1. Select ONE high profile case from the list below and write an essay critically evaluating the key factors involved in the investigation and prosecution. Critically discuss whether, and if so how, the case contributed to any changes within police investigation or the criminal justice system. a. Judith Ward; b. Maxwell Confait
2. Critically discuss whether it is morally repugnant for the police to use the services of criminal informants, and to employ undercover operatives, to investigate and detect crime.
3. In the context of contemporary crime science, including developments in forensic and passive data, critically discuss whether an advanced criminal justice system should any longer rely on eye witness testimony or confession evidence in order to convict.
