  • An Exploratory Analysis of Criminal Justice Education and the Shift to Consumerism
    SELL, SELL, SELL, AN EXPLORATORY ANALYSIS OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE EDUCATION AND THE SHIFT TO CONSUMERISM Logan J. Lanson A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE May 2020 Committee: Melissa W. Burek, Advisor John C. Liederbach Catherine M. Pape © 2020 Logan J. Lanson All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Melissa W. Burek, Advisor The undergraduate major of criminal justice may be succumbing to effects of student- consumer attitudes, especially considering that criminal justice as an academic study does not currently benefit from the rigors associated with accreditation. Many students are selecting universities with lower costs of attendance and in locations of the country with lower costs of living with the rising costs of higher education. Criminal justice education may also be associated with the CSI-effect. Popular entertainment such as television shows like CSI has shown aspects of the criminal justice system to have more dramatized expectations from the general public. With an expected undergraduate enrollment drop-off by the middle of this decade, it may be likely that criminal justice education is already shifting its curriculum to mirror false expectations of the criminal justice system by way of the CSI-effect. Criminal justice as an academic study can appeal to consumeristic students with consumer-style courses. Although there is some previous research on criminal justice education, studies on the existence of consumerism in criminal justice education are lacking. The current study is an exploratory analysis of the existence of consumer-style courses in criminal justice education and explores 2,957 individual courses from 119 undergraduate degree-earning institutions.

    orensi f F c R o e l s a e n r a r u c o h J Romeika and Yan, J Forensic Res 2013, S12 Journal of Forensic Research DOI: 10.4172/2157-7145.S12-001 ISSN: 2157-7145 Review Article Open Access Recent Advances in Forensic DNA Analysis Jennifer M Romeika and Fei Yan* Department of Chemistry, North Carolina Central University, USA Abstract Forensic DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) analysis or DNA profiling has played a major role in the criminal justice system. New techniques and technologies for DNA profiling continue to evolve every year. This paper reviews the literature reported during January 2011 through June 2013 in the field of forensic DNA analysis. Recent advances in almost all aspects of DNA analysis – which include sample collection, storage, and pretreatment, DNA extraction, DNA quantitation, quality assurance of DNA testing, and DNA databases are discussed. New developments now enable new kinds of forensically relevant information to be extracted from limited quantities of biological samples, and offer unprecedented potential for high-throughput DNA analysis. Keywords: DNA profiling; Amplification; Extraction; Microfluidics; effectiveness. In the past 2.5 years (January 2011- June 2013), new DNA methylation; Single nucleotide polymorphism; Forensic technologies for every step of forensic DNA analysis continued to emerge. In this review, recent developments with particular emphasis Introduction on new techniques for manipulating and analyzing DNA are DNA is the chemical code that is found in every cell of an individual’s summarized. body. Although approximately 99.9 percent of human DNA sequences Collection and Quantification of DNA Samples are the same in every person, forensic scientists are only interested in the 0.1 percent of the DNA that is unique to each individual.

  • The CSI Effect Among Jurors in Malicious Wounding Cases
    Journal of Social, Behavioral, and Health Sciences 2013, Volume 7, Issue 1, Pages 52–66 ©Walden University, LLC, Minneapolis, MN DOI: 10.5590/JSBHS.2013.07.1.04 Seeing Is Believing: The CSI Effect Among Jurors in Malicious Wounding Cases Corey Call Virginia Commonwealth University Amy K. Cook Virginia State University John D. Reitzel Virginia Commonwealth University Robyn D. McDougle Virginia Commonwealth University With the popularization of television crime shows that focus heavily on forensic science, such as CSI and its spin-offs, concerns about a new threat to jury trials have emerged in recent years. Dubbed the “CSI effect,” this phenomenon has reportedly come to influence the way jurors perceive forensic evidence at trials based on the way forensic evidence is presented on television. While the CSI effect has been the topic of much discussion throughout the popular press, the CSI effect has seldom been empirically tested. In this study, we present a selection of media accounts as well as criminological and legal literature that provides a review of the current state of the CSI effect. Additionally, we present the findings of a survey of 60 jurors from five malicious wounding cases on the influence of viewing CSI on jury decision-making. Using a logistic regression model, we found that belief in the accuracy of the scientific methods used on CSI was significantly related to juror verdicts. Keywords: CSI effect, forensics, jurors Introduction The American court system is predicated on the assumption that reasonable jurors can determine guilt based upon relevant facts of a case and the procedural rules governing jury trials.
