Criminal Justice Case Study

This conclusion lines up with what the textbook states about determining a time of death. The textbook lists many factors that can affect body decomposition including temperature, rainfall, and humidity (Lyman 284). Obviously it would be extremely difficult if not impossible for investigators to factor in all these variables given the fourth months between when the body was dumped until it was found. This makes it clear that investigators could not truly determine an exact time of death.

I specifically chose this internship experience because previously, I held internships at Flood Law, a defense law firm, and the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office and I figured this internship is a progression. I was definitely interested in exploring the different areas in law to figure out what it is that I wanted and did not want to do and this internship, by far has helped me do that. This internship experience has shaped my career ambitions, as I will further go into detail during the duration of this paper, by allowing me to be exposed to the different areas of law, which then made me decide on what I found to be interested in and areas I did not so much

Following my internship, I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice and accepted a position with the Department of Child Services (DCS) as a case manager; the same one I had observed in the forensic interview room years ago. Intervening in the lives of families as a DCS case manager is extremely fast-paced, stressful, contentious and heartbreaking. Entering a stranger’s home and making a decision that will impact their lives for years to come forces one

The family has been determined indigent for services. Samkisha has received public defender services for her criminal matters and Mrs. Beale has received Medicaid since she was 16 years of age. Mrs. Beale disclosed she is court ordered to receive child support in the amount of $202 per month from Mr. Robinson for Samkisha, but stated he seldom make payments of such. She also reported she receives unemployment in the amount of $204 per week and Social Security Income (SSI) for Samkisha in the amount of $670 per month.

I have written formal bail reports from a handwritten report, filled out forms for illegal immigrants, open files into their program (PACTS) and follow up with defendant’s third party custodian to check if they have any problems or changes to report to the court. I have also learned that I am afraid of public speaking. I believe this internship will help me overcome it before it is over. To be in a Law Enforcement position, we have to have confidence and good oral skills to communicate with others. I definitely recommend this internship for Criminal Justice students who are interested to learn about the federal system and would like to get good connection for the future. I have expressed my interest to continue working with them after the internship is over. I believe students should know more about the Pretrial Services, and what it

Interning at the FBI is one of my most meaningful experiences because it gave me the opportunity to serve in my community, learn how to effectively communicate between the intelligence community and the outside community, as well as strengthened my leadership skills.

As the internship program and the training intended, I have learned much related to my major, Criminal Justice. This internship helped me to acknowledge that qualified, knowledgeable professionals are needed by our complex society to define, administer, and put our rules and standards into force. Like jobs in any other field, to work in the field of law requires expertise. Trained experts are the most desirable to be hired by organizations, tasked to manage justice, to direct their operations. By writing articles for the legal website, I learned to assess law enforcement situations orderly. I learned to make use of the basic legal and management theories to analyze the situations. I got the opportunity to show my understanding of the key process in the U.S. criminal justice system. I also learned to combine approaches from management, law, and the behavioral science to apply them to the situations I was studying.

For my internship I was with the Spirit Lake Police Department. They are located in Spirit Lake Iowa and they’re a city police department. They have a total of ten people working in their department. The Spirit Lake Police Department hierarchy is one Chief; Jeff Hanson, two Sergeants; Shane Brevik and Scott Colt, 6 Officers; Josh Kilpatrick, Nathan Roth, Daren Diers, Jesse Miller, Hunter Clayton, and Ryan Vos. They also have an office secretary Sanja Erickson. They also have a K-9 whose name is Cairo his handler is Sergeants Brevik. They also normally have a lieutenant but Rodney Baker retired back in May so they’re in the process of promoting one of their officers to that position once there new officer Ryan Vos comes back from the academy. The schedules that the Spirit Lake officers have are 4 days on and then 4 days off. They work a 12-hour shift (Six to Six). They

While I discussed my internship at the Perry County Circuit Courthouse, I included my ability to pay close attention to detail and have complete accuracy in my work. I chose to have this internship woven into my resume

The have very busy jobs to do, so we make copies of orders and indictments for them to save time. This of course is the most informative job we have as interns because we get to watch all of the court cases and actually be a part of the big picture in the courtroom. We create the files that the ADA’s use to identify each defendant and we file each one with the clerk’ office on the second floor. When a case is closed, we write the date it was closed on the folder and then file it in the closed file cabinet. We are also responsible for taking all the closed files to the evidence overflow/closed case storage at the sheriff’s department. In the overflow were endless seizures from past crimes for us to gaze upon. Even an old drug dealers Z60 corvette was parked in the parking lot. At the District Attorney’s office, we were not stereotypical interns, we were actual employees with real responsibilities. The things we learned here in the courtroom and in the office gave us priceless experience a school classroom could not provide, along with lifelong connections and friendships that mean a lot more than just a few credit

Our advisor has a ton of labs for my partner and I to practice with, plus the text books we study. If we didn’t have this program it would be hard to really know if this is something I’m actually interested in, so I am really grateful for the opportunity. I haven’t fully decided on exactly what field I want to enter, but toxicology, DNA, and finger prints interest me the most. I didn’t know when I pulled into my cousin’s drive way and found him talking to the police about how he had been robbed that it would further cement my thoughts for a future career. My family and I had been driving all day to reach our family reunion and we were so excited to finally get out of the car. As soon as we pulled up to my cousin’s house there were police talking to my cousin and walking around the house. Someone had broken in and stolen his truck and his gun safe. I knew that I wanted to be a forensic scientist/ crime scene investigator, but this moment really drove the idea home. When the CSI worker arrived, I asked if I could follow him around and help while he did his investigation around the house. I helped him take pictures of finger prints and evidence from around the

During my internship with the Bibb County Sheriff Office, I was assigned to different divisions of the agency, which elevated my educational knowledge and skills to a higher level. To provide insight into my experience, I shadowed deputy sheriffs from the Warrants and NCIC (National Crime Information Center), Patrol,

I am writing to express my interest for the general law enforcement internship position. As a criminology major, I am interested in law enforcement and particularly in the work of investigations because of its focus on careful examination to discover facts or gain information on people who are breaking the law. Through my studies and activities at the University of Minnesota Duluth, I have developed both the content knowledge in criminology and the leadership skills needed to be successful in this position.

During this day I was able to observe on how to make a report for the arrest at the county jail and what information had to go on the report. There had to a summary what had happened, the information from the detainee, and the affidavit report that goes to the judge. During this day I was also able to see what the procedures that the jailers have to follow are. First they get all of your information and your finger prints, and then they search you for anything that is not allowed after they confiscate everything that you had and they put them in a vacuum sealed package that is place in a secure place after that they give the detainees there jail apparel and take their picture. During this internship I was able to experience how well this deputies were well trained for their job and how much experience they had which could help me understand what the life experience of a deputy is like which could help me make a decision in what agency I would like to work for in the
