...also the building block for both the defense and prosecution in criminal cases. This paper will explore the history of DNA profiling in the criminal justice system. While it is a common misconception that James Watson and Francis Crick discovered DNA in the 1950s, it was actually discovered in the 1800s. The molecule now known as DNA was first identified in the 1860s by a Swiss chemist called Johann Friedrich Miescher. Johann set out to research the key components of white blood cells, part of our body’s immune system. The main source of these cells was pus-coated bandages collected from a nearby medical clinic....

...The Searchers The Searchers is considered to be a true American masterpiece of filmmaking, and the best, most influential, and maybe even the most-admired film of director John Ford. The film's themes are racism, individuality, the American character, and the opposition between civilizations: exemplified by homes, caves, and other domestic interiors and the untamed frontier wilderness. The Searchers paved the way for later amazing westerns. John Wayne plays Ethan Edwards, a former Confederate soldier who returns to his brother, Aaron's frontier cabin three years after the end of the Civil War. Ethan still has his rebel uniform and weapons, a large stash of Yankee gold, and no explanations as to where he's been since Lee's surrender. A loner uncomfortable in the presence of his family, Ethan also has a bitter hatred of Indians and trusts no one but himself. Ethan and Martin Pawley (Jeffrey Hunter), Aaron's adopted son, band together a team of Texas Rangers fending off an assault by renegade Comanches. Before they can run off the Indians, several homes are attacked, and Ethan returns to find his brother and sister-in-law dead and their two daughters kidnapped. While they soon learn that one of the girls is dead, the other, Debbie, is still alive, and with obsessive determination, Ethan and Martin spend the next five years in a relentless search for Debbie and for Scar (Henry Brandon), the fearsome Comanche chief who abducted her. But while Martin wants to save his sister and bring...

...Dr. Alec John Jeffreys is a British geneticist who developed techniques for DNA fingerprinting and DNA profiling that are now used worldwide by investigators to bring justice to perpetrators as well as to resolve paternity and immigration disputes. Jeffreys was born into a middle-class family in Oxford, where he spent the first six years of his life until 1956, when the family moved to Luton, Bedfordshire. He attributes his curiosity and inventiveness to having been gained from his father, as well as his paternal grandfather, who held ma ny patents. When he was eight, his father gave him a chemistry set, which he enhanced over the next few years with extra chemicals, even including a small bottle of Sulphuric acid. He says he liked making small explosions, but an accidental splash of the sulphuric acid caused a burn, which left a permanent scar on his chin (now under his beard). His father also bought him a...

...the fingers, and these fingerprints became the standard for identification. However, the finger patterns can be altered by surgery or other means. DNA within living cells is difficult to alter. Sir Alec Jeffreys at the University of Leicester invented genetic printing in the mid 1980s. The DNA profile is similar to a fingerprint, existing only for that person. Jeffreys coined the term DNA fingerprint and envisioned its powerful use. A single hair, a drop of blood, semen, or other body fluid can reveal the identity of a person. DNA fingerprinting is used for identifying people, studying populations, and forensic investigations. It is in the area of forensics and crime detection that DNA use is the most promising-- as well as the most controversial. The technology of DNA fingerprinting is based on a single assumption that no two people have the same DNA. The 3-billion-base sequence is made of four biochemical blocks or nucleotides: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C). The base pairs produce more combinations or variations than there are humans. In DNA fingerprinting, scientists focus on a segment where sequences vary a great deal from one individual to another. Five to ten percent of the genome has tandem repeats (meaning side-by-side). Jeffreys used long repeats called variable number of tandem...

...of security for president Nixon--broke into the Watergate office complex, which served as a headquarters for the Democratic Party (Perlstein 50). Upon interrogation, many officials testified that the Watergate burglars had received aid from inside the White House. The first to accuse Nixon of involvement in the scandal was John W. Dean. A White House counsel, Dean betrayed the president’s trust by sharing information regarding his involvement in Watergate, as well as in the disruption of Democratic campaigns from the 1972 election. (Jeffrey et al. 12) On October 23, 1973, Nixon turned over tapes of his conversations in the Oval Office, and would later disclose more in April of 1974. The second set of tapes proved not only to further incriminate President Nixon, but to have undergone heavy editing before their release. (13) Finally, the original, unedited tapes released on August 5, 1974, provided audio evidence of Nixon ordering the Central Intelligence Agency to keep the Federal Bureau of Investigation from analyzing Watergate further. On August 9, 1974, Nixon decided to resign instead of facing his inevitable impeachment. (14) In the words of Harry P. Jeffrey, a professor of history at California State University, Fullerton, “The June 23 tape was the smoking gun, and the president’s fingerprints were all over it.”...

...commission's division of enforcement investigates possible violations of federal securities related laws and can take civil action with other law enforcement agencies when it comes to criminal cases. The market crash of 1929 and subsequent Great Depression took a toll on the public's trust in capital markets. Investors looking to go from rags to riches turned to the stock market during the roaring 20s. According to the SEC, an estimated $50 billion in new securities were offered, and half became worthless. Congress passed the Securities Act of 1933 and The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (which created the SEC) in an effort to restore confidence in the markets. Publicly traded companies were now obligated to disclose investment risks and provide full information about the state of their business. Brokers, dealers and exchanges were now legally required to put the interests of the investors first and treat them in a fair and honest manner. Congress established the SEC to enforce these laws for the sake of the investors and the future of market stability. The president of the United States appoints five commissioners who each serve five-year staggered terms. The chairman of the commission functions as the SEC's chief executive and is chosen by the president. Joseph P. Kennedy, President John F. Kennedy's father, was the first SEC chairman. No more than three of the five commissioners can...

The murders are often committed with in days, weeks, months, or years apart. Most serial killers are afraid of being caught, and they take precautions in order to continue killing . Serial killers tend to murder strangers rather than people they know. Their victims normally have something in common such as age, race, educational background, gender, occupation, or facial features. Serial killers normally have an image of the perfect victim, but will sometimes settle for anyone, if he cannot find his preference. Victims who are from broken homes, runaways, prostitutes, and they who suffer from drug and alcohol abuse normally fall prey to serial killers. Serial murders sometimes share common characteristic; however, their approach to killing might differ. According to Fahui Wang, some serial killers are organized and others are disorganized. Some serial killers are very organized, and they plan their attacks with care; they tend to be very selective in choosing their victims, and oftentimes, follow the same patterns when committing a crime. Their crimes are planned in detail, and they involve various ways in which the murders will occur. Some...

...Serial Killing How to raise a Serial Killer Brenden Brewer Serial Killing 2 What makes a serial killer want to kill? What pushes them over the edge or drives them to keep killing? Many researchers including psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists and FBI Agents, all have theories of what makes them tick. They come across these accusations by talking to actual serial killers themselves. They have come up with these theories by talking with Albert DeSalvo (The Boston Strangler), Albert Fish, Andrei Chikatilo, Bobby Joe Long, Carl Panzram, Charles Manson, Christopher Wilder, David Berkowitz (Son of Sam), Dennis Nilsen (the British Jeffrey Dahmer), Eddie Gein, Edmund Kemper(The Coed Butcher), Fritz Haarmann (The Butcher of Hannover), Henry Lee Lucas, Herbert Mullin (Santa Cruz Killer), Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, John Haigh (Acid Bath Murderer), Joseph Kallinger (the Enigmatic Cobbler), Kenneth Bianchi (Hillside Strangler), Leonard Lake, Patrick Mackay, Peter Kurten (The Vampire of Dusseldorf), Richard Ramirez (The Night Stalker), Richard Speck, and Ted Bundy, William Heirens (the Lipstick Killer). All of them were successful serial killers and caught by authorities. First off, what makes someone a serial killer? The FBI has guidelines on how to classify a serial killer from a murderer.

...Barriers to reaching self actualization. There are a number of factors which can prevent individuals from reaching self actualization. During the 1960’s, Maslow estimated that only 2% of the population ever achieve self-actualization. At this time, Maslow believed that figures such as Albert Einstein, Jane Addams, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Frederick Douglass fell into this category of being self-actualized. However, given the advances in equality and access to resources that have been made in the past 50 years, one would think that the percentage of the population who have achieved self-actualization would have increased. While there are no studies to ascertain whether this is or is not the case, there are a number of factors to be taken into consideration that act as barriers to self-actualization which I will now discuss. In the past 50 years, society in which we live has made a shift to being one that in largely concerned with materialism. As a result of this, from a young age individuals are becoming more and more materialistic and are focusing on obtaining the latest electrical gadgets, cars and footwear. The media plays a large part in this. Today even without leaving our house we are subjected to materialistic images on the television and in the newspaper, all of which subliminally affecting how we prioritise our needs. The media not only drives our desire for materialistic goods, but it also plays on our basic needs for ‘self esteem’ and ‘love and belonging...

...Pornography Addiction” by Jeffrey J. Ford, Jared A. Durtschi, and Darell L. Franklin. This remarkable publication addresses an issue about how the increasing availability of pornographic material is becoming detrimental to couples’ relationships. It notifies the reader that boundless addictions to pornography are affecting individuals in a relationship, and as a result, therapists are pursuing effective ways to solve this significant issue. In this article, it is mentioned that pornography causes personal distress and symptoms of withdrawal and tolerance, which, in turn, can adversely affect relationship and neurological functioning. Unfortunately, there are many instances where therapists encounter victims of pornography addiction, but due to its uncommon occurrence, importance is not given to these addictions. The effects of this addiction are often underestimated, and it is often ignored that these addictions are as severe and difficult as other types of addictions. Therefore, this article addresses the severity of pornographic addictions, in addition to introducing the implementation of a successful structural therapy for obsessive patterns of pornographic addiction. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the structural therapy, the authors present a case study of a couple battling a pornographic addiction. The subjects involved in this case study are a couple named John and Mary, who have been married for ten years. Unfortunately, details of the location of the case study are not mentioned...

(McLean & Elkind, 2004) Enron, which once ranked as the seventh-largest company on the Fortune 500 and ranked as the sixth-largest energy company in the world, on December 2, 2001, filed for bankruptcy protection in the biggest case of bankruptcy in the United States up to that point (Jennings, 2009, p. 285). By November 2001, the company’s stock, which once peaked at $90 US, was down to less than $1 US. It was a disaster for the thousands of employees and investors (Skilling v. United States, 2010).
