The facts tell us that Deft searched for several months but was unable to find the killer, Deft went to the 38th street pier in search of the killer, and that Deft pulled out a handgun and shot Kyle in the chest. He intended to kill because he took the gun; the search for several months and the act of going to the pier to find the killer were deliberate and planned acts. Deft’s actions are the actual and proximate cause of Kyle’s death. Deft’s act of shooting Kyle in the chest is the actual cause. Furthermore, Deft’s acts meet the “but for” rule: but for Deft’s actions, Kyle would still be alive.

Handling evidence properly is one of the most crucial points of any investigation. Without even intentionally doing so, mishandling of evidence could mean a case thrown out of court. Some types of mishandling of evidence would be planting of evidence, removing evidence, not following the chain of custody and unlawfully obtaining evidence. Rape cases should involve specially trained individuals, if an untrained investigator was to handle a rape case the way a homicide case was handled even more issues can arise. Reducing Ethical Considerations From arrival at a crime scene the investigator must follow only the facts and remove any emotion from considerations.
Analysing cinematography in Bloody Sunday Bloody Sunday is a film by Paul Greengrass. It was released in 2002 and has since raised many views on what really happened when the 1st Para’s of the British Army shot at 27 citizens of Derry, Northern Ireland, and killed 13 of them. One man died later on in hospital from gunshot wounds. Paul Greengrass wrote and directed this film to look like a documentary and it is an incredibly controversial portrayal of what happened. In the opening of the first sequence, the idea of status is clear.
States are breaking this constitutional right by using experimental drugs that have led to botched executions. May states keep the source and the contents of their death penalty drugs a secret and this practice needs to be questioned (2). The case of Clayton Lockett is an example in which the death penalty has turned to be cruel and unusual punishment (2). Clayton Lockett was administered his drug and he failed to die after 10 minutes (2). Clayton died of a heart attack that followed 30 minutes afterward that was triggered by the experimental secret death penalty drug (2).
Chapter 1B The Purposes of Criminal Law It is easy to think of criminal law as an instrument of oppression or at least of repression, a matter of the might of the state pitted against the meagre resources of the offender. Not always, but often. These appearances reflect a fair proportion of the reality. But there is a lot more to the reality than that. Undoubtedly the main consequence of a criminal trial is the fact that if the offender is found guilty, something unpleasant or at least unwelcome is likely to happen to him or her.
Guns are Never the Culprit The Newton Elementary School massacre was the second deadliest shooting in U.S. history and one of the deadliest around the world. Adam Lanza, armed with a power rifle, killed a total of 27 people including himself; seven adults, one being his own mother, and 20 children in an act that is still not explained to this day (Press, 2012). There have been many attempts to try and explain the actions of this disturbed individual and what would drive someone to commit such a hideous act; the main reason people are citing that this happened is lack of gun control. Other murder or suicides that have taken place over the years involving guns have struck up debate over whether or not citizens should be able to own guns;
As stated by director Patty Jenkins in the Monster Featurette, "When you see women like Aileen Wuornos on TV and 95% of the world sees them a certain way, I was sure that the fact that she broke my heart was personal and that no one else would ever see it" (Monster). The 2003 Academy Award winner Monster, based on the true-life story of serial killer Aileen Wuornos, explores the brutal reality of highway prostitutes and the chilling consequences that can result from such a destitute situation. The director, Patty Jenkins, stated that her goal with this movie was to portray the "crossing from one side, from good to evil … [and a] last attempt to get love" (Monster). This movie explores many facets of sociology, both in the analysis of Aileen's world, as well as in reflection on how society views and addresses its discarded members such as Aileen. In watching this film, the viewer is forced to practice cultural relativism and assess what part socialization has played in the development of his or her own values and beliefs.

It is all about women to murder their husbands and try to get away with it. The show gives the motives of why these women kill their husbands, it’s either because they have another lover, they want his life insurance, or custody of their children. Although it’s an interesting show, what does it teach or show the individuals that are watching it? That people in the world can commit such a horrific crime, just for money or an unsatisfying relationship? For me, I find it terrifying that someone could murder another human being so gruesomely, such as poisoning them, shooting, or hitting them repeatingly over the head with a baseball bat.
