QUESTION # 1 ( ONE PARAGRAPH)
Looking at the five basic u
an-policing problems that lead to deviance, which are the most important? Which can be influenced by a first-line supervisor?
QUESTION # 2
Topic 2: What Would You Do? ( ONE PARAGRAPH)
Officer Nick Brown has been a police officer with the Spring Town Police Department for 2 years. Officer Brown is well liked by the other officers, and Police Chief Thompson has commented that Officer Brown would be a good candidate for the next Criminal Investigators position.
You are Officer Brown’s sergeant. Within the past 6 months, you have started getting an unusual amount of citizen complaints concerning Officer Brown. Recently, a citizen complained that $500 was missing from her husband’s pants pocket after Officer Brown had investigated a deceased person. This man had died after suffering from what appeared to be a heart attack. Officer Brown entered the house and had the wife wait in another room while he checked the body. All this occu
ed before the ambulance or anyone else had a
ived. The deceased’s wife said that she was fairly certain her husband had $500 in his pocket when he suffered the heart attack, but it was now missing. Officer Brown and the ambulance workers claim that they never went through the man’s pockets. This is just another example of the recent types of complaints you have received on Officer Brown.
As Officer Brown’s sergeant, how would you deal with this situation? If there was no legal evidence to indicate that Officer Brown was taking goods and money, would you, as supervisor, say anything to him about your suspicions? If so, how would you go about it? Is there any other action you could take to either obtain evidence against Officer Brown for termination purposes or stop this sort of behavior from happening again?
QUESTION # 3
CJ345-5: Evaluate the role supervisors play in the maintenance of good order within criminal justice agencies.
Scenarios: Bad Behavior and the Difficult Employee
Read each of the scenarios below and write a 2-page response (for each scenario) that evaluates the role the supervisor played in the maintenance of good order within the organization.
Scenario 1: Bad Behavior? ( 2 PAGES)
Sergeant Stevens, the sergeant on the evening shift, reported to you (the shift lieutenant) that after roll call he heard two male officers telling sexually explicit jokes in the hallway. As the sergeant exited the roll call room, he noticed one of the female dispatchers standing within a few feet of the two officers. The sergeant chose to ignore the immediate situation and just made a report to you.
Scenario 2: The Difficult Employee ( 2 PAGES)
Officer Smith has become very difficult to deal with. During roll call, he is sarcastic about any new policy changes, orders, or directives given to him or the group. He is also one of the most productive officers you have, and other officers respect his leadership abilities. Recently, his sergeant
ought disciplinary charges against Officer Smith. This resulted in a suspension and Officer Smith has now become far less productive.
Address the following issues in your paper:
· Evaluate the sergeants’ responses to the scenarios.
· How did the sergeants respond in both scenarios?
· How do the sergeants’ actions ensure the maintenance of good order? If they do not maintain good order, what specifically about the sergeants’ actions disrupt that order?
· In each scenario, how could the sergeants have done better?
· What should the sergeants do in each case to ensure good order?
· Write a 2-page response for each scenario.
QUESTION # 4
The earth is made-up of all sorts of elements. Atoms of these elements combine to form molecules, and in turn molecules combine or change as chemical and biological processes occur. In this week’s textbook readings you will learn about how the nucleus of the atom contains protons and neutrons, tightly packed together and storing great amounts of energy. While the vast majority of atomic nuclei are extremely stable, some specific types of atoms can spontaneously lose these atomic particles, with high levels of energy. This release of energetic particles is called radioactive decay, and the particles represent a form of radiation. The discovery of radioactive elements has led to a variety of new technologies designed to harness the energy released when atomic particles separate from the atom, or that can track radioactivity in biological organisms.
One of the pioneers in the discovery of radioactive elements was Marie Sklodowska Curie. Curie worked along with her husband, Pie
e Curie, to isolate uranium and eventually she discovered that uranium decayed (lost atomic particles) to become radium and polonium, two elements that were completely unknown before she isolated and described them. For her work on radioactivity and the discovery of radium and polonium, Curie won two Nobel Prizes, one in chemistry and another in physics. Not only was she the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, but she was the first person and only woman to win two Nobel Prizes, and the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two scientific fields. Unfortunately, her work also eventually led to her death from radiation exposure.
Once radioactive decay was discovered, other researchers began to work on ways to use this knowledge for real-life applications. Harnessing the energy that is released from the decay reactions became one of these applications. As a result, nuclear energy production and nuclear weapons were developed. Other uses of nuclear technology include medical imaging, medical treatments, agricultural, scientific, and industrial applications. The continued use of nuclear technologies has great promise for producing energy around the world, but is also controversial because of the potential harm from radioactive substances to humans and the environment.
You can learn more about nuclear technologies from the resources below. Also feel free to conduct your own research:

Conduct research on nuclear technologies and then answer the following questions:
1. What is radioactive decay? What are examples of elements that are radioactive?
2. Research one example of a nuclear technology.
a. What nuclear technology did you choose?
. What does this technology do and how does it use radioactive elements?
c. What are the benefits of this technology?
d. What are the negative effects of the technology?
3. When Marie Curie discovered radium and polonium, she opened the door for new research that has led to nuclear technologies, but that can also be harmful to humans.
a. Do scientists have a responsibility for shielding the public from potentially dangerous discoveries? Why or why not?
4. What are your opinions about nuclear energy? Do the benefits outweigh the risks? Include the information that has led you to that opinion.
5. Do you think that nuclear applications for medicine should be pursued? Why or why not? Do the benefits outweigh the risks?
QUESTION # 5 TEMPLATE ATTACHED SEPRATELY PLEASE VIEW 2ND ATTACHMENT
The Importance of Forensic Evidence
One of the most powerful parts of a case against a criminal can be the forensic evidence that is collected and presented. Dramatic
eakthroughs in both the scientific and technological fields have greatly impacted the criminal justice system.
Imagine that a recent crime wave has swept your city. You came home last night to find that your home had been burglarized. Understandably, the police and crime lab are overworked and in need of help. Physical evidence (meaning any materials at the scene of the crime that could be valuable to a criminal case) was collected by crime scene technicians at your residence and from a possible getaway car. Review the evidence that was collected from the crime scene. You will need to complete the Assignment template provided after considering the following information:
· Choose three pieces of evidence that were collected from the crime scene to examine in detail.
· Define the physical properties of the evidence collected. Also include any biological, chemical, or other characteristics of the data that would be important to the investigation.
· Explain what specific tests would be performed on the evidence and what information can be extrapolated from this evidence
· Hypothesize how the evidence could be used in the investigation and at a trial.
Note that although this is largely a hypothetical investigation, the description of a material and how it is tested will be factual and you will need to conduct research using the PG Li
ary to identify reliable sources. The final results and importance of the evidence in an investigation will be up to your interpretation and will be largely hypothetical.
