PA253 Legal Ethics | Unit 3 Assignment | | Monet Braud June 30, 2015 | In 2008, a man named Alton Logan was released from prison after serving 26 years in prison for the 1982 slaying of a security guard at a Chicago McDonald’s.

[pic] How Did Crime Stoppers Start?

Aimee K. Giolas CJ 348 Final Paper Assignment It has been said that the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist. Could the Smiley Face Killers be a part of that type of trick? (Symons, 2009) Background - Over the last few decades, beginning in the late 1990s, there have been over 40 or more college-age male killings whose dead bodies were found in water in 11 U.S. States. There are clear commonalities in the victim profile of these young men, most were leaving parties or bars, were popular, white, good looking, athletic and good students. One theory of these murders is that they are connected to an individual or organized group of killers, now known as the Smiley Face murders because of graffiti depicting a smiley face near locations in which detectives believe the body was dumped.
He sells drugs, shoots people, and bribes cops. The movie portrays a crime syndicate like a successful businessman showing Frank getting married with Miss Puerto Rico, wearing fancy suits, or living in an enormous mansion. A scene which shows the detachment between his personal life and business is shown when he shoots his rival in the head on the street.

Although the movie is a fictional account, Judgment at Nuremburg is based on a real case called the judges trial, held before the U.S. Military Tribunal. The writer Abby did his research before writing this movie. In an interview from the Archive of American Television, Abbey revels that he talked to the lawyers and judges from the actual case, although he did admit that he added some parts for a dramatic effect, like the scene when Dr, Ernest Janning, confesses to his crimes. He also based many of the witnesses on true stories, the case of the young Aryan lady and the old Jewish man was based on a case the Katzenberg trial. The movies itself is reliable to see how the tribunal was held, and what the trial was like, but it is not as reliable for cold hard facts.

Who Are Criminal Profilers? Rebecca Wiltshire Colby-Sawyer College Criminal profilers mix both the world of psychology with criminal justice. The field itself is fairly new and often time’s profilers don't always agree on methodology or even terminology. The term "profiling" is popular among the public because of media interoperations such as “The Silence of the Lambs” and “Criminal Minds”. However the FBI calls its form of profiling “criminal investigative analysis”; another profiler, a prominent forensic psychologist, calls his work “investigative psychology”; and another calls his “crime action profiling” only further proving the lack of agreement in terminology (8).
