Packers Crime Control Model of Justice emphasized quick and efficient handling of arrests and convictions of offenders to maintain public order. The model emphasized victims rights. According to the model, even if an officer made a procedural mistake, the evidence should still be allowed because locking up the guilty is more important than protecting his/her Constitutional safeguards.
On the flip side, there was the due process model which focused on the individual rights of the victim and offender. The model stresses a slow and steady process that guaranteed procedures were followed and rights were protected. Police, judges, and prosecutors were to respect procedure and individual rights throughout the entire legal process. It was better to release someone on a technicality than to violate his/her Constitutional rights.
Where do you stand on this? Is crime control better for the criminal justice system or do you see due process as the better ideology? I have prepared a Powerpoint presentation on the topic which is located under Part 1 Powerpoints.
The assignment is worth up to 10
Respond to the original posts of at least 2 classmates by the assigned day at 11:59 PM. Responses such as, I agree, or thats what I would do, will earn no credit. You must post during the time frame in which the question is posed. Late responses will result in a grade of 0.
Discussion posts are used to determine attendance. You may not make all posts on the same day.

Imagine that you are an online tutor for an undergraduate Research Methods course. One day, you get this email:

Dear Tutor, I am having some trouble understanding why it is so important to randomly assign participants to experimental conditions. It seems to me that if you have a large enough sample, the results would probably be valid even if you didn’t bother to randomize the participants. Why is it important to go through the trouble of randomizing participants? Also, if you are going to randomly assign participants, how should you do it?

Respond to this student’s email, being sure to explain the concepts at the appropriate level for an undergraduate. In your response, be sure that you explain why it is important to randomize participants. Also, explain some of the ways that a researcher can randomly assign participants. Last, be sure to explain how a researcher can make valid conclusions even in situations where randomization is not possible.

Select one of the questions below and share your findings with the class.
Compare and contrast non-Western and European painting. For example, explain the attitude of traditional Chinese painters towards space, the picture surface, ambiguity and inscriptions. How does this differ from paintings done by Western European painters? Provide two works of art as examples in your response.
Compare and contrast non-Western and European architecture. Use buildings/cathedrals from Week 5 and Week 6 readings. For example, consider differences in Buddhist, Hindu, and Islamic architecture (select one) with that of Western European architecture. Consider interior and exterior space and decoration. Provide examples in your response.

Write a paper about how the film birth of a nation fits the ” Lost Cause” narrative.

Compare and contrast coding for inpatient, outpatient, and physician office settings. What are the differences? What are the similarities? What characteristics should medical coders working as unto The Lord display and why?

Write an argumentative research paper on why churches shouldn’t have tax exemption, it must include one counter argument and explain why it isnt valid. I also need an annotated bibliography. Explain why church tax exemption shouldn’t be allowed because it is unjustified.

Explain the differences between centripetal and centrifugal force and explain why centrifugal force is a “fictitious” force. Can you provide an example of another force that might count as a “fictitious” force and an experiment that could be devised to measure the magnitude of it?

Article Review
Write a 35 page APA-style paper with an annotated bibliography. Creating an annotated bibliography will require the application of a variety of intellectual skills and the ability to use appropriate search engines to identify scholarly journal articles (e.g. Harvard Business Review, Forbes), analyze the research findings, and write concisely. The 35 pages are for content and do not include the cover page or references. No abstract is required.
The research you conduct for this paper will be very specific in nature. You will need to research examples of Executive Leadership being demonstrated successfully in organizations in which a problem occurred and was turned around positively. You need to identify at least three peer-reviewed articles where examples of executive leadership excellence have been demonstrated.
Your Article Review Paper must include the following components:
Problem statement: Why did you choose this research topic? What kind of problem is being investigated? Who are the participants (the Executive Leadership team, for example)? How was your research conducted? What data collection methods are being used?
Summary of findings: from the peer-reviewed articles.
Outcome: What were the challenges that the Executive Leadership faced; how were they overcome? What was the outcome? Was it considered successful? Why or why not?
Discussion: based on your personal experience, knowledge, and skills on Organizational Leadership that you have gained from this course.
Citation
Provide references as many as needed. Please online references only, include URL address for each source.
Thank you.

Imagine that you manage a department in a health care organization of your choosing. The organization recently merged with another, layoff occured, and departments are now being consolidated. Your department now has employees whose ages span four generations, three different cultural groups are represented, and conflict is brewing between them. The conflict is affecting performance, shift scheduling, and cooperation with other departments.

** Write a 700-1050 word directive to address these conflicts. Do the following in your directive:

Assess the situation that your department is facing.
Create clear and reasonable expectations and goals to achieve cohesion, cooperation, and communication in your department.
Lay out a strategy to overcome these conflicts and improve workplace performance.
Explain how success will be measured based on your strategy and goals.
Consider using tables, matrices, or other visuals.

**Evaluate what leadership traits you need to incorporate in order to lead your diverse department.

**Create a 10 minute, 5-9 slide voice over PowerPoint and Cite 3 reputable references to support the assignment

Write a paper on the descriptive and historical biogeography of a family-sized clade. When preparing your presentation, you should use at least five peer-reviewed references.

Basic Structure of Presentation or Paper
Introduction to your clade
Introduces the taxonomic group of focus, and each of its genera, species, or subspecies
What is known and not known about this group
Distribution of your clade
Describe the distribution of your subgroups across different spatial scales
Think back to how we can view species distributions at numerous spatial scales (e.g., geographic distribution, regional occurrence in particular habitats, local patterns of abundance)
Compare and contrast your different species groups in these criteria: which species are rare, which are more common, which are endemic to certain areas, are they habitat specialists or generalists, do the species overlap in their ranges, or are they broadly disjunct, do they hybridize?
Historical biogeography of your clade
What is the hypothesized phylogeographic history of your groups?
Summarize the current understanding of the events (e.g., geological, climatic) and processes (e.g., adaptation, dispersal) that have resulted in the diversification and current distribution of your taxon and its subgroups
You should find published phylogenies that include all members of your focal group, and ideally that show dates for divergence times
Conclusion
Other Requirements
Figures: Include a minimum of two figures:
a map (or combination of maps) showing the distribution of your taxonomic group, including the location and distribution of subgroups
a phylogenetic tree for the relationships among the sub-groups within your taxon
It is OK to use figures from the internet; make sure you do two things 1) give credit to the source and 2) create your own comprehensive figure legends a reader should be able to interpret all the information conveyed in your figure in the figure legend (without referring to the text).
Sources: Include a minimum of 5 sources. The majority of your sources should come from peer-reviewed scientific journals. I would recommend starting with a general reference source like Wikipedia and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility for your clade, usually a family group, and then jump into searching for the papers you will use to inform your presentation/paper. As you are upper-division students, I hope you all are familiar with using the UAA/APU Consortium Library to locate relevant sources. When you go through their portal, you will have access to all of the papers that the University pays for.
Google Scholar – If you like this way of searching, you can still go through the Consortium Library, and it will make sure that you will have access to all that the University pays for.
