Prior to your graduation from AIU, you have been working as the Victims’ Assistant Advocate for the office of the local county prosecutor. You have a great working relationship with the prosecutor, Mary, and the remainder of the office. Normally, when you speak, the staff and the prosecutor know that you are speaking from a knowledge base that you have gained from personal experience, research, and reading, so they know that your comments are facts. You like to use APA format to cite your sources, but this bulleted paper does not need to be in APA format.You have decided to speak with the prosecutor, Mary, on behalf of Maureen, a college student who was a victim of date rape. You want to convince Mary to support a change in the prosecutor’s policy of not prosecuting date rape cases when drugs or alcohol are involved. Maureen has a strict policy: When someone wants to speak with her about changing an established policy, she wants the person to submit a paper of 3–5 pages containing topic bullets that outline his or her argument for the policy change prior to meeting her. This way she feels that she is not blind-sided, and that she has an opportunity to research the topic prior to the meeting.You follow her policy and write a paper using bullets only, hoping that you can persuade Mary and the chief prosecutor to change their policy or, at a minimum, meet with you for a discussion about changing the policy. Maureen knows that other young women are being attacked and that, very often, date rape drugs are being used.Mary has agreed to review your policy change letter if you write it. You write the policy change paper in which you have the following goals:Educate Mary about date rape using statistics and information about date rape and date rape drugs to show her that Maureen is one of the types of victims who perpetrators take advantage of in these situations.Explain why not prosecuting the cases is the wrong public and social policy. (You are also hopeful that the victim, Maureen, also receives help in her case.)To organize your efforts before your meeting, create a detailed outline where appropriate that contains information for the following 5 topics in 3-5 pages:List crime statistics reported by Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) and the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) relating to rape and the strengths and weaknesses of each type of reporting.Define the term date rape (or acquaintance rape; the terms are interchangeable) and how date rape is distinguished from stranger rape, statutory rape, and spousal rape.List the types and uses of date rape drugs.Describe the victim–offender relationship, including the following:How victims are viewed by perpetrators of date rapeThe special problems of date rape prosecutionsHow society and jurors may view date rape (e.g., blaming the victim based on the perceived precipitation, facilitation, or provocation of the victim)What is your position on this issue, and what action do you think would impact this social policy?Use the library, Internet, and other resources available to you to conduct your research. Provide APA citations and references.

D’Angelo and Livorno both want to testify to avoid the death penalty.For your assignment, complete the following in 3–4 pages:Identify which testimony is hearsay and likely to be inadmissible.Identify which testimony is privileged communication and which is not.Identify how the Best Evidence Rule functions in relationship to the witness testimony being proffered.

The reason a crime scene search is conducted is to establish the parameters of the crime being investigated and to identify and seize evidence at the scene that will connect the suspect(s) and victim(s) to the scene. It will establish linkage between evidence items and their associative value to each other. It will help identify what actions occurred at the crime scene during the commission of the offense(s). It will also identify items that are missing from the scene or items that are in the crime scene that should not be there. The crime scene process helps identify the methods used (modus operandi) at the scene by the offender(s).For the purpose of this assignment, you are an investigator on your way to a murder crime scene. Research the following points, and write a 4–6-page paper fully explaining each point:The new Crime Scene Investigator assigned to work for you has never processed a homicide scene before. While en route to the scene, you discuss with your new partner the details you were given by the dispatcher. You discuss methods of crime scene searching with each other. You have been provided 2 crime scene sketches. Click here for interior and here for exterior. Determine (based on the sketches) your suggested plans for searching the crime scene(s) in this scenario. Based on the sketches, signify the areas to be searched and the evidence that might be associated with this crime scene. If you had other personnel available to assist you and your new partner, what directives and assignments would you provide them with to assist in your crime scene search process?

Your Law of Organisations Project should be a maximum of 2,000 words – 1900 is fine.   You can choose any appropriate format for your Project and the different elements of it (opinion, report etc.) – this is a matter for your judgement, reflecting on the materials you have produced and considered throughout the module.   You should use footnotes to identify legal sources and references using OSCOLA referencing; even if you would not normally do so for the types of matter in question (such as producing a memorandum). This enables you to evidence the learning outcomes relating to research. You do not need to include a separate bibliography.    How you will be assessed   The Project is marked out of 100. There is no specific allocation of marks to the separate parts of it. At Level 5, it is a matter for your judgement as to the relative weight you give to each part of your Project, so you will not receive any guidance on how to allocate your wordcount between the different parts of it.   For this Assessment you will be assessed against these Assessment Criteria: Demonstrating knowledge and understanding of relevant legal principles relating to the creation and running of the principal forms of business organisation in England and Wales Analysing factual materials to identify relevant legal issues Demonstrating research skills to locate and select relevant primary and secondary sources Evaluating or applying relevant law to the facts as appropriate, with reasons, to support a conclusion, advice or opinion Presenting an answer, advice or opinion using an appropriate structure Expressing an answer, advice or opinion clearly and concisely, using correct grammar and spelling and using appropriate technical legal language where relevant PLEASE USE OSCOLA REFERENCING!

MAKE SURE TO USE UK LAW Yesterday was the funeral of Tamsin’s mother, Grace. The service was held at a crematorium owned by Local Authority Council (LAC). In arranging the funeral last week Tamsin and her father Bert, who is living with her at present, were informed by the manager of the crematorium that a maximum of 15 people was to be allowed at the funeral. This upset Tamsin and Bert as they have a large and extended family who would be unable to attend and pay their respects. Tamsin was also informed that no singing would be allowed in the service. In her will Grace, who attended church every Sunday with her family, requested that the hymn ‘Abide with Me’ be sang at her funeral. When they arrived at the crematorium yesterday Tamsin, her father and the other 13 members of the family, found that chairs in the chapel at the crematorium had been arranged so that they were all two metres apart from each other. When an instrumental version of ‘Abide with me’ was played in the service, Bert broke down and started crying. Tamsin moved her chair to be next to her father to comfort him. The manager of the crematorium stopped the service and instructed Tamsin to return her chair to its original place. The service was only started again when Tamsin did so. Tamsin contacted LAC today to complain about the behaviour of the manager at the crematorium, but was told he was following the rules of LAC to comply with Covid-19 restrictions. Advise Tamsin: 1. as to whether she can commence proceedings against the LAC; and 2. of any Convention rights that might be applicable; and 3. of any remedies available to Tamsin. Answers to this question should examine the relevant provisions of the Human Rights Act 1998 and relevant domestic case law. Other legislation may be relevant, but the question does not require a detailed knowledge of it and the assessment criteria requires a focus on the Human Rights Act 1998

Many universities now have full-time police departments on their campuses for the purpose of protecting students, faculty, staff, and visitors. Larger universities and most state university systems have campus police departments that are set up like many metropolitan police agencies.You are an intern with a detectives unit on a major state university campus. The surrounding area of the campus has turned into a pro-temp sort of university city, with bars and clubs in a village right outside of the university entrances. There are residence halls on the university campus itself. You are working with a detective in the University Police Department who has been designated as the “go to” investigator for situational sexual assaults (e.g., date rape). A young female sophomore has been found wandering around in the parking lot in front of her on-campus residence hall. The uniformed campus police have brought her to the station because she appears to have been assaulted (there is dirt on her clothing and legs, her clothing is torn, and she is displaying incoherent speech patterns). Her friends from the residence hall told the uniformed police that they saw her earlier in the evening in the “Student Station”, a local bar three blocks from the main entrance of the university campus. Furthermore, she was in the company of a man who was described as a Caucasian male, about 25 years old, and with short blond hair. When they saw her, she appeared to have been drinking heavily.Focus your discussion on the following:What strategy do you propose for investigating what may have occurred?Identify in order of sequence everything that you would do up until the interview of this potential victim.

Your company is considering a decision of relocating to another country. You have been given the job of researching different alternatives for relocation. Your report will help the board decide where to relocate, and will help the employees know what to expect in a new country. The company is considering Costa Rica, Saudi Arabia, and Germany. Your task is to review the legal system and policing style in these countries and produce a 3- to 4-page report in a Microsoft Word document addressing the following: What is the dominant policing style of each country? How do the police in each country deal with issues of human rights? Are there any protections in place for the citizens? Do the countries face any terrorism issues? Would a US company be at risk? Are there any activities that are legal in the United States but are illegal in the other countries? If an employee (or the company) were to be prosecuted for a crime, what kind of trial system (adversarial or inquisitorial) would be in effect? After reviewing the three countries, conclude your report by explaining: Which country’s police and legal systems seem to most closely resemble the systems of the United States? Which country would you recommend the company to choose? Why? You may choose to address each of the above-mentioned points for all three countries or review each country separately. The Central Intelligence Agency’s World Factbook is a good starting place for information on other countries. Support your responses with examples. Cite any sources in APA format.
