Your assignment for this unit is to complete a case study that follows an accuse

Your assignment for this unit is to complete a case study that follows an accused person through the criminal justice system. Choose a criminal case from the last 10 years that you found interesting to complete your case study. Be sure to choose a case with enough information available to research for your assignment. Address the criteria listed below in analyzing your case study scenario:

Provide a synopsis of the case.
Describe the arrest procedures police followed in this case. Explain the evolution of the law enforcement system by describing how this type of case would have been handled 30 years ago.
Describe the trial portion of the case. Discuss specific sentencing guidelines available for the judge in this type of case.
Describe the facility where the person was sentenced to serve his or her time in prison. Discuss any education or rehabilitation opportunities available at the facility.

Your completed case study should be at least two pages in length and include at least two outside sources, one of which may be your textbook. At least one source must come from the CSU Online Library.

Using examples of your own choosing discuss the differences between independent variables and dependent variables. Be sure to address which (if either) is the more important for a researcher to focus on when conducting research in criminal justice and criminology. Also, what is the difference (or relationship) between a variable and an attribute?
Respond to the following classmates below:
Kyle:
Independent variables are “fixed” so to say. They are independent of anything else in the study, like other variables. Thus, independent variables are “predictor” variables, as they are part of the process to finding results. Dependent variables are just that, dependent, on the other variables. Their measurements are determined by the independent variables, hence why they are also known as the “response” or “outcome” variables. The categorization of these variables is only valid for one study at a time. For example, a researcher could could have a study where the independent variable is geographic location and it’s impact on poverty, the dependent variable; then a different researcher could have poverty as the independent variable to see the impact it has on crime rates, the dependent variable.
I feel that independent variables are slightly more important as they are the foundation of the the researcher’s work. If they are inaccurate then your dependent variables are wrong as well creating flawed work that may not be accepted by the academic community or rejected from even being published.
Variables and attributes are closely related. Variables are quantitative data sets recorded as measurements of some kind. Attributes are characteristics that are qualitative in nature. With variables we see commonly see measurements in everyday life such as length, width, height, or percentages. Meanwhile, attributes often are presented as charts or checklists and answer yes/no questions to see if an object meets requirements.

Brittany:
Using examples of your own choosing discuss the differences between independent variables and dependent variables.
The independent variable is the factor that is intentionally altered or classified in order to examine its impact on the dependent variable.
Example: The independent variable in a study investigating the impact of police patrols on crime rates is the number of police patrols.
The dependent variable is the result or the variable that is assessed to determine if it is influenced by variations in the independent variable.
In the previous research, the crime rate is considered the dependent variable as it is anticipated to vary in response to the frequency of police patrols.
Independent variables are crucial as they aid in the identification of potential causes or factors that have an impact on outcomes. For instance, comprehending the impact of socioeconomic status (independent variable) on crime rates (dependent variable) can aid in the creation of focused solutions.
Dependent variables hold similar significance as they serve as representations of the occurrences that researchers aim to comprehend or forecast. To illustrate, when aiming to decrease recidivism rates (dependent variable), researchers must comprehend the elements (independent variables) that impact recidivism.
Correlation Between Variables and Attributes

Variables refer to the broad categories that academics focus on investigating, whereas attributes represent the specific instances or values that these variables can hav

For this assignment, select a well-documented case of miscarriage of justice and conduct a case study analysis. Your paper should be 5-7 pages long and include the following elements: a clear thesis statement, a brief overview of the case, and an analysis applying one relevant criminological or sociological theory (e.g., Critical Race Theory, Social Conflict Theory). Examine at least two systemic issues exposed by the case, such as racial bias, media influence, or prosecutorial misconduct. Utilize a mix of primary sources (e.g., court documents, news articles) and at least three academic sources to support your arguments. Assess the impact of the case on the individuals involved and the criminal justice system. Conclude with at least two evidence-based recommendations for preventing similar miscarriages of justice in the future. Your analysis should demonstrate critical thinking and engage with current issues in criminal justice. Use APA format for citations and include a reference list.

This paper is on the dangers of the privatized prison system. I can provide an outline and 15 references but you are welcome to change or add more if necessary because i basically winged it.
I may also need a draft in the meantime that meets this criteria: Do not submit more than 3 pages of your first draft. This can include your Introduction section, for example. Your writing skills will be reviewed and critiqued. Submit your thesis statement. Your statement should be (a) at the end of the first paragraph (introduction), (b) logical and convincing, and (c) supported by a quotation. Remember that you must support your claims with quotations properly cited. With every citation, you must supply a reference at the end.

For this week’s discussion, explore how simple linear regression is applied in r

For this week’s discussion, explore how simple linear regression is applied in real-world research within your field of study:
Use academic databases (e.g., JSTOR, PubMed, Google Scholar) to find a relevant article to your research interest. Ensure the article is peer-reviewed and published within the last five years. Verify that simple linear regression is used.
Summary:
Hypothesis: The study’s primary research hypothesis (you only need to report 1) and the null hypothesis (You may need to come up with this yourself as it may not be clearly stated in the paper).
Variables: The Independent Variable (IV) and Dependent Variable (DV)s from the stated hypothesis along with how the IV and DVs were operationalized (measured). Be consistent in the wording you use for the hypothesis and variables.
Type of research: Describe the type of research that was conducted. Include the design and approach, and any relevant information for that type of study.
Discussion of Regression Analysis:
Explain why simple linear regression was an appropriate choice for this research.
Describe how the authors presented their regression results (e.g., tables, figures, equations).
r and R² value: Researchers often report r and R-Square when reporting a regression. What are these values and what do they mean?
Regression results: The regression output table tells you whether your regression equation is significant (thus does the regression line significantly predict the DV). Is the reported regression line significant? Use statistics to back up your answer (F-statistics, degrees of freedom, p value).
When running a regression, the Coefficients table gives you the values you need for your regression equation. The ‘Constant’ variable is your intercept or a. The IV is you slope or b coefficient. Each one of those values has a significance value telling you whether each value is significant (note: the values in the coefficient table are for individual parts of the equation). If included in the paper, please report the regression equation for this data (Y = a + bX) and explain what that equation means.
Application:
How could the findings from this study could inform your own research interests or dissertation topic?
Citation and References:
Cite your chosen article properly according to APA guidelines within your post.
Include a pdf link and the full reference for your article at the end of your post.
