The use of capital punishment has long been a contentious issue in America. While there seems to be little evidence that the death penalty acts as a deterrent, proponents argue that deterrence is not the only function of punishment. Proponents believe that certain crimes simply deserve the harshest punishment, regardless of its potential for deterrence.
Prepare a PowerPoint presentation of 8-10 slides that addresses the following points about capital punishment. Your slides should be clear and concise, with supporting elaboration in the “notes” area.
What does it typically cost to execute someone? Why does it take so long and cost so much?
Based on recent statistical data and findings, how often are innocent people given the death sentence and/or executed? How is it determined that a condemned convict was actually innocent?
Should everyone be a candidate for capital punishment or should some people be exempt based on their position in society? Are there any other factors that should be considered in exempting people from or applying the death penalty?
Analyze recent Supreme Court cases regarding capital punishment (from 2000 to present) and offer a reasoned prediction regarding the future use of capital punishment in the United States.
Make certain that you support your analysis with proper reasoning.

How perceptions of police can differ across different communities or cultures

The dangers inherent in police work are brought to the public’s mind when police are killed in the line of duty. This is especially true when it is apparent that the officers were deliberately ambushed. Clearly, the relationship between police and community differs widely from place to place.
Discuss how perceptions of police can differ across different communities or cultures.
Critics of police have questioned the “militarization” of local police in America. Explain what is meant by this term and analyze whether it is an accurate characterization.
Earlier in the course, we examined “positive” theories, which suggest that criminal behavior is often influenced by factors outside the offender’s control. Can positive theories apply also to police officers who use excessive force or otherwise abuse their power?
Police agencies across the country are increasingly turning to the use of “body cams.” These are devices worn on the uniform of a patrol officer in order to record audio and video during encounters with residents. Proponents believe body cams will deter and detect instances of police misconduct. What are the drawbacks of body cameras? What position do police unions take on this issue?
