Prepare a paper detailing the significance of ethics in criminal justice and criminal procedure. Please be sure to include all of the following elements in your paper: Summarize your working definition of ethics. Define ethics within criminal justice. • Due Process. What is due process? Create a definition in your own words, and provide the constitutional reasons due process is required along with your own assessment of its significance in the criminal justice process today. Make sure that your primary response explains the notion of ethics and fairness as these terms relate to criminal due process.

  5. CRJ 306 Educational Tutor/ indigohelp CRJ 306 Week 3 DQ 1 Fifth Amendment CRJ 306 Week 3 DQ 2 Reasonable Suspicion and Probable Cause Reasonable Suspicion and Probable Cause. Two commonly confused concepts in criminal law are reasonable suspicion and probable cause. Define and evaluate both of these significant legal terms, and utilize pertinent U.S. Supreme Court opinions to justify your answers. Finally, address what happens to a criminal case when an officer does not possess reasonable suspicion or probable cause. • Fifth Amendment. Everyone has heard or seen the “Miranda Rights” on television and/or in movies. In fact, most people could probably recite what they are without reading the actual U.S. Supreme Court case or reviewing a criminal law textbook. However, there are a number of factors at play that determine when the Miranda rights must be given to a suspect. Does an officer have to Mirandize you if he walks up on the street and says, “How are you today?” When do constitutional provisions “kick in”?

  6. CRJ 306 Educational Tutor/ indigohelp CRJ 306 Week 3 Parties and Pretrial Procedures CRJ 306 Week 4 DQ 1 Homicide Homicide. Define the crimes of voluntary manslaughter, involuntary manslaughter, and negligent homicide. Provide examples for each type of homicide. Evaluate whether the felony murder rule would apply to any (or all) of the three crimes? • Parties and Pretrial Procedures. Much of the “work” of the criminal justice system will never be seen by the general public. Prosecutors, defense attorneys, and grand juries determine the course of criminal cases well before a case is even committed to a public docket. In your paper, detail the special responsibilities prosecutors have towards initiating a criminal case against a defendant. In other words, how does a prosecutor make the decision to charge someone? Address the following questions in your paper

  7. CRJ 306 Educational Tutor/ indigohelp CRJ 306 Week 4 DQ 2 Robbery and Extortion CRJ 306 Week 4 Sexual Predator Prosecution Sexual Predator Prosecution. Prepare a paper that details your home state's approach to sexual predators. Address following items in your paper: Does your state have any laws that prohibit conduct that would be considered to be predatory? What types of crimes are codified into law, misdemeanor, or felony? What are the punishments? • Robbery and Extortion. Which crime, robbery or extortion, is more harmful to the victim of the crime? Discuss the similarities and the differences between these two crimes. Your primary response should examine the potential culpability of the victim for either crime. Does the fact that the victim may have done something wrong affect your viewpoint of the heinousness of either crime?

  8. CRJ 306 Educational Tutor/ indigohelp CRJ 306 Week 5 DQ 1 Double Jeopardy CRJ 306 Week 5 DQ 2 Mandatory Sentencing Mandatory Sentencing. The trend in the United States is toward mandatory sentencing for most criminal offenses. Include the following in your initial post: Define mandatory sentencing.

How can a person be charged with multiple crimes through the legal concept of “lesser included offenses”? How do lesser included offenses not violate double jeopardy protection? Focus upon the material elements of crimes and how they can vary to allow for multiple prosecutions for the same acts or similar offenses. Provide examples to support your answer.
