In recent debate, there have been questions raised as to whether the juvenile justice system is too lenient, allowing juvenile offenders to repeat grave criminal offenses and get away with them, citing little to no parental guidance. Some individuals, and institutions alike, have been advocating for the instituting of dramatic measures such as the revocation of parental rights, removal of children from the home, and even forced sterilization of parents convicted of felony abuse or neglect. However, I do not believe such measures would work to mitigate and/or eradicate cases of juvenile delinquency.

While dramatic and stringent measures may ...

Introduction

I am the most powerful person in my life. This statement forms the basis for my understanding of personal responsibility.

Essentially, personal responsibility is concerned with self respect and self control, which enables an individual, be accountable for their deeds. Summarily, personal responsibility is all about a postulation that an individual takes ownership of his or her own account. The individual takes unqualified control of his or ...

Abstract

All law enforcement agencies provide a valuable public service that is intended to keep every citizens safe. Law enforcers have the noble duty of maintaining peace and order within the community and to ensure that they render services that will protect and serve for the public welfare. While the police officers are endowed with the highest duty of protecting the community, conduct arrests and seizures, fight criminals and even put their own safety and life at risk in the line of duty, very few procedural and administrative protections were provided for law enforcers. In view of the foregoing, the federal ...

Forensic evidence and testing relates to the analysis of evidence obtained from the crime scene through a vastly technical or scientific process (Buckles, 2007). Such as so, it requires a highly trained or skilled person to do the analysis; such persons for evidentiary purposes are referred to as expert witnesses. Expert witnesses are very critical in the criminal justice as without their expertise a lot of crimes would remain unresolved (Saferstein, 2011). However, due to the technical nature of the evidence, it is difficult to ascertain the authenticity and admissibility of such evidence.

Accordingly, there are basic standards set to guide the ...

The recent events in the state of Florida with respect to the ‘Stand Your Ground’ law is worrying and shocking. Many people have lost their lives as a result of this law, and still there are no indications that this law would be amended soon.

Many black people in Jacksonville continue to live in fear as the individuals continue to take advantage of the law to satisfy their egos. People have been left off the hook because ...

The slogan was a phrase that Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, used in an article in the 1970s. She wrote a scholarly article that attempted to study the well-behaved Puritan women and how they got celebrated in their funerals. When people read that statement, they became more curious and gave it different meanings; while some celebrated the fading of feminism, others thought it had just started. Kay Mills, a journalist, altered the statement slightly in her work on the informal history of American women, and this caused an uproar on the subject.
The altered slogan propelled Ulrich to fame, and ...

The Supreme Court has set up guidelines to evaluate restrictions by the government on the use of public places. These public places are mainly used for communication hence speeches are a common element. One consideration made on the use of public places is on its connection to unlawful behavior like violence, trespass or chaotic conduct (Schofield n.p). The court allows the government to regulate the use of public places like streets by protestors on the grounds of interests like of protecting public order, accommodating compromising needs of potential users of the same location, and protecting uninterested onlookers (such as the ...

The Slow Poisoning of India is a short documentary that reflects upon the environmental hazards posed by the continuous release of chemical substances to the environment. This has been as a result of use of modern pesticides by farmers. With India being one of the largest users of pesticides in Asia, it is quite clear then that the magnitude of chemical release into the environment has been high. This combined with the slowly fading influence of the Green Movement in Punjab has not made the issue any lighter. Increase in levels of pollution and neglect by authorities and concerned groups have ...

It adds that the general courts may authorize the imposition of the death penalty for protection of the general welfare of the ...

Just last year there was an effort to pass a law regarding Australian Aboriginals being recognized as the first inhabitants of Australia. Besides this, their language and dialects are also going to be recognized by abolishing a discriminating law in the country.

Introduction

Since ancient time, communities devised various mechanisms to sanction member of the community who travelled against societal norms, values, customs, and traditions. Some communities sanctioned law violators through beating, hanging, stoning, and lynching, but the type punishment imposed on the victims depended on the gravity of the offense committed. However, most communities appointed a council of elders to prosecute and punish individuals who contravened societal norms, values, and traditions with the intention to enhance cohesion, integration, and unity among the members. In essence, the council of elders acted as a local criminal justice system that had the mandate and responsibility to ...

Since the inception of the juvenile justice system, there have been many segments of the society that have been incorporated into the management and running of the system to ensure its success. Each of these parties play a vital role, each with its own unique set of characteristics and responsibilities that make it most effective in accomplishing the given role. Some of these parties include the police, the courts and the department of justice. In this paper, I will seek to discuss and critically analyse the roles of these three parties within the juvenile justice system.

Hello Lloyd, I have a similar question about how we can as a nation raise minimum pay for us and especially for the poor workers. It is absolutely true that those individuals who actually come from dynasties, who are educated, or who own businesses do not make minimum wage. This means that the rich do not make minimum wage as you have stated. The people who are affected are the working poor.
For that reason, I think that it is impossible for us to raise minimum wage for the poor because the poor who face challenges that result from low ...

Rousseau believed that the paramount authority lies with the common people and thus championed democracy. He states in The Social Contract that man comes in this world free. Also, controls which are governed by a freely formed governmental institution are good. ...

Tribute to Mother-in-Law on Her 70th Birthday

Among the Ten Commandments documented in the Bible, one comes with a promise. That particular commandment is “Honor Your Father and Mother”.

Martin Luther King Jr. once said that Law and order exist for the chief resolve of instituting justice but when that fails to happen, they become like dangerously structured dams that hinder the smooth running of communal progress set up.

Thus we can conclusively say that the laws recognized act like the facilitate business activity and promote development of social and culture.

The major positions especially in top level management as well as the executive in large corporations ...

Loosely defined, a crime laboratory is a place where forensic science is utilized to scrutinize evidence with a view of solving a crime. Forensic science in this context means that the laboratory combines various sciences and technology to better analyze evidence (Ballard, 2009). Reports or conclusions made from crime laboratories are generally conclusive and admitted as evidence in court (Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc). To such extent, crime laboratories are crucial to any justice system, especially the criminal justice system. Given this central role, it is imperative that a crime laboratory is sufficiently equipped to analyze evidence.

According to the constitution, a police officer may conduct a search without a search warrant on certain circumstances. However, certain conditions must be met so that such a search is legal. In the first place, the search should be done when the police have a good reason to believe that the person has engaged in crime. This means that rumors cannot make a police to conduct a search. Secondly, a search can be done when the police believe that an individual intends to engage in a criminal activity. Even though the police are allowed to conduct a search without a warrant, there should be a good reason to do search.

Predicting the future may seem farfetched, but in this case, we can risk it. In a general sense, I have a strong vision that the criminal justice system of the United States will be a pragmatic and proactive one by the time 2033 strikes.

Around this time, our criminal justice system will have already learned from the error of its ways and will do its best to keep Americans safe and protected.
In 2033, I see an empowered criminal ...

Distinguish and analyze the differences between federal, state, & local law enforcement in terms of jurisdiction & authority.

There are three main judicial and legislative jurisdictions that exist in the U. S. and they are classified as federal, state, and local. All these jurisdictions have created a broad variety of law enforcement agencies. These law enforcement agencies have little uniformity among the jurisdictions towards the authority, naming and functions of these enforcement agencies. The state, local, and federal enforcement agencies currently interact with United States homeland security via fusion centers (Holmes, 2012). There may be to some extent more than seventy fusion centers that currently operate in thirty seven states. These fusion centers may be a new concept in ...

First of all, it is important to understand that the United States was initially founded as a confederacy.

Terry Vs. Ohio 1968 is one of the landmark judicial rulings by the United States Supreme Court that maintained the Fourth Amendment. The Fourth amendment gave the police the authority of conducting arbitrary searches and seizures on individuals if they are suspecting of committing a crime. In case an individual is suspected to have the intent or is about to commit a crime, the police has a constitutional right of searching the individual. However, for the protection of the individual’s rights, the police have the authority to perform a frisk search that includes a quick search on the outer clothing of the individual ...

A huge percentage of water found in Mexico is obtained from the surface. The main sources are lakes or rivers. In spite of the few water resources in many areas in Mexico, there is a high consumption of water in these regions. This is because the tariffs are low and the rates of payment are poor (Reisner, 1992). The year 2006 saw more than 70% of the water utilized for agriculture alone. This is in contrast to less than 15% used for public supply. Moreover, less than 10% of the total water found in Mexico was used in industry and ...

Freedom is one of the fundamental human rights. However, freedom must be exercised with responsibility to promote cohesive coexistence. Laws serve as guidelines on how to exercise freedom responsibly are designed to mitigate actions or behavior that interfere with other people rights. Even though laws are meant to protect the society from unreasonable exercise of freedom, it may be sometimes exploited by those in power to limit freedom of speech, association and movement. This is unjustified limitation of freedom aimed at perpetuating undue control on citizens. Freedom and security are not mutually exclusive elements. It is apparent enhanced freedom ...

In “A Letter from Birmingham Jail,” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. writes to his white colleagues in the ministry in Birmingham, urging them to join him in the fight against racism in the city. This racism is a form of discrimination that keeps African American citizens from receiving the equal treatment they deserve. Second, people should try and change the laws peacefully before breaking them. The African American citizens of Birmingham have done this, though, and ...

When attempting an ethical decision making model, the importance of determining principles is paramount. These ethical principles are the barometer for which all future decisions are made. The model I have decided upon follows the principles of honesty, legality, and loyalty. Whenever a decision is to be made, it must be run through these questions:

In order to find the connection between these three terms, first we need to define them. The rule of law, as per Zun, Nollkaemper and Peerenboom (12), denotes the legal principle that accounts for the need of a nation to be governed by law. In other words, it reflects the unlimited exercise of power through subjecting it to well-defined, as well as established laws; laws entrenched in a given constitution of the nation at hand. On the other hand, legitimacy denotes lawfulness of any given thing, and lawful here means it adheres to the laws of a given country’ ...
