Teen drug addiction is a major problem present in the society, and delinquent youth often end up relapsing into their addiction after they have been undergoing treatment and have stayed in a correctional facility. It is true to the extent that many youths who have been admitted to juvenile correctional facilities have faced educational, financial and family issues which have made them delinquent and residing to drugs. Amongst those in the facility and under judicial orders were those, who were regular drug abusers and were found guilty on multiple occasions.

Frederick E. Adams (petitioner) v. Robert Williams (respondent)

Facts:

On the morning of 30th October 1966 in Bridgeport, Connecticut an individual approached a policeman and informed him of another individual in a nearby vehicle who had a gun and carrying narcotics (Vile & Hudson, 2013). The policeman acted on the tip and asked the vehicle’s occupant, Robert Williams to open the door. Instead, Williams rolled down the window and the policeman reached into the car and retrieved a gun from William’s waist band (Justia, 2017). William was arrested for unlawful possession of fire arm and a search on his ...

Addiction can have devastating consequences on families. Many people become so caught up in the whirlwind of hard drugs that they lose touch with reality and begin to forget the person they used to be. They make decisions based on the drugs instead of using common sense, and people tend to get very hurt, and in many cases, they die. People will do anything for money, including committing crimes, and those crimes can end up leading them to jail or other criminal punishment. In Anthony’s Intervention episode, his addiction has a significant affect on all aspects of his ...

The term ‘actus reus’ refers to the physical component of the crime, while ‘mens rea’ addresses the mental aspect of the offence. Situations, when the alleged perpetrator has the actus reus, but lack mens rea can be different, and a solution depends on the constituent components of a particular crime. First of all, strict liability offences and a range of other offences that differ across statutes and common law under different jurisdictions do not require proving mens rea. Strict liability often refers to minor offences (e.g., selling alcohol to an under-aged individual), where it is hard to determine the ...

The Lord of the flies written by William Golding and Inferno by Dante Alighieri are allegorical books that expound common themes and similitude in the usage of styles. In particular, the common theme that resonates in these two books is the nature of man and the evil that men harbor in their hearts. In essence, the two novels delve to answer the question as to who is the real enemy of humankind. Though the two authors dexterously use different stylistic devices to answer the question, the convergence is that man himself is the worst enemy to each other. According ...

What does the treatment of women in Chinese law tell us about understandings of justice in Late Imperial China? Introduction During the Late Imperial China, women were treated as inferior to the men in the society. Even for those who were educated. However, it can be observed that during the seventeenth century, there were many calamities that befell China such as earthquakes, drought and famine. These facts caused a lot of changes in the society. Many people turned into bandits and thieves because of the hunger they were experiencing. There was also a moral decay in the ...

Olaudah Equaino

Chapter one of Olaudah Equaino presents a glimpse of the 18th century culture and way of living in a typical African village. In the initial chapter, Equaino demonstrated a reserved behavior, by humbly citing that his narrative was not intended to call attention to himself. However, he also expressed that he felt more favored by God compared to other Africans, which leads him to acknowledge how the Divine had been so merciful of him throughout his life. Consequently, his narrative was a demonstration of his high hopes to be able to help in promoting “the interest of humanity”. He ...

Even if Macbeth and the Tell-Tale Heart, penned by Shakespeare and Edgar Allan Poe respectively, were written centuries apart, it’s the common theme of guilt expressed so well in the latter that helps us imagine Lady Macbeth’s state of mind (Deighton). In particular, it is the pangs of guilt that she suffers from throughout the play after coercing her husband to commit regicide - to kill King Duncan - who consider Macbeth to be an ally and friend. In the Tell-Tale Heart, the killer suffers from delusions after committing the deed in killing the old man and ...

Youths are not generally tried in adult court for the crimes that they commit. This is because most of the crimes committed by youths are not serious enough to justify incarcerating them alongside adult offenders. Most youths are tried in juvenile court and are sentenced to serve time in juvenile detention facilities if convicted. However, this does not apply to youths who are convicted of more serious crimes, such as murder. The age at which a person can be tried in adult versus juvenile court differs between states. In forty-one states the maximum age of a juvenile before being ...

Abstract

This paper explores two major psychological theories, which attempt to explain why people use drugs as a solution to their various problems. The main goal of this research is to explain how these theories explain the drug usage and describe whether these theories support a strong relation between drugs and crime. The method of research includes finding two articles about crimes, committed under the influence of drugs and reasoning the connection between the usage of drugs and crimes. This paper examines a possible connection between the two selected theories and two crimes, described in the articles. According to the ...

President Obama enacted the Affordable Care Act as a United States Federal statute in 2010. Together with the amendment to the reconciliation bill, it promised to expand health insurance to all citizens at a reasonable cost. PPACA defines the health care as neither the right nor privilege of people but it states that citizens, however, do have a right to “affordable” healthcare, which it tries to achieve through a partnership between the market and the government. The ACA is a result of an evolution of government-funded plans such as Medicare and Medicaid as well as statutes such as HIPAA, ...

Introduction

Crime is considered as a way of adopting ideas and techniques that break the ethical boundaries and governmental laws as well. The current paper tends to explore and elaborate the different aspects of crimes, their features, and their impact on the social order of the world.

INTRODUCTION

Throughout human history there has always been crime, from the most petty of crimes to the most heinous of criminal injury, abuses and murder. The most gruesome of crimes are those involving murder, whether premeditated or “heat of the moment,” which carry heavy criminal consequences. These cases are tragic, but no murders are more disturbing and shocking than those committed by serial murderers. These are killers who torture, dismember and murder victims in very specific and very ugly ways that are an extension of the killer’s needs. There have been many serial killers who have become famous for ...

Incarceration is used to deter juveniles from committing crimes, making the juvenile system more punitive. Serious juvenile crimes are those of a violent in nature, as reported in the FBI Uniform Crime Report. Juvenile arrests for robbery were alarming as this increased more than 30% since 2004 (Roberts 3). Female offenders for robbery have also increased, as reported in 1985 to 2002. Drug abuse violations rank next, but could also be the reason for committing robbery and violent crimes. This kind of juvenile offenses can be considered serious and needs more severe punishment. However, the question here is the ...

Incarceration appears to be one of the most popular forms of punishment for committing crime or other offences. The largest number of prison population is in the United States. According to a study, performed in 2013 by Lauren E. Glaze and Danielle Kaeble, statisticians by the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), about two million adults were incarcerated and others less than five million were under parole or probation. Totally 6 899 000 adult individuals were under the supervision of Criminal Justice System (prisons, jails, parole, probation) in 2013. (Glaze, L., Kaeble, D., 2013) With the establishment of prisons, ...

The debate on whether minors should be held in the same stature as adults for equal crimes is one that has been raging on for a long period. The debate is occasioned by the enticing argument that any form of societal and criminal misconduct should always be tackled by undertaking tougher punishments on offenders regardless of age. However, applying the same metric of punishment to juveniles as adults is not the solution. It is especially the case considering that research indicates that minors that receive adult sentences become more likely repeat offenders as opposed to those that go through ...

A sexual offender is a person who has committed a sex crime, which is punishable by law. Sex crimes, on the other hand, are determined by a particular area’s laws and jurisdiction and they determine whether a person’s actions fall under sexual offense or otherwise. In many countries, sex crimes are in fact major crimes which are kept side by side with other crimes like physical assault or breaking traffic rules. While some crimes committed by sex offenders are strictly sexual in nature, others might be those that are a violation of those who are chosen by ...

Introduction

The issues of whether or not to treat juveniles or minors the same ways as adults when they commit a crime is a delicate one and has been debated for decades. Many authoritative figures believe they should be treated in a similar manner. However, there are many researchers that feel differently, believing that charging a child with what many consider an “adult crime” could affect the rest of their life and leave them with no hope of redemption. When making such a life-changing decision a judge or jury should already understand the social, biological, and psychological factors that differ ...

Mary’s case reflects a serious case of criminal behavior, not counting the numerous crimes committed against her by her family members.

Raised by a father who was abusive against the family and a mother who was emotionally distant, Mary’s childhood and most formative years were spent facing damaging abuse that would affect her for the rest of her life. Her step-father, who arrived on the scene when Mary was nearly ten, sexually abused her and her ...

Historical Origins of Correctional Enterprise

Correctional systems are institutions for rehabilitating criminals. They include prisons and community- based systems. After being convicted in court, criminals may spend time in correctional systems away from friends and family. There are different types of correctional systems classified according to the government level in which they function: private, local, state or federal. They can also be classified according to the level of security, age, and gender (Waldron, et al. 2009). Most correctional systems run Correctional Enterprise programs that provide opportunities for prisoners to learn new skills, be productive, and responsible. This initiative’s objective is to instill values ...

Introduction

People commit a variety of crimes on a daily basis. Some crimes are minor incidents that do not have an extensive consequence or sentence to uphold by the offender. There are crimes that are committed that are in a higher bracket and these crimes have a more serious sentence. People often commit a crime for a number of reasons. Some crimes committed were not even done by the person who was charged in the incident. There needs to be proof or evidence that can place the alleged criminal at the crime scene when it accrued. It is important that ...

Charles J. Keech has been in prison for thirty-three years. He was initially convicted for two counts of first degree murder, which were committed in Jacksonville—although he was not the one who committed the murders themselves. He and a group of three other men were committing a burglary in Jacksonville when the stabbings occurred, and as a result of the realities of the American penal code, Keech was tried and convicted of these two murders. His first chance for parole is not until August 17, 2034, but he is scheduled to see the parole examiner in February of ...

Introduction

The criminal justice system in the United States is complex and has a trove of advantages for the defendant in comparison to several other nations. The rights include the right to an attorney and the right to remain silent during a police interrogation. Apart from these rights, the process to find someone guilty and sentence that person is a tedious process. Unlike justice systems which rely on circumstantial evidence, the American Justice system insists on the presence of physical evidence to corroborate. In addition, a lengthy process ensures checkpoints in different areas to prevent convicting innocent people of crimes ...

The ritual of marriage is a very important milestone in the life of an individual and, more so, in the life of an individual who is also a devout Christian. The Scripture often mentions the sanctity of marriage as well as the permanency of it in one’s life. Such descriptions have resulted in a dilemma for particular individuals who, for some unfortunate reason, have had to divorce and remarry. At present, Catholicism does not permit divorced individuals to remarry unless and until they have had their marriage annulled by the Church. While the Orthodox Catholic views on remarriage ...

There were apparent abusive situations at Sparrow’s Home. The following responses would describe the abusive situation:

Who is committing abuse: From the situations that were noted, the person committing physical and verbal abuse is Kim, the healthcare aid. Likewise, Janet, the supervisor, could also be unintentionally or indirectly committing abuse through denying that her friend and colleague, Kim, is committing these abusive behaviors, possibly with previous knowledge and awareness. Who must report: The person who must report these abusive behaviors are those who get to witness them (Courtney), the elders themselves, other guests or family members who witness any kind of abusive behavior being subjected to any of the elders or staff, for that matter.

Fire outbreaks can be big or small but are still a danger to lives. Invariably, whenever arson takes place, the public is often left to wonder the motives for committing the act. However, a serial arsonist is the one that habitually and compulsively starts fires. Stolt (2012) notes that most serial arsonists have unclear motives for committing the crime and that they are often unaware of the devastating damages caused by their actions. Moreover, they are different from the occasional offenders since arson attacks pose a high social threat to the public (Stolt, 2012). Therefore, they are mostly classified ...

Theoretical Essay

In the world of law punishment (alternative name – penalty) is considered as an “infliction of some kind of pain or loss upon a person for misdeed (i.e., the transgression of a law or command).”1 Penalty may take different forms and vary from forced labor, flogging, body mutilation, fines and imprisonment to the capital punishment. The punishment has been very retributive, mostly in the form of revenge, during the pre-modern ages and usually the prosecution was executed by the victims or their families. There was not any proportion between the quantity and quality of wrongdoing and the punishment. The ...

Introduction Established by the Greek statesman, Solon, sometime in the 600 B.C., voting has always been a key feature of democracy. The international community regards it as the most basic human right, which should be protected and guaranteed to all citizens of a country as stipulated by internal human rights laws. A government by the people must have the participation of the people, which is realized through suffrage. Today, voting rights are already universally practiced, yet there are certain circumstances wherein such right is taken away by the state. In the United States, a person will lose ...

In the court systems, various felonies are penalized following the court's guidelines. There are a variety of particulars that go into a sentencing pronouncement. An individual who commits a financial fraud may go to jail for a longer period, compared to someone who commits murder, as is the case of Bernard Madoff, who went to jail for 150 years for committing financial crime and Karla Homolka was sentenced to 12 years in prison for murder. It is, however, clear that an extensive range of verdicts are not necessarily rational to the victims or the scam culprits. This paper looks ...

The use of drones in warfare has become increasingly questionable in its morality. Though using drones exhibit a way to minimize casualties, the very act of indiscriminate destruction caused by these drones have been criticized. Drones have allowed for the killing of people at a more discreet and maneuverable manner. The very people who have piloted these drones appear to be the ones most traumatized by these acts. These pilots show signs of PTSD caused by their murder of innocent people who are casualties caused by collateral damage. The problem with drones or with any other kinds of air ...

The death penalty is capital punishment for the crime that is carried out legally against a person. It is the government's sanctioned practice that puts the person to death for committing a serious crime. The punishment of execution reduces capital crime in a country. The capital crimes are serious and mostly related to murders. I am arguing that capital punishment is a good practice as it solves the core problems of society and reduces the rate of crimes and murders. The capital punishment is good for society because it limits and reduces the rate of crimes in society. I ...

This is a condition that shows some or all symptoms that are different other types of mood disorders. Diagnosing a person with this disorder is challenging as it presents assorted or some of the symptoms. However, the signs and symptoms can be well seen and established.

In respect to pathophysiology, there is no identified cause of the unspecified depressive disorder. This is because it is uncategorized and most of its causes ...

If post-Furman death penalty statutes and Court decisions had the impacts desired by the Court’s majority in Furman

The court ruling and post-Furman death penalty statutes have not achieved the desired effects since capital punishment still follow the same trend. Importantly, racial discrimination is still evident in convicting murder and other serious offenders. Black Americans have higher chances of facing capital punishment as compared to Natives with similar offenses. Since the revival of the capital penalty in the 1970s, close to half of offenders on death row are blacks (Uniform crime report, n.p.). Evidently, the White and Black Americans exhibit equal chances of committing murder or rape. Thus, the reports on the ratio of blacks and whites ...

Assess the Security, technology, management and control functions within correctional environments.

Recently, the application of technology in correctional facilities has grown immensely as it assists to make prisons and jails safer.

Introduction to Law Enforcement 1) What do Americans want from police? Police officers are seen as peace keepers as well as enforcers of the law, and as such are continually at odds with various elements in their communities. A certain level of corruption will always exist in any society, though police officers are intended to keep it to a minimum at the very least. What people tend to want from the police is the protection that law enforcement is bound and sworn to give in regards to their community. In several polls many people have gone on to claim ...

The purpose of this assignment is to analyse the themes that comprise the societal understanding of the occurrence and penalties of drug-related crime. The researcher uses information from seven courtroom sentencing remarks from Adelaide, Southern Australia. This inductive thematic analysis identifies overarching themes that are evident across all seven documents. The themes include “gender and ...

In the midst of the Cold War era, both the U.S and U.S.S.R engaged one another in proxy wars in regions throughout the world to further their respective expansionist national agendas while counteracting the geo-political influence of one another.

Thus, proxy wars are facilitated by major powers to preserve and expand their geopolitical influence through promoting or opposing certain armed factions within a regional conflict which in turn ...

Bad faith in The Scarlet Letter

It can be really difficult to come to a decision when the outside world persuades you to meet your own wishes first. Being by nature a weak-willed creature, people are inclined to rash actions and misguided dealings. We are, at times, sneaky and foolish. Sometimes even the good intentions we may have and a deep longing to act justly may also be seen as a display of bad faith. According to Sartre, bad faith is the use of freedom without the acknowledgement of its presence (Detmer 203). Being consciously aware of their bad conduct, people still refuse to ponder ...

The problem of suicide belongs to the problems posed by traditional ethics. The prohibition on suicide, available in almost all the world's great religions, has become traditional. This position is also reflected in a number of philosophical concepts. So, in the Kant’s ethics, suicide is not permitted under any circumstances (Kerstein 212). Humanity in our person is inviolable, it is something sacred, entrusted to us. However, there were other opinions, including well respected so widely quoted opinion of Seneca, who thought that the wise do not live as much as they should, they live as much as they ...

Racial profiling has always been an issue of discussion over the past few years. It is however, considered the practice done by law enforcement officers to having a target on certain individuals with suspicion of crime based on the individual’s characters. The targets considered as social profiling are based on certain unique characteristics including race, ethnicity, the national origin or even religion. Walking and Williams(2008) state that the discriminatory actions are mainly carried out in the western countries, which have high diversity degree. The law enforcing bodies, however, treat racial profiling differently. The U.S. department of justice ...
