Do my criminal justice homework

Criminal Justice Paper?

In preparation for this assignment, please view the Jurisville scenarios and resulting simulations from Weeks 1 through 3 in Unit 1: Crime and Policing.

In the scenarios and resulting simulations, Dr. Carla O’Donnell discusses theories of victimization. Sgt. Barry Evans identifies criminals and their past convictions, and relates the applicable federal, state, and / or local agencies that would take jurisdiction over the crimes committed. Sgt. Evans also illustrates how adopting select measures within the community can help to make certain locations safer, thwart potential offenders, and lessen the likelihood of people becoming crime victims.

Use the Internet to research three (3) real-life incidents from the past five (5) years that fall under the following topics:

· Theories of victimization and corresponding examples

· Criminal activity

· Crime that occurred within your community

1. Summarize one (1) theory of victimization that Dr. Carla O’Donnell discussed within the related scenario. Support the chosen theory with one (1) real-world example.

3. Describe a recent incidence of crime that occurred within your community. Suggest how implementing at least one (1) of the changes that Sgt. Evans had discussed and another change of your recommendation would have changed the circumstances of the crime that you selected.
