X will not be successful in applying the defence of neccessity. In criminal law, necessity is not primea facie a criminal defence. The defence, however, does apply in certain circumstances as an area of reform in the law. The land mark case, R v Dudley and Stephen (1884) 14 QBD 273 gives an example of a scenario when the defence can apply, even though it was contravacial. Looking at the scenario, the defence will not apply to X because he had all the time to dispose of the firearm, but even if he had taken it to protect his life he ...

The crash of Air France 447 is considered the biggest disaster ever to hit Air France and Airbus since the beginning of their venture into this industry. All of the 228 passengers and crew of the flight were killed in this accident (Palmer, 2013). Due to the delay in the recovery of the black box from the ocean bed, the investigations and final report, published by BEA, took nearly three years for completion (Jonathan, 2011). The final investigation revealed that the accident occurred due to the inconsistent data indicated by the FMC (Flight Management Computer System) regarding the fluid ...

Analysis of Incident Investigation Data for Causal Factors

Abstract
Accidents may be caused by various conditions: the worker’s physical and psychological condition, safety rules control, overload at work, lack of manual to prevent accidents from happening. If the worker in poor physical condition, tired and incapable of thinking clearly, he should not be allowed to work any further for safety reasons, and those conditions of workers should be defined by the company’s safety control officers before letting him start the job. Giving overtime to workers also needs careful test of workers’ physical condition. Sometimes exploited may not be equipped with safety terms. Working with dangerous ...

The Fukushima

1. I cannot be sure, but I want to believe that heroism and stoicism are still present in the society. The Fukushima 50 showed unprecedented selflessness and bravery, and stayed in the most dangerous place in order to save the lives of others. I believe that nuclear plants’ employees in other countries would take risks and stay too. But the main example that comes to my mind is the Chernobyl disaster. Some of the Soviet Union workers stayed, when the Chernobyl blast happened. They helped to clean radioactive remnants of reactor in order to give way to firemen to ...

Karen appears to have a very positive attitude about her future. She seems to have realized that the end of her relationship wasn’t about her but was about the lack of commitment on her partner’s part.

In the Canadian criminal justice system, bail suffices for purposes of releasing the accused while still on trial. The accused is afforded an opportunity out of detention at least until he is proven guilty, proof which has to be beyond reasonable doubts. It is in appreciation of the role of bail and the courts that confer the same thereof that I visited the said courts. On November 20th 2013 I visited a bail court as part of my class assignment to examine cases of accused being processed through a bail hearing. The bail court I visited was City Hall on Queen ...

Introduction

This is a healthy fitness Centre that has been in existence since the 1980s as a Centre for martial and exercise (Stephen, 2013). For over twenty years now since its inception, the Centre has operated the same way with no major improvements in its equipment or embraced any new available technology. The Centre now being in the twenty first century and in an industry with high potential growth, there is great need for the business management to institute new mechanisms of operations if it’s to continue surviving in the market for the foreseeable future. Therefore, this research paper puts forward ...

There was no much work available because of too much ice covering the ground. When Bob received an order from a customer requiring them to supply 600 pieces of 3 x 12 Doug fir-rough-sawn-2 and per thousand board feet, it brought hope since the pay was incentive based. He confirmed the order without checking whether the client needed normal prank wood than the scaffold. When he called the client (Stan) to clarify the problem he was faced by an ethical dilemma since Stan urged him to go ahead and fulfill the order since the client was budget tight. He also ...

1.) In the case of Jose, he is suspected to be a victim of child abuse or child neglect. Here, Jose looked unhappy, and not his usual self because he told his teacher that he was locked in his room by his father as punishment for disrespecting his mother. He was also only allowed to go out of the house when his father arrives from work and forced to work in the evening in their yard. He lost weight because he was fed only with water and bread. The teacher of Jose has the responsibility to report his case as a ...

It is the case that more often than not, heinous acts are committed in private or away from the public eye. Nevertheless, there are numerous situations where such acts are committed in public places where people witness the acts but fail to do anything to stop the perpetrator. These are persons who have been referred to as bystanders. This term has been used to define them as they are not part of the “confrontation” or “encounter” between the parties in question. These are persons who are simply going about their duties but happen to witness an act which ideally ...

A near miss incident is an indication that an accident was likely to occur given a slight shift in time or distance (King, 1990). When a near miss happens, as a EH&S officer, the first action is to survey the area where the incidence has occurred and make it out of bound for all workers. Since there is a claim of imminent danger situation, all other activities should stop and the greatest concern should be determining the cause of the incident and what damages did it cause. Only workers with written permission should be allowed into the place.
The exact number of ...

1. Introduction

Climate change is only one of the adverse affects that experts claim would result from global warming if it were not prevented from happening through the decrease or elimination of greenhouse gas emissions. As such, experts have constantly warned governments about the possible risks. Already, we see this happening in the natural disasters that we’ve experienced over the past two decades. One such incident recently happened in Jeddah, particularly in the year 2009, when heavy rains caused an extensive damage to the city.

In this regard, this paper will perform an analysis of the said 2009 ...

EC 320

Regression analysis refers to a host of techniques used in statistics to explain relationships between variables in a data set. He helps us understand and make predictions of how dependent variables would change when independent variables are altered. Scott Armstrong (2012) says that “the estimation target is a function is a function of the independent variables called the regression function” (p. 9).It is this regression function that gives the mathematical relationship between the various variables in the data set. He says too that characterizing the disparity of the dependent variable around the regression meaning can also be described by the probability function.

1. Richard DiGuglielmo Jr. seems to be the victim of unfair trial. His case has not been properly represented in the court or probably he has been misunderstood by the judges. On the fateful day, he saw that Campbell is about to hit his father with a metal baseball and seeing this, the first thing that came into his mind was that his father is in grave danger and he should save him at any cost. He was a cop and it was his duty to save the life of a man who was about to get hit severely by a violent man. ...
