Overview: For this assignment, you will investigate the death of Sheena Morris, a young woman found dead in a rental condo in Bradenton, Florida, in 2009. This assignment is based on a real case, and you will review evidence collected from the scene and observations made during the investigation.
Objective: You will apply the knowledge gained from this course to make observations and draw a “best guess” conclusion about the case. Typically, scene investigators do not make final determinations, but for this assignment, you will evaluate all available information and draw conclusions based on your findings, using knowledge you gained this semester.
Instructions:
Review Initial Case Information:
Links related to case information are available under the Week Three Assignments Folder. These links provide initial details about the case but are not the complete source of information.
Conduct additional internet research to gather more information about the case, similar to how you would investigate a death in a real-world scenario.
Investigate and Reflect:
Assume the role of a death scene investigator.
Apply all the information you have learned in class so far to this case.
Answer the Following Questions:
Question 1: Describe the Details Surrounding Sheena Morris’ Death
Who initially found Sheena and reported her death?
Describe the initial scene, the location of her body (position, clothing, etc.), and any information obtained from other agencies or involved parties upon initial investigation.
Report this information as facts, not opinions. Write this section as if you were writing an investigative report, not an editorial opinion. Assume the reader knows nothing about the initial details and be as descriptive and thorough as possible.
Question 2: Discuss the Initial Results of the Investigation
Do you agree with the initial assessment completed by investigators and/or medical personnel? Why or why not?
Support your stance with facts and information obtained from your research.
Question 3: Evaluate the Need for Additional Investigation
Do you think any additional investigation needs to be or can be completed in the Sheena Morris case? If so, what?
If not, why not?
Support your stance with facts based on the evidence obtained from your research.
Formatting and Submission:
Answer all parts of each question fully and completely.
Use full and complete sentences.
Type your reflective journal in 12-point Times New Roman font.
Submit your assignment as a Word document (.doc or .docx).
Cite all sources in APA format, including non-scholarly sources (e.g., newspaper articles).
Proofread your journal before submission. 10 points (20%) of the grade will be based on correct grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure.

Explain how to distinguish between mental illness and criminality, using examples from the case studies to illustrate the difference.
Explain how the criminal justice system has typically or “traditionally” addressed an offender who has committed a crime due to a mental health issue, using examples from the case studies to illustrate this approach.

How should the responding officer proceed?
How should this person be processed through the criminal justice system?
What are the appropriate charges, if any?
How should the judge at the arraignment hearing proceed?
In addition to using the case studies to help illustrate your responses, reference your Learning Resources to support your responses.

Several landmark Supreme Court rulings that address the way the criminal justice system interacts with juveniles were presented in the lesson this week. In your initial response, select the Supreme Court ruling that you believe had the biggest impact on the way law enforcement and courts deal with juvenile offenders. Begin by briefly explaining the premise of the case that led to the ruling, what the Supreme Court decided, and how the ruling impacts interactions with juvenile offenders.
In your response posts to classmates, evaluate the Supreme Court ruling selected by the classmate. If you agree with the classmate that it had the biggest impact, provide additional points to support selecting this case over others that have occurred. If you disagree, respectfully explain why you believe a different Supreme Court ruling had a bigger impact on the way law enforcement and courts deal with juvenile offenders.

THIS WILL BE 2 DISCUSSION POSTS!!!!
FIRST POST:
1. Discuss the law enforcement hiring process. 
2. Explain what the minimum standards are to be a police officer. Do they differ from one agency to another? 
3. Compare and contrast the two basic recruit training methodologies, the academic model used by the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and the paramilitary model used by most police academies.
SECOND POST:
In a seamless posting, please incorporate the following into your initial posting:
Discuss the differences between the three major approaches surrounding collection and analysis of data, i,e., quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods.  As well as, describe the design of scientific inquiry that may go with each method i.e., survey, narrative, phenomenological, ethnographic, grounded theory, or case study and why it would be selected. Then address which method and design you think you would prefer to use to conduct research and why.
