Please answer the following short-answer questions, which are based on the lectures in class. If you are using a case,
example, or hypothetical discussed in class, please cite to it. If there is an analogous case or example and you do not cite
to the correct one, your answer will not receive full credit. While there is no word limit to any answer or overall, I would
expect each answer to constitute 1-3 paragraphs. Usage of any artificial intelligence tools is strictly forbidden; you may,
however, consult with other students in the class. You should show your work and explain your reasoning; merely
conclusive answers will not receive credit.

Title: Legal Analysis of Discrimination Cases under the ADA and Civil Rights Act
David
and Amy are brother-and-sister and live in Boca Raton, Florida. David
is a writer, working on his first book. He had been employed as a police
officer in Delray Beach, but left the force after being shot in the
line of duty. As a result of the shooting, David is paralyzed from his
waist down, and now uses a wheelchair.
Amy is an event planner, having earned her degree in Event
Management from Lynn University. She worked for Boca’s Best Party
Planners, Inc. for two years, but lost her job when the company went
bankrupt. She has an interview set up on Friday with Big Haas Country
Club for their open event manager position.
On Friday, David and Amy go their ways – David heads to the new
Italian Yummy restaurant to meet a friend, Amy goes to her interview.
When David arrives at Italian Yummy, he is shocked to see that
all of the tables are high, bar-top tables. He asks Jerry Jerk, the
manager, if there is a low table that he can use, accounting for his
wheelchair. “Sorry, pal,” Jerk responds, “we feel badly about it, but we
just don’t have any low tables. Don’t get many guys in wheelchairs in
here, ya know, so we don’t really bother.”
Amy’s interview actually goes worse than Adam’s attempt at lunch.
Amy thinks that her interview with Barry Bigot is going quite well, as
she determines that she is clearly well-qualified for this job.
Suddenly, Bigot looks up from Amy’s resume and says, “Oh, wait, you went
to Solomon Schechter Hebrew High School. You’re Jewish? Sorry, but we
don’t hire any Jews. Thanks for coming in.”
David and Amy each file lawsuits – David against Italian Yummy, Amy against Big Haas Country Club.
Write a report giving the following for each of these cases:
1) a complete overview of Title III of the ADA and Title VII of
the Civil Rights Act, specifying each of the legal elements of
discrimination to the facts of the case at hand;
2) offer your opinion as to how each case should be decided AND why.
The report shall be submitted in 12-point typed, double-spaced
form. A report that does not follow this form will be deducted per the
grading rubric. 1000 word minimum. -
“Managing Prison Environments: Insights from Studies on Latino Prison Gangs, Rape Lore, and Coping Strategies”
First, after reading and reflecting upon the article, “Texas Latino Prison Gangs,” what aspect of this study do you think would be the most helpful for prison and jail administrators? What is it, in particular, about this aspect of the study that you believe administrators could use in order to effectively manage their facilities? Be sure to elaborate; it must be evident that you have carefully reflected upon this article. Next, in the study, “Rape Lore in Correctional Settings,” Worley et al. focused on inmates’ awareness of prison rape. Based upon what all three of the articles you read this week, in your opinion, is prison rape a rare occurrence, or does it happen frequently? Please point to various aspects of the articles to bolster your argument. And, as you know from reading the article, “Adapting to Prison Life,” male inmates were asked to answer questions about how they coped with the pressures of incarceration. If female inmates were asked the same set of questions, do you feel the responses would be similar or different? Fully elaborate and explain your reasoning. Also, provide another possible way (not identified in the paper) of how inmates might cope with stressful prison environments. Finally, in your opinion, will prison gangs operate at more, less, or about the same frequency, as they do today, twenty years from now? Explain your reasoning.

“Contemporary Investigative Methods: An Analysis of Theory, Research, and Practice in Criminal Investigations”
The final research paper will require each student to demonstrate their knowledge and assimilation of investigative processes and crime scene processing theory, research,and practice,as presented in the readings and lectures. Students are expected to write one concise and succinct research paper of 10 double-spaced pages of text without going over the 12-page maximum. (Note:A cover page,abstract page,and a work cited page do not count towards the 10-page minimum paper length requirement). The paper shall be written inAPA format in and shall not have been previously submitted to any other instructor for any other course. These papers should synthesize major ideas and themes outlined in the readings and lectures and reflect criticalanalysis. For this project, students willchoose a contemporary investigatory method used by police and/or forensic scientists, using only articles from academic journals, official government publications, and reputable trade publications, to discuss in detail the entire criminal investigative process used in the method chosen,ensuring to incorporate major ideas and themes outlined in the readings and lectures. EXAMPLE: A student may wish to write their paper on the use of mitochondrial DNA in sexual Generated: 4/17/2024 Page 4 of 9 assault investigations, or perhaps witness/victim racial bias in viewing physical suspect line-ups. In addition, historical papers, such as the OJ Simpson murder case, or a history of American prisons will not be accepted. Final research paper topics are required to address a contemporary area if criminal investigations. The paper should be prepared on a Microsoft Word document and emailed to the instructor, via the Canvas system,.

“Corporate Decision Making: A Case Study Analysis of Ethical and Legal Implications” Title: “Lessons in Business Management: A Case Study Analysis and Recommended Practices”
Course objectives:
All COs are relevant and apply to this Assignment in the choice and analysis of your selected case study. Keep in mind the following COs in particular in the preparation of the project:
CO-1 Assess the legal environment of business.
CO-2 Explain how ethical frameworks shape business decisions.
CO-10 Assess laws applying to antitrust and consumer protection.
Assignment Prompt:
Review the following case studies involving companies’ decision making (hyperlinked to source information).
Choose ONE of these case studies* as the subject of your presentation.
M F Global (2013)
Hooker Chemical and Plastics Corporation and its Successors — Love Canal Disaster (1953)
*Start with the research source provided. You must conduct more research about the company, its decision, the law, ethics, and issues in the case study for your presentation. Initial material is provided to you to get you started. Focus on the specific pivotal decision the company made.
When you have selected your case study, research and cover the points listed in the instructions below in a well-developed PowerPoint presentation. These instructions provide guidance about how to organize the slides and the minimum number of slides for the required content. Key points are to be presented on slides with explanation and analysis expanded in your Speaker’s Notes narrative.
INSTRUCTIONS: (Also see Grading Rubric.)
This 12-slide outline is the minimum; you might wish to use additional slides for some segments of the presentation for a complete presentation.
The outline identifies how to organize the content areas of your presentation. You will see that the Grading Rubric follows this outline.
Each slide should display key bullet points supplemented with Speaker’s Notes in the speaker’s note space below the slide or as an audio or video narrative.
Slide 1 – Title Slide (title of topic/presentation, your name, course, prof., date)
Slide 2 – Agenda slide – Simple outline of the presentation so your audience knows the topic scope and where you are going.
Slide 3 – at least one slide – (An introduction of the company) Introduce and briefly describe the company, the nature of its business and corporate business environment. Do not spend a lot of time on the history of the company as a business, but do describe necessary history sufficiently to create meaningful context. For some of these case studies, history will have significance.
Slides 4 & 5 – at least 2 slides: explain facts of the case study; identify the decisional dilemma and succinctly state the 2 choices the company had at the critical point in time; the choice the company made and why; the choice the company should and could have made instead (and why). Tip: There is always a choice. Refer to definition of dilemma:
A problem in the decision-making process between two possible but undesirable options from an ethical perspective.
Slides 6 & 7 – at least 2 slides: Identify and explain the statutes and regulations implicated and violated – or potentially violated – by the company’s conduct. Be specific, and explain:
• the purpose of the law; and • how the company’s conduct violated or might have violated the law, and the consequences of violation
Slides 8 & 9 – at least 2 slides: Explain the ethical question/failure of the company’s decision, apart from violation of law. Present an analysis and explanation of an ethical course of conduct and reasoning that the company leadership could have followed to reach the better decision you identified above, to both follow the law and meet the higher goals of the company. Include in your explanation the definition and application of at least one specific ethical framework we have studied that would have led to the better decision. (Examples: ethics of care, deontology, utilitarianism, virtue ethics, etc.) It is NOT sufficient to simply say “exercise CSR” or “do the right thing.”) Analytically apply a specific framework.
Slide 10 – at least 1 slide: Recommend a take-away lesson for the business management of ANY company (not just this company in this situation) that is a lesson to be learned from this case study. What is a recommended business practice? Do not overly generalize. Be specific. Slide 11 – at least 1 slide: Conclusion – your wrap-up—3 bullet points summation of case study relevancy; law/ethics; recommendation. As with other slides, expand narrative in Speaker’s Notes.
Slide 12 – at least 1 slide: References slide – References are listed on the Slide, not only in the Speaker’s Notes Minimum five (5) credible sources that support your material in the PPT. These should also be cited in the PPT Speaker’s Notes to support your narrative, in APA short form. If you are giving an audio presentation, you can include a source by saying something like, “An article by ___________ in ____________ explains how the ethic of care supports successful management decisions.” Also include where necessary on your slides.
AVOID THESE SOURCES: Dictionaries, encyclopedias — including Investopedia in general. Wikis, and the like, and Internet generic quick-answer websites are not acceptable to populate your Reference list. AI-generated material as source and narrative is not acceptable. Use your text, required readings, peer-reviewed articles, statutory and case law, and other credible sources for your research authority.
If you were giving this presentation to your CEO, s/he might well say, “You know, I can read a dictionary. I can chat with a robot myself. I need to hear what the experts and the law are saying about this. And I want to hear your own original analysis. It’s what I’m paying you for.” If you were the CEO what would be your expectation?
APA 7th Edition formatting required for References citations, but a “hanging indent” is not required and citations can be single spaced. Refer to the help sources provided -

The Investigation of the Smith Family Murder Case The Investigation of the Smith Family Murder Case On January 10, 2021, the Smith family was found brutally murdered in their home in a quiet suburban neighborhood. The family consisted of John Smith (
During this assignment, you will locate a current criminal case from a news source that is currently being investigated by a local, state, or federal law enforcement agency. During the first part of the assignment (the theory portion), you are to explain the case in your first paragraph being sure to cite the news source you took the case from at the end of paragraph 1. Proceed by giving details of how the investigating law enforcement agency should proceed with interviews for the crime you’ve selected. Specifically, explain how the investigating PD should go about conducting interviews of victims, witnesses, and suspects. Besides discussing who should be interviewed, be sure to articulate where, when, why, and what some of the questions you feel will be necessary during each interview. Hint: using headings to help explain each interview category (I.e. victim, witness, suspect) the investigating PD will engage in makes it easier to stay organized in your explanation of how the case should be investigated. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU CHOOSE A CURRENT CRIMINAL CASE THAT HAS A VICTIM! You should not choose a homicide case for this assignment because the investigating agency cannot interview a dead person. This theory portion of your assignment should be approximately two-three (2-3) full pages and must also have a cover page and Reference page. The second part of the assignment is the practical part (the authentic portion) where you become the actual investigator working for the investigating agency conducting the criminal investigation. During this authentic portion of your assignment, you will complete the following reports that will be included for submission (along with the theory portion): 1. A Victim Statement for each victim interviewed (Hint: you are wise to locate a case with only 1 victim). 2. A Witness Statement for each witness interviewed (MUST interview at least 2 witnesses) – they can be anyone you want as long as these made up witnesses would realistically be interviewed in the news case you selected. 3. Suspect/defendant statements – you’ll need a statement for each defendant you arrested (Hint: you are wise to locate a case with only 1 suspect). List all sources of research at the end of your paper on your Reference Page using APA guidelines for listing authors, dates, titles, and publishing information. Use the Purdue Owl website for help citing classroom PP slides. The following is an example: Saferstein, R. (2013). Forensic Science: From the Crime Scene to the Lab. Pearson Prentice Hall, Upper Saddle River, NJ. General Expectations: This theory portion of the assignment is to be a minimum of 2-3 pages in length, not including your Cover Page, Reference Page, Reports, and Statements. You should use a 12 point “Times” font, printed on 8 ½ X 11’’ paper, double-spaced, with a one inch margins all the way around. The assignment is to abide by all APA rules regarding proper citation, documentation, and formatting. The assignment will constitute fifteen percent (15 %) of your course grade.
