Computational Thinking As Explained By Jeannette M. Wing

To tie this reading into the lecture, we look at the different roles that are played by the same people in the two varying types of cases: cold cases and hot cases. One of the first facts put out there by Professor Dadio to differentiate between the two is that you don’t need a crime scene for a criminal investigation to take place. This seemed odd to me, because a criminal must have

Then the lead officer will need to determine the boundaries of the scene starting at the central point and extending outward, safeguarding the crime scene with yellow police tape noting possible paths of entry and exits of suspects and witnesses. It's better to close off a larger area at first and then make smaller if needed. The precautions that are taken are very important to safeguarding evidence and minimizing contamination.

The presence of an individual in a high crime area is not enough by itself to support reasonable suspicion that a person is committing a crime. However, along with other factors, it is relevant. Nervous, evasive behavior is a pertinent factor in determining reasonable suspicion. Headlong flight is the consummate act of evasion but is not an signal of wrong doing. It does however, suggest of such.

Teaching higher order thinking skills is not a recent need. It is apparent that students, at all levels of education, are lagging in problem-solving and thinking skills. Fragmentation of thinking skills, however, may be the result of critical thinking courses and texts. Every course, especially in content subjects, students should be taught to think logically, analyze and compare, question and evaluate.

Location of Interview: My partner and I will interview the suspect, Gavoni, at the procurement building in a traditional office setup. We will clearly communicate with his Supervisor, Carl Rodgers, and request an office to use. We will ask Rodgers not to tell Gavoni anything about the situation. After we arrive and preset the office space to our liking we will call Rodgers and request that he tell Gavoni to report to the designated office immediately and fully cooperate. We don’t want Gavoni to know about the suspect interview until the moment he walks into the designated office. This

Investigation: The detective upon receiving information on the events, beings his initial investigation of the crime. The detective, along with his team, collects evidence such as: video surveillance, finger prints, bullet analysis, blood pattern analysis, DNA, and interviews the witnesses. At some point in the investigation, an interview was conducted on a customer that got a full description of the suspect. The detective, upon hearing his statement, requests for a sketch artist. The sketch artist pencils up a picture of the suspect and copies are made and handed out to all patrols. The individual describes the suspect as a tall white male, with short brown hair, about 6’4, wearing glasses with a five o’ clock shadow, and about 210lbs. The suspect was described as wearing a white hoodie and blue

One of the first steps in finding out whom the suspect is, is by obtaining and evaluating factual information. You must obtain as much information on the offense as you can.For instance, Harry Franks, a money-order collector, had just walked out of the Cute-Rate store in Fairmount where he was attacked by two guys. These two attackers had thrown acid in Mr. Franks face, beat him and then executed him with a gun. A third attacker pulled up to the side of the curb in a green car in which the other two attackers got into and all three attackers drove off. Information on the

Based on the order the detectives disappeared in, they got rid of them in order of skill. This was proven when I found out you were the only detective still in town.” “I find that very offensive of them,” said Guvna glaring. In a moment he was happy again, and asked, “Would you like some tea Mr. Mreeman?” “No, thank you, but I must be going now,” Mreeman replied as he pulled his hood back up. “Oh and by the way, if you do somehow manage to solve the case, I will pay you $1,000,000.” Guvna spat out his sip of tea. “Well, it looks like I have a crime to solve.”

One of the most important aspects of a programming is their ability to solve problems. I hope that I continue to take this concept to heart in the years to come. If I continue to enjoy the process of problem solving and by extension critical thinking then I believe that my life will become very simple, and instead of having a bunch of unsolvable issues, I could have easily solvable

There are several search methods or patterns applied in an organized search. Factors such as the number of searchers, the size of the area to be searched, the terrain, etc. are used to determine the method or pattern to be employed in the crime scene search.” (Amos, 2011)

Scotland Yard, can be represented as an undirected graph, as in figure 5 we can see that Mr. X and the detectives are able to move in any direction as long as they have a valid ticket to travel between stations. (Simpson, 2001) states “we denote the set of vertices by V and the set of edges by E. Given a graph G, with vertices and edges E, we may write G = (V, E).” This implies each station on the board can be denoted as a vertex and each route can be denoted as an edge, edges connecting the stations together. The data structure of a graph represents a many to many relationship and this is clear as each vertex (station) on the board has many in links and many out links which are characterised as the routes that the detectives and Mr. X can

The concepts of critical thinking and creative thinking are both gaining increasing importance in the world today. Critical thinking allows people to understand difficult concepts in a manner that is clearer and more defined. They can more readily understand those concepts if they employ critical thinking. In all portions of everyday life, a person is expected to make independent judgments. Those judgments are based on experience and knowledge. Without the ability to think critically, every situation that a person comes across would have to be considered in isolation from all other situations. When a person encounters a problem that is a new one, he or she may be able to use critical thinking to solve those problems.

While there has been criticism of the Holmesian method of deduction, many people support the idea that the use of deducing people can help with capture of criminals. While Holmes refers to his findings as deduction himself many people say, “that the process that Sherlock Holmes engages in is usually not deduction” (Novella). Deduction is defined as using a logic method of assumptions based on general statements about the world (Novella). However, Holmes himself makes more of an educated inference on what he observes about the suspects and evidence in his surroundings. The term “Holmesian Deduction” has been used to distinguish the two different methods (Novella). Holmes most famous quote, “when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth”, is often cited as the best definition to his method of deduction. While it is not a method commonly used now thanks to more advances in crime fighting methods and technology, Holmesian deduction has certainly influenced that way we look at a crime scene.

Logical reasoning is very important in all areas of knowledge of the curriculum but it is especially crucial for Computer Science as much of the design work is done in your head using programming to test these hypothesis. For primary computer science it means that pupils use an appropriate
