The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) was written by a group of legal scholars and adopted by elected state legislators (many of whom tend to be lawyers). But many contracts that do not involve a sale of goods are still governed by old common law principles that have been created by judges over a period of centuries. Which method do you think works better in application?
Legal scholars have also written Uniform Penal Code (UPC), which dictates the legal standards used for conviction of criminal acts as well as some of the penalties. Very few states have adopted the UPC, and none have adopted it in its entirety. Why do you think it is that the UCC has been widely adopted but states are reluctant to unify their criminal code?

- How do they achieve their goals and functions?
- Are Day Reporting Centers considered a "nominal sanction"? Why or why not?
In your paper, include a title sheet and 3-4 cited references to support your ideas. Only one reference may be found on the internet. The other references must be found in the Grantham University online library.
Only the body of the paper will count toward the word requirement and the references must be cited, both in the body of your essay and in a references page.

Before any scientific evidence can be used in court, including what we commonly refer to as forensic evidence, the court must determine whether that evidence is admissible. In 1923, in Frye v. United States, the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia established what came to be known as the Frye standard. The Frye standard held that expert opinion based on a scientific technique is admissible only where the technique is generally accepted as reliable in the relevant scientific community.
Seventy years later, in Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, the Court of the United States held that the Federal Rules of Evidence superseded the Frye standard as the standard of admissibility. Some states, however, still follow the Frye standard.
After reviewing the required materials and conducting your own independent research into the relevant issues below by reviewing law review articles, treatises, and relate
You should come to realize that there are a great number of materials and technologies typically found in a modern forensic laboratory that are used to process and analyze physical evidence that may help solve the crime and may ultimately be introduced in court. Create an outline of those materials and technologies with a brief description (a sentence or two) of each.
Using the required readings for this week, choose a specific type of process/analysis you find to be the most significant. Find two additional credible sources from the Ashford University Library (or another resource for finding credible sources) that relate to your chosen process/analysis. Discuss your chosen process/analysis in detail. Include the following elements in your initial post:
- Outline and briefly explain the materials and technologies typically found in a modern forensic laboratory.
- Examine how the process/analysis you have chosen is performed.
- Specify why that process/analys
"Virus and Malicious Code" Please respond to the following:
- From the first e-Activity, explain the key differences between viruses and other malicious codes. Identify at least three (3) different types of viruses, and describe the main differences between each one. Next, explain both the potential threat posed by viruses and other malicious codes and their main effects on computers and productivity.
- From the second e-Activity, discuss the fundamental lesson(s) that we can learn from the attacks of viruses and other malicious codes. Speculate on the main steps that both individuals and businesses can take in order to protect themselves from attacks that may occur in the future.
You should become familiar with the methods used in the analysis of ballistics. Discuss those methods and the most common problems that can arise in such analysis. Discuss those methods and the most common problems that can arise in such analysis. Include the following elements in your initial post:
- Define ballistics.
- Examine the most common methods of ballistics analysis.
- Specify why that process/analysis is the most significant.
- Discuss the most common problems in ballistics analysis.
- Explain how those problems can be overcome.
Trace evidence includes many different types of materials. In simplest terms, trace evidence is the term used to describe materials that can be transferred from a person to another person or to an inanimate object during a crime. Trace materials can include human hair, animal hair, textile fibers, fabric, rope, feathers, soil, glass, and building materials. As you read through the required materials for this week, you should become familiar with the methods used in the analysis of these trace materials. For this discussion, choose a specific type of trace evidence, outline the history of the use of such evidence, and describe the process for analysis of such evidence.
Include the following elements in your initial post:
- The specific type of trace evidence you have chosen
- An outline of the history of the use of such evidence in the investigation of crime and the prosecution of criminal cases
- A description of the process for analysis of such evidence
Prior to beginning this activity, please thoroughly read the instructions for this activity in this week’s student manual. Always follow all safety recommendations. Ensure you have all of the supplies you need before you start the activity. Some activities may need to have elements prepared in advance. Remember, the time requirements listed are estimates only, and individuals may need more or less time than the estimates to complete the laboratory activity.
Complete the Impression Evidence: Shoes, Tires, and Tools analysis laboratory activity by following the procedural and safety instructions in the forensics student manual. Be sure to take notes that are relevant and will support your written laboratory assignment for the week. The student manual provides guidance on taking notes.
At the conclusion of each laboratory project, a written report will be required. This is your opportunity to tell the instructor what you have learned from the weekly content by focusing on the criteria
