The woman was brought in by the city`s recuse team squad team to a major American city`s Emergency Department for an examination. The victim had numerous gunshot wounds and was left for dead in an isolated area for she was for about 24hrs. Before the woman was shot she had witness her friend being shot in the head by the same criminal. The emergency department had to tend to the victim’s wounds before she was able to consent to a sexual work up. One of the procedures was to conduct a “Rape Kit”. The kit involves the collection of multiple specimen. After the “Rape Kit’ was conducted it was passed to the proper chain of command.

The next step is for the investigator to take notes of the crime scene. The process of note taking should be extensive, containing even notes they may seem insignificant but may become valuable evidence later (Fisher & Fisher, 2012). At this point evidence should not be moved or touched. Next pictures are taken at the crime just as it happened. The pictures should include scales to show accuracy in the evidence produced. Next is sketching the areas where the evidence was found is a way to support the picture evidence at court. The sketches should be accurate and contain measurements of the scene.…
Impact on internal and external stakeholders When it comes to the impact of this negligent event, it is needless to say that the child, Courtnie Williamson, suffered the worse consequences of all, she will be affected physically, emotionally, and intellectually for the rest of her life; with therapy and willpower she might be able to recover to a certain extent, but there is no certainty on the success of any treatment. This negligent act limited the future of this child and the way that she might be productive and contribute to society; just as important are the enormous consequences for the parents. As much as the courts insist that the parent-child relationship does not have the same dependency as the child-parent bond, there is going…

In the circumstances that I should get amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and participate in physician assisted death, my physician (whether it be doctor, specialist, or nurse practitioner) would be required to do certain things to make sure my consent is legit.

In American politics, public opinion is mostly a latent force that typically has no important bearing on national decision making unless citizens become unusually attentive to politics. Many citizens are uninformed, which leads to inconsistent opinions. In Tides of Consent, there are many factors that shift public opinion. Some changes are fast and responsive, such as spikes in presidential approval, and some changes are slow, and occur in increments that may be overlooked. Public opinion in American politics is meaningless individually, but aggregately, public opinion is meaningful.…
The search of the crime scene is the most important phase of any investigation. Decisions of the courts restricting admissibility of testimonial evidence have significantly increased the value of physical evidence in homicide investigations. Therefore, law enforcement personnel involved in the crime scene search must arrange for the proper and effective collection of evidence at the scene.The arguments the lawyer’s will make in the William’s case is: once an item is recognized as evidence it must be properly collected and preserved for laboratory examination. However, in order for physical evidence to be admissible, it must have been legally obtained. The courts have severely restricted the right of the police to search certain homicide crime scenes without a search warrant, (Mincey v. Arizona 437 US 385, 1978).…

Informed consent is a crucial part of social work care with every single client that you work with. “In the U.S. health care system, individual patients are subject to informed consent. That is, physicians and healthcare staff must inform an individual patient about his or her “diagnosis, prognosis and alternatives for treatment. (McLaughlin & Braun. 1999, p.322) A patient then has the right to provide consent for continuation of the treatment process.” (Kirst-Ashman, 2014) As stated in our textbook, “to be in ethical compliance social workers must expressly state what the services are, why they are being recommended, any risks and benefits related to the service, the time frame that will be covered by the client consent and a client’s right…
