There are various instances where an officer in the criminal justice system finds themselves in situations where their integrity is put to test. One such instance is the scenario where a deli owner offers to pay for a sandwich that a uniformed police officer goes to buy. The professional and ethical standards that should be in place from the police department to assist the officer in his decision making is that a uniformed police should not accept gifts from civilians under any circumstances. This is because an officer who receives gifts from civilians might have a hard time maintaining ...

Many people are in a trial, and a lot of finances have, therefore, been put aside for the development of the prison system. In other words, the huge budget goes to the court of law, public defenders, district prosecutors, and the attorney general (Bluestein, 2016). Primarily, this has brought numerous challenges as the state has to keep up with these expenses. Notably, I chose this article because I am passionate about development.

The environment is one of the crucial components that enhances sustainable development. It is worth noting that environmental crimes are viewed to be less important compared to traditional crimes. Law enforcement agencies tend to ignore environmental crimes in society. Environmental crimes are threats to food security, economic development, health, and sustainability. Environmental crimes include unregulated fishing, illicit trade of hazardous waste, smuggling of ODS (ozone-depleting substances), illegal logging, wild animal traffic, electronic waste management, as wee as dumping in rivers. Analytically, environmental crimes are sensitive and dangerous to the living things. Militant groups and criminal gangs profit from some ...

What does the court mean when it says "Stare decisis is not an inexorable command; rather it is a principle of policy and not a mechanical formula of adherence to the latest decision"? Stare decisis is a Latin word that means to stand by what has already been decided. Therefore, in criminal law it is defined as the adherence of the current court system with the principles that has already been established by previous court decisions or rulings. In other words, it can be stated to be a principle of policy. Hence, it promotes reliance on the judicial ...

In a human being’s growth and development, various stages are prevalent, which feature a myriad of behaviors as well as perceptions from the society. These stages in human’s development include the prenatal stage, the childhood stage, the adolescence stage, adulthood stage and finally the old age. Although there are identifiable traits that human beings depict in each of these stages, it is prudent to note that not all experiences are shared. Particularly, the adolescence stage of human development strikes as a very important part of a human being’s life. The adolescence is the stage where humans ...

1 A I agree with Joh (2004)’s idea that there is a new silver platter doctrine in the making. Here, private cops now have the ability to present the “silver platter to local, state, and federal public policing agencies. Now, this doctrine focuses on the fact that private officials can turn over evidence to their federal counterparts without much regard to suppression even if the former obtained this information through illegal search processes. In essence, the doctrine does not allow public police agencies to conduct unreasonable search and seizure activities. Thus, all pieces of evidence obtained using this ...

Issue: Criminal Accountability of UN Officials on mission

Position: Head Chair/Co-Chair Introduction The criminal accountability of the UN Officials on mission is one of the legal issues, which has been debated through the Legal Committee for numerous years. The legal gaps make it difficult for the UN to hold personnel accountable for crimes committed in the missions under its jurisdiction. The UN personnel are being currently accountable only to their countries and their legislation or being protected by the international legal statute of immunity. The lack of accountability makes the whole organization less credible and reliable. With two different groups of UN personnel the troop contributing countries ...

How to overcome racism if our own justice system is racial? We know that our nation has struggled a lot of unjust racial cases. For example, in the period of pre-civil war, the southern part of the United States was covered with slavery. The life of Black-African American groups was horrible as they were slaves and were treated as slaves also. They were a property that white people could buy and sell, had no rights, and were not protected by the legislature. In 1865, Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery, and the modern days are known for the public fight with ...

Does war has differing effects among the affected? Is social justice guaranteed to those affected as a result of war? I decided to involve my father to find out how the family was affected by the Second World War to get the answers. “We thank God for the peace that we experience now as a family,” my father began. “Your grandfather was a veteran. He really suffered considering the success of the nation against his safety,” he added. “What triggered the war and what made my grandfather get involved in the war?” I asked.

“Your grandfather was a military ...

Black Lives Matter

I find social activism as a modern and more effective way to create awareness about an issue or initiate a protest against one. This is because social activism promotes mass movements in societies in which it is initiated, and as such, important matters that call for everyone’s attention can be addressed with urgency and the level of importance that can bring about social change. The social activism movement: ‘Black Lives Matter’, initially originated in the U.S. and later on replicated in the U.K., is one that I am particularly interested in. Spearheaded by the African-American community, the movement ...

On January 27 Donald Trump has signed the executive order about the restriction of entry of refugees into the USA. According to the order, reception of all refugees stops for four months. Besides, the document forbids entry into the country to citizens of Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, and Yemen, including that who have visas, for three months. Restrictions extend also to holders of "green cards" — that is the people authorized to live and work in the United States of America permanently. The document, contrary to an ordinary procedure, has been prepared without participation of specialists of Ministry ...

The article is a discourse on criminal justice, assessing the role of the bourgeois intellectuals who have in time over assigned contradicting explanations to criminal justice and prescribed prejudiced proposals on the role and extent of punishment of petty offenders. The paper covers the role of the political economy in influencing the views of these intellectuals, and the interplay between politics and the world view of these realists. It also looks at the investment made in criminal justice and the role of law enforcement in protecting the middle class from crimes and victimization resulting from such inter-class prejudice.

A Review of Literature

INTRODUCTION The United States has currently been struggling with a great deal of political warfare, social unrest and public protest from the inside and from terrorism, global criticism and immigration battles from the outside. There are so many issues that the subjects of debate seem endless. One of the most controversial and often debated issues today is gun control. There is no doubt that it is incredibly dangerous when offenders are armed when they commit crimes like burglary or in a car-jacking; more so when these offenders have every premeditated intent to kill. At the same time, not everyone ...

Homer and Hesiod are famous for their work concerning poetry. This paper compares them as poets. To begin with, Hesiod was a well-known Greek poet, who was identified as a hard worker throughout his work between the 750 and 650 BC.

During this period, Hesiod was trying to establish a relationship with the Greek religious clients. Viewing the scholars’ arguments, they pointed out Hesiod as the main source of the Greek mythology, knowledge on farming, and a great timekeeper. He analyzes ...

On Society and Gender Inequality in John vs. Jennifer

Central to the foundations of the governing principles that the Founding Fathers channeled while forming the Union was the desire for freedom and equality as the goals for the new government. Apparently, as opposed to the monarchical rule that the English Empire imposed on its American colonists, the latter supported democracy as the ideal form of governance for the masses. Case in point the peoples’ endorsement of the American Constitution that guaranteed a “[balance] of power” within the government and equality through “the nation’s size and diversity” (Foner 11).

Issues Regarding the US Constitution’s Fifth Amendment

This law protects the person from incriminating himself to a crime, from possible improper methods to be used by law enforcement either through deceit, coercion or threats (Snitker). By encouraging silence in the face of the need for legal defense, this law wisely leads the accused to seek legal assistance.

Protection to the Criminal Defendant

Self-preservation is a natural right of any person and he may abuse this right by unknowingly withholding cooperation in judicial processes against crime. Excessive protection can be treated with reasonable approaches by law enforcement so that the Fifth will not overly and inappropriately protect defendants.

Search and seizure legal procedures draw much controversy because most people have a high level of expectations regarding privacy. This high level of expectations can be traced back to England’s ‘castle doctrine’ wherein the law recognizes the right of a person to defend one’s home or property from unlawful entry (U.S. Government Publishing Office, 1992, p. 1199). Such expectations regarding privacy, however, is not absolute. In fact, the law provides that intrusion on private property can be made lawful under certain circumstances prescribed by the law. There are several provisions under the United States constitution that can ...

Slavery was a part of the American culture for almost a whole decade (1776-1865), and during that time, many people had to suffer inhumanly for the only solid reason of being a bit different from someone else. There is no way of wiping the past from the memories of those who have struggled, which means that the terror of slavery will always be a part of the human history. As the experience shows, world history is far from being pretty. It has presented its evils so many times that merely counting them would take ages. Every major society, every ...

In order to ensure peace and prosperity of a country, most governments have employed the use of stringent rules and regulations to govern people. However, some people stray away from the common perception of government and embrace anarchy. Anarchy is basically opposite of what the government stands for, anarchism is a political ideology (Carter, 1971) that holds the state undesirable and harmful while advocating for stateless institutions. The view of anarchists stray away from the commons masses and more often they tend to go extreme and cause social disturbance and unrest (Gage, 2009)as was the case of the ...

The Federal Torts Claims Act (FTCA) is the statute that allows for the recovery of damages against the United States (Cann 487).

The rise in imprisonment in America over the past years has risen at an alarming rate. The United States of America prison population has increased from about three hundred thousand inmates in the 1970’s to over one million inmates in recent years. Statistics show that America has the highest number of inmates in the world (Pfaff 173).The so-called “war on drugs ” which attracted long prison sentences has acted as a major factor contributing to the increase in the prison population (Golembeski 1702). Between the years 2003 and 2010, the prison population rate in the state of Georgia ...

Introduction

Ethics came from the Greek word ‘ethos,’ or character. In the modern context, ethics refer to the study of normative behavior. It is commonly understood as standards of behavior that ought to be followed under certain circumstances and the moral reasoning behind such actions. Ethics does not necessarily make people do good; nor is it an attribute that is only exclusive for good people. In fact, there are good people that exhibit unethical behavior, especially when under pressure. Professor and author, Denis Collins, for instance, observed that there are many good individuals who engage in unethical behavior because they ...

There are some approaches to natural law. The first conception assumes that it exists independently and does not need to be recognized, found by anyone or declared. On the other side, the positive law has to be approved according to certain procedural standards. The positive law is limited, while the natural law of God or of Reason is limitless and universal (Silving 477). In other words, they are of different origin and have different power and procedure of adoption. These concepts fit into my understanding of the role of law in the community. Thus, it is well-known that there ...

Health care has always been a basic human need and a part of the heritage of people. As a result, health care can be considered as a product of the collective efforts of the previous generations.

End-of-life care refers to the provision of care to patients with incurable terminal illnesses and patients who are in a permanent vegetative state, and that type of care is one of the most commonly debated ethical issues in contemporary health care for two reasons. First, because of the development and advancement of medical techniques and technologies, physicians and nurses are now able to prolong the patients’ lives, but those interventions do not always improve the patients’ quality of life or maintain their human dignity (Cherry & Jacob, 2016). Second, the human population is aging, so the prevalence of terminal illnesses ...

“Sasha, ihre fahrt ist hier.” At my teacher’s demand, I ran from my seat with such enthusiasm that I have never experienced before, and left behind everything I owned.

Most people have tried to explain the term justice from different perspectives. Justice is seen as a simple word, but the truth is the word justice is very complicated. Justice can be based on the concept of moral rightness that has varying perspectives on ethics, fairness, religion, rationality and law. On the other hand, justice can be termed as fairness in the protection of the rights and the punishment of wrongs. While the legal systems and other tribunal aim to uphold the ideal through the proper and fair administration of the laws, it's likely to have the unjust laws ...

Judicial Activism of the Court of Justice of the European Union

Since the ECJ handed down the 2005 Mangold v. Helm case, there have been several criticisms provided by different scholars of the decisions it made and what they believed had various consequences for the European Union law. Essentially, the decisions made by the court involved several queries, but the main one was applicability of European Union age‐based anti‐discrimination law in situations involving the fixed‐term employment contracts. The contracts were founded on the law that permitted the fixed‐term contract with no demands for the objective reasons that justified the limitations of the employment period past the ...

The political elements of Star Trek show that the series had more insight than what is apparent. The show started in the 1960s when the Cold War was at its height.

However, George Gonzalez takes a different approach in The Politics of Star Trek where he undertakes a critical review of the story within the context of the actual implications of the actions of the characters. This paper will review the first two chapters of the book in order to present the critical ...

In the majority of states all crimes are divided into two groups: felonies and misdemeanors. The difference between these two groups is in seriousness of crimes. (Hasselm, 2011) If this is a felony, an accused person can get 1 year in prison, life imprisonment without parole or even the death penalty. If it is a misdemeanor, an accused person could be punished by less than 1 year or a year of imprisonment and/or fine. Crimes are not equal in weight. General public considers some of the crimes more severe than others. (Kappeler, 2014) The majority of people considers the ...

BODY CAMERAS TO BENEFIT POLICE AND CITIZENS

There is a sustained perception by minority groups such as African-Americans that the law enforcement officers treat discriminately. This has increased incidences of police involvement against the demographics. However, the introduction and use of body cameras come as a panacea towards bringing to an end the unprecedented cases of police brutality and use of excessive force. In addition, civil suits concerning police brutality launched by African Americans are expected to reduce the involvement of body cameras. According to the H.Res.16, the wearing of body cameras by local law enforcement agencies while serving the communities encourages transparency and protects both ...

It is in the public domain that China, for a long time now, has been both a patrilineal and also a patriarchal society.

Before the 1970s, students with special needs seeking education were barred from attending public schools. They could only attend private schools of institutions run by the state but were subjected to live under conditions that were very horrible. Using the Brown v. Board of Education by the Supreme Court, lawyers filed a lawsuit under the argument that these children also deserved equal education opportunities that black children had won in the previous years (Disability Justice, 2017). The 1954 ruling on Brown v. Board of Education set the foundation for the Individuals with Disabilities Act federal law of 1975 that ...

The review additionally empowers the perception of remote arrangements and how they may influence a specific country in connection to wrongdoing. In addition, the review empowers the comprehension and the forecast ...

Any high school student would know that the criminal justice system is supposed to protect the innocent and punish the guilty but those who enter college and take criminal justice courses will argue the system is not as flawless as law enforcement would like the public to think. For instance, the guilty party is often not convicted as severely as the crime they committed warrants because the prosecution and the defense often come to an agreement on a plea bargain in an attempt to save time and money. Furthermore convicts who have perpetrated serious crimes such as first degree ...

The death sentence is not only unjust but also unethical. I, therefore, believe that it should be abolished. The death sentence is against the human rights, and this makes it be an immoral way of sentencing people. I believe that any administration across the world should abolish death sentence as a form of capital punishment. Capital punishment is the infliction of deaths for capital crimes such as murder, rape and even crime (Theroux& Krasemann, 2014). This form of punishment is just like the eye for an eye sentiment, which is also unjust and immoral. Sentencing people by murdering them ...

America was beginning to become a powerful and vital nation in the world in the twentieth century.

In the 1920s, America was beginning to grab attention in the international scene. Europe was fading, while America was appearing as a dominant nation. However, this is not because of the popularity ...
