Using the appropriate table in your textbook, find the critical value to determine whether the correlation coefficient between these two variables is significant, Move your output into a Microsoft Word document and write a formal, APA-formatted interpretation of the results, modeled on the example given in the
Criminology Research
1. Research a criminal offender of your choice (bank robber, drug dealer, mob boss,
assassin, serial killer, embezzler, etc…whoever you are most interested in). The key is to
make sure there is a lot of biographical information available on that person.
Here is a starting point for ideas if you don’t have anyone specific in mind:
http://www.biography.com/people/groups/criminals
2. Develop a paper that focuses on the relevance of specific biological, psychological and
sociological factors to your chosen offender -for example traumatic brain injury, IQ
(biology), child abuse/neglect, mental illness (psychology), lack of
resources/opportunities (sociology).
Note that the “type” of offender you choose may determine how much information you
can find about his/her life relevant to particular crime theories. For instance, biographical
information that implies sociological factors may take precedence for a drug dealer while
psychological factors may be emphasized for a serial killer (and not necessarily because
that accurately reflects the dominance of one theory over another), although certainly
there will still be biographical information to apply to the other perspectives. This
definitely depends on the individual offender though.
The goal is to correctly explain and apply the theories from the textbook and lectures to
the person’s psyche, upbringing, environment (i.e. life history). Analyze information that
supports and discounts the crime theories you are examining.
3. Cite where you get the information about the offender throughout your paper (books,
articles, websites), and also when you refer to, define, and elaborate on specific theories.
If a potential biological, psychological, or sociological theory comes up in your research
that was not explicitly discussed in the textbook or via other course content, I encourage
you to find a scholarly source and include those findings in your analysis. So to reiterate:
You can (but are not required to) bring in outside sources for theory application but they
must be SCHOLARLY. The biographical information on your offender need not be from
a scholarly source.
*The goal of this paper is NOT to summarize how other people analyze your offender’s
behavior, but to synthesize the biographical information yourself and apply it to course
material/ scholarly sources discussing particular crime theories.
4. Discuss how much support there is for each set of theoretical perspectives (the particular
biological, psychological, and sociological factors explaining your criminal’s behavior).
2
Is this individual’s crime/s explained mostly by one particular factor or set of factors, or
some combination? The point here is to make a logical argument supported by the data,
factors and theories discussed throughout your paper.
The case of Darryl Hunt.
Research the case of Darryl Hunt. Explain why he was in custody and ultimately what happened with his case. What role did DNA play in this case. What laws
should be established to assist citizens placed in this situation? Was race a factor, why or why not?
Developing Human Resources
Review and reflect on the various components of human resources (HR) planning and retention, including motivation, retention, and turnover. Based on your review, reflection, and the materials presented this week in the course, respond to the following questions:

Describe the psychological contract, and discuss how motivation is associated with employee performance.
Describe one type of turnover and how this can effectively be measured by HR.
Describe at least one driving force behind retention and how this can effectively be measured by HR.
Learning Theory
State the topic you have chosen for the training course to be completed as your Key Assignment. For this assignment, answer the following questions:
Why do you believe this is an important topic in workplace training today?
In your opinion, what skills and tools do employees need to be successful in the workplace?
Rationale and Analysis of Agency
Assume the role of a consultant who works for a consulting firm that has asked you to research this agency and file a report with the vice president of public programs and client support. This report will be reviewed by the VP as well as by the leaders of the agency for whom you are working.
Write a 6–8 page paper (including title and reference page), titled Part 1: Rationale and Analysis for the [Selected Agency], in which you separate the content into the following sections:
Introduction.
Functions of the Agency.
Rationale.
Analysis of the Selected Agency. Develop an in-depth analysis of the selected agency’s planning, organizational design, and implementation, and then provide recommendations for improvement. Research related academic sources, the agency’s website, or a relevant government website.
Analysis of Policy Implementation.
Recommendations for Planning and Implementation.
References.
Agency Selection: Select an agency either from the list below or your own choice of a public agency. Before selecting an agency ensure the agency (or department) is structured to meet the expectations of all the assignments in the course.

“The reason I could see so far is because I stood on the shoulders of giants”
Science is built on the discoveries of others. As Einstein once said, “The reason I
could see so far is because I stood on the shoulders of giants”. This information
is used to formulate a researcher’s hypothesis in the scientific method, guide
experiments, and later becomes a part of the final research article.
Part of a research project (really any project you may be involved in, regardless
of the discipline) is gathering and presenting information; this is the purpose of
the assignment.
Steps to complete this assignment.
1. Find a topic that interests you, dealing with some aspect of biology or science.
2. Research this topic, using currently published information, with at least three
sources.
3. Write the report.
Initial estimated costs is greater than the amount of funds budgeted by the sponsor
