Ashford 5: – Week 4 – Assignment

 

Sexual Predator Prosecution
 

Prepare a paper that details your home state’s approach to sexual predators. Address following items in your paper:

1. Does your state have any laws that prohibit conduct      that would be considered to be predatory?
2. What types of crimes are codified into law,      misdemeanor, or felony?
3. What are the punishments?
4. Are there mandatory punishments, or do judges have      discretion in sentencing a defendant after conviction?
5. According to the statutes that you research, is mere      solicitation of improper activities enough for a prosecution, or must      there be physical contact?
6. Provide your opinion on the statute(s) and their      varying severity on sexual predators.

 NOTE: If you cannot locate your state’s statutes, please research Florida’s.
 

The paper must be three to four pages in length and formatted according to APA style. You must use at least two scholarly sources in addition to the textbook to support your claims. Cite your sources within the text of your paper and on the reference page. For information regarding APA, including samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center, located within the Learning Resources tab on the left navigation toolbar.
