Jurisville scenarios
In preparation for this assignment, please view the Jurisville scenarios and resulting simulations from
Weeks 1 through 3 in Unit 1: Crime and Policing.
In the scenarios and resulting simulations, Dr. Carla O’Donnell discusses theories of victimization. Sgt.
Barry Evans identifies criminals and their past convictions, and relates the applicable federal, state, and /
or local agencies that would take jurisdiction over the crimes committed. Sgt. Evans also illustrates how
adopting select measures within the community can help to make certain locations safer, thwart potential
offenders, and lessen the likelihood of people becoming crime victims.
Use the Internet to research three (3) real-life incidents from the past five (5) years that fall under the
following topics:
Theories of victimization and corresponding examples
Criminal activity
Crime that occurred within your community
Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:
1. Summarize one (1) theory of victimization that Dr. Carla O’Donnell discussed within the related
scenario. Support the chosen theory with one (1) real-world example.
2. Discuss one (1) real-life scenario involving criminal activity, identifying the federal, state, and / or
local agency(ies) with jurisdiction. Explain why the agency(ies) that took the case was the
appropriate one for the particular circumstances.
3. Describe a recent incidence of crime that occurred within your community. Suggest how
implementing at least one (1) of the changes that Sgt. Evans discussed and another change of
your recommendation would have changed the circumstances of the crime that you selected.
4. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites
do not qualify as quality resources.

Describe and define the structure of the American criminal justice system in terms of its major
components and the functions they serve.
Distinguish the relationship of criminal justice to social justice and the wider notion of equity and
fairness.
Summarize the mission of law enforcement in democratic societies and describe the structure of
American policing today.
