Prior to beginning work on this assignment, please review the articl.docxkeilenettie
Prior to beginning work on this assignment, please review the article Blended Sentencing Laws and the Punitive Turn in Juvenile Justice (Schaefer and Uggen, 2016). In addition, please review resources included in your Week 3 Annotated Bibliography assignment. Finally, examine the Building a More Just Society case scenarios multimedia below.
Background
You work as a paralegal in a public defender’s office. In an upcoming presentation to a local legislative committee, the public defender plans to address criminal justice issues, constitutional principles, cultural sensitivity, and diversity awareness to promote social justice goals in local communities. You have been asked to assist the public defender in preparing the presentation. To this end, you will explore processes and issues in three criminal cases, applications for criminology, and relevant critical perspectives toward the goal of building a more just society.
Your Task
The public defender hopes to gain funding to support programs that respond to criminal justice issues and that promote a more just society. Earlier in this course, you had an opportunity to criminology through the works of Messer et al. (2016), Salvatore (2017) and Zoutewelle-Terovan & Skardhamar (2016). These authors consider how criminology may help to explain factors that associate with crime. Recall for example the consideration of life course theory in Messer et al. (2016). To help the public defender with preparation, you have been asked to create a paper between six and eight pages in length. Your description of processes, explanation of issues, and analysis of critical perspectives will provide the foundation for the public defender’s address to the local legislative committee, and thereby promote support for programs and laws that address large societal problems and that promote the social justice principles of equality, solidarity, and human rights to build a more just society.
The public defender has come across three distinct cases that highlight the criminal justice issues that the legislature needs to address. Each case is preceded by a video summary that will comprise a portion of the public defender’s presentation to the legislative committee. To provide context for the public defender’s presentation to the legislative committee, the initial part of your paper should explain issues and describe processes about the following case scenarios:
The Three Cases
Case No. 1: Juvenile Justice and Law Enforcement
Case Description (also included in the multimedia content)
Through the process of waiver, the defendant was transferred from the juvenile justice system to the criminal justice system on drug related charges. If convicted, the defendant could receive a prison sentence. The defendant resides in an impoverished community. The public defender seeks funding for community treatment centers that respond to drug issues.
When in custody, the defendant claims that law enforcement asked incriminating ques ...
According to George Gerbner, television plays a large role in the .docxnettletondevon
According to George Gerbner, television plays a large role in the cultivation of our values as a society. After viewing The Electronic Storyteller and reading Jean Kilbourne’s, “Beauty and The Beast of Advertising”, I started to wonder if there could be a link between violence against women and television consumption. My content analysis primarily focuses on television drama (including both primetime television shows and daytime soap operas) and television entertainment programs like music videos and professional wrestling. It is my hypothesis that violence against women, as depicted on television, increases male viewer’s likelihood of having rape-permissive attitudes towards women.
The first article that I found regarding this topic is “Television’s Role in the Culture of Violence Toward Women: A Study of Television Viewing and the Cultivation of Rape Myth Acceptance in the United States”. This article accepts Gerbner’s view that television is a powerful cultivator of norms in our society. After illustrating the fact that almost 20% of American women are the victims of either a completed or attempted rape the researchers of this article go on to show television’s role in maintaining our society’s hostile attitude towards women. Television’s depiction of women continues to show us in roles that are both less powerful and less meaningful than that of men. The researchers contend that this constant representation of women’s inferiority may lead both men and women to internalize these beliefs about women’s roles and worth. And once men begin to believe that a woman’s value is less than that of a man’s, it is easier to trivialize violent acts committed against her. The researchers hypothesize:
1. Daily television viewing will significantly and positively predict the belief that women’s accusations of rape are untrue.
2. Daily television watching will significantly and positively predict the acceptance of rape myths.
To test these hypotheses, the responses of a sample of over 1,000 responders were analyzed. Responders were asked about their daily television consumption during a typical weekday. They were also asked to distinguish how much time was spent watching crime shows versus soap operas and then were asked questions to gauge their acceptance of rape myth. The researchers found that daily television watching was both significantly and positively correlated with perceptions that rape accusations are false and the acceptance of the rape myth.
The second study that I found is “Music Videos, Pro Wrestling and Acceptance of Date Rape Among Middle School Males and Females: An Exploratory Analysis”. I decided to use this article because of its focus on our youth. I was curious as to the age in which the acceptance of violence against women can begin in a society. The researchers of this study analyzed the 462 females and 442 males who answered the Teen Media Project Health Survey. Among the many questions asked, studen.

Racial Inequality-Juvenile Justice System Case Study
Abstract:
While researchers have discovered that Black American Youth face higher chances of involvement with the juvenile justice system. This has raised eyebrows when compared with the Whites counterparts and the big question of my research is examining whether Black Americans are the criminal race? A sample of about 537 Black American adolescents residing in low-income urban communities took part in the survey connected with juvenile justice.
The report findings applying regression logistic models signaled that adolescents who reported engagement with juvenile injustice system; were 2.4 times as likely to present youth offending delinquent, substance abuse and psychological problems. The research paper suggests that targeting and recognizing several contacts of the juvenile justice system especially the minority race maybe profitable. Finally, the paper creates room for future research advancement to examine whether network peer norms might reconcile the connections between juvenile justice engagement and youth behavior challenges.
Introduction
For over 10 years, the Justice Department has been attempting to lessen the racial uniqueness found in adolescent captures and adolescent detainment, a reality that underscores the presence of racially dissimilar captures and sentences. According to Liberty (2013), African American youth capture rates for medication infringement, strikes, and weapon offenses are higher than capture rates for white youth; despite the fact that both report comparative rates of wrongdoing. While some have reprimanded the remarks by previous Education Secretary and Drug Czar William Bennett, they sadly trust his remarks are situated in reality.
The individuals who trust that African American or Latino youth are increasing; criminal than some other ethnic gatherings are just off-base. The genuine certainties disclose to us considerably more than generalizations, or musings both of which cloud the well-recorded divergent treatment, agreed African Americans contrasted with whites inside the equity framework. These remarks on racially divergent wrongdoing, additionally ignore the region of corporate wrongdoing. In an original meta-examination led by scientists Carl Pope and Richard Feyerherm for the Justice Department, 66% of the investigations of state and neighborhood adolescent equity frameworks found that; there was a "race impact" at some phase of the adolescent equity process that influenced results for minorities for the more regrettable.
Borrowing the perspective of Williams (2018), their examination proposed that the impacts of the race might be felt at different choice focuses, they might be immediate or backhanded, and they may amass as youth proceed through the framework. The absolute mos.

1. A key point to get out of this topic is the idea that these errors are theoretical. You won't be sure as to whether one occurred or not. Why are they theoretical in nature? Hint: think about a study and knowing the "truth"
2. Pick a study of interest and identify the null and alternative hypothesis. How does this fit in with regards to the topic of a type I and type II error? Always keep this in mind when you are trying to identify what a type I and type II error are.
A minimum of 75 words each question and References (IF NEEDED)(Response #1 – 7) KEEP RESPONSE WITH ANSWER
Make sure the Responses includes the Following: (a) an understanding of the weekly content as supported by a scholarly resource, (b) the provision of a probing question. (c) stay on topic
1) According to the reading, we set the alpha which is the largest probability for type I error. To increase the power of a hypothesis researchers can use larger samples which provides more information and raise the significance level which increases the probability that the hypothesis will be rejected.
2) A Type 1 error occurs when individuals involved in research make the decision to reject the belief of truth when in actuality the hypothesis is true. Type 1 errors are errors in research when the researcher makes the wrong decision to reject a true null hypothesis. Type II errors are considered less of a problem than Type 1 errors, but can prove to be detrimental in the field of medicine. This type of error occurs when researchers decide to keep a false null hypothesis, when in fact the hypothesis is true. The method to avoid making Type 1 decisions is to test the null hypothesis at the highest level (Alpha Level). This will lessen the possibilities of making this type of error (Privitera, 2018).
3) According to Privitera (2018) a type 1 error is the probability of rejecting a null hypotheses that is actually true, researchers purposely make this error. A null hypotheses is a statement about a population parameter that is assumed to be true, this hypotheses is a starting point (Privitera, 2018). The type 2 error or beta error is the probability of retaining a null hypotheses that is actually false (Privitera, 2018). The type 1 error is committed when a researcher decides to reject previous notions of truth that are in fact true (Privitera, 2018). The best way to avoid these types of errors is to be open minded and not reject notions if there is fact to back the notions up. In my opinion a type 1 error is something committed with bias by the researcher. I say this because as a researcher it is their job to find all facts or at least most all facts and apply them to their study or research, especially if they commit a type one error knowingly. If a researcher does this error then they are not following through with basic research guidelines.
4) A one-tailed test is used in a hypothesi.
How do you begin to present your research findings outside of the academic community?

Paul-Elder Critical Thinking Framework
Critical thinking is that mode of thinking – about any subject, content, or problem — in which the thinker improves the quality of his or her thinking by skillfully taking charge of the structures inherent in thinking and imposing intellectual standards upon them. (Paul and Elder, 2001). The Paul-Elder framework has three components; two of which we will cover this semester:
The elements of thought (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
The intellectual standards (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
According to Paul and Elder (1997), there are two essential dimensions of thinking that students need to master in order to learn how to upgrade their thinking. They need to be able to identify the "parts" of their thinking, and they need to be able to assess their use of these parts of thinking.
Elements of Thought (reasoning)
The "parts" or elements of thinking are as follows:
All reasoning has a purpose
All reasoning is an attempt to figure something out, to settle some question, to solve some problem
All reasoning is based on assumptions
All reasoning is done from some point of view
All reasoning is based on data, information and evidence
All reasoning is expressed through, and shaped by, concepts and ideas
All reasoning contains inferences or interpretations by which we draw conclusions and give meaning to data
All reasoning leads somewhere or has implications and consequences
Universal Intellectual Standards
The intellectual standards applied to these elements are used to determine the quality of reasoning. Good critical thinking requires having a command of these standards. According to Paul and Elder (1997 ,2006), the ultimate goal is for the standards of reasoning to become infused in all thinking so as to become the guide to better and better reasoning. The intellectual standards include:
Clarity
Could you elaborate?
Could you illustrate what you mean?
Could you give me an example?
Accuracy
How could we check on that?
How could we find out if that is true?
How could we verify or test that?
Precision
Could you be more specific?
Could you give me more details?
Could you be more exact?
Relevance
How does that relate to the problem?
How does that bear on the question?
How does that help us with the issue?
Depth
What factors make this difficult?
What are some of the complexities of this question?
What are some of the difficulties we need to deal with?
Breadth
Do we need to look at this from another perspective?
Do we need to consider another point of view?
Do we need to look at this in other ways?
Logic
Does all of this make sense together?
Does your first paragraph fit in with your last one?
Does what you say follow from the evidence?
Significance
Is this the most important problem to con.

Destiny Nance
ISSUES 2
Southern New Hampshire University
In every other nation, the criminal justice system plays a very huge role in delivering justice and punishing those who break the law. However, all around the globe, there are several issues that almost every other justice system is struggling to deal with. One of the most common issues that are being dealt with is the issue of inordinate/ excessive use of force by law enforcement. In the least technical terms possible, the use of excessive force can be defined as the use of too much force by the police when dealing with people. In most cases, the use of this excess force may end up harming the same people that the police forces are initially supposed to protect. Even though police forces are punishable by the courts of law for use of excessive force, the issue remains one of the major issues that affect the criminal system to date. (Hargreaves‐Heap, 2002).
In the modern day, people tend to think that excessive use of force by police officers is an issue of the past and one that no one should talk about. However, this is not all true as discrimination has not ended but has only evolved. In the old days, policemen mainly used excessive force on people of color or even slaves who at that time did not have rights that could make the officers be punished for doing this. However, in the modern days, the issue has evolved all over the globe, there have been cases where policemen have used excessive force on their subjects regardless of their color. One of the things that have made the issue keep changing is the advancement of technology where police officers are expected to wear body cams that will monitor all their actions while on duty. different amendments that have been made to the constitution with the main aim of empowering people of color.
For quite some time now, people have been fighting against the use of excessive force. However, I believe that recently there might have been a breakthrough all because of technology. technology has changed people's perspectives especially by showing them how brutal police officers can be when they use excessive force. For instance, in the year 2020, a man named George Floyd was murdered by a police officer due to the use of excessive force. The video of the incident went viral and people came together to protest against the issue. This was one of the biggest protests where people protested together regardless of their color, culture, and even location (Hutson, 2009).

Ahmed Alqahtani – The Death Penalty and the War on Drugs
-In Chapter 21, why does Bright think that it would be harmful to society’s morals if we were to murder murderers, rape rapists, and torture torturers? Why does Bright think that the use of the death penalty undermines the standing and moral authority of the United States? Do you agree or disagree? Why?
Bright discussed some of the issues of death penalty in which why the United States should not use it. He pointed out the innocent people who were sentenced to death for crimes they did not commit. In general, there are tons of cases in the USA that accusing innocent people for crimes they never done it. That caused by failure of justice or not trying the best to find the truth. We can notice that in some cases the court or the officers will take the fastest, easiest way to close a case, which causes the failure of justice.
I personally agree and disagree with Bright. I agree that death penalty should not be a quick decision unless there are very clear evidence of the crime. For example, the Las Vegas shooting that happened in 2017, when a guy called Paddock was responsible for killing 58 innocent people who were just having fun. In this a case with such a terrorist attack, if that guy did not kill himself and was arrested, he clearly deserves to die.
-Which nations are the top executors in the world? How many citizens does the United States execute each year? What percentage of murders are punished with the death penalty? Is there a correlation between lower murder rates and greater use of the death penalty in the regions of the United States? Do people convicted of war crimes like genocide receive the death penalty?
The top nations executors are China with thousands of executions, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and the United States with 22 executions in 2019.
Genocide are not punished with death penalty in societies that do not have capital punishment, as they do not see it necessary to engage killing in order to punish.
-In Chapter 27, Huemer argues that one has a right to use drugs. He also declares that this right is not absolute or exceptionless. Explain the author’s argument with support from your readings. Do you think this argument supports or refutes the war on drugs? Why?
I believe that Huemer’s point is similar to what is happening in California and other states that legalized Marijuana. Instead of fighting it, allowing it under some rules for safety and turn it into billion-dollar industry and give people the right to use it.
But in the case of drugs, I think it is a lot more complicated. The idea we have about a guy who takes drugs is like someone who is suiciding. The transformation that person goes through, from good to the very worst version of himself, is a prove how hazard it is. Legalizing it will make it just very easy for people to addict it, and the consequences of th.

We have learned in Chapter 5 of our book that inductive inference is the most common kind of inference of all. It happens every day in each of our lives. This discussion will give each student a chance to create examples of common forms of inductive inference.
Prepare: To prepare to answer this prompt, take another look at Chapter 5 of our book, paying close attention to the names of the various forms of inductive inference. Take a look as well at the required resources from this week.
Reflect: Think about examples you have seen of each type of inductive inference in daily life. Consider the relative strength of such inferences in light of the methods of evaluation that you learned in the chapter.
Write: To answer the prompt, create or find one example each of three different types of inductive inference that we learned in Chapter 5. Clearly indicate as well which type of inductive inference it is. For each of your arguments, include an analysis of its degree of strength using the evaluative methods we learned in the chapter for that type of argument.
Guided Response:
Respond to at least three of your classmates’ posts. In each case provide substantive thoughts about the strength of the inference. Mention as well what premises you think could be added to strengthen the inference or which might weaken it. How do you think that the argument could be improved?

Appeals to authority, inductive generalizations, and statistical syllogisms are three common types of inductive inference. Appeals of authority means implying a truth because the source is an authority or subject matter expert. Some considerations to consider during analysis would be: Is the authority or subject matter expert a real, verified expert in the field? Do other subject matter experts in the field agree with the conclusion? Is the question relevant to the subject matter expert in their area of study? Another consideration is if the subject mat.

Racial Inequality-Juvenile Justice System Case Study
Abstract:
While researchers have discovered that Black American Youth face higher chances of involvement with the juvenile justice system. This has raised eyebrows when compared with the Whites counterparts and the big question of my research is examining whether Black Americans are the criminal race? A sample of about 537 Black American adolescents residing in low-income urban communities took part in the survey connected with juvenile justice.
The report findings applying regression logistic models signaled that adolescents who reported engagement with juvenile injustice system; were 2.4 times as likely to present youth offending delinquent, substance abuse and psychological problems. The research paper suggests that targeting and recognizing several contacts of the juvenile justice system especially the minority race maybe profitable. Finally, the paper creates room for future research advancement to examine whether network peer norms might reconcile the connections between juvenile justice engagement and youth behavior challenges.
Introduction
For over 10 years, the Justice Department has been attempting to lessen the racial uniqueness found in adolescent captures and adolescent detainment, a reality that underscores the presence of racially dissimilar captures and sentences. According to Liberty (2013), African American youth capture rates for medication infringement, strikes, and weapon offenses are higher than capture rates for white youth; despite the fact that both report comparative rates of wrongdoing. While some have reprimanded the remarks by previous Education Secretary and Drug Czar William Bennett, they sadly trust his remarks are situated in reality.
The individuals who trust that African American or Latino youth are increasing; criminal than some other ethnic gatherings are just off-base. The genuine certainties disclose to us considerably more than generalizations, or musings both of which cloud the well-recorded divergent treatment, agreed African Americans contrasted with whites inside the equity framework. These remarks on racially divergent wrongdoing, additionally ignore the region of corporate wrongdoing. In an original meta-examination led by scientists Carl Pope and Richard Feyerherm for the Justice Department, 66% of the investigations of state and neighborhood adolescent equity frameworks found that; there was a "race impact" at some phase of the adolescent equity process that influenced results for minorities for the more regrettable.
Borrowing the perspective of Williams (2018), their examination proposed that the impacts of the race might be felt at different choice focuses, they might be immediate or backhanded, and they may amass as youth proceed through the framework. The absolute mos.

1. A key point to get out of this topic is the idea that these errors are theoretical. You won't be sure as to whether one occurred or not. Why are they theoretical in nature? Hint: think about a study and knowing the "truth"
2. Pick a study of interest and identify the null and alternative hypothesis. How does this fit in with regards to the topic of a type I and type II error? Always keep this in mind when you are trying to identify what a type I and type II error are.
A minimum of 75 words each question and References (IF NEEDED)(Response #1 – 7) KEEP RESPONSE WITH ANSWER
Make sure the Responses includes the Following: (a) an understanding of the weekly content as supported by a scholarly resource, (b) the provision of a probing question. (c) stay on topic
1) According to the reading, we set the alpha which is the largest probability for type I error. To increase the power of a hypothesis researchers can use larger samples which provides more information and raise the significance level which increases the probability that the hypothesis will be rejected.
2) A Type 1 error occurs when individuals involved in research make the decision to reject the belief of truth when in actuality the hypothesis is true. Type 1 errors are errors in research when the researcher makes the wrong decision to reject a true null hypothesis. Type II errors are considered less of a problem than Type 1 errors, but can prove to be detrimental in the field of medicine. This type of error occurs when researchers decide to keep a false null hypothesis, when in fact the hypothesis is true. The method to avoid making Type 1 decisions is to test the null hypothesis at the highest level (Alpha Level). This will lessen the possibilities of making this type of error (Privitera, 2018).
3) According to Privitera (2018) a type 1 error is the probability of rejecting a null hypotheses that is actually true, researchers purposely make this error. A null hypotheses is a statement about a population parameter that is assumed to be true, this hypotheses is a starting point (Privitera, 2018). The type 2 error or beta error is the probability of retaining a null hypotheses that is actually false (Privitera, 2018). The type 1 error is committed when a researcher decides to reject previous notions of truth that are in fact true (Privitera, 2018). The best way to avoid these types of errors is to be open minded and not reject notions if there is fact to back the notions up. In my opinion a type 1 error is something committed with bias by the researcher. I say this because as a researcher it is their job to find all facts or at least most all facts and apply them to their study or research, especially if they commit a type one error knowingly. If a researcher does this error then they are not following through with basic research guidelines.
4) A one-tailed test is used in a hypothesi.

Paul-Elder Critical Thinking Framework
Critical thinking is that mode of thinking – about any subject, content, or problem — in which the thinker improves the quality of his or her thinking by skillfully taking charge of the structures inherent in thinking and imposing intellectual standards upon them. (Paul and Elder, 2001). The Paul-Elder framework has three components; two of which we will cover this semester:
The elements of thought (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
The intellectual standards (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
According to Paul and Elder (1997), there are two essential dimensions of thinking that students need to master in order to learn how to upgrade their thinking. They need to be able to identify the "parts" of their thinking, and they need to be able to assess their use of these parts of thinking.
Elements of Thought (reasoning)
The "parts" or elements of thinking are as follows:
All reasoning has a purpose
All reasoning is an attempt to figure something out, to settle some question, to solve some problem
All reasoning is based on assumptions
All reasoning is done from some point of view
All reasoning is based on data, information and evidence
All reasoning is expressed through, and shaped by, concepts and ideas
All reasoning contains inferences or interpretations by which we draw conclusions and give meaning to data
All reasoning leads somewhere or has implications and consequences
Universal Intellectual Standards
The intellectual standards applied to these elements are used to determine the quality of reasoning. Good critical thinking requires having a command of these standards. According to Paul and Elder (1997 ,2006), the ultimate goal is for the standards of reasoning to become infused in all thinking so as to become the guide to better and better reasoning. The intellectual standards include:
Clarity
Could you elaborate?
Could you illustrate what you mean?
Could you give me an example?
Accuracy
How could we check on that?
How could we find out if that is true?
How could we verify or test that?
Precision
Could you be more specific?
Could you give me more details?
Could you be more exact?
Relevance
How does that relate to the problem?
How does that bear on the question?
How does that help us with the issue?
Depth
What factors make this difficult?
What are some of the complexities of this question?
What are some of the difficulties we need to deal with?
Breadth
Do we need to look at this from another perspective?
Do we need to consider another point of view?
Do we need to look at this in other ways?
Logic
Does all of this make sense together?
Does your first paragraph fit in with your last one?
Does what you say follow from the evidence?

3-2 Milestone One: Submit Selection of Contemporary Criminal Justice Issue
Destiny Nance
ISSUES 2
Southern New Hampshire University
In every other nation, the criminal justice system plays a very huge role in delivering justice and punishing those who break the law. However, all around the globe, there are several issues that almost every other justice system is struggling to deal with. One of the most common issues that are being dealt with is the issue of inordinate/ excessive use of force by law enforcement. In the least technical terms possible, the use of excessive force can be defined as the use of too much force by the police when dealing with people. In most cases, the use of this excess force may end up harming the same people that the police forces are initially supposed to protect. Even though police forces are punishable by the courts of law for use of excessive force, the issue remains one of the major issues that affect the criminal system to date. (Hargreaves‐Heap, 2002).
In the modern day, people tend to think that excessive use of force by police officers is an issue of the past and one that no one should talk about. However, this is not all true as discrimination has not ended but has only evolved. In the old days, policemen mainly used excessive force on people of color or even slaves who at that time did not have rights that could make the officers be punished for doing this. However, in the modern days, the issue has evolved all over the globe, there have been cases where policemen have used excessive force on their subjects regardless of their color. One of the things that have made the issue keep changing is the advancement of technology where police officers are expected to wear body cams that will monitor all their actions while on duty. different amendments that have been made to the constitution with the main aim of empowering people of color.
For quite some time now, people have been fighting against the use of excessive force. However, I believe that recently there might have been a breakthrough all because of technology. technology has changed people's perspectives especially by showing them how brutal police officers can be when they use excessive force. For instance, in the year 2020, a man named George Floyd was murdered by a police officer due to the use of excessive force. The video of the incident went viral and people came together to protest against the issue. This was one of the biggest protests where people protested together regardless of their color, culture, and even location (Hutson, 2009).

Ahmed Alqahtani – The Death Penalty and the War on Drugs
-In Chapter 21, why does Bright think that it would be harmful to society’s morals if we were to murder murderers, rape rapists, and torture torturers? Why does Bright think that the use of the death penalty undermines the standing and moral authority of the United States? Do you agree or disagree? Why?
Bright discussed some of the issues of death penalty in which why the United States should not use it. He pointed out the innocent people who were sentenced to death for crimes they did not commit. In general, there are tons of cases in the USA that accusing innocent people for crimes they never done it. That caused by failure of justice or not trying the best to find the truth. We can notice that in some cases the court or the officers will take the fastest, easiest way to close a case, which causes the failure of justice.
I personally agree and disagree with Bright. I agree that death penalty should not be a quick decision unless there are very clear evidence of the crime. For example, the Las Vegas shooting that happened in 2017, when a guy called Paddock was responsible for killing 58 innocent people who were just having fun. In this a case with such a terrorist attack, if that guy did not kill himself and was arrested, he clearly deserves to die.
-Which nations are the top executors in the world? How many citizens does the United States execute each year? What percentage of murders are punished with the death penalty? Is there a correlation between lower murder rates and greater use of the death penalty in the regions of the United States? Do people convicted of war crimes like genocide receive the death penalty?
The top nations executors are China with thousands of executions, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and the United States with 22 executions in 2019.
Genocide are not punished with death penalty in societies that do not have capital punishment, as they do not see it necessary to engage killing in order to punish.
-In Chapter 27, Huemer argues that one has a right to use drugs. He also declares that this right is not absolute or exceptionless. Explain the author’s argument with support from your readings. Do you think this argument supports or refutes the war on drugs? Why?
I believe that Huemer’s point is similar to what is happening in California and other states that legalized Marijuana. Instead of fighting it, allowing it under some rules for safety and turn it into billion-dollar industry and give people the right to use it.
But in the case of drugs, I think it is a lot more complicated. The idea we have about a guy who takes drugs is like someone who is suiciding. The transformation that person goes through, from good to the very worst version of himself, is a prove how hazard it is. Legalizing it will make it just very easy for people to addict it, and the consequences of th.

Due Week 8 and worth 200 points
In preparation for this assignment, please view the Jurisville scenarios and resulting simulations from Weeks 5 through 7 in Unit 2: Courts.
In the scenarios and resulting simulations, Tim Smith, senior criminal lawyer, discusses select cases and asks a paralegal to indicate which courts would have exclusive jurisdiction of the cases in question. He also discusses various pretrial procedures and illustrates them with select cases. Finally, Tim Smith introduces the case of Roland Gary, who served twenty-three (23) years in prison for a crime that he did not commit. The case brought to light several key issues, along with the manner in which they were resolved.
Use the Internet to research three real-life cases from the past five (5) years that fit the following criteria:
Cases that depict the unique processes related to different courts
The defendant accepted a plea bargain as an alternative to trial
The defendant was wrongly accused and later vindicated
Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:
Discuss one (1) real-life criminal case, taken from current events, and identify the court that took jurisdiction. Explain why the court that took the case was the appropriate one for the particular circumstances.
Discuss the real-life case that you have selected, in which the defendant accepted a plea bargain as an alternative to trial. Give your opinion on whether or not justice was served in the case in question. Provide a rationale for the response.
Discuss the real-life case that you selected, in which, like Roland Gary, the defendant was wrongly accused and later vindicated. Explore one (1) key aspect of the case and examine its relation to the case at large. Describe the resolution to the selected case.
Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment.
Note:
Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
Summarize the current ethical issues faced by criminal justice professionals and future of the criminal justice system.
Explain the development of American courts and illustrate the concept of the dual-court system.
Distinguish between the various courtroom participants, and describe the stages in a criminal trial.

Your instructor will choose the discussion question and post it as t.docxlanagore871
Your instructor will choose the discussion question and post it as the first post in the discussion forum. The requirements for the discussion this week are a minimum of four posts on four separate days, including responses to at least two classmates.. The total combined word count for all of your posts, counted together, should be at least 600 words. Answer all the questions in the prompt, and read any resources that are required to complete the discussion properly.
In order to satisfy the posting requirements for the week, complete your initial post by Day 3 (Thursday) and your other posts by Day 7 (Monday). We recommend that you get into the discussion early and spread out your posts over the course of the week. Reply to your classmates and instructor. Attempt to take the conversation further by examining their claims or arguments in more depth or responding to the posts that they make to you. Keep the discussion on target, and analyze things in as much detail as you can.
We have learned in Chapter 5 of our book that inductive inference is the most common kind of inference of all. It happens every day in each of our lives. This discussion will give each student a chance to create examples of common forms of inductive inference.
Prepare: To prepare to answer this prompt, take another look at Chapter 5 of our book, paying close attention to the names of the various forms of inductive inference. Take a look as well at the required resources from this week.
Reflect: Think about examples you have seen of each type of inductive inference in daily life. Consider the relative strength of such inferences in light of the methods of evaluation that you learned in the chapter.
Write: To answer the prompt, create or find one example each of three different types of inductive inference that we learned in Chapter 5. Clearly indicate as well which type of inductive inference it is. For each of your arguments, include an analysis of its degree of strength using the evaluative methods we learned in the chapter for that type of argument.
Guided Response:
Respond to at least three of your classmates’ posts. In each case provide substantive thoughts about the strength of the inference. Mention as well what premises you think could be added to strengthen the inference or which might weaken it. How do you think that the argument could be improved?

Appeals to authority, inductive generalizations, and statistical syllogisms are three common types of inductive inference. Appeals of authority means implying a truth because the source is an authority or subject matter expert. Some considerations to consider during analysis would be: Is the authority or subject matter expert a real, verified expert in the field? Do other subject matter experts in the field agree with the conclusion? Is the question relevant to the subject matter expert in their area of study? Another consideration is if the subject mat.

Your Final Project from this course will enable you to compare cultu.docxmelbruce90096
Your Final Project from this course will enable you to compare cultural viewpoints toward death and dying in Western society to those in other parts of the world.
Final Project Information
Overview
Your Final Project will be a medium-length essay in which you address the cultural viewpoints toward death and dying in Western society and compare these to the perspectives toward death and dying in other parts the world. As the course content will point out, much about the Western response to death and dying amplifies the process of grief and bereavement, perhaps unnecessarily. In the West, death is something that is denied and, in many ways, is something that people seem ill-equipped to deal with once the event occurs or is imminent. Your job in this paper will be to put on your social scientist cap and offer “cultural solutions” to the way that death and dying is dealt with in Western society.
Assignment
Based on your own independent research in which you compare the cultural beliefs toward death and dying in Western societies to those in Eastern societies such as China, Vietnam, Japan, and so forth, write an essay that addresses the following points:
Describe in detail the major differences between the Western viewpoint toward death and dying and those in these Eastern societies (you may focus on one country, such as China, or talk about Eastern societies more generally). Be sure to describe the rituals involved with the process of death and dying, the various technologies, or anything that helps explain these differences.
Give one specific example of a famous case of death and dying in Western society that demonstrates some of the problems or dysfunctions of the Western viewpoint (examining cases in the media, for example, will be a great place to start!).
Finally, conclude your final paper with a detailed commentary about what we can do to change the cultural beliefs toward death and dying in Western societies in a way that makes us less afraid of the dying process. Be very specific in your commentary.

Do you agree with Gandhi? Does wealth correlate with immorality? Yes or no. Explain by referring to passages from the essay.
Compare David Suzuki’s understanding of interdependence [interconnectedness] with Ricard and Thuan’s.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Oral microbiome and diabetes and obesity
Background: Diabetes and obesity are among the leading health
problems in the US. Oral microbiome may play roles in
maintaining systemic health including diabetes and obesity,
through pathogen inhibition, immune regulation, nutrition
absorption and absorption, and as a portal for bacteria to gain
access into the respiratory and digestive tracts. However, direct
evidence linking oral microbiome and diabetes and obesity is
lacking.
Methods: We conducted a case-control study nested from the
Southern Community Cohort Study, and sequenced the mouth
rinsing samples for the 16S rRNA gene using Illumina MiSeq.
Results: A total of 693 OTUs were obtained. For each OTU, the
prevalence was positively correlated to the abundance. A core
microbiome composed of five genera was identified and they
together comprised 83.3% of the community. Taxa in the class
Clostridia increased with aging and family Leptotrichiaceae was
more prevalent in Blacks relative to Whites. Phyla
Bacteroidetes and Tenericutes were more abundant among
6. participants with less education. Smokers were depleted for the
phylum Proteobacteria and enriched for the phylum
Actinobacteria relative to non-smokers; however, these two
phyla were recovered after cessation of smoking. Alcohol
drinkers, especially among Blacks with liquor consumption,
were enriched for class Clostridia (phylum Firmicutes). Tooth
loss was associated with decreased abundance of the phylum
Proteobacteria. Phylum Actinobacteria was less common among
diabetes patients than normal weight controls. Among obese
patients, increased abundance was observed for family
Carnobacteriaceae, and decreased abundance was observed for
family Lachnospiraceae, phylum Cyanobacteria and genus
Catonella.
Conclusion: In the present study, a core oral microbiome was
observed in a cohort comprised largely of Blacks and low-
income adults. Multiple taxa showed strong associations with
demographic and lifestyle factors and diabetes and obesity
etiology. A more comprehensive investigation with a large
sample size is warranted.

Causes and consequences of genetic conflicts
Conflict is pervasive in biology, and even occurs at the genetic
level. For example, host-virus interactions often play out as
conflict between host immune genes and viral genes that
antagonize them. Such genetic conflicts often escalate into
evolutionary ‘arms races’. We study the causes and functional
consequences of genetic conflicts to gain insights into evolution
as well as disease mechanisms.
Host-virus conflict
The ability of host cells to sense viruses is critical to
successfully fight off viral infections. Host protein MAVS plays
a central role in sensing infection by RNA viruses.
Interestingly, many viruses have evolved ways to antagonize
MAVS as a way to evade detection by the host. Our
phylogenetic analyses show that MAVS has recurrently and
rapidly evolved in primates, indicating that it has been engaged
in an arms race with viral antagonists throughout primate
history.
Hepatitis C virus, which infects almost 200 million people
worldwide and causes liver disease, is one such virus that
antagonizes MAVS protein. Interestingly, based on functional
8. experimentation, we found that MAVS from multiple primate
species have independently acquired adaptive amino acid
changes that protect it from HCV antagonism. Remarkably,
most of these changes occur at the same single residue. Thus,
multiple primate species have independently converged on the
same strategy to escape from HCV antagonism.
Conflict between mtDNA and nuclear genome
While it is easy to recognize the conflict of interest between
host and viruses, conflict can also occur between genomes
within the same cell. Mitochondria possess their own genome
(mtDNA), which is exclusively transmitted through females.
This uniparental inheritance renders natural selection
ineffective at removing mtDNA mutations that are deleterious to
males but neutral or beneficial in females. While the male-
harming effects of mutations in mtDNA are of little
consequence for its own evolutionary success, they are clearly
detrimental for the long-term evolutionary survival of the
nuclear genome, which requires males to be healthy. Thus, the
nuclear genome is predicted to encode suppressors that restore
decreases in male fitness caused by mutations in mtDNA. Thus,
analogous to host-virus interaction, a back and forth arms race
is predicted to ensue between mtDNA and the nuclear genome.
We utilized a novel experimental evolution strategy in
Drosophila melanogaster to study male-harming mtDNA
mutations and their suppression by the nuclear genome. We
recovered a single mutation in mtDNA that specifically causes
an age-dependent decrease in male fertility. Cell biological
analyses of sperm development indicate defects in sperm cell
maturation. Interestingly, the nuclear genomes from a number of
wild isolates are able to suppress the male fertility defect
caused by the this mutation. Taken together, our study reveal
the cellular and molecular dynamics and disease consequences
of the evolutionary arms race between mtDNA and the nuclear
genome.

Optimization of DNase Hypersensitivity Site Detection
Protocols for Genome-wide Mapping of Regulatory DNA
Regions
ABSTRACT
Chromatin accessibility is closely associated with fundamental
biological processes such as gene expression, replication, and
10. genome organization. Chromatin regions that are actively
involved in regulation of transcription assume an open
confirmation, thus become hypersensitive to DNase I digestion.
Using the recently developed massive parallel sequencing
approach, it is possible to map DNase I hypersensitive sites
(DHS) genome wide, allowing genome-wide assessment of
regulatory regions. To study DHS in different tissues, cells or
organisms, it is necessary to optimize the protocols for nucleus
isolation, DNase digestion and DNA sequencing.
We are developing and optimizing protocols to be applied in the
analysis of regulatory DNA elements in the chicken. Nuclei are
isolated from liver and spleen tissue, digested with DNase I at
various concentration and time. After digestion, DNA is
isolated and examined by gel electrophoresis. DNase
Hypersensitivity sites are validated by quantitative PCR assay.
Optimized protocols will be applied in genome wide mapping of
regulatory features in chickens.

Background: The utility of microbial secondary metabolites for
the treatment of human cancers has emerged as alternative
sources of new drugs for the treatment of this disease. To this
end we have investigated the antitumor properties of violacein,
a purple pigment produced by Chromobacterium violaceum in
lung, breast cancer and glioblastoma, the most common and
aggressive type of malignant primary brain tumor. Violacein
was purified from a C. violaceum strain (14N23) isolated from
environmental samples collected in the Tennessee Copper
Basin. Method: Purification and analysis of violacein, Dose
response experiments, Time course analysis, Cell migration
assay and Western blot were performed. Results: Clinically
applicable concentrations of violacein were demonstrated to
inhibit the proliferative capacity of solid tumor cell lines, as a
consequence of promoting apoptotic cell death as indicated by
PARP cleavage and p44/42 MAPK signaling. Collectively, this
provides mechanistic evidence that violacein elicits
Extracellular-signal Regulated Kinase (ERK) induced apoptosis
via the intrinsic pathway. The antimalignant properties of
violacein in this study were further demonstrated by its
inhibitory effects on brain tumor cell migration, specifically
glioblastomas one of the most invasive and therapeutically
resistant neoplasms to treat clinically. Additionally, solid
tumors studied here displayed differential cellular responses and
sensitivities to violacein as observed with morphologically
induced cellular changes that contributed to its antimigratory
properties. Conclusion: In conclusion violacein is a novel
natural product with the potential to kill tumor cells in several
types of human cancers, as well as prevent disease recurrence
12. by antagonizing cellular process that contribute to metastatic
invasion.
