Research Paper:

Each student will be required to write a Research Paper. The paper should address a current major topic in criminal investigations. The topic must be narrowly focused (examples include Death Investigation, Robbery, Computer Crimes, Sex Crime, Crimes against Children, Arson, Terrorism investigations, Forensic and/or Crime Scene Investigation, etc). You may choose your own topic; however, the topic must be approved by the instructor.

The research and analysis of the topic must be well presented. The paper must cover:

• historical perspective, and
• societal and law enforcement problems caused by the topic of your choice,
• constitutional issues concerning the topic
• Current Statistics concerning the crime, (found in the UCR Index, NCVS, etc.
• Past national policy and its affects, and, current, or suggested national policy to combat the crime of your topic.
• types of Modus Operandi that might be associated with the crime,
• current investigative techniques
• methods that might be used to obtain information related to the offense,
• best techniques used to document the crime scene
• collection and preservation techniques
• what type information can be concluded from forensic laboratory examination(s) of the evidence
• any unique circumstances or problems relating to this type offense.
