Essays on Evidential

Introduction

Maeder, et al. (2016) defined “CSI effect” as the unreasonable expectations of jurors on the sophistication of forensic science as a consequence of learning about it through television programs, such as the CSI (Crime Scene Investigation), resulting in fewer convictions in the absence of sophisticated forensic evidence against the accused. Lobo and Schnobrich-Davis (2015) referred to this as the “Tech effect”, which essentially extends the definition into the advances in information dissemination technology and beyond ‘crime scene television shows’.

Nowadays it seems to be evident that employees are under the permanent influence of their employers. Therefore, many of the aspects of the employees’ lives have the large outer impact of their workplace and the team of colleagues. However, there should also exist another part of the workers’ actions, which are definitely out of their organization’s reach. This necessity is a natural need of privacy, which concerns the private life and time beyond the borders of their enterprise. Nevertheless, this distinction between the private life and the work time creates some empty space, which creates a well debatable ...

Alcohol abuse is a major social problem in many countries, with people of different social statuses suffering from this condition. During excessive alcohol consumption, an individual usually cannot control his actions, which can very often lead to dangerous and even tragic results. People, who are considered to have alcohol use disorder, are usually drinking heavily and disregard the consequences of such behavior (Alcohol use disorder, n.d., para. 3). Similar to alcohol abuse, drug abuse and addiction cause compulsive desire to take drugs regardless of how it will affect the abuser or other people (“Understanding drug abuse and addiction,” 2012, ...

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 case sits within the domain of evidence as the procedural law in application and of course the substantive law remains criminal law.

It should be appreciated that the evidential issues shall be substantially guided by the Police and Criminal Evidence Act of 1984.

Blaise Pascal formulated the Pascal’s wager in the seventeenth century. The mathematician and philosopher presented his thoughts in his Pensées. Pascal made his arguments based on probability theory and game theory. He tried to explain the reason why people should believe in the existence of God despite the fact that this cannot be proved or disapproved rationally. The wager attempts to justify people’s belief in God with an appeal to self-interest rather than an evidence- based argument. The argument thus suggests that it is rational for people to believe in god because it is in our ...

An accused begins to interact with the criminal justice system at the point of arrest . An arrest due process ensues by virtue of the celebrated Miranda rules.

1. What is the strongest objection to Anselm's Proslogion 2 argument? The greatest objection to Anselm's Proslogion is the fact that Anselm contradicts his views.

At the same time, Anselm describes God as being a simple being that goes about the activities of the universe calmly and in a silent manner. The next set of traits that Anselm describes brings out God as being an associated with eternity. Eternity in this context refers to life everlasting. This is a ...

Two main problems of evil tend to bother atheists and unhappy individuals. First, the evidential problem of gratuitous evil causes atheists to contend that theists must make sense of their belief in light of the facts of evil. This is fitting since atheists deny the existence of a god, and the theists, not only argue for a god, but they also believe this is the omnipotent, omnipresent God Almighty. Second, the existential problem of evil appears to questioned mainly by those who are simply not happy that they exist at all. Happy people do not have a contention against the existence of ...
