Hello everyone, For this assessment, you’ll be focusing on forensic science and profiling. Understanding the intricacies of forensic science can be extremely helpful on the job, especially as it forms the basis for most criminal prosecutions and many civil litigation cases. As a criminal investigator in a police department, imagine that you are investigating a series of crimes that appear to be committed by the same person. You have been asked to consult on the creation of a criminal profile of the unknown suspect. You will need to research and analyze what is needed for the criminal profile and provide this information to the task force investigating the case. Select one of the two options: 1.Select one of the case studies from “Serial murder in America: case studies of seven offenders” from the University Library. 2. Find your own criminal profile to use. Keep in mind that it can be a local criminal profile and it does not have to be a serial murderer. Focus on finding a profile of a criminal that appears to be committing a series of crimes. Write a 1,200- to 1,400-word criminal profile analysis based on your chosen criminal profile or case study. Provide the following in the analysis: Define criminal profiling. Explain the purpose of a behavioral profile in criminal cases. Contrast inductive and deductive analysis. Explain the key factors. Discuss the reliability and validity of a profile. Analyze the forensic science used in this case. Provide an analysis of the criminal behavior or profile of the suspect. Evaluate and summarize the findings in the case. Please cite two literature references (found outside the classroom) in the body of this report using correct APA formatting that reinforces what you are saying, and list these two literature references with correct APA formatting on a literature reference page at the end of this report – eight points will be deducted for each missing literature reference. Submit your assignment using the SafeAssign Originality checker.

One of the numerous podcasts I listen to regularly is Skeptoid. It’s done by a guy named Brian Dunning, who has an interesting and rational way of thinking through popular topics in about 10-15 minutes. I don’t always agree with him, but I seem frequently to look at things in a different way after listening.
If you want five points of extra credit, you can earn some through this assignment. Go to the Skeptoid website and listen to an episode. It has to be a “regular” episode on a single topic. Not one of the “Questions from Listeners” or “Things I Got Wrong” episodes. Then write a minimum 250 word response to the episode. Don’t retell the story. I will already know it. Just tell me what about the episode you thought was good or bad, right or wrong, and why.
You can only do this once. I can’t have folks ending up getting 1,500 points of extra credit by responding to every episode!
While the podcast doesn’t in most cases deal directly with topics related to government, it seems to me that government is, or should be, about critically thinking through issues calmly and rationally, and avoiding jumping to conclusions based on emotion or prejudice. That’s the best way to make decisions that affect us all.

Human services practitioners strive to improve the lives of thousands of individuals every day. The support can be in the creation of programs, improving access to programs, and advocating for changes or support for an individual or groups of individuals. In this assignment, you serve as a human services practitioner at a community reentry center. You will write an advocacy letter to request a change in a program in your state in an effort to improve the diversity and equity of your state’s programs and services. You are writing the letter to a congressperson in your state. Specifically, you should do the following in your 700- to 1,050-word writings: Describe 2 to 3 advocacy strategies that they will apply in your letter. Justify your selection of advocacy strategies. Create an advocacy letter that supports changing some aspect of a program in your state to make it more diverse or equitable. Explain the current concern or issue related to diversity or equity of the program (for example, assess if there were exclusions from programs in the past). Discuss and justify the change you would like to see. Apply the identified 2 to 3 advocacy strategies. Cite at least 2 resources using APA format Below is a video Link of instructions from Professor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jP9ThVwx0yE&t=6s
