The Police Exception And The Domestic Abuse Law
.... of the most effective law
enforcers in the country. With this law, this officer would not be allowed to
continue his services for his county and his fellow police officers. Many
people feel that this officer is being done a great injustice and should be
allowed to continue his otherwise flawless career as an officer of the law.
Interesting.
One simple conviction could ruin the lives of every cop in the country. Hard
working, one-time offensive policemen and women would be barred from police work

The Positive And Negative Effects Of DNA Profiling
.... confidentiality was often breached, and
in some cases, carriers were discriminated against and denied health insurance.
Nevertheless, genetic profiling has been beneficial in paternity suits and rape
cases, where the father or the assailant could be identified. However, despite
its growing number of utilizations, DNA profiling is extremely hazardous when
results are inaccurate or used to discriminate.
The frequency of genetic testing in criminal investigations (more than
1,000 in the U.S. since 19 .....

White Collar Crime Vs. Street Crime
.... it is still called murder.
In both scenarios, there is a defined victim.
The one answer that our politicians give for solving street crime is
more money for the Justice system. More cops, more judges, and definitely more
jails and prisons. There are shows, such as "Cops," that shows America the
"truth" about crime in the US. All the attention is given to street crime.
Unless it is a huge scandal, you will seldom hear of white collar crime through
the media. When white collar crime is reported, it .....

The Importance Of Plea Bargaining In Criminal Trials
.... the fact is that his testimony is simply
verifying the testimonies of other witnesses. In a majority of cases plea
bargains is utilized to ensure that the truly guilty criminal is punished. In
our less than perfect world, plea bargaining is easily the lesser of the evils.
I agree with the definitions submitted by the affirmative speaker.
Americans have always emphasized getting a job done. We place a great
deal of value on efficiency and industry. The government is expected to run
with efficiency .....

Young Offenders
.... the police arrived he
said you can not touch me” . This to me is very sad first off because he is only
11 years old and he raped a girl but the thing I found most shocking and the
rest off the media was that when the police arrived he told them that they could
not touch him. Even though he did committee the crime and he should have been
charged but sadly e was right. This young offenders knows that the young
offenders act is a joke and that is why he committed the crime. He could care
less about what h .....

Handgun Control In The United States
.... a snub-nosed .38 out of his jacket and held the assistant
principal hostage for two hours. Police said the boy was distraught over his
parents' recent separation. (Stanza 19) These were not isolated incidents. All
across America, the number of kids using- and being harmed by-guns is rising at
an alarming rate. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, more than 27,000
youths between 12 and 15 were handgun victims in 1985, up from an average of
16,500 for each of the previous years (Stanza 19). T .....

An Argument For The Legalization Of Drugs, Based On John Stuart Mills' "Revised Harm Principle"
.... of others? Using the example of a casual,
responsible drug user who is a contributing (or non-detracting) member of
society, it is clear that more harm is done to others if the user must resort to
illegal methods to obtain his drugs. The very act of buying drugs is
intrinsically illegal and carries the threat of establishing a criminal record
for the buyer. This can have a devastating effect on his family, his lifestyle,
and his career. The effects on society as a whole include more crowded jai .....

DNA And Crime
.... on clothing, sperm cells found in a vaginal swab taken after a
rape, or root hairs are all available for analysis. Although other body tissues
such as skin cells and saliva can provide genetic information about a person for
Forensic Science purposes, blood is the most useful source of inherited traits.
If the DNA fingerprints produced from two different samples match, the two
samples probably came from the same person.
Here are some examples of court cases where DNA plays an important roll
in the outcome .....

Abortion: Life Or Death Who Chooses?
.... of a bygone Century? It is an incontrovertible
fact of biological science - Make no Mistake - that from the moment of
conception, a new human life has been created.
Only those who allow their emotional passion to overide their
knowledge, can deny it: only those who are irrational or ignorant of
science, doubt that when a human sperm fertilizes a human ovum a new human
being is created. A new human being who carries genes in its cells that
make that human being uniquely different from any and other hum .....

Accounting Ethics
.... making the comparison, a brief explanation why the two
models are chosen is in order. Monopolistic competition has been chosen
for the pre-advertising era because it most closely resembles the market
structure in an extreme sense. The elements of monopolistic competition
are as follows: product differentiation, the presence of large numbers of
sellers, and nonprice competition. Although accounting services between
firms offer very little service differentiation, the absence of
advertising serves a .....

The Threat Of Death
.... this theory are: the severity of
the punishment, various polls of citizens and prisoners, and two in particular
studies.
The most obvious deterring justification is the severity of punishment
(Calebresi 19). This means, put simply, to punish for a crime in a way that the
punishment outweighs the crime. If the punishment for robbing a bank is to
spend one day in jail, then bank robbing would become a daily occurance. On the
same note, if there is a reward for a lost item of jewelry and the rewar .....

Auditor Liability

constitutional argument as well as an economic argument to foster their
point. The main components of their argument are as follows: Limiting
recovery of loss has a detrimental effect on those which are harmed by
alleged negligence. The cost of liability is reasonable when compared to
total revenues, and in light of a CPA's public responsibility. Indemnity
insurance spreads risk in the aggregate therefore removing the element of
risk at the firm level. The threat of litigation pr .....

Capital Punishment
.... for the
offence that he or she is planning, and that what happened to another
individual who committed this offence, can also happen to me.
But individuals who commit any types of crime ranging from auto theft
to 1st-Degree Murder, never take into account the consequences of their
actions. Deterrence to crime, is rooted in the individuals themselves.
Every human has a personal set of conduct. How much they will and will not
tolerate. How far they will and will not go. This personal set of conduct

Computer Crime

Why do they do it, well lets go to a book and see "Avid young
computer hackers in their preteens and teens are frequently
involved in computer crimes that take the form of trespassing,
invasion of privacy, or vandalism. Quite often they are mearly
out for a fun and games evening, and they get entangled in the
illegal use of their machines without realizing the full import of
what they are doing" , I have a hard time believing that so lets see
what a "hacker" .....

Canada's Copyright Law
.... You could rent a movie form the video store, copy and return it,
with no one the wiser.
The problem with copying video and audio tapes is that for every
copy you make the recording artist, the actors, producers and everyone
else who collect royalties from the tapes lose money. If the companies
start to lose money, they raise prices. Thus a vicious circle begins. As
prices go up, fewer people buy original copies. If less people buy the
original cassettes prices will once again rise.
