Local CJ Experience

This lesson focused on our local criminal justice agencies as well as how the PA State Police can often serve as a local police department as well as the state.

For this assignment, I would like you to in 500 words or more, look back on a local (or a state CJ agency that acted as or aided the local CJ agency) that you have had a personal experience with.  Provided with what you learned so far in this course, how does the agency excel at the service they provide?  What are its challenges? What did you think about the agency before taking this course and what do you think know about the agency since you have had a chance to learn about concepts such as: history of CJ agencies,  communication, motivation of personnel, etc.

If you quote or take any information outside your lived experience and self reflection, please cite accordingly in APA format with in text citations and references.

Criminal Justice

watch video: https://youtu.be/sdWYLu78j0Q

Discuss the video among yourselves. What kind of relationship did Lake and Ng have? What if the police officer had let them go during that botched robbery?  What is your opinion on Ng avoiding trial for so long? How does their background affect how the crime was prosecuted?  Should anyone else have been prosecuted during the investigation?  How do you think the trial would have turned out if Lake was still alive and been able to be prosecuted as well?

Given the rate and pace of technological change and current events such as the pandemic, civil unrest, white supremacy and the security of our elections, are these Freedoms still applicable today? Do they serve their initial purpose?
Are any of the Freedoms outdated, obsolete or no longer applicable? Can you think of an example where on Freedom is at odds with public good, or betterment of society?

Case Study Two

Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Citations should be formatted according to APA style, 3 references

Read case Study below and answer A-E

Case Study Two: Sam Stevens lives in an apartment building where he has been working on his new invention, a machine that plays the sound of a barking dog to scare off potential intruders. A national chain store that sells safety products wants to sell Sams product exclusively. Although Sam and the chain store never signed a contract, Sam verbally told a store manager several months ago that he would ship 1,000 units.
Sam comes home from work one day and finds two letters in his mailbox. One is an eviction notice from his landlord, Quinn, telling him he has to be out of the apartment in 30 days because his barking device has been bothering the other tenants. It also states that Sam was not allowed to conduct a business from his apartment. Sam is angry because he specifically told Quinn that he was working on a new invention, and Quinn had wished him luck. The second letter is from the chain store, demanding that Sam deliver the promised 1,000 units immediately.

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
A. Analyze the elements of this case to determine whether a valid contract exists between Sam and the chain store. Support your response by identifying the elements of a valid contract in your analysis.
B. Assume there is not a valid contract between Sam and the chain store. Analyze the elements of a quasi-contract and a promissory estoppel to determine whether the chain store would prevail on a claim of either. Why or why not? Include support for your analysis.
C. Identify the rights and obligations of both the landlord and tenant under a standard residential lease agreement.
D. Based upon those rights and obligations, does Sams landlord have grounds to evict? Why or why not?
E. Further, what defenses might Sam raise to an eviction action? Support your response.
