Today's schedule is C-D-Lunch-B-A

C - Introduction to Law 9/10 - Today we are going to start with your second quiz dealing with the topics we covered in Law 9/10 last week (mass & serial murder, profiling, and criminal pathology). After your quiz, we're on to crime scene procedures and we'll look at what the basic stages of a crime scene search are. The following are some great web pages to help understand the procedures:
Learning for Life Crime Scene Search study guide
U.S. Department of Justice Crime Scene Investigation guide
Criminal Profiling Crime Scene searches (FBI guidelines)
If you are interested in crime scene investigation as a career check out the BCIT courses (in Burnaby!) here


D - Law 12 - Today we will we'll continue our look at court room procedures focusing on the advantages of trial by jury and then we'll understand the methods and challenges to jury selection. You'll need to complete questions 2-6 on page 124 of your All About Law text. I'll be pushing you a bit this week to get our criminal law unit finished because next Monday (December 7th - a day that will live in infamy) you'll have your unit final test. Remember the unit final will only be on arrests, warrants, pre-trial procedures, trial organization, evidence, and sentencing options post trial.
