The study of criminal justices has a wide range of explanations and forms of investigation. Upon receiving this assignment I immediately took an interest in the investigation and process of home invasion robbery. When individuals are un ware of the law they group burglary and robbery as the same thing, when in fact burglary involves going to a place or having the intent to commit a crime and not actually taking something, while a robbery is defined as having the intent to commit a crime and actually following through with stealing or taking someone else’s property. Though it might be complicated to understand it is actually quite simple when you begin to see it in action.

In a sudden moment of panic the homeowner and father grabbed a knife, which was close by and began to stab continually one of the home invaders, the other two culprits ran by the time the police got there, but the individual that was stabbed was bleeding out in one of the rooms which they had entered.

Some of those common questions he asked where, what had occurred, if they where able to identify the other two subjects, if they knew them personally or recognized them in any way, & what where they doing prior and after the incident. He then proceeded to first calling the CSI, and detective officer to the scene, also the rescue for the injured culprit. He further began to
Courtroom 302 is one of the busiest courtrooms in the United States and that isn’t always the case, but the processes are still the same.

I wanted to look at the investigative and criminal procedures following the arrest of an alleged criminal and the powerful effects via testimonies and evidence (or lack thereof) it can have on a case.There is an importance of the courts in regards to crime that can’t be over looked. The primary function of the criminal justice system is to uphold the established laws, which define what we understand as deviant in this society.

This paper will provide an explanation into how differential association theory explains burglary. Burglary, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigations (F.B.I), considers a property crime a Type 1 Index Crime because of its potentially violent nature. The F.B.I. breaks burglary down into three sub classifications. This paper discusses the elements of the crime of burglary and what constitutes a structure or dwelling. It will discuss a brief history of the deviance, trends and rates, and how it correlates to the specific theory that this paper will also discuss.

Criminology is the study of crime and criminals; a branch of sociology. More accurately, it is the study of crime as a social trend, and its overall origins, its many manifestations and its impact upon society as a whole. That makes it more a form of sociology than a law enforcement tool. But the trends it studies have a huge impact on the way the police do their jobs, the way society treats its criminals, and the way a given community goes about maintaining law and order. The writer will describe and give examples of the three perspectives of viewing crimes. The perspectives that will be highlighted are the consensus view, the conflict view or the interactionist view. Each perspective maintain its own interpretation of what constitutes criminal activities and what causes people to engage in criminal behaviors (Siegel, p.12).
