***DUE IN 10 HOURS!

Note: I need answer of the following discussions. Must be done properly with 100% original content.

Discussion 1 (250 words + 2 credible references cited in APA)

Imagine that you are a judge preparing to sentence an offender who was just found guilty at a jury trial on two counts of bank robbery. Address the following questions:

  1. What would you need to know about the defendant to impose a sentence?
  2. What specific information would you need to know about the offense to aid in sentencing?
  3. What are the top 5 factors you would consider in fashioning a sentence?
  4. What would be 2 aggravating and mitigating factors to consider in this case?

Discussion 2 (250 words + 2 credible references cited in APA)

For this Discussion Board, you will write a dialogue between yourself and an imaginary Socrates. You will debate the question of free will versus determinism. Remember that the Socratic Method involves asking a series of questions to clarify key words and ideas. In your dialogue, the imaginary Socrates should be asking clarifying questions, and you will be answering them. Your post should be a dialogue, which may address the following questions, using the Socratic Method:

  1. Do you agree that every event has an explanatory cause?
  2. How do you define human choice? How do you define human event? Are they different?
  3. Do you agree that to have an explanatory cause is to not be free?
  4. How do you define free?
  5. Do you think that free will and determinism can coexist in any way?
  6. Is it possible to have external determinism and internal free will?

To have cohesion and reach solid conclusions, your imaginary Socrates may ask you more questions than the ones listed above. Be sure to include all of the above ideas in your dialogue.

/in /by

read about Sir Robert Peel, credited for being the founder of modern policing. Your assignment is to review Peel’s Nine Principles and reflect on how each of them has affected the way police officers handle their jobs today. Do you believe that police officers today still uphold those principles? Please explain why you feel this way.

In addition, reflect on the changes that have occurred in policing throughout the past 60 years in the United States. Also, include information regarding the roles of English policing, expansion, and development and how they contributed to American policing.

Your reflection paper should consist of at least 3 pages.

Please view the following video that discusses Peel’s legacy; it may help as work on your reflection paper:

1. Explain the three main elements necessary to establish and prove an assault.

2. Describe the “Rule of Thumb” standard that originated in the case of State v. Rhodes (1868) concerning domestic violence.

3. Research has attempted to identify factors that predict or precipitate episodes of domestic violence. List and describe some of these predictors.

4. Some agencies have adopted a dual arrest policy concerning domestic violence meaning that officers can circumvent the primary aggressor assessment and arrest both parties when injuries to both sides are observed. These policies do not preclude the single arrest of only the primary aggressor if the officer is able to make a primary aggressor determination. Name the factors an officer must consider in making this assessment.

5. Johnson (2004) divides elderly financial abuse crimes into two categories. Name and give examples of each category.

Research And Critique Data Analysis

/in /by

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, be sure to have read all the required resources for the week.

Locate a peer-reviewed qualitative research study in the Ashford University Library on the topic you chose in Week One for your Final Research Proposal. You may choose to use a qualitative study that was included in the literature review you used in the Week One assignment by searching the reference list for qualitative research studies on the topic. It is also acceptable to utilize a qualitative research study on your topic that was not included in your literature review.

Once you have located an appropriate qualitative study, identify the specific qualitative research design used. Summarize the main points of the study including information on the research question, sampling strategy, research design, data analysis method(s), findings, and conclusion(s). Evaluate the published qualitative research study focusing on and identifying the researcher’s paradigm or worldview and any evidence of reflexivity described in the report. Explain whether or not potential biases were adequately addressed by the researchers. Describe how the researchers applied ethical principles in the research study.
