Criminal Cases and Due Process

The volume of criminal cases being tried across the United States, coupled with many agencies being understaffed, makes it challenging for agencies to stay current on legal issues. Recognizing the importance of staying current on legal issues, in this activity you will practice your research skills, while refining your presentation skills, by providing a summary of selected legal cases most associated with the criminal justice system.

Your task is to prepare a presentation for delivery to local criminal justice stakeholders. This presentation will be a minimum of 22 slides.

Complete the following for this assignment:

Use this Web site to locate 1 case involving each of the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, and 14th Amendments. You will locate a different case for each amendment, for a total of 5 different cases. The cases should have occurred in the last 10 years.
Create an introductory slide for your PowerPoint presentation to provide the reader your project’s purpose and scope.
Create 4 slides for each case example for each case that you have chosen:
Slide 1 will provide the introduction (or basis) for the case
Slide 2 will provide the summary of the case
Slide 3 will provide the key legal question(s)
Slide 4 will provide the decision
Create a conclusion slide for your PowerPoint presentation that wraps up the entire presentation and provides the reader with your thoughts on your findings about the state of law regarding these amendments.
Be sure to cite all references in APA format.

History of Global Health Technologies

Prompt: Read selected excerpts from Isaac Williams Brewer’s Personal Hygiene in Tropical and Semi-tropical Countries (1908) [Introduction, p. 1-4; Clothing, p. 11-14; Water, p. 15-21; Dwellings, p. 28-32; Disposal of Excreta, p. 34-44; Prevention of Malaria, p. 51-59]. In what ways do the technologies mentioned in these excerpts reflect new understandings of health, illness, and place in the early twentieth century? In what ways do they reflect older understandings? How can we understand changes in medical ideas and the historical context of global health by analyzing these technologies? This is not a research paper; you need only use the source, course readings, and course lectures. On the bottom, I have uploaded the reading article that has all those specific page numbers listed in the prompt. Please read them all. The second upload are the detailed lecture notes the Professor gave about the “older understandings of health, ilness, and place.” Which is the second question to the prompt. I have Highlighted important key areas you should look at, and feel free to pull the information directly from the notes and put it in the paper.
