An APA Style References Page entry

A summary of the source (8-10 sentences) where you explain specifics such as:

Why the information the source provides is credible.

How you could use this source in your problem/solution presentation project. For example, what background information does it describe? In what way does it explain or provide information about the problem? In what way does it explain or provide information about the solution or solutions?

Remember: You should cite sentence by sentence. If a sentence contains any source information, it should be cited with a parenthetical citation. This is true even if you are putting the words of your source into your own words (paraphrasing). You are still using the ideas from the source, and those ideas must be cited.

A direct quote of research that you expect to cite in your presentation. Be sure to include quotation marks around the quoted material and the proper in-text (parenthetical) citation for the source.

By AssignmentHelp Blog

The Rights of Citizens

Overview

It is important to understand your responsibilities as a criminal justice professional when engaging with citizens. This assignment is broken into three parts and you must complete each part of the assignment.

Each part includes a text or video scenario to which you will respond by writing a 1-2 page paper for each scenario that examines specific information regarding the events using your knowledge of the United States Constitution.

Instructions

Part 1: Law Enforcement Officer Arrives at the Scene Scenario

An 18-year-old high school student walks to class carrying a backpack. He is stopped by the school security guard and his backpack is searched. A loaded handgun is discovered. The school security guard takes the student to the principal’s office. The principal calls the local police. In the state where the school is located, it is illegal to carry a concealed weapon without a permit and all weapons are prohibited on campus.

Officer Smith arrives at the school approximately 10 minutes later. Officer Smith takes a statement from the school security guard and searches the student’s backpack. He seizes the gun and places the student under arrest. Officer Smith then asks the student if he would like to make a statement to explain why he was carrying a concealed weapon on campus.

The Rights of Citizens

The student replies, “What weapon? That’s not my backpack and I never saw that gun before.”

The student is then transported to the local jail. However, on the way to the local jail, Officer Smith asks the student again why he brought a loaded gun on campus. The student admits that it was his gun and stated that he needed it for protection. Upon arrival at the local jail, the student is booked. Six hours later, the student is interviewed by a Detective Columbo. The detective reads the student his Miranda warning and asks the student if he would like to make a statement.

The student replies, “No, I want a lawyer.”

Write a 1-2 page paper in which you:

Examine the constitutional amendment or amendments that would relate to this situation.

Outline the appropriate procedures you would need to follow to comply with the associated amendments to ensure admissibility of evidence.

The Rights of Citizens

Evaluate the officer’s actions and determine whether his search, the student’s confession, and the weapon discovery were lawful and/or admissible. Provide a rationale for your opinion.

Use at least two sources to support your writing. Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment. For help with research, writing, and citation, access the library or review library guides.

Consider using Cornell Law’s LII U.S. ConstitutionLinks to an external site. Web page. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as academic resources.

Part 2: Arrest and Trial Scenario

Tyler, a well-known escort service provider in his community, is suspected of the murder of an escort who worked for him. The local police meet Tyler at the airport when he arrives from a trip to Cancun. He is arrested for his suspected connection to the murder of the escort. The police do not inform Tyler of his right to remain silent or his right to counsel. They immediately begin to interrogate him. They continue to question him until he admits that he knew the prostitute and that she worked for him. He also admits that he was with her the night of the alleged murder. Tyler is transported to the local jail and booked. The prosecutor files charges of first degree murder against Tyler. Tyler does not waive his rights to a speedy trial. He asks that an attorney be appointed and demands a trial by jury.

Write a 1-2 page paper in which you:

Examine the constitutional amendment or amendments that would relate to this situation.

Identify and discuss four elements of arrest.

Describe the appropriate procedures to comply with Tyler’s rights to due process.

Past of Present Assignment

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Past of Present Assignment

You will submit this assignment via the Turnitin assignment area on MyHills. The assignment should be 300-400 words, typed and double-spaced.

Due dates

See the course schedule.

Submit via MyHills in the Past of the Present area of the course menu. You are welcome to submit them early.

Purpose:

One of the things I would like you to get out of this class is a sense of historical context and how that context shapes the world in which we live. Think about it as “the past of the present.”

Directions:

Choose a news article about a current event. The article should be no more than 2 months Provide the title and a link to the article you’ve chosen at the top of the page.
Summarize the article in a few
For the majority of the assignment, explain how what you’ve learned in class or in the textbook helped you to better understand the In other words, connect it to the class with specific examples and citations from the course materials. If it’s from the textbook, include a page number. If it’s from the learning units, give the name of the video, mini-lecture, audio, or handout.

Past of Present Assignment

Here are some examples of questions you might ask yourself: How do our course materials help me understand the context (background) of this news story? How are the events described in the story related to a topic we’ve studied in class—what are the similarities and what are the differences? As Mark Twain said, “history doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” No two events or people are “just like” each other. Is this event part of a larger historical pattern? How might an understanding of history change the outcome of the events described in the story?

The best articles will allow you to make logical connections. If you find yourself really stretching, you should find another article. Try to find a modern-day story that you can connect to the historical background you’ve learned in class. A lengthy article centered on a historical event or book would not be a good example of a news article because it would be hard to find enough new details from your course materials to provide background. The best article choices are organic. They find something recent and in the headlines. Ideally, it would not look like you did a Google News search on some topic we’ve covered, like WWI, and found an article from two months ago. Choose an article from a news source, not a website for an organization, encyclopedia/reference, or similar page.

Past of Present Assignment

News Sources:

I must admit, part of the point of the assignment is to get you to engage with the news if you’re not doing so already, so the most organic way to do this is just check the news every day and keep your eyes peeled and ears tuned. As backup, here are a few suggestions for news sources that have reporters out in the field. You do not have to use one from this list. If you have any doubts about your news source, run it past me and/or check it against the news database on MyHills.

Local newspapers, of course: The Ottumwa Courier, Oskaloosa Herald, Fairfield Ledger/Southeast Iowa Union, Daily Iowegian, Bloomfield Democrat, Albia News, etc.

Associated Press: https://www.ap.org/en-us/ Reuters http://www.reuters.com/

National Public Radio www.npr.org

The Christian Science Monitor http://www.csmonitor.com/ BBC World News http://www.bbc.com/news

The Guardian (UK or US editions) https://www.theguardian.com/us

The New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/

The Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/

Foreign Policy http://foreignpolicy.com

Politico https://www.politico.com/

The Hill https://thehill.com/

Smithsonian Magazine: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/

National Geographic: http://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/ Archeology Magazine: https://www.archaeology.org/

Do not use the History Channel (www.history.com); it’s not a news source.

Past of Present Assignment

Sources

Besides the news article, you should only use your class notes and textbook, not outside sources. The point of the assignment is to demonstrate that you can organize and apply what you’re learning in class to a current event. Cite all your sources. MLA or APA is fine. Chicago Style is standard for history, but frankly, it’s fairly complex and not something you’ll use again unless you become a history major. Google “Purdue OWL citation” for an explanation of citation styles.

As always, if you need help, don’t hesitate to contact me.

For writing assistance, go to an IHCC Success Center or NetTutor on our MyHills page. In either case, choose a writing tutor rather than a history tutor. Do not use websites that edit your paper for you using AI.

Review the policies on Academic Integrity in the course syllabus. The work needs to come from your brain, not internet tools.

The Reality Check – Snapchat

By AssignmentHelp Blog

The Reality Check – Snapchat

Week 7 Application Paper

The Reality Check “Snapchat: When Is a Company’s Product Responsible for Causing Injuries?” presents an opportunity to consider the ethical challenges associated with negligence. The authors explain that “negligence involves having the ability to foresee the consequences of our acts and failing to take steps to avoid the likely harmful consequences” (p. 314)(Chapter 8-Ethics and Marketing). For this application paper, read the Reality Check on page 314, and then craft an academic paper that addresses the four sets of questions it posed:

What liability, if any, should Snapchat have for the damages caused by this accident? No one denies that the driver bears primary responsibility, but did Snapchat also contribute to the harms caused?

What uses could Snapchat have reasonably foreseen for this speed filter? What could Snapchat reasonably be expected to know about the users of its products?

The Reality Check – Snapchat

Was the advice contained in the terms of service sufficient warning to protect Snapchat from any misuse of its products?

Do you think that the speed filter is a dangerous product? Was Snapchat negligent in marketing this product?

Use the attached file (APA (7th Ed) Template for Student Papers) for your document.

What liability, if any, should Snapchat have for the damages caused by this accident? No one denies that the driver bears primary responsibility, but did Snapchat also contribute to the harms caused?
