Al Dewey observes the bloodstains, footprints, and other evidence at the crime scene, which provide clues for tracking down the suspects. The bloodstains can be analyzed for DNA evidence, footprints can be matched with suspects' shoes, and other trace evidence can link the suspects to the scene, ultimately aiding in their capture.
CRFS stands for "Cortical Response Frequency Shift", which is a phenomenon observed in neuroscience relating to changes in the frequency response of cortical neurons in the brain.
Concentric cracks are circular or ring-shaped cracks that form around a central point. They are often observed in materials such as concrete or glass due to the application of stress or impact on the surface. Concentric cracks can indicate structural weakness or impending failure in the material.
In "classical" or "respondent" conditioning (as observed by Pavlov), a "conditioned response" (CR) is learned when a "conditioned stimulus" (CS) is presented before and/or during the presence of an "unconditioned stimulus" (UCS). The CR is similar to the "unconditioned response" (UCR) in that the same physiological effectors are recruited to respond. For example, when Pavlov rang a bell (CS) before introducing meat powder (UCS) in a dog's mouth, the salivation (UCR) that normally begins the dog's digestion processes came under the control of the bell. This learned salivation in response to the bell (no longer involving digestion at all) is the conditioned response (CR). Both the UCR and the CR involve the salivary glands. Interestingly, the UCR of salivation produces saliva that is chemically distinct from that of the CR of salivation.
Gender is the single best predictor of criminal behavior: men commit more crime, and women commit less. This distinction holds throughout history, for all societies, for all groups, and for nearly every crime category. The universality of this fact is really quite remarkable, even though many tend to take it for granted. Most efforts to understand crime have focused on male crime, since men have greater involvement in criminal behavior. Yet it is equally important to understand female crime. For example, learning why women commit less crime than men can help illuminate the underlying causes of crime and how it might better be controlled. This discussion of gender and crime first reviews both current and historical information on the rates and patterns of female crime in relation to male crime. The discussion is followed by a consideration of theoretical explanations of female crime and gender differences in crime. Finally, the authors briefly outline a "gendered" approach to understanding female crime that takes into account the influence of gender differences in norms, in socialization, in social control, and in criminal opportunities, as well as psychological and physiological differences between men and women. Comparisons of criminal behavior between different groups-such as men and women-use data from a variety of sources. One of the most widely used sources is arrest data from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Reports (UCR), collected from the nation's law enforcement agencies and tabulated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (F.B.I.). Other sources include surveys of victimization experiences, such as the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics' National Crime Vicitimization Survey (NCVS); surveys of self-reported offending behavior, such as the National Youth Survey (Elliot and Ageton); and case studies based on autobiographical accounts or interviews with and observation of individual offenders and gangs. The discussion starts with a consideration of what can be learned from arrest data, and then briefly touches on the insights to be gained from other sources. Any comparison of male and female criminality must acknowledge important similarities as well as differences. Females have lower arrest rates than males for virtually all crime categories except prostitution. This is true in all countries for which data are available. It is true for all racial and ethnic groups, and for every historical period. In the United States, women constitute less than 20 percent of arrests for most crime categories. Females have even lower representation than males do in serious crime categories. Since the 1960s in the United States, the extent of female arrests has generally been less than 15 percent for homicide and aggravated assault, and less than 10 percent for the serious property crimes of burglary and robbery. Aside from prostitution, female representation has been greatest for minor property crimes such as larceny-theft, fraud, forgery, and embezzlement. Female arrests for these crime categories has been as high as 30 to 40 percent, especially since the mid-1970s. The thefts and frauds committed by women typically involve shoplifting (larceny-theft), "bad checks" (forgery or fraud), and welfare and credit fraud-all compatible with traditional female consumer/domestic roles. Trends in female crime relative to male crime are more complex. Some writers claim that female crime has been increasing faster than male crime, as measured by the percentage of female arrests. This has clearly been true in the case of minor property crimes, where the percentage of female arrests had about doubled between 1960 and 1975 (from around 15 to 30 percent or more), with slight additional increases since then. Smaller but fairly consistent increases are also found for substance abuse categories, but they remain less than 20 percent for all categories. The same can be said of major property crimes (which remain less than 10 to 15%). However, the percentage of female arrests has declined for other categories like homicide and prostitution; and it has fluctuated for still other categories such as aggravated assault and druglaw violations (see Steffensmeier, 1993, for a review of trends and explanations). The patterns just described are corroborated by other sources of data. The National Crime Victimization Survey asks victims about the gender of offenders in crimes where the offender is seen. The percentage of female offenders reported by victims is very similar to (or lower than) the female percentage of arrests for comparable categories. Self-report studies also confirm the UCR patterns of relatively low female involvement in serious offenses and greater involvement in the less serious categories. From a variety of sources, it is clear that females are less involved in serious offense categories, and they commit less harm. Women's acts of violence, compared to those of men, result in fewer injuries and less serious injuries. Their property crimes usually involve less monetary loss or less property damage. Females are less likely than males to become repeat offenders. Long-term careers in crime are very rare among women. Some pursue relatively brief careers (in relation to male criminal careers) in prostitution, drug offenses, or minor property crimes like shoplifting or check forging. Female offenders, more often than males, operate solo. When women do become involved with others in offenses, the group is likely to be small and relatively nonpermanent. Furthermore, women in group operations are generally accomplices to males (see Steffensmeier, 1983, for a review). And males are overwhelmingly dominant in the more organized and highly lucrative crimes, whether based in the underworld or the "upperworld." Females are far less likely than males to become involved in delinquent gangs. This distinction is consistent with the tendency for females to operate alone and for males to dominate gangs and criminal subcultures. At the onset of the twenty-first century, female gang involvement was described as a sort of "auxiliary" to a male gang. By the 1980s and 1990s, gang studies found somewhat increased involvement on the part of girls (perhaps 15%), including some allfemale gangs. Regardless, female gang violence has remained far less common than male gang violence. The criminal justice system's greater "leniency" and "chivalry" toward females may explain a portion of the lower official offending rates of women in comparison to men. Likewise, the justice system's tendency to be relatively less lenient and chivalrous toward females today may help explain recent increases in levels of female arrests. Although there appear to be relatively small differences between adult women and men in likelihood of arrest or conviction, women defendants do appear to have a lower probability of being jailed or imprisoned. This difference appears to be related to a variety of factors: pregnancy, responsibilities for small children, the greater likelihood to demonstrate remorse, as well as perceptions that women are less dangerous and more amenable to rehabilitation.

When examining an onion cell under a microscope, key features that can be observed include the cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus. These features are labeled for identification based on their distinct shapes, sizes, and locations within the cell.
Erosion can be observed by looking for changes in the landscape, such as the wearing away of cliffs or the formation of river valleys. Weathering can be observed through the physical breakdown of rocks into smaller particles or the chemical alteration of rock compositions. Both processes can be seen over time by examining the changes in the landforms and rock structures.
When examining an onion root tip slide under a microscope, you can observe the different stages of cell division, such as interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. This allows you to study the process of mitosis and observe the structure and arrangement of the cells in the root tip.
By Hook looking in a microscope. It was a cork cell.While Hook was examining a dried cork he observed small chambers and named them cell. So it was observation of cork that led to the discovery of cell
When examining an onion under a microscope labeled with specific markers, one can observe the different cell structures and components of the onion, such as the cell walls, nuclei, and cytoplasm. The markers help to highlight and distinguish these structures, allowing for a more detailed and precise analysis of the onion cells.
Observing involves visually examining the measurement markings on the graduated cylinder to determine the volume of liquid. Recording is the act of documenting this observed measurement in a data table or log for future reference or analysis.
Helen observed Julia looking through old photographs and reminiscing about the past just before she died. Julia seemed reflective and nostalgic in those final moments.
The term "animalcules" was first used by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, a Dutch scientist, who observed them in the 17th century when examining a drop of pond water under a microscope. He used this term to describe tiny, animal-like organisms that he saw moving in the water.
AnswerIt is said that Anton van Leeuwenhoek discovered it
"Close observation" means carefully watching or examining something in detail to gather information or gain insight. It involves being attentive and focused to fully understand and analyze what is being observed.
