What physical evidence was related to the case? The main physical evidence used to solve this case was the biological DNA evidence from the vaginal swabs from the three elderly women who had been raped. (Saferstein, R. 2009) 4. What was the outcome of the case? In April, 2001 convicted-offender database got what was called a “cold-hit” because the perpetrator of the crime had been convicted of shooting at a residence that was occupied, which in North Carolina requires that the persons DNA be placed in the criminal database.
The problem to define sexual deviance is one of the biggest diffusive problems in the literature that tries to classify it (Ward, Laws & Hudson, 2003). Different classification systems exist, but only two models will be reviewed. In the essay the Behavioral Thematic evaluation of Canter and the Massachusetts Treatment Center: Rape classification system revision 3 (MTC:R3) will be compared and contrasted as two models of sexual assault. Both models assume that sexual assault is rape that an adult man inflicts upon an
SHOULD JUVENILES BE CHARGED AS ADULTS IN CRIMINAL CASES TRINA LEVESQUE POST UNIVERSITY Abstract In 1984 in Butte Mt, two boys (boys simply because of their age) Michael Horvath age 15 and Ted Gibson age 14, committed some unspeakable acts. Michael and Ted had brutally taken the lives of their mothers as well as the life of Ted’s 16 year old sister. These two were sentenced to a juvenile detention facility until the age of 21, after which their juvenile records were sealed and they were able to go on with their lives as if it never happened. I feel that justice was not served for the victims. After this heinous act the laws of MT were swiftly changed to charge juveniles as adults if they commit an adult crime.
The purpose of today's talk is to start a debate about how we in society view the offence of rape and whether we bring our conscious or subconscious views and stereotypes to our consideration of it. Rape is a serious crime and one in which there have been a number of reports and recommendations over the years looking at how we improve the way in which these cases go through the Criminal Justice System. It is surprising when looking back that it was only in 1991 that the law was clarified to recognize rape could be committed within a marriage. Before then a husband could rape his wife with impunity. It is also not that long ago that we did not have rape specialists either investigating or prosecuting these cases and victim care was awful.

MOD 6 DQ 1 How does the motivation of a serial killer differ from that of a terrorist? MOD 6 DQ 2 Should different types of rape receive different punishments? For example, should someone who rapes a stranger be punished differently or more severely than someone who is convicted of raping a spouse or convicted of date rape? Why or why not?

Judicial decisions have also effectively created new crime as in Shaw v. DPP (1962) – offence of conspiracy to corrupt public morals, or R v. R (1991) – rape within marriage is a crime. Also, in contract and tort law, nearly all the main rules come from cases decided by judges. Many of them were made in the last century or so but still affect today law e.g. Felthouse v. Bindley (1863) – silence can not be deemed as consent (acceptance of an offer) or the neighbourhood principles produced in Donoughue v. Stevenson (1932). So how can judge create law through the doctrine of precedent?
However it has recently came to question of whether this perception of dangerousness is supported. Is it true that once a sex offender always a sex offender?
