Crime And Punishment
.... is equivalent to murderers killing their
victim. If it is illegal for murderers kill, how is it possible for government
to be justify to end the lives of the murderers.
Another concern of executing murderers is the possibility of killing an
innocence person. With our improving technology, what we now believe is beyond
reasonable doubt might a verdict filled with errors in the future. One very good
example of this is the recent acquitting of a man jailed for raped and the
murder of a girl. If he was ex .....

Contracts
.... to whom the offer is
made may reject it. When the party to whom the offer is made responds with a
different offer, called a counteroffer, the original offer is terminated. Then
the counteroffer may be accepted by the party making the original offer.
REQUIREMENTS OF A VALID CONTRACT
For a contract to be valid, both parties must give their assent. They must act
in such a way that the other people involved believe their intention is to make
a contract. Thus a person who is clearly not sincere in saying that .....

Crime
.... that most people would consider evil and acts that
lawmakers decide should be regulated in the interest of the community. The
first group includes such major crimes as arson, assault, breach of the peace,
burglary, kidnapping, larceny, murder, rape, and robbery. The second group
includes crimes of a “rapidly growing urban society.” These crimes include
violations of income tax laws, liquor control regulations, pure food and drug
laws, and traffic laws. Crimes in the first group usually involve severe .....

Crime In The United States
.... represented the fourth
consecutive annual decline. A comparison with 1986 figures, however, showed a 5-
percent increase over the last 10-year period.
By region, the Southern States recorded 38 percent of all Crime Index offenses
reported to law enforcement. The lowest volume was reported in the Northeastern
States, accounting for 16 percent of the total. All regions except the West
showed Crime Index decreases compared to 1994 figures.
Property valued at $15.6 billion was stolen in connection with all .....

Criminal Law Investigation
.... needs to be proven.
To defend against this, the accused could claim it was an accident, self-defence
or consent of the victim. Consent is just if the victim said it was all right
for the accused to do what he/she did. The other two are self explanatory.
The maximum penalty is 5 years imprisonment, but commonly punishments include
fines, good behaviour and community based orders.
A recent case in Australia was of a man who was stabbed outside a nightclub by a
group of people.

Death Penalty
.... all states, because it is morally just
and it will deter crime.
The many opponents of capital punishment who are against it feel that the death
penalty is not a deterrent and that it is barbariaertic of the past. It has no
place in a civilized society today. One of the biggest arguments against capital
punishment is people feel that it violates the eighth amendment which forbids
cruel and unusual punishment. People against Capital Punishment believe the
death penalty is absurd and is in un-christian pract .....

Death Penalty And The Eighth Amendment
.... in the United States there are five methods used for executing
criminals: the electric chair, gas chamber, lethal injection, hanging, and
firing squad, each of them equally cruel and unusual in there own ways.
When a person is sentenced to death by electrocution he strapped to a
chair and electrodes are attached to his head and leg. The amount of voltage is
raised and lowered a few times and death is supposed to occur within three
minutes. Three whole minutes with electricity flowing .....

Don't Talk To Cops
.... INVESTIGATOR INTO YOUR HOME!
Such an invitation not only gives him the opportunity to look around for
clues to your lifestyle, friends, reading material, etc., but also tends to
prolong the conversation. The longer the conversation, the more chance there is
for a skill investigator to find out what he wants to know.
Many times a police officer will ask you to accompany him to the police
station to answer a few questions. In that case, simply thank him for the
invitation and indicate that .....

Drinking And Driving Offenses
.... your conviction for "Refusing" will count
as a second conviction, not a first, and will receive the stiffer penalty for
second offences.
For the first offence here is the penalty and the defences you can make. Driving
a vehicle while your ability to drive is impaired by alcohol or drugs is one of
the offences. Evidence of your condition can be used to convict you. This can
include evidence of your general conduct , speech, ability to walk a straight
line or pick up objects. The penalty o f the first offe .....

Evironmental Law: Enforcement Measures And Effectiveness

statutes: The Environmental Contaminants Act, the Air Quality Act, the Canada
Water Act, the Ocean Dumping Act, and the Department of the Environment Act." (
Muldon, 1995, p. 23) The CEPA contains important penalties and sanctions;
provisions for the collection of information and for evaluation; provisions for
the control of importation and exportation of toxic substances; and provisions
for the reduction of wastes, the cleanup of coastal zones, the protect .....

Euthanasia And The Law
.... it is legally tolerated. Doctors are rarely prosecuted and even more
rarely convicted. If euthanasia were to be decriminalized in Canada certain
restrictions would have to be put into place, to ensure that a patient's rights
are not infringed upon. A living will should be made when the patient is of
lucid mind. Also, a council should be selected and outlined in the living will.
The council should be chosen by the patient, when the patient is of sound mind
and is able to make decisions. The council .....

Euthanasia And The Robert Latimer Case
.... many friends
and associates. From what I have learned, it is, indeed, an extremely tough
matter to deal with. While no-one I have spoken to has been suicidal over the
matter, they have seen the true pain and misery that some severely disabled
individuals are forced to deal with every day of their lives. Still, many agree
with myself on the point that a human life is just that, a human life; and that
everyone alive has the right to live, no matter whether or not it is under
tougher circumstances than anot .....

Falsely Accused
.... will print what it takes true or
untrue , to make a story .
I think that we as Americans owe the accused of there legal right of
innocent until proven guilty before we can start accusing them publicly. There
is no reason to believe what is being said in the media until there is some
definite truth in the case . I mean just because the cops may have beliefs that
there is guilt means nothing . After all the FBI gave the media information and
it was plain and simply wrong . The way the FBI handled the case .....

Fraud
.... a breach of trust. Need is the
most common reason. A desperate financial need is usually the cause of most
frauds. Still some people commit fraud to pay for an elevated life style which
other wise they could not afford. Needs arise from a number of locations these
include: Drug or alcohol addiction, Marriage break-ups and/of extravagant love
affairs, Gambling Debts, Business losses, Unexpected family crises, Mounting
debts, and the desire to live a lifestyle far beyond ones means.
Fraud is costing soc .....

Gun Control: Against
.... what they think is right. The constitution gives the people the right
to bare arms and protect themselves. Any law against guns should be
unconstitutional but the laws were made because it is what some people want.
The ban on assault riffles took effect in the may of 1994. “Nineteen
assault-style weapons and broad categories encompassing many more semiautomatic
firearms...” were among the many weapons that were banned. The guns that were
banned were only used for three percent of all gun related crim .....
