Please write this paper, it will cover how truly unequal courts like the supreme court can be when it comes to it’s ruling and verdicts. When it either tries someone of a lower social and polictical class for a crime and gets harsh punishment.  Then does the same to a wealthy person and a higher politcal class but they get very lientient punishments if any.  This paper should ask that question of why this happens, describe why it is such an issue and give a solution of how it can be fixed in the Criminal justice system

tudents will write a scholarly paper that is a minimum of 6-8 pages in length (6-8 pages excluding the title page, abstract, and reference page). Format is to follow the most recent edition of the Manual of the American Psychological Association.
References may be found in the APUS library or search engines such as Google Scholar.  The paper must include at least five, peer-reviewed sources that cover your chosen topic from the list below. Keep in mind that 5 is the minimum.  A good quality research paper usually contains in excess of 10.
Sources should be less than 10 years old and if using statistical
data, it should be less than 5 years old.  Do not forget to use in text
citations to credit your sources.
Note
that references used for your research need to be
peer-reviewed/scholarly journals. These journals typically have the
following characteristics:
1. articles are reviewed by a panel of experts before they are accepted for publication;
2. articles are written by a scholar or specialist in the field;
3. articles report on original research or experimentation;
4. are often published by professional associations;
5. utilize terminology associated with the discipline.
Research Paper Topics
Choose one of the following topics relevant to evidence and procedures:  
1.  Documentation, collection, and preservation of DNA evidence
2.  The pros and cons of relying on modus operandi and signature in a serial homicide investigation.
3.
Discuss bitemark examinations, document examinations, and microscopic
hair examinations and exactly why each is now considered “junk science”.
4. 
Discuss the impact of visual aids in the courtroom and how they assist
in explaining forensic science to the jury. Provide examples drawing
from specific forensic disciplines such as fingerprint analysis or
ballistics.
5. 
Discuss the different methods of documenting and searching a crime
scene. What are the pros and cons of relying on 3D imaging systems?

1.     Briefly introduce the chosen topic and corresponding legal issues.
2.     Using electronic research, locate a minimum of three research sources to analyze the key legal issues of the chosen topic. At least one source must be a relevant court decision (if possible, find a US Supreme Court decision).
3.     Provide an argument in favor of one of the issues and an argument against the issue. Be sure to use your research sources in your arguments. Conclude as to which you feel is the stronger argument.

5.     In one paragraph, discuss the sources you used for this assignment. What forms of research sources did you use? (Scholarly articles? Magazine articles? Where did you locate the case decision? Then explain how these are reliable forms of research). 
6.     Present your findings in 2 double-spaced pages.

Below is the research topic for the term
paper:
The Use of Force continuum method has historically been employed
by law enforcement 
in the United States. Critics have charged that law
enforcement officers tend to resort to 
the most forcible methods when
confronted with suspects, particularly those from 
minority groups.
However, Use-of-Force supporters countered that officers are on the
front line fighting against crime and should avail the necessary
amount of force to protect 
themselves and the community. Various use-of-force continuum models have been 
created to provide guidance about the
circumstances and factors surrounding the Use of Force. Officers must be
aware of their own department’s policy and fully understand what 
is
allowed and prohibited during a use-of-force encounter. Some
practitioners have 
expressed concerns that the Use of Force policy may cause
officers to hesitate in their actions, thereby placing them at risk of
injury. 
Write a ten (10) page research paper on
your position in relation to the proper application of the Use of Force
Continuum in law enforcement. Cite at least five scholarly articles
found in Criminal Justice databases. The format of the final paper is
discussed in the term paper section below. The term paper should follow
the below format:
Introduction – Introduce the topic
Literature Review – Present relevant literature
Discussion – Must be factually based on your literature review
Conclusion – What you have concluded based on the facts you have reviewed.
