Norenzayan, finds
that Americans are significantly overrepresented in all kinds of scientific studies while also being
the most “weird” (by which Henrich et al. mean Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and
Democratic). The research by Henrich and his colleagues put culture at the front of all kinds of
experimental human research: as Watters puts it, “if human cognition is shaped by cultural
ideas and behavior, it can’t be studied without taking into account what those ideas and
behaviors are and how they are different from place to place” (499).
Watter’s “Being WEIRD” Contributes to the field of science, most specifically
anthropology and psychology, in many ways. His essay could be used as a starting point for
analyzing how specific aspects of American culture affect its citizens’ psyches and
decisionmaking.
Assignment Objectives:
For this paper, you will choose ONE aspect of American culture and use Watters'
"Being WEIRD," to form an argumentative analysis of how this cultural aspect affects
individuals in the United States. You should include at least one reference to another text we

Assignment 1: Criminal Conduct and Criminal Law
Due Week 4 and worth 140 points
According to the text, crime has been part of the human condition since people began to live in groups. Ancient documents indicate that conduct we now call murder, theft, or robbery was identified as criminal by civilizations that existed thousands of years ago. Criminal laws regulate human conduct and tell people what they can and cannot do and, in some instances, what they must do under certain circumstances. In this assignment, you will explore different types of criminal conduct and the goals of criminal law.

Teachers notes from powerpoint slides:
Do school shooters have any characteristics in common with each other? Explain, and provide proof
.
A school shooter is also known as an active shooter.
This is an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area.
In most cases, active shooters use firearms and there is no pattern or method to their selection of victims.
These shooting are almost always planned.
One thing that really stands out is that school shootings almost take place by males.
There are only 2 recorded female school shootings.
Isolation and/or discrimination tend to be one of the things that most of the shooters have in common. They are not anti-social but followers that are not typically accepted into the groups they would like to be a part of.
There’s no demographic profile of what an active shooter looks like.
They range in age from 16 to 62, with an average age of 28, and they come from all different races.
Now, with the school victim body count near 200, the FBI suggests that many or most school murders “leak” threats before they kill.
Many display observable pre-attack behaviors which, if recognized, can lead to the disruption of a planned attack.
One student announced that “Monday will be the day of reckoning” the week before killing 3 of his peers.
Another high school student’s essays were filled with scenes of carnage, and this began 4 years before he brought a hunting rifle to school and started shooting.
Even Virginia Tech’s shooter leaked; so much so that he was .

Consider a social worker who conducted a single subject design a.docx
Consider a social worker who conducted a single subject design along with focus groups to evaluate the effectiveness of a spiritual-based intervention for domestic violence survivors. The numerical data from the single subject design showed that the intervention helped to improve clients’ level of self-efficacy. The focus groups explored clients’ perceptions about what specific elements of the intervention they found helpful. After the focus groups were completed, they were transcribed, and the qualitative data was analyzed using content analysis.
This week, you will explore how qualitative research can be used to inform social work practice. In addition, you will have the opportunity to analyze content analysis findings of a real life focus group that was conducted.
Evidence-based social work practice calls for the use of research data to guide the development of social work interventions on the micro, mezzo and/or macro-levels. Kearney (2001) described ways qualitative research findings can inform practice. Qualitative findings can help social workers understand the clients’ experiences and “what it may feel like” (Kearney, 2001). Therefore, social workers can develop clinical interventions that take into account the experiences of their clients. Qualitative findings can also help social workers monitor their clients. For example, if after reading a qualitative study on how domestic violence survivors respond to stress, they can monitor for specific stress behaviors and symptoms (Kearney, 2001). In addition, they can educate their client what stress behaviors to look for and teach them specific interventions to reduce stress (Kearney, 2001)
Given the increasing diversity that characterizes the landscape in the United States, social workers need to take into account culture when formulating interventions. Social workers can utilize qualitative findings to plan interventions in a culturally meaningful manner for the client.
To prepare for this Discussion, read Knight et al.’s (2014) study from this week’s required resources. Carefully review the findings, the photographs, and how the researchers wrote up the findings. Finally, review the specific macro-, meso-, and micro-oriented recommendations.
Then read Marsigilia and Booth’s article about how to adapt interventions so that they are culturally relevant and sensitive to the population the intervention is designed for. Finally, review the chapter written by Lee et al. on conducting research in racial and ethnic minority communities.

Introduction
Diana Kapiszewski, Gordon Silverstein, and Robert A. Kagan*
In early nineteenth-century America, Alexis de Tocqueville (1835) famously
observed, "[Sjcarcely any political question arises...that is not resolved, sooner
or later, into a judicial question." That may have been a considerable exaggeration
at the time, but today, the dynamic Tocqueville highlighted marks many constitu-
tional democracies in which independent courts are vested with powers of judicial
review. In such countries, political actors, organizations, and ordinary individuals
who become enmeshed in political conflicts have strong incentives to frame their
desires as constitutional or statutory claims and ask courts to vindicate them.
As a result, in the early twenty-first century, courts have become versatile actors
in the governance of many constihitional democracies, and judges and justices
play multiple roles in politics and policymaking. As many observers have noted/
politically consequential courts have emerged in new democracies from Korea to
South Africa to Brazil and beyond; courts in more established democracies such as
Canada and New Zealand have been given or have assumed more power to protect
individual rights and invalidate government policies; and both the European Court
of Justice (ECJ) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) have taken on
dramatic roles in European governance.
However, the political power of courts has ebbed as well as flowed. In many
Latin American countries, judges are not blazing the way to robust constitutional
democracy in the way many hoped they might. The Hungarian Constitutional
Court, once hailed as one of the most significant new constitutional courts (Zifcak
1996), had its wings clipped less than a decade after its creation (Scheppele 1999).2
