4-2 Final Project Milestone Two: Introduction to Case Analysis

yrIn Milestone Two, you will be writing the Methodology and Theory section for your case analysis. In this paper, you will evaluate and apply the scientific methodology and theoretical framework for the case scenario you have chosen. You will walk through the case scenario, applying methodology and determining which specific scientific methodology applies to the scenario. You will also discuss what previous investigations or existing cases could be applied to the scenario.
Along with looking at the methodology, you will look at theoretical framework. You will look at how previous research helps in developing evidence-based approaches and provides effective services to clients in this scenario. You will select a psychological theory that would help inform the eventual decisions and recommendations for your chosen scenario. Provide a rationale that supports your chosen theoretical framework. Based on your chosen scientific method, discuss what best practices or approaches you would recommend to ensure they are effectively implemented in your scenario.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
II. Scientific Methodology
Evaluate the case scenario, applying the scientific methodology from the course. Remember, you are not stating opinions; you are breaking down this case through the lens of the scientific method. Walk through the scenario, applying specific scientific methodology. In other words, determine which specific scientific methodology (e.g., forensic interviewing, psychological assessments, psycho-social assessments, the administering of psychological testing, court report writing) applies to the scenario.
III. Theoretical Framework
a) How can previous research help your assigned forensic psychologist with developing evidence-based approaches and providing effective services
to clients within the scenario?
b) Select a psychological theory that would help inform the forensic psychologist’s eventual decisions and recommendations in this case. In other
words, provide a rationale that supports the approach as it relates to the specific scenario.
c) Based on the scientific methodology(s) that you identified in Section II, what best practices or approaches would you recommend to ensure that
they are effectively implemented in the particular scenario?
i. For instance, what recommendations would you make to the assigned forensic psychologist to ensure that the clients in the case
maintain the limit of confidentiality? Or how would you determine the clients’ level of cognition with regard to a forensic psychologist’s involvement with them? Note: These are guiding questions. You should address other best practices as they relate to your scenario.
Rubric Guidelines for Submission: Milestone Two should follow these formatting guidelines: Use of minimum of two sources, three to four pages with double spacing,
12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and citations in APA style.
Can You Point Out the Person You Saw in the Park? (Eye Witness Memory and Recovered Memory)
In September 2011, an 11-year-old girl vacationing with her family at a large amusement park is reported missing. Due to confusion between the parents, with each parent thinking that the other parent was with the girl, the child was missing for approximately 45 minutes before authorities were notified. Once notified, park officials placed security at all park exits. Security watched for the girl as well as questioned patrons leaving the park regarding any unusual behavior they may have witnessed. Nearly 20 patrons reported seeing a young girl who fit the child’s description with a man leaving the park. These individuals are asked for contact information. As the day ends and the park closes, the girl is still missing. Park officials conduct a thorough search of the park and find the girl’s body in a dumpster in a remote section of the park near a service entrance. It appears that the girl was sexually assaulted.
Police contact patrons who offered earlier information in hopes of developing a composite sketch of the suspect. Of the 20 patrons who were contacted, only three were able to accurately identify the girl in a photo array with a photograph supplied by the parents. Eight of the patrons reported that the suspect appeared to be a Latino male, whereas four suggested the suspect was African American. The police artist, using computer software, generates a sketch. Fifteen of the patrons agree that the sketch resembles the man they saw. The police publicize the sketch on the evening news, asking for any information. Within the following three weeks, they receive approximately 200 leads. Only five of the leads result in individuals who were at the park on the day of the crime, based on surveillance videos from the entrance and exit of the park.
The detective in charge of the case recognizes that the only evidence the police have is eyewitness evidence, because there were issues with DNA collection and other physical evidence being obtained. The detective also realizes that the eyewitnesses presented conflicting information. She decides that in order to obtain a conviction of the guilty individual, she will need to meticulously handle any eyewitness accounts placing any of the five subjects with the girl on the day of the disappearance.
The detective contacts you and asks for your consultation on the case and for your suggestions as to how to obtain the most accurate and convincing eyewitness identification.
