You need to be drawing the links yourself. The vast majority of criminal cases do<span style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"cursor: auto;\">not<\/span><span style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/span>have academic papers written specifically about them. Part of this assessment is looking at your ability to extrapolate information from the existing research literature and apply it to your specific case (i.e., make your own links to general literature regarding &#8211; for example &#8211; sentencing and jury-decision making).<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\"><strong style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: auto;\"><\/strong>Talk in specifics, not just generics. What<span style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/span><em style=\"cursor: auto;\">specific<\/em><span style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/span>elements of the case, its investigation, its prosecution, the media coverage around it, etc., are relevant to the topics that we have covered in C99FY? For example, you may discuss any amendments or modifications to typical procedures that the police or court system implemented so as to address concerns that may have arisen, and why these were appropriate given the relevant psychological research. Or you may discuss how some process or procedure went wrong in the case and interfered with goals such as the police&#8217;s interviewing techniques not contaminating a witness&#8217;s memory of the crime.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto;\"><strong style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: auto;\"><\/strong>You are to cover<span style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/span><u style=\"cursor: auto;\">two<\/u><span style=\"cursor: auto;\">&nbsp;<\/span>topics that we raise in this course in Module 2 (i.e., Weeks 5-11).
