Victim impact statement

Posted on May 23, 2023 | by

According to the National Center for Victims of Crime (2012), a victim impact statement, now allowed in all 50 states, provides victims with a way to explain how a crime has impacted their lives. This information can then be used by a judge “to help determine an offender’s sentence” or by a parole board to determine parole. In this Discussion, you will locate and analyze a victim impact statement.

To prepare:
Search the Internet and locate a victim impact statement (video or written).
Reflect on the background and relevant facts of the case for which the statement was prepared.

In a minimum of 300 words, briefly describe the background of the case, including:

Criminals involved
Victims involved
Crime committed
Apparent impacts
Other relevant information to provide context

For this week’s assignment, you will examine the global criminal perspective of two types of transnational crimes. Chapter 2 in the text discusses domestic crime, transnational crime, and justice.

Before you begin, choose two types of transnational crime from the list below:

Cybercrime
Drug trafficking
Human trafficking
Money laundering
Maritime piracy
Theft of art and cultural objects
Trade in human body parts
Terrorism
relative to the chosen two types of transnational crime

Describe what international policing and investigative agencies are doing well.
Identify areas in need of improvements.
Discuss what we as individuals can do to help with transnational crime rates.
Identify some warning signs that these transnational crimes may be taking place around us.
Evaluate what the United States has done to improve transnational crime rates.
Identify which national agencies are involved in the United States’ attempt to manage transnational crime.
Discuss each agency’s role in these efforts.

Violent crimes in the US

Posted on May 23, 2023 | by

These are common statements heard daily, but what are the facts? Crime can be broken down and measured in many different ways. There are many different types of crime, including property crimes, violent crimes, white-collar crimes, and cybercrimes. The FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program identifies violent crime as four offenses: murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. The number (incidences) of these four crimes has increased in the past decade due to population changes; however, in order to account for changing populations, the UCR uses a prevalence rate of crimes per 100,000 people. This allows for consistent reporting.

In this Discussion, you estimate the number of violent crimes that have occurred in a U.S. city, county, state, or region in the past year. You then compare your estimates to the actual numbers from the UCR.
