Explain in detail why is it critical to work with the victim to solve a crime? In my opinion, it is critical to work with the victim to solve a crime, more importantly, a particular crime the victim have endured in because they will be able to provide you with a detailed explanation of the situation; the official can receive an understanding of the story which most likely should be the true if coming from the victim. By communicating with the victim officials might receive more information than needed. First off the victim was physically there to experience and deliver the story correctly and honestly; secondly, the victim can help the officials by testifying in court or providing any evidence such as DNA or their offender's semen from sexual
When preparing for an interview, a great deal of thought and consideration needs to be completed before the interview even begins. The person conducting the interview needs to think about where the interview is going to take place, the time of which it will occur at, and what kind of technology will be used. They need to review the file and consider who is being interviewed, what the person has experienced, and how they may be affected. Interviewing someone is a crucial part of policing, and ultimately helps police solve crimes. When it is done properly, it can be very successful, but if it is not done properly, it could ultimately end an investigation. Therefore, an interview can either be successful or not, and here are some points displaying the success and improvements that can be done in interviews.
Afterwards, victimology came as a branch of criminology, and it focused on analyzing crime victims and how they contribute to his or her own victimization. The purpose of this essay is to describe theories, methods, and issues constituting the modern field of victimology from the 1940s to 1970s. This paper will also describe the strengths and weakness of these
There are specific ethical considerations that need to be addressed when investigating Homicide and rape. A few of these ethical considerations are shared between the two such as the investigators mind state. This plays an important role in the preparations required for a successful prosecution. The investigator must be open-minded to any and all possibilities and be un-bias. The investigator must also know how to conduct all the elements of an investigation in the proper manner from a professional and legal aspect.
Causes of crime are arguably criminology’s most important and largest research topic. In this process of research, criminologists and academics have used numerous theories in attempts to explain how and why people resort to crime (Ellis, Beaver, Wright, 2009). The purpose of this paper is to examine a case study first with the use of strain theories (ST), followed by social learning theory (SLT). The first section will involve a summary of the case of R v Mark Andrew HUGHES (2009) NSWDC 404 involving an outline of the offender’s personal life, of his crimes, and his punishment handed down by
In a criminal investigation case, a victim is usually seeking justice for an offence against them personally. Victims can
Conferencing also benefit the victim by giving them the opportunity to negotiate an agreement to repair the harm as well as allowing them to tell the offender directly the effects the crime had on them.
The collection of all this data allows for theoretical explanations by criminologists on the social interactions between the victim and the offender(s).
Solving a crime is difficult for detectives. Homicides are even harder cases to solve, the only person that can really tell what happened is dead. So many people are afraid to step up as witnesses, they fear their life would be in jeopardy for helping the detectives. For homicide detectives, the first forty-eight hours is the most critical part for solving a case. After that, the probability of solving the case reduces by fifty percent. Each passing hour gives suspects more time to get away, witnesses more time to forget what they saw, and crucial evidence more time to be lost forever. There are several steps to take in solving a homicide.
The three key goals victims can pursue through the criminal justice system is to punish the offender, compel law breakers to undergo rehabilitate treatment and restitution. Punishment is usually justified on utilitarian grounds as evil. Although it is argued that making transgressors suffer curbs future criminality in a number of ways. It is said if an offender gets punished by unpleasant and unwanted consequences it will most likely discouraged him/her from breaking the law again. Also it satisfies victims thirst for revenge and prevents future vigilantism and incapacitates dangerous predators so they can be off the streets; a safer community. Rehabilitation, some victims want professionals to help offenders become decent,
From the first death penalty law recorded in the eighteen hundred many people have been sentenced to death row but many not actually being executed. Since 1976 one thousand four hundred and thirty-eight people have been executed because of their crimes. This is a time in American the death penalty is no longer just in the south. More criminals are being sentenced than ever. Thirty-one states have the death penalty and nineteen that don’t, Nebraska is one. In May of 2015 our legislature voted to repeal the state’s death penalty. By doing that, they did the right thing, the death penalty should not be in effect. Because I believe that the death penalty is unjust my points supporting that are, sentencing someone to death row is highly costly
Secondly, the physical aspects of the victim are important as well; is the victim is heavy, and was dragged for a long distance, it can be surmised that the criminal is strong and may have a muscular appearance. (Patterson) Victimology is first and foremost an investigative tool, providing context, connections, and investigative direction. (Turvey) Some people may ask, “Why profile the victim?” but profiling the victim is a very important element that helps profilers better understand the criminal. Profilers look at the general lifestyle and activities of the victim in order to know who had access to them and when. Knowing the victim and properly profiling them may establish a relational link between the victim and criminal. When profiling a victim it is important to look at them as a real person as well as a victim. Some investigators and detectives have a tendency to deify or vilify the victim in a case. Deification involves idealizing victims. For example,
I agree with the claim that criminals need to be brought to justice no matter how powerful they are, or how powerful they perceive themselves to be. Some might object to the methods used by police forces to capture these criminals. Arguing that their methods do not produce results fast enough. Yet I would argue that Police forces around the world in charge of bringing these criminals to justice do what is necessary to make the world safer. Even though their methods take time, the do infact produce results. Overall I believe that the justice system, even though it has its flaws, is still doing what is necessary to bring the worst criminals to justice, Especially those as villainous as El Chapo.

Abstract- Wireless sensor networks have been used in agricultural scenario because of the need for enhancing precision, quality and quantity in farming. This paper is about developing a prototype for the system which utilized a real time wireless sensor network to communicate wirelessly with a pest management system that measures the parameters air temperature and air humidity in an Apple farm for the prediction of disease, Apple Scab in Apple. For this purpose an application software has been developed to derive a relation among these parameters and Disease Severity Index to find out the need of pesticide spray for disease control of these crops. The information is linked to server to alert farmers regarding the environmental changes
There are many different interactions between victims and various components of the criminal justice system. This includes victims and defense attorneys, prosecutors, police, correctional officers, and juries. Each can affect the victim in its own way. In my opinion, one of the most crucial interactions is that of the victim and judge. The judge technically has the final say in determining the outcome of a case involving a victim and their offender. In Crime Victims An Introduction to Victimology, Andrew Karmen discusses this interaction. He identifies the processes of granting bail, sentencing offenders, and appealing to the supreme court (Karmen, 2016). When it comes to these aspects, victims of crime can feel
