Abstract
The manual outlines the content of each topic in the curriculum. For each curriculum topic, a performance objective is presented. Curriculum topics are crimes against persons as defined under California law and Title 18, Section 241 and 242 of the U.S. Code. The performance objective for each session requires that the student analyze a word picture of the offense at issue to identify whether the crime is complete, and if it is complete, to identify it by its common name and crime classification. Curriculum topics include extortion, assault, battery, assault with a deadly weapon, mayhem, spouse abuse, terrorism (hate crime), robbery, and kidnapping or false imprisonment. Other offenses addressed are aiding or encouraging a suicide, murder, excusable homicide, manslaughter, elderly and dependent adult abuse, child abduction, and stalking. The sections of Title 18 discussed pertain to the deprivation of citizens' rights under the U.S. Constitution by any government official. The concluding section of the manual provides supporting materials and references.
