Law Homework Help

I’m working on a criminal justice multi-part question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Imagine: Your supervisor has asked you to create a training on homicide investigations for your coworkers. This training will be in two parts.

Part 1: Classification of Homicides

On one page, create a table to be a job aid comparing the different types of homicides. Your table should look something like this:

Classification of Homicides	Definition	Example
Criminal (Felonious)
Murder (First, Second, or Third Degree)
Manslaughter (Voluntary or Involuntary)
Noncriminal (Non-Felonious)
Excusable Homicide
Justifiable Homicide

Part 2: Case Analysis

In the second part of your training, you will analyze a closed homicide case in Texas. I selected a case from a program called Nexis Uni (Document Attached).

In 4 pages, summarize the Nexis Uni investigation. Your analysis should be in this order:

• Describe the circumstances surrounding the case.
• Summarize the key factors that may have been used to classify the type of death and the finding.
  • Analyze the ways that various environmental factors may have influenced the medical examination and autopsy in this investigation.
• Identify the forensic methods that were reported in the investigation and their findings.
  • This may include methods like DNA, toxicology, hair and fiber evidence, fingerprints, or any other methods which contributed to the investigation.
• Recommend one way that the investigators or forensic team could have strengthened their case based on your understanding of it.
• Cite three references.
  • One of your references will be the case record that you found from Nexis Uni.
  • Other references may be news articles that pertain to the case, and other court cases or rules that are referenced in the case.
• Clarity, writing mechanics, and formatting requirements.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:

• Determine the procedures for conducting a preliminary death investigation.
