Assignment:
Question 1. Chain of custody in criminal investigations is a vital aspect of criminal investigations. Patrol officers are the first responders to a murder scene based on 911 calls. Because contamination can affect the chain of custody so negatively, do you believe patrol officers should be required to maintain a specified number of training hours in crime scene investigation beyond the required academy and field training? Why or why not?
Question 2. Should juveniles be able to be sentenced to death or juvenile life without parole (JLWOP)? Find a recent case or situation that supports your reasoning for or against the death penalty or JLWOP and explain how it supports your decision.
Read the following three cases: Roper v Simmons <18 years, Miller v Alabama (JLWOP) and Jackson v Hobbs (JLWOP)
