Documents Deborah Marie Wood CJ386-01 – Forensic Biology and Impression Evidence Professor: James Jabbour, MSFS April 26, 2011 Forgery is not only a criminal activity but involves much civil litigation as well. A document examiner can take a questionable document and samples of handwriting to determine if the document has been forged or not. A document examiner can also use several other methods to determine to validity and authenticity of the document in question. A document examiner can also tell if portions of the questionable document had been altered or changed in any way. With proper collection and techniques a document examiner will be able to determine the questionability of any document without a doubt.
However, Governor Jan Brewer took on the illegal immigration issue to a whole new level by signing the “nation’s toughest bill on illegal immigration into law”, as it was put by the NAACP (“Put an end to Racial Profiling”). This bill is known as the Senate Bill 1070 which aims to identify, prosecute and deport illegal immigrants. The Senate Bill 1070 would require that all who are immigrants must carry their papers at all times or they would be subject to a misdemeanor, while also giving cops the power to detain those they believe are immigrants. This however,
The reason for this is that in order to obtain a concealed weapon license, citizens must first take a class on gun safety, and learn the legalities concerning the use of lethal force. I highly agree with this particular law, only because its a smart idea to be educated on how to properly obtain a concealed weapon, rather than having no knowledge on how to even use the weapon and possibly putting someone's life in jeopardy. By teaching people proper gun safety fewer accidents will occur. Lott and Mustard stated: “allowing citizens to carry concealed weapons deters violent crimes, and it appears to produce no increase in accident deaths” (82). Gun control supporters can count some victories during the past year, including the gun-safety regulations in Massachusetts and the defeat of concealed weapons bill in several states.
5.) In 2007 the New York City police department wanted to take DNA samples of all convicted criminals to be able to identify them later if they committed another crime. Explain why you agree or disagree with this policy. I was taught that the police were already doing this since I was a younger child. This makes me wonder why people taught me this without there being any solid background.
All the law is saying that law enforcements can ask for national ID and see if that person is here illegally by checking out the immigration status of the person. By having this law repelled it will just opens a door to human smuggling and once they’re in America, most likely no one will know that they are illegal, unless they get arrested. Sheriff Joe Arpaio of the Maricopa County in Arizona says his office in the last three years has investigated, arrested, detained in our jails over 38,000 illegal aliens with very few lawsuits. He says one night, when there was a lot of commotion, going on outside of house and office, sent out 200 deputy sheriffs and volunteer posse and within 12 hours arrested 93 people, around 65 were illegal aliens involved in human smuggling. By having this law we can easily catch illegal aliens who came into America without being processed.
Biological Criminal Behavior Taylor Strong CJS/231 August 31, 2015 Jacqueline Waltman Biological Criminal Behavior Whenever it comes to criminals committing crimes that people would not even bother to do, there is always something behind that reason. The reason would be the mindset that someone has emplaced inside their head that is not like the ordinary person. People believe that violent behavior that results in horrible crimes is a cause from something biological. Once the research was possible, scientists began the study of the minds of violent criminals and comparing them to the minds of ordinary people. According to "Criminologist Believes Violent Behavior Is Biological" (2013),”Adrian Raine was the first person to conduct a
Sometimes, crime happens suddenly because criminals don’t think before they act and this kind of crimes are usually called “unplanned crimes”. What we need to know here is planned or unplanned, both kinds of crimes are choices and these choices are made by the effects of the causes of crime. People have been trying to explain the causes of crime since the first known crime. Crime is usually considered as a bad behavior in the big majority of the societies. When we look through history, we can see the ancient Babylon Laws of Hammurabi as the first written source created to control the bad behaviors.
“The BCOE is the FBI's program for exploring and advancing the use of new and enhanced biometric technologies and capabilities for integration into operations” (FBI, 2012).Fingerprints is used to identify criminals in most, if not all police agencies. This is the most cost effective and efficient way to identify a subject. Each individual person has a unique set of finger prints that will stay the same for their entire life. Even a set of identical twins will have different fingerprints thus making fingerprints the best way to identify a criminal. Fingerprint information is maintained by the FBI in a system called IAFIS.
He believed that the features of a criminals face could determine what kind of criminal they were; he believed that criminals were born deviant and lacked the free will and were not responsible for their own actions. He collected skulls, brains and photographs of the criminally insane which were later displayed in a museum. “Lombroso was the first to describe the observations of cortical dysplasia in patients with epilepsy. In attempting to predict criminality by the shapes of the skulls and other physical features of criminals, he had in effect created a new pseudoscience of forensic phrenology. For example, he and his collaborators were the first ever to describe and explain the form of epilepsy known now as Taylor’s dysplasia.
Most importantly the searches will help prevent a similar situation to the one on October 3rd and could potentially save lives. Implementation of these searches, though very controversial, would have great benefits for all of SFHS. They would limit the amount of drugs school property, increase students grades, and most importantly insure student safety. The searches would not be a distraction to students who have nothing to hide and for those student’s who feel like they do have something to hide would be more likely to leave that “something” at
