Discussion Board 5
1.
Should witnesses or victims be believed without testing and without investigation in criminal cases? Explain.
o
Witnesses or victims should be believed without testing and without investigation in criminal cases unless there is evidence in the case to show that someone did or did not commit the crime in question. 2.
Do witnesses and victims ever lie in criminal cases?
o
Witnesses and victims sometimes lie in criminal cases because they are worried about their safety of themselves or the safety of their family members or anyone that they know.
3.
In medical studies involving the testing of medicine a double-blind method of testing medicine is used in which the participants taking the medicine are not told if they are taking real medicine or a placebo. Doctors administering the drugs are also not told which whether the medicine they are administering is real or a placebo. Why do you believe the double-blind method is used in medicine? Do you believe this procedure should be used with eyewitness identification in criminal cases? Why?
o
I believe the double-blind method is used in medicine to prevent bias in research results. Yes, I believe that it should be used with eyewitness identification in criminal cases because it prevents the officer from telling the witness who the suspect is or providing unconscious verbal and non-verbal cues as to their identity. [CITATION Pik21 \l 1033 ]
4.
Based on events in 2018, do you believe Americans understand the issues surrounding due processes and criminal justice? Explain.
o
I do not believe that Americans understand the issues surrounding due processes and criminal justice. The reason I feel that way is because Americans believe that by watching crime shows, looking at social media they claim they more about due
process then the police do.
5.
Do social media movements help or hurt due process and accuracy in our criminal justice
system? Explain.
o
Social media movements do help in due process and accuracy in our criminal justice because they can help find missing persons and help solve cases more quickly.
