Free societies are at risk for terrorist acts for several reasons: a) loose control of public information; b) weapons, communications equipment, and explosives are easy to obtain; c) the ease of creating and operating functional networks and financial systems in free societies. Consider the following factors when analyzing threats:
Existence: a group/individual’s presence to access a specific locale
Capability: an acquired, assessed, or demonstrated ability to conduct an attack
Motive: intent, objective to conduct an activity
History: previous background of activity
Targeting: preparation of/for specific violent acts against individuals or populations
Select one of the three examples you discussed in the case study. Identify and discuss factors used in target selection. Provide ways in which the United States can mitigate such future attacks on the homeland. Include a background/overview (i.e., lone shooter or cyberattack), current mitigation methodologies, future solutions you think would be successful deterrents or strategies. Defend your views.

1.     What is the research question?
Does the introduction of community policing reduce crime rates in urban areas.
2.     What is the independent variable (IV) in the research question? (Make sure this variable is clearly defined, specific, and can be objectively measured)
Independent variable: Implementation of social security services ( measured by the availability and number of social security programs in rural areas such as the number of local police officers per capita or the number of community events.
3.     What is the dependent variable (DV) in the research question? (Make sure this variable is clearly defined, specific, and can be objectively measured)
Dependent variable : crime rate ( measured as the number of crimes per 1000 city residents)
4.     State the research/alterative hypothesis for the research question. (Should include both variables listed above)
Implementing rural policing programs in rural areas will reduce crime.
5.     State the corresponding null hypothesis for the research/alternative hypothesis.
Implementing community policing programs in rural areas does not reduce crimes rate.

Read the article below on a high profile DV case that occurred here in the midwest. 
Afterward write a short 2-3 page paper in which you compare and contrast David’s “style of violence” with that of Aaron Maldonado’s or Gertrude Banisjewski’s (both previously studied in class). Would you categorize the offenders profiled as “high risk” in terms of “Criterion A” and “Criterion B” red flags for escalating violent, potentially deadly behavior? Why or why not? Be sure to back up your positions with evidence presented from these cases.

The prompt for this essay is as follows: As you have learned throughout this semester, we have three components that make up the criminal justice system: Law Enforcement (Police), Courts (Judges, District Attorney’s, Defense Counsel), and Corrections (Prisons, Jails, Probation/Parole). The theme of our textbook talks about individual rights and public order rights. I want you to discuss the three core components (law enforcement, courts, and corrections) of the criminal justice system and how the criminal justice system works within public order and individual rights.. I want you to explain how individual rights and public order rights work in the criminal justice system. Should these be balanced? Or should one outweigh the other? Should the public order advocates supersede individual rights or is the government overstepping its bounds? You can also include your personal experiences that can help explain your perspective that you align with.

They should be 1 – 2 pages double spaced each (minimum 260 words).
You will be evaluated for demonstrating that you have reflected on the in-class discussions. You can reflect on any one of the in- class discussions from the week or all of them. You can decide what you’d like to highlight or focus on. You can reflect on the points that were raised, their relation to the lecture content, what points may have been missed, what you learned from this process, how does it relate to what you thought before, etc. The reflections are open, so feel free to dicuss the things that speak to you most. You can also draw on personal experience in your relfections.
Each response is worth 5% and will be graded out of 5 marks, with a full mark being deducted for each day it is late.
These reflections will be marked based on evidence of engagement with the in-class discussions, according to the following marking scheme:
5/5: Your reflection clearly demonstrates that you have engaged with the points raised in the in-class discussions, commented on them, critically engaged with them, highlighted what you thought were strong points and (perhaps) what was missing from the discussion, and offered a critical question for further discussion.

Please watch the documentary below on the case that catalyzed the “Me Too” movement in Hollywood. Afterward write a short paper (4-6 double spaced pages) in which you respond to the following prompts using materials/evidence from this module and the documentary: 1)Who is Harvey Weinstein? Why was he so powerful in Hollywood? 2) Summarize the accusations levied against Weinstein by at least 3 women interviewed in the documentary. 3)How would you categorize this type of sexual victimization and why? Did the victims exhibit risk factors commonly associated with sexual assault? Why or why not? 4).

Please post your answers to the following questions:
Can an independent thinker be a team player?
Should we admit to doing wrong?
What is the difference between a mistake of the mind and a mistake of the heart?
Dilemma:
You are the lead investigator in a double homicide case. You develop a suspect, and during your interrogation, you have the opportunity to lie to the suspect concerning the evidence you have against him in this case. The Virginia Court of Appeals upheld lying to a suspect as an ethical practice in Arthur v. Commonwealth 1997. As a Christian, you know it is a sin to lie. Will you lie to the suspect concerning the evidence you have against him in this case in an attempt to illicit a voluntary confession? This interrogation technique is legally accepted; however, is it moral and ethical?
During this class, we have continued to emphasize the importance of strong character driven leadership. Please provide a biblical example of unethical leadership and describe its consequences. Please provide a biblical example of strong ethical leadership and describe its advantages.
