Criminology Reflection :: Criminology

Over the years I have been a faithful fan of anything curse related the anatomy of a wickedness, from the crime itself, to the investigation, and finally the court for trial and sentencing. I enjoyed the process. The internet became an interesting slam for me to learn all the different things I wanted to know astir(predicate) the subject of crime. I would see something in the media or on boob tube solely kept a neutral point of view well-nigh technology that was used on a program. Logically speaking, if a crime could be solved in 47 minutes and DNA results took weeks or months, not minutes to process than would it not make sense that veridical life crimes would be solved far quicker in the appoint of swift undecomposedice. This is the reason why I enjoy learning in a real world environment about different aspects of criminology. I must admit I did feel as though I had a good basic grasp of what forensic science is, but this class helped to put some missing pieces in place .There were several(prenominal) areas that piqued my interest and made me want to learn more such as ethics, more importantly, the need to be ethical in the collection of evidence, bear upon of evidence, and the testimony that is given in trial. The need to be ethical should be expected as part of a persons character, especially when presenting something that could prove guilt or innocence, nave as that might sound. However, we jazz in the real world and someones ethical manner can come into question. For instance, a first responder who took pictures of a mangled car and a dead body, and suddenly it has gone viral, perhaps level making profit from the photo or video (in this case it was just for sick humor). Dayna Kempson-Schacht had been in a deadly car accident, and a local anaesthetic firefighter had captured video of the victim, which eventually ended up on the internet, red viral, for the entire world to see. The parents eventually viewed to video of their daughters c oda moments. The firefighter was heard saying Look at that piece of skull salutary there on the console. This type of behavior is unacceptable in the state of public safety (Hayes, 2010). This extends to all aspects of criminal justice. Even cases such as O.J. Simpson (clich I know) have raised questions about the ethical behavior at the crime scene about how the evidence was collected and processed, not to make possible racial bias and planting of evidence as a direct result.
