The goal of this instruction is to provide students with the ability to recognize when person crimes have occurred, to identify the crimes by their common names, and to classify them as either misdemeanors or felonies. For each offense examined, the performance objective requires that given a word picture that depicts a possible offense against a person, the student will identify whether the crime is complete, and if it is complete, will identify it by its common name and crime classification. The required topics for this course are extortion, assault, battery, assault with a deadly weapon, mayhem, infliction of corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant, robbery, kidnapping and false imprisonment, aiding or encouraging a suicide, murder, excusable and justifiable homicide, and manslaughter. Remaining topics required are conspiracy to deprive a person of a civil right, deprivation of a civil right under color of law, crimes against elders and dependent adults, child abduction, stalking, and carjacking. The course must involve a minimum of 8 hours of instruction. The elements for each of the foregoing offenses are outlined in this manual. A section on supporting material and references can be used for instruction, remediation, additional reading, viewing, or for planning local blocks of instruction.
