Answer preview

Millhone is an effective private investigator, and this is demonstrated throughout the book as she works to find the person who killed Lawrence. For instance, when she finds out that Libby Glass, Lawrence’s former secretary, was also killed with the same poison that killed Lawrence, she intensifies her investigation to find out if there is a connection between the two cases “Grafton, pg. 5”. Additionally, she looks into all the people she suspects might have information that may help her find the person(s) who killed Lawrence. For example, she visits Gwen, his ex-wife “Grafton, pg.11”, Charlie Scorsoni, his former partner “Grafton, pg.9”, the pharmacy where Laurence used to get his medication “Grafton, pg.17” and more visits to the people she suspected. This helped unearth the missed and disregarded information during the trial case for the murder.

    • J.C., Inc., had a franchise agreement with McDonald’s Corporation to operate McDonald’s restaurants in Lancaster, Ohio. The agreement required J.C. to make monthly payments to McDonald’s of certain percentages of the gross sales. If any payment was more than 30 days late, McDonald’s had the right to terminate the franchise. The agreement also stated that even if McDonald’s accepted a late payment, that would not “constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach.”

J.C Inc is lucky to have acquired a franchise of one of the largest fast-food chains with an established brand name. To continue enjoying the competitive advantage of McDonald’s corporation, J.C should ensure that they have the knowledge and understanding of McDonald’s daily business operations and policies. The agreement was only terminated if J.C Inc had made the payments after being pardoned. Also, the company did not have a legal mandate to sue McDonald’s as JC Inc. did not act in utmost good faith. Both organizations, McDonald’s and J.C Inc, are responsible for observing the requirements for a healthy business relationship to exist between them (Franchising Laws, n.d.).

J.C. missed the deadline. McDonald’s demanded that J.C. vacate the restaurants, but J.C. refused. McDonald’s files a lawsuit alleging that J.C. had violated the franchise agreement. J.C claimed that McDonald’s had breached the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Which party should prevail and why?.

Grading Criteria

Answer preview

specific findings have been summarized. Even though McDonald’s should prevail in this case, the company also imposed several ethical issues (DeTienne, Ellertson, Ingerson, & Dudley, 2021). First, McDonald’s is aware of the worsening economic condition affecting businesses, hence interfering with many franchise agreements. Noting that the cost of producing fast foods and operating such businesses has increased in the past few years, and businesses are not making as much money as they used to make years before. That indicates that McDonald’s is selling a false vision to J.C that does not reflect the realities of the independent operators. Therefore, McDonald’s is supposed to adhere to the economic conditions considering J.C pays his gross sales percentages even if it is late.

Answer preview

PTSD is predominantly triggered by trauma. According to Joelle Rabow Maletis, psychological trauma comes from experiencing or witnessing a life-threatening adverse event or one that poses substantial potential for injury to self or others. Additionally, these experiences are generally accompanied by intense horror, helplessness, and fear, leading to PTSD (TED-Ed, 2018). This is similar to what Mr. Brewer dealt with after he was involved in a critical incident that resulted in him shooting an unarmed African American who later died in hospital. According to Mr. Brewer, he was numb and shocked minutes after the incident as he sat in a police car. He constantly replayed the incident in his mind, often thinking that what had happened was not real. One of the impacts of constantly experiencing traumatic events in law enforcement is the development of vicarious trauma (TED-Ed, 2016). Amy Cunningham states that this form of trauma emanates from repetitive empathetic engagement with trauma

One of the defining moments of truth I have experienced in our country’s policing is when I encountered a police officer responding to an assault on a middle-aged woman in my apartment. The officer was swift to respond to the 9-1-1 call I made and was compassionate in handling the victim and ensuring she received medical attention, for she was injured. Later, when the matter was settled and the culprit responsible for the assault arrested, the officer called to check on the victim, indicating how compassionate and caring he was towards offering his services to the community. Even though the officer was only responsible for responding to the call and assessing the situation, he still reached out later to confirm if everything was going well. Simple acts of kindness make one trust and have faith in the police system (Cronkhite, 2013).

Submit your assignment.

Requirements: 700-875

Answer preview

Before studying criminal justice, I used to have different perceptions about criminal justice due to the many activities involved in solving a case. Initially, I thought the legal system was biased and only wealthy people were treated fairly. After studying criminal justice, I learned more about the justice system and realized that it serves all citizens regardless of their financial status.  Before studying criminal justice, I also thought the legal system was also complicated and challenging to comprehend. After gaining the proper knowledge of criminal justice, I realized that the legal system has different departments with different roles, and they often collaborate to achieve the goals of the legal system. Everyone must perform their duties effectively to improve the general performance of the legal system. Before studying the criminal justice system, I used to believe that justice is not always served. After gaining a better understanding of criminal justice, I came to realize that the main objective of criminal justice is to ensure that justice is served accordingly. Some of the reasons that also make other people think that justice is not served are the fact that many pending cases are not followed until the last

Typologies of sexual offenders.

/in /by

There are many different types of sexual assaults and many different types of offenders. Although they are different, they can be classified in order to create a common language between the criminal justice field and the mental health field. This in turn will enable more accurate research, predict future offenses, and assist in the prosecution and rehabilitation of the offenders.

In this Assignment, you compare different typologies of sexual offenders to determine the differences in motivation, expression of aggression, and underlining personality structure. You also determine the best way to interview each typology of sexual offenders.

In a 3- to 5- page paper:

Compare the two typologies of sexual offenders you selected by explaining the following:

  • The motivational differences between the two typologies
  • The expression of aggression in the two typologies
  • The differences in the underlining personality structure of the two typologies

Based on your comparison, explain strategies you would recommend when interviewing the two types of offenders.

Requirements: 3 pages

Answer preview

Interviewing sexual offenders is a delicate and complicated process that qualified specialists should only carry out under proper precautions. Interviews are sometimes conducted with sexual offenders to collect data that can guide therapy and risk assessment and eventually lower the chance of sexual offenses in the future. When conducting interviews with opportunistic sexual offenders, it is important to ask the offender what makes them decide to commit sexual assault on their victims (Chopin & Beauregard, 2020). On the other hand, when interviewing fixated sexual offenders, it is important to ask the offender questions to understand their history of attraction to targets and any possible psychiatric conditions that may be influencing their behavior (James & Proulx, 2020). When conducting the interview, the interviewer should create a bond with the sexual offender to make them feel free to express themselves. It is also vital for the interviewer to ask open-ended questions to enable the sexual offenders to provide detailed responses to understand their motivation and underlying personality structure better.
