It will be discussed having the implications of poor packaging and the results which lead to contamination of all evidence if not packaged properly and the outcome when it is taken to court also the reliability of the CSI’s involved. It is also the job of the CSI to make sure all health and safety procedures are in place before handling and taking any piece of evidence as there are varying risks involved like sharps, contamination of evidence, weather conditions other witnesses interfering with the scene, other personnel and any form of biological hazards. These must be taken seriously and analysed before any search. Unit 5 1. Detail the forensic evidence that would have been taken away from the scene by the perpetrator. The crime scene is probably the most important part of any criminal investigation. It is where forensic science starts. Locard’s Principle states that...

...Task 1 – How would you define criminology? (418 words) Criminology lives as discipline that many people relate to differently, depending on their academic interests, background and exposure to the topic. For me personally it is useful to acknowledge this in order to develop a deeper understanding of the subject and my charity’s work. Therefore, I believe that the overarching definition of criminology would need to fulfill all the criteria of what we would require an effective theory to embrace, whilst also allowing me to relate to it as a tool that clearly identifies the remit of criminology. Criteria, such as concrete, evidence-based, quantitative or qualitative and scientifically-rooted, are fundamental to the subject of criminology. ‘The basic idea of science is to establish a method of knowing things that is independent of people’s opinions about them.’ This avoids overgeneralisation and prevents a theory from becoming so abstract that it detaches itself and no longer defines the topic summarised under its umbrella. As a result the theory can become a source of guidance and a framework that clearly includes themes, whilst also representing a boundary that differentiates what lies within from the rest that remains outside its remit. With regard to criminology what lies within includes an agreed methodology to conduct research in order to analyse an observation. What is important is that a theory remains empirically testable and that the evidence gathered supports the theory...

...development. In effect, awareness to the significant benefits of education directed the school towards offering different courses, specifically in the tertiary level. One of such education is Criminology, a highly intellectual field, especially because the majority of the job’s responsibilities rely on determining and analyzing criminal patterns. According to Agas (2008), criminology focused on the study of crime, the causes of crime, the meaning of crime in terms of law, and community reaction to crime. It also deals with the scientific study of criminals and criminal behavior. Criminologists attempt to build theories that explain why crimes occur and test those theories by observing behavior. This course focuses on such topics as criminal jurisprudence, criminal sociology, crime detection and investigation, drug education and vice control, law enforcement administration, correctional administration, industrial security management, probation, and juvenile delinquency. As such, criminology students shall pass all of the General Education and Professional subjects and undergo Comprehensive Review to be more capable of passing the Licensure Examination. General Education subjects like English, Mathematics, Filipino, and Science serve as the basic foundation of learning in other subjects in the curriculum of BS Criminology like technical report writing which helps the students to be aware of what is the actual way on how the police officers made blotter and police report writing...

...criminological writing and debate which has taken place throughout the nineteenth and twentieth century, the resulting theories which have emerged have tended to each focus too heavily on one particular aspect of crime and its control and as such, have proved to be incomplete approaches to our understanding of crime and its reduction; the focus of these being on the victim or on the offender, on the social reaction to crime or on the criminal behaviour itself [Young, 1995, p 102], but never sufficiently all inclusive. As a result, the criminal justice system, in reliance on this partial criminology, has introduced penal measures which have proved completely ineffective in reducing crime. I shall demonstrate my argument with a discussion of post World War II criminology and penology, and provide practical examples of how partial criminology has lead to a failure in crime reduction [by 'partial criminology', I refer to criminological theories which have focussed and relied too heavily on one particular aspect of crime and have as a result, failed to help its reduction]. I shall then conclude this essay by discussing some of the more recent criminological approaches which have emerged in the latter decades of the twentieth century, and discuss how these writings and debate might have paved the way for a brighter future in terms of effective crime control. From the latter part of the 1950's to the early 70's, the study of deviance and crime by criminologists entered an intensive period...

It gets to the root of the problem; not just scratching the surface like the current method of correcting a problem. Peacemaking criminology can influence the concerns of mandatory arrest policies, domestic violence, and community policing that have been problematic for years (Moloney, 2009).

Self-Reported Cyber Crime: An Analysis on the Effects of Anonymity and Pre-Employment Integrity Ibrahim Baggili 1 Zayed University, United Arab Emirates (UAE) Marcus Rogers 2 Purdue University, West Lafayette, USA Abstract A key issue facing today’s society is the increase in cyber crimes. Cyber crimes pose threats to nations, organizations and individuals across the globe. Much of the research in cyber crime has risen from computer science-centric programs, and little experimental research has been performed on the psychology of cyber crime. This has caused a knowledge gap in the study of cyber crime. To this end, this research focuses on understanding psychological concepts related to cyber crime. Through an experimental design, participants were randomly assigned to three groups with varying degrees of anonymity. After each treatment, participants...

Lumanog, Jr. Leonilo F. Fuentis, Jr. Kim Rhayian S. Igdanes BSCrim - IV CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Criminology is a social science approach that studies law making, law breaking, and the social responses to crime. The principal elements of criminology are social science theory and research methods that explore all aspects of criminalities and justice issues. It is a field of critical inter-disciplinary inquiries that focus on the analyses of crimes, criminalities, social control and regulations, and the criminal justice system. Inter-disciplinary in nature, the theoretical and methodological approaches central to Criminology are complemented by a number of disciplines, including anthropology, history, political science, sociology, philosophy, and psychology (Pratt, 2011). In this era of globalization and technological revolution, education is considered as a first step for every human activity. It plays a vital role in the development of human capital and is linked with an individual’s well-being and opportunities for better living. It ensures the acquisition of knowledge and skills that enable individuals to increase their productivity and improve their...

...Task 1 - What is Criminology. Criminology could be defined in many ways. My understanding is that there is not one proven categorical definition of the word Criminology as there are so many ways to describe it. Criminology has been orientated towards Sociological, and has been in the main since the 1920’s. However there are some statements that link Criminology to that of Psychological and Biological thinking the books stipulate. However regardless of whichever discipline you choose to define Criminology one thing is stated for certain which “is the use of a systematic way of thinking”. My definition of Criminology is this.........(go on to document your own thoughts) Task 2 - What is the difference between Macro & Micro theories Macro Theories Macro is a category that more abstract criminal theories fall into. A definition of Macro is that it is most often concerned with Social Structures and the effects of those structures on our human behaviour. It is stated that the Macro theories most often give little consideration to the individual, and instead most often consider society as a whole. Macro theories of Criminology for example could be conflict ideas. Most macro theories can be described as Epidemiological. This is in no related to the medical term. In criminology the term is concerned with rates of criminal activity overall. Micro Theories Micro theories are it is stated generally more solid / concrete. These theories try and attempt to explain how people come to...

...Deviance and Social Control Deviance and Social Control Unit: New Left Realism New Left Realism Deviance and Social Control New Left Realism Introduction In the early 1980's, two "new" approaches to the study of crime and deviance began to emerge in Britain and America, both of which focused upon the "realities" of crime (specifically) - but from different ends of the political spectrum. In Britain, the "New Left Realism" started to develop through the work of writers such as Lea and Young ("What Is To Be Done About Law And Order?", 1984), while the "New Right Realism" (confusing isn't it?) developed around the work of Wilson ("Thinking About Crime", 1977) in America and writers such as Clarke and Mayhew ("Designing out Crime", 1980) in Britain. While, as you might expect, the two basic approaches address the "problem" of crime from quite different political starting points, they have a couple of ideas in common: 1. Both view crime as a form of "social problem" - not only for control agencies but also for the victims / potential victims of crime. 2. Both produce ideas that attempt to locate crime within a wider political (albeit different) context - the "New Realism". In this set of Notes, therefore, what I propose to do is: a. Outline the basic elements of each perspective. b. Evaluate their overall strengths, weaknesses and general contributions to our understanding of the phenomenon of crime / deviance. This set of Notes focuses on New Left Realism and a subsequent...
