Asking The Right Questions, Complaint And Warrant

Asking the Right Questions

Overview

Including the right information in your criminal justice reports depends on many things. It is very important that you develop a habit of asking the right questions in order to collect the right information, taking detailed notes, and always keeping your information organized. You must ensure that the information you put in your reports is specific and accurate in order to ensure individuals are readily identified, facts regarding possible criminal activity lead to or show the necessary probable cause and that any action by law enforcement during the incident or post-incident investigation does not violate anyone’s civil rights or Constitutional protections.

Instructions

To complete this assignment, write a 2–3 page paper in which you:

  • Select one of the criminal justice reports you reviewed in the Week 2 assignment, Create a Criminal Justice Report Job-Aid.
  • Prepare a summary of the essential questions you will need to ask in order to gather the information that must be included in the report.
  • Describe an organizational or note-taking strategy that would facilitate the creation of this report.
  • Explain how the information in the report you have selected would be used to form the basis for a presentation to the District Attorney’s office, or for any arrest or follow up investigation.
  • Use the Strayer Library to find at least two academic resources. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites are not considered quality references.

 

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  • Identify the most essential pieces of information that should be included in criminal justice reports1

    Explanation of Report’s Purpose
    Incident Report Police officers, lawyers, and judges It is identified as the primary document acquired after a victim reports a felony committed against them. It helps identify a basis for all information law enforcement officers on how the specific occurrences happened, witnesses, and the individual attributes reported to have committed the felony (Bohm & Haley, 2015). Notably, after the victim files the incident report, the law enforcement officers are responsible for keeping the original incident report specifically for documentation within the police department.
    Search Warrant Report Detectives and judges They are issued to permit law enforcement officers to search the house, items, business, vehicle, and any location associated with the crime to gather evidence to prove the accused’s involvement in the crime. They are useful as they mandate the law enforcement officers to present a signed statement issued under oath to persuade the magistrate or judge of their adequate collection of information on a particular crime committed (Goldstein, 2017). Additionally, if the magistrate or judge is convinced that there is a connection with the felony, a signed warrant is granted, permitting law enforcement officers to search the specific locations and items dictated in the search warrant.
    Complaint and Warrant Report

     

    		 Lay judges and civil officers It entails the name of the individual accused and the associated criminal involvement. The complaint and warrant report mandate the law enforcement officers to present a signed affidavit to a neutral judge containing the accused’s information. After the report is reviewed, the evidence presented is highly influential in the judge’s decision to issue an arrest warrant to the officer on the suspect (Orfield, 2015). Hence, the law enforcement officers are permitted to convict the offender and adequately notify them of the crimes they are accused of.
    Presentence Report

     

    		 Prosecutors and lawyers It is issued shortly following an offender’s conviction of a felony they are associated with. It is helpful as it presents an investigation concerning the suspect’s history before sentence to establish their sentence’s nature (Carter, 2018). Here, the probation officer is tasked to investigate the convict’s criminal record to determine whether the accused deserves a light sentence or heavy conviction based on previous attributes. After this report is accomplished, it is presented as a tool for use by the judge during sentence hearings.
    Order of Probation Report

     

    		 Judges, lawyers, and probation officers It is useful in presenting a description of the conditions or rules to be adhered to by the convict upon release from incarceration. It provides details on the reason and period of probation and when or where they should report when mandated to. However, if the convicted does not abide by the regulations, a violation report is filed by the probation officer (Gagliardo, 2018). Besides, the violation reports are presented to the sentencing judge where upon review and ascertaining that the information, a violation of probation warrant is issued. From that, the law enforcement officer is allowed to re-arrest the convict, and sentencing is given based on failure to adhere to abide by the court orders.

Discussion: Informative Speech Outline

/in /by

For this discussion, you will create a speech outline for the career-focused informative speech you conceptualized in Milestone One. A template has been provided for this purpose. You will then share your outline with your peers to obtain feedback, and give feedback to your peers on their outlines. When commenting on your peers’ posts, provide critical yet constructive feedback based on best practices of outline writing as discussed in the course textbook. As peers and your instructor provide feedback on your outline, be sure to review and incorporate that feedback into your project as appropriate.

For your initial post, address the following:

  • Complete your outline using the Speech Outline Template Word Document and attach it to a post for discussion.
  • In your post, identify two specific areas you would like peer feedback on. Examples may include:
    • The use of tone
    • Quality of points and subpoints
    • Relevance of explanations to subpoints
    • Alignment of certain sections (introduction, body, conclusion) to identified audience
    • Effectiveness of introduction
    • Effectiveness of conclusion
    • OtherDestiny Nance

      The Coronavirus Pandemic changed a lot of things, for many different people. It gave me a new normal. One day in March 2020, our boss held a meeting and said that “We will be working remotely from here on out. Grab everything you need because you won’t be here tomorrow.” That was a quick lifestyle change for me. The audience for this topic could range from corporate America, to students and small business owners. For some people, it was very different. A lot of people didn’t even know they could complete their job from home. That brings in the next topic, having important and necessary equipment. A large population of people were thrown into this without having a good briefing prior to going home. This presentation is to properly educate on tips and tricks of working remotely.
