Theories and practice in the field of criminal justice are difficult to connect because of the lack of theory used to understand crime that will teach lessons for future criminal acts. Instead, the criminal justice field has focused on a result-driven model that prefers practical answers that provide results, which are arrests and convictions.

Please address the requirements below in a paper of 3–4 pages. Be sure to provide support or evidence that will enhance and empirically prove your response. Academic criminal justice articles or real-life criminal justice findings that are found in journals or other academic sources must be used in supporting your answers. Please use APA format for all cited sources, including your references page.

Scenario

You are asked to attend a meeting between your firm’s new client, Mr. Assin, and the senior criminal practice attorney, Attorney Chatham. Mr. Assin was recently arrested and has retained the firm’s services to represent him. Attorney Chatham asks Mr. Assin to begin by detailing exactly what happened. Mr. Assin gave the following account:

I was sitting in a restaurant, and a woman walked over to me and sat down. She said her name was Sally. She asked if I was available, and she winked at me. I’ve been single for 2 years, so I answered yes, I was available, and I winked back. The waiter came, and she ordered a dry martini with three olives. I said I would have the same. Before the drinks came, she said she needed to visit the powder room, and when she got up to leave, she slid an envelope under my water glass. The next thing I knew, I was being arrested, and now I’m here. I’m telling you, I didn’t do anything wrong!

The police were following Sally, whom they previously identified as seeking to hire someone to murder her husband. She met an undercover police officer in an Internet chat room and offered him $5,000 to kill her husband. They arranged to meet at the restaurant for the exchange of money. Sally was supposed to meet the undercover police officer, whom she never saw before, at the restaurant and ask if he was available and wink. The undercover officer was supposed to say that yes, he was available and wink back at her. She would then order a dry martini with three olives, and the undercover officer would order the same thing. Sally did not know that she picked the wrong man at the restaurant, and instead of giving the money to the undercover officer, she gave the money to Mr. Assin.

You own a private investigation firm that specializes in conducting retained or court-appointed criminal investigations for criminal defense attorneys like the one who represents Mr. Assin. This is the first time that you have worked for this attorney, so you want to show him that you know the law and the criminal justice field. You assure Mr. Assin and the attorney that your information will be accurately assessed with the explanation of the events which occurred as outlined above. Your job is to conduct an independent criminal assessment of what happened to Mr. Assin, based upon the facts outlined above, and provide the attorney with your analysis of the case against Mr. Assin.

The attorney asks you to make sure that you address the following areas of concern and what other information that you feel pertains to the case in a document of 2–3 pages:
•Explain the elements of murder, including what is required to convict someone of attempt to commit murder.
•Explain whether Mr. Assin is guilty of attempted murder of Sally’s husband.
•Explain why he has or has not committed the crime. You will want to discuss whether the defendant took any steps toward the completion of the act and the implications if he did or did not take those steps.
•Robbery is classified as both a property crime and a crime of violence. How would Mr. Assin’s crime be classified? Mr. Assin was asked to kill someone for money. If he was guilty of this crime, then would it be classified as a property crime or a violent crime?
•Define violent crime and property crime. Provide 1 example for each.
•Based upon your opinion, reading assignments, and research, which type of crime is more serious? Are property crimes more serious than violent crimes? Explain and support your position.

As Diana Hacker notes, “All good writing about literature attempts to answer a question, spoken or unspoken, about the text” (646): “Why is ‘Araby’ a story of initiation?” “In what ways does Raymond Carver’s ‘What we talk about when we talk about love’ explore different concepts of love?” A concise and insightful literature paper should answer such questions with a “meaningful interpretation, presented forcefully and persuasively” (646).

Before you start composing your paper, please reread the story you want to write about and ponder our online discussions; maybe brainstorm before you create your outline.

The final draft of your paper should be a 3- to 4-page essay (12 point font, 1” margins, double-spaced) that analyzes in depth “Everyday Use.”

Your thesis should be analytical and concentrate in a nutshell what you wish to emphasize – your central idea, the point you want to make about your topic. Your thesis should be as specific as possible and foreshadow the body paragraphs.
The body should elaborate your thesis, providing evidence in form of textual support. The body paragraphs should be appropriately organized, including use of clear topic sentences. The paragraphs should be in logical order and use transitions to show links between ideas.
Analysis and interpretation that is supported with specific textual evidence from the short story (minimum four quotes or references to the short story). Please document your source by using the MLA format (compare “Writing About Literature” handout; chapter on MLA in our textbook).
A conclusion that provides closure to the essay and considers the implication of your argument.

-Topic based on the required textbook“Self-consciousness is the curse of the city and all that
sophistication implies,” Dillard claims in Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. Yet as a book bracketed by her remembrance of her bloody old Tom Cat, it arguably never escapes being rooted in self-consciousness. How, then, are we meant to take
Dillard’s rejection of self-consciousness as part of her environmental and theological program in the work as a whole?

Imagine that you are an IMF (International Monetary Fund) economist. You have been given the task of analysing and comparing the economic performance of two countries (United Kingdom and the United States) over the time period 2007-2014 and offering policy advice to both governments. Your analysis should allow you to explain any differences and similarities in economic performance in the two countries over the specified time period.

Write a report that you would present to the IMF which details the results of the analysis and the policy advice that you would give to the governments of these countries.

For this assignment, you must compare the performance of The US and The UK.

As with the previous assignment, the key focus is on the analysis. So your research questions should include; why did these economies perform the way that they did, what caused the adjustments in the economic variables over time (policy will be very important here) and why did the two countries experience similaries and differences in their economic performance. Also what are the key economic issues/problems in each country over this time period.
Remember, your report should be focused on presenting the results of your analysis and offering policy advice. So you need to ask all the above questions before you then write up the results of your findings. Your report should be focused on developing key analytical points rather than a descriptive account of economic performance in each country. An example of what a report might say is as follows
Both countries experienced growth in unemployment as a result of the recession. In country A there was a much bigger increase in unemployment and the unemployment rate increased over a longer time period. Give the statistics for both countries (i.e. unemployment increased by x amount in country A over the period x, while it increased by only x amount in County B over x time period) Although both countries experienced falling demand for goods and services and therefore falling demand for labour, this was much worse in country X because…. (this is where your research comes in)
After that, you would focus on the most recent adjustments to unemployment and provide and policy advice going forward.
It is probably wise to focus your writing on the comparison, that way it will be more interesting and more analytical. It is up to you to truly engage with the analysis and write an interesting report. This will require careful consideration of the performance of each economy, substantial research and will take time.
You should examine key economic indicators in each country e.g. GDP growth, GDP per capita growth, unemployment rate, inflation rate, budget balance, exports and imports, other relevant variables. You should address indicators relevant to any specific issues which arise in the economy over the time frame. It is up to you to do a good analysis so that you pick up key economic issues in each economy.
Regarding sources of information, I have already shown you how to find data from the World Bank website. This is pretty straight forward. You can also find data using national statistic websites such as the Office of National Statistics in the UK or you could find data on the IMF website. I think it wise to first find the data you are looking for and then try to find some articles that discuss the economic performance of both countries so that you can try to explain changes in the economic variables in both countries.
Possible sources are
www.economist.com
www.theguardian.com/uk
www.thetimes.co.uk
www.ft.com
www.bbc.com
www.googlescholar.com
www.worldbank.org
www.imf.org
The above is not a complete list of possible sources of information. It’s just a list of some places that you might look.
Some resources that students sometimes use for researching essays but that may not cited in the essay are
www.wikipedia.com
www.economicshelp.com
www.economics.about.com
www.onlinedictionary.com (or any dictionary)
www.investopedia.com
www.yahoo.com
The above is not a complete list of resources that may not be used. In general, newspapers and journal articles are fine but information websites such as dictionary sites are not appropriate for citations but may be helpful to improving your understanding of the issue being addressed. Regarding websites that help students to understand economics, tutor2u is the only one you can reference at GIC. If you are referencing material obtained from tutor2u, please do so via a footnote. The same applies to any material obtained from a website that does not have an author.
