Describe the basic concepts of criminal law.<\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n

Explain the differences between the mental state or intent of the defendant and the physical actions that are required to commit the offense.

    Differentiate between the categories of crimes.<\/b> <\/span>Differentiate between crimes against the person and crimes against property and give three examples of each of those categories of crimes.<\/span> <\/b><\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n
    Discuss the role and significance of due process. <\/span><\/b>In Lesson 1 of Module 1, we discussed the following: \u201cDue process of law in criminal law means that law enforcement and the court system followed the rules, respected the rights of the suspect or accused, and treated the defendant fairly. When a person\u2019s constitutional rights get violated or there is misconduct by the police, investigators, prosecutor, or judge, the defendant has an argument that they did not receive due process. For example, a defendant has a right to a fair trial, to see and hear the evidence against them, to present evidence in their defense, to cross-examine witnesses, and to request the judge to suppress evidence that was obtained improperly. The purpose of due process is to balance the government\u2019s goals of maintaining public order with the individual\u2019s rights.\u201d Write a scenario in which the facts include 5 violations of a defendant\u2019s due process rights and identify each of those due process violations.<\/span> <\/b><\/div>\n

    <\/b><\/div>\n
    Describe the elements of evidentiary and criminal procedures.<\/b> <\/span>Criminal procedure involves the rules that govern how criminal activity is investigated and prosecuted and how the police and the courts do their work on criminal cases. Evidentiary rules state how the evidence the prosecutor or defense want to present at court must have been obtained, authenticated, and handled before the jury gets to see or hear the evidence. Write a hypothetical criminal case in which some of the prosecution\u2019s evidence gets suppressed because of errors in the investigation or prosecution of the case and explain how these evidentiary and criminal procedures try to strike a balance between the constitutional rights of the accused and the need to protect public order. <\/span><\/div>\n
