You are a sociologist, and you notice that the juveniles in your area are starting to cause legal problems and are beginning to overload the juvenile court system. There are several theories that explain why juveniles become delinquent. Some of the sociological theories include anomie, social disorganization, drift theory, and differential association theory. Locate a sociological theory (it does not have to be one of the theories listed previously), and explain that theory with its relation to juvenile delinquency. Please note that sociological theories relate to society and external influences over a juvenile, not psychological influences (which relate to internalization within a person) or biological influences (which concern physical problems).
Once you decide on a theory, describe how it relates to juveniles by explaining what the theory believes causes the juvenile problems. Explain what you could do in your position to aid in alleviating these problems. Write an essay of 800–1,000 words (3–4 pages) in APA format. The first half should define the sociological theory, and the remainder should provide details about alleviating the problem. Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.

and you are a newly hired investigator for the Federal Defenders’ Office in the Southern District of Florida in Miami. Assistant federal defenders are attorneys who represent individuals charged with crimes in federal court. In state court, these attorneys would be called public defenders. As an investigator, you are responsible for assisting the federal defenders in interviewing the defendant and witnesses, gathering background information, and assisting as necessary as the case moves through federal court.
You have been asked by the federal defender for your office to provide a paper of 1–2 pages on your understanding of the Bill of Rights.
The first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution are commonly referred to as the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights contains the foundation of the rights provided to individuals who are accused of committing crimes. In your paper, address the following points:
Provide a brief overview of the rights contained within the Bill of Rights’ Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Amendments that apply to criminal defendants.
Choose one of the amendments above, and discuss specific details of the protections that it provides. Discuss how that amendment has affected procedures implemented in law enforcement, the courts, or correctional facilities.
Discuss either a drafted case or a case from the news where someone alleged that their constitutional right had been violated.
Finally, indicate whether you agree or disagree with the way that this right has been implemented in the criminal justice system. Identify any ideas that you may have for improving the implementation of this constitutional right. Support your statements with research and specific examples.
Provide citations to your references at the end of your paper in a Reference section.

SC250 Unit 4 Conversion Lab Assignment
Note: Please complete Part 1 and Part 2 in this document using the table and space provided.
Part 1: Data Collection & Unit Conversions
To complete this lab you must first collect data by interviewing friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, etc. You can conduct these interviews via personal visit, phone call, social media, or however you choose. Interview four subjects to complete the conversion table below.
Ask your subjects the following questions:
1. What is your height? I am 5″6
2. Approximately how much do you weigh? If you prefer not to give your weight, how much does your bag (purse, back pack, lunch bag, etc.) weigh? I weigh 174lbs
3. What is the furthest you have ever traveled from your home (in distance)? (This can be approximated using an online mapping service e.g., Google Maps™, MapQuest™.) I live in Houston Texas, the furthest I have traveled has been to Chicago,Illinois.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure to ask and then record the units of measurement your subject reports for each answer.
Next you must convert this data into different forms of measurement:
• Height in feet, inches and centimeters
• Weight in kilograms and pounds
• Distance in miles, yards, and meters
Be sure to show your work and the equations used in making these conversions. Note that not only will partial credit be given for answers given without formulas used, but partial credit will be given for any incorrect answers where the correct formula was applied. At a minimum, show the correct formula used for each type of conversion.
Report your collected data and conversions in the table on the following page.
Part 2: Systems of Measurement
After completing the computation work, answer the following questions. Include quality references in APA style to support your ideas and information presented.
1. Would a change from our current imperial system of measurement to the metric system be beneficial to the United States? Why or why not?
2. What challenges would the United States face if we did switch from our current imperial system of measurement to the metric system? Please discuss with details and supporting evidence.
3. Identify one specific job that requires frequent measuring such as a chef, architect, or other profession. Analyze how a change from the imperial system that we use now to the metric system would impact their job. Be specific. Also address these three key points:
a. How would people in this job need to communicate differently?
b. In what ways would business equipment or tools be impacted?
c. How would previous work-related materials be impacted? In what other ways would the business have to change?

Jurisdiction is the foundation of every case. A case must be filed in a court that possesses jurisdiction. You are currently working in the District Attorney’s Office as an investigator, and you have been asked to investigate the court that has jurisdiction over a case that involves the robbery of a local bank and two murders. The district attorney has asked you to research the questions to help her make a decision.
Jurisdiction is very important within the court system because it is what decides whether the state or federal government has the authority to prosecute the case. In a 1–2-page paper, research the following:
What is jurisdiction, and how does it impact state and federal courts?
What is concurrent jurisdiction?
Provide 1 example of a crime for which the state court has jurisdiction and another example of a federal crime for which the federal court has jurisdiction. Why does each respective court have jurisdiction for the crimes that you have listed?
Provide 1 example of a crime for which concurrent jurisdiction exists, that is, the criminal act could be prosecuted in state or federal court or both. In the example that you provided, in which court do you think that the case should be prosecuted? Why?
Next, locate the Web site for your state’s Supreme Court (if you reside in the state of New York, your state refers to its highest appellate court as the Court of Appeals). Discuss the make-up of your state’s highest appellate court.

OBJECTIVES
Assignment Details
Assume that you are working at a local criminal defense law firm. The managing partner has asked you to research the following issues. The attorney anticipates that these issues could arise in a criminal case that your firm has accepted.
State and local governments must obey the Bill of Rights. Write a 2–3-page paper that considers the following:
During a state criminal prosecution, a defendant is guaranteed many rights through the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. Almost all of the Bill of Rights have been incorporated through the 14th Amendment and apply to the states. Select 1 of these constitutional guarantees that you believe is the most important, and provide an example of how this constitutional right of a state defendant might be violated during the criminal process.
Could this violation form the basis of an appeal if the defendant is convicted?
To which court can the verdict from a state trial be appealed (use your state as an example)?
To which court can the verdict from a federal trial court be appealed (again, use your specific federal courts as an example)?
Is there an intermediate court of appeals in your state or federal system?
What is the court of last resort (highest appeals court) in your state and in the federal courts? Does this court have original jurisdiction over any criminal actions?

In this midterm paper, you are required to submit a 2-page (double-spaced, 12-point font, Times New Roman) short essay. In this short essay, you will first introduce an ethical dilemma faced by a criminal justice professional (this dilemma could be either experienced by yourself or discussed in the media in the past two years). You will then critically analyze the situation or case using at least one of the philosophical approaches learned in this course. Your main task for this assignment is to (1) introduce the reader to the philosophical approach by citing the textbook and/or lecture, and (2) apply the theory to the real-life example of your choice and show the reader why it was an ethical dilemma according to that theory. APA guidelines should be strictly followed.
