Forensic entomology (FE) is the study of insects as it relates to criminal or civil investigations. In criminal cases, it is used to determine postmortem interval. In civil cases, FE may be used because of the introduction of insects into a consumer product or infestation of a structure. A blowfly is an insect commonly used to aid in the determination of postmortem interval.

Research the use of the blowfly in determining postmortem interval.

Describe the stages of the life cycle of the blowfly?

How long is its life cycle (hours/days/weeks/years)?

How does temperature and moisture affect the length of the blowfly’s life cycle?

When time of death is in question, what is the process by which a forensic entomologist would collect samples?

What other information must an FE gather at the scene during the investigation?

What does the FE attempt to accomplish after gathering samples and information and bringing the items back to the laboratory?

How does the infestation of the blowfly affect the rate of decomposition?

After certain lengths of time, other insects infest the remains of a body. Provide examples of the other insects that do this. What are the time intervals in which infestation occurs?

LASA 1

Your first LASA is a means for you to demonstrate your knowledge of applicable theories in explaining organized criminal behavior. You will use your knowledge pertaining to the history of organized crime to develop a practical approach to stop the spread of organized crime groups. You will identify and classify the different groups to determine which groups present the greatest threat to public safety. You will select a theory and apply it to explain the existence of organized crime groups.

This LASA is designed for you to demonstrate your knowledge of the organized criminal behavior theory. By assessing the threat to public safety, you will use your knowledge of this history of organized crime as the foundation to develop a practical approach towards reducing the growth of four organized crime groups in Centervale. Selecting a theory that attempts to explain organized criminal behavior will provide a scaffolding for your presentation.

Here’s What You Need to Do . . .

You will assume the role of an Organized Crime Investigator. You have worked as an investigator for 18 years and have a thorough working knowledge of various theories that attempt to explain criminal behavior (no theory explains anything entirely; all theories can be tested, refuted, etc.). Because organized criminal enterprise consistently threatens public safety, your supervisor has tasked you with the responsibility of researching and analyzing four organized crime groups in order to create an Organized Criminal Enterprise Reduction Plan for

Centervale. The goal is to create a presentation that includes an overall analysis of four organized crime groups, a comparison of the variables of each group, a selected related criminological/sociological theory that address the existence of organized crime in your area, and a potential plan towards the reduction of the threat to public safety.

Instructions: Power point should contain bullets (main points only, discussion about main points is needed in speaker notes, per instructions from Instructor)

Analyze the history of organized crime.

Research and select at least one theory that attempts to explain the criminal actions of organized crime groups selected by you. Choose at least one theory that attempts to explain organized criminal behavior.

Prepare a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation with speaker notes for a group of local, state, and federal law enforcement officers that includes an overall analysis of four organized crime groups, a comparison of the variables of each group, and a potential plan towards the reduction of the threat to public safety.

Include a cover slide and at least one slide at the end of your presentation to reference your sources formatted in APA style that links back to your in-text citations and supports your recommendations.

List the types and uses of date rape drugs

Since your graduation from Houston university, you have been working as the victims’ assistant advocate for the office of the local county prosecutor. You have a great working relationship with the prosecutor, Mary, and the remainder of the office. Normally, when you speak, the staff and prosecutor know you are speaking from a knowledge base that you have gained from personal experience, research, and reading, so they know that your comments are facts. You like to use APA format to cite your sources, but this bulleted paper does not need to be in APA format.

You have decided to speak with the prosecutor, Mary, on behalf of Maureen, the college student who was a victim of date rape. You want to convince Mary to support a change in the prosecutor’s policy of not prosecuting date rape cases when drugs or alcohol are involved. Maureen has a strict policy: when someone wants to speak with her about changing an established policy, she wants the person to submit a paper of 3-5 pages containing topic bullets outlining his or her argument for the policy change prior to meeting her. She feels this way, she is not blind-sided, and she has an opportunity to research the topic prior to the meeting.
You follow her policy and write a paper using bullets only, hoping that you can persuade Mary and the chief prosecutor to change their policy or, at a minimum, meet with you for a discussion about changing the policy. Maureen knows other young women are being attacked and that very often, date rape drugs are being used.

Mary has agreed to review your policy change letter if you write it. You write the policy change paper in which where you have the following two goals:

Educate Mary about date rape using statistics and information about date rape and date rape drugs to show her that Maureen is one of the types of victims who perpetrators take advantage of in these situations.

Explain why not prosecuting the cases is the wrong public and social policy. Of course, you are also hopeful that the victim, Maureen, also receives help in her case.

To organize your efforts before your meeting, create a detailed outline in bullet form that contains information for the following 5 topics:

List Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) and the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) reported crime statistics relating to rape and the strengths and weaknesses of each type of reporting.

Define the term date rape (or acquaintance rape-the terms are interchangeable) and how date rape (acquaintance rape) is distinguished from stranger rape, statutory rape, and spousal rape.

List the types and uses of date rape drugs.

Describe the victim-offender relationship, including the following:

How victims are viewed by perpetrators of date rape

The special problems of date rape prosecutions

How society and jurors may view date rape (blaming the victim based on the perceived precipitation, facilitation, or provocation of the victim)

What is your position on this issue, and what action do you think would impact this social policy?
