Those who post early in a given week and more often within a given topic will be scored higher than those who wait until the end of a given week. When assigning grades for the discussion, I consider the quantity of posts, quality of posts, the timing of posts, follow-up posts where appropriate, and whether you read other posts. It is important for you to read the majority of the other posts in the discussion, and for you to respond to follow up questions suggested by me. See the grading rubric below. Journals You will write six weekly journals discussing the readings and capstone cases. You will submit them through the course dropbox. You will find a more detailed description of these assignments in the course Content. Papers: You will write four papers in this class. Week 3: Analysis of a bill Week 5: Case brief Week 7: Trial summary (or a narrative describing an interview of a criminal justice professional) Week 8: Analysis of a movie.

What abstract characteristics should this conduct have to justify the criminalization of the behavior?? 4. Locate information on the Lawrence v Texas, a Supreme Court case decided a few years ago. What do you think of this decision? Should the government be involved in criminalizing private morals? Do you agree with the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Constitutional issues?
