Guilt Case Studies Samples For Students

What would you like to achieve in completing your Case Study?

After reading the case study on Sen. Jim Norman’s acceptance of his guilt after committing an unethical thing through acceptance of a gift of $500, 000 and not disclosing when submitting the financial disclosure form in 2010 really meant a lot to me on the issue of ethics. Unethical practices often bore holes into ones consciousness and evoke feelings of guilt. Sen. Jim Norman was constantly haunted by that issue from all sides by the media and his people, thereby coming up with the decision of putting his past behind once and for all through settling that amount.

Jasmine is diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), which is the most common form of pediatric cancers. It is caused by malignant transformations that occur in hematopoietic stem cells, making them undifferentiated cells with increased longevity. In ALL, those cells are called lymphoid cells, and their rate of proliferation causes fast growth and destruction of healthy bone marrow. Because of Jasmine’s age, the chances for an initial remission can be estimated at 95 percent (Rytting, 2012). However, achieving a complete cure is not a likely outcome, and an open and honest communication with Jasmine and her parents about her condition ...

The resignation of Port Hueneme Police Chief Kathleen Sheehan amid claims of improprieties brings forward the ethical issue: whether or not it was the right thing to do (Martinez 2). Was resignation the most ethical solution to the problem Chief Sheehan was facing? Since there is no knowing the truth until she herself lays it out into the open. One point to consider, though, is if she was not guilty of the allegations thrown at her, why did she give in and sign an agreement with interim City Manager Richard Velthoen? Why did she resign without fuss? Her action ...

Abstract

Intoxication is being in a state of alcoholic or narcotic intoxication. The government is increasingly sensitive to the cases of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, explaining that the drunk driver is endangering both for their life, health and property, and other road users. However, as practice shows, the number of the detained drunk drivers increases dramatically around the holidays.
If the circumstances of the crime are clear, and in a short time collected all the necessary evidence, the Prosecutor may apply to the court to hear the case under expedited proceedings. Basically, criminal cases associated with DUI are dealt ...

INTRODUCTION

Robert Feldman (2010) defines lifespan development as a study that analyzes different patterns of change and growth in behavior that happens throughout an individual’s entire life. Though multiple theories exist to explain lifespan development, all specialists agree that both environment and heredity contribute to human development. For our case study, we would focus more on the environmental aspect of both Tayib and Rachel. The environmental aspect basically describes the surrounding circumstances an individual grew up with. It is largely affected by the people around them and the accompanying cultural circumstance they are currently in.
Twenty-nine-year old Tayib is ...

Re: Main Issues Involved in Key United States Supreme Court Cases

Since 1963, the United States Supreme Court has taken an expansive view of Due Process as it applies to criminal defendants. A number of important Supreme Court decisions have addressed the scope of a Prosecutor’s constitutional duties in light of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Although the Prosecutor stands in an adversarial position to the criminal defendant, the Prosecutor is sometimes required to disclose various forms of evidence that may be favorable to the defendant. These cases touch upon the delicate balance between a vigorous Prosecution and the defendant’s right to a fair trial ...

Interview Techniques

Introduction
Law enforcement officers use interviews and interrogations to get information from criminal suspects. The two aspects of communication are important in deriving needed information. The two techniques are may be different in a number of ways. Interrogations are characterized by verbal aggressiveness while interviews engage a non-aggressive dialogue. Both the parties in an interview contribute to the conversation without prejudice. However, it seems that, in an interrogation, the verdict is already determined before the questioning begins. Sometimes officers engage in unorthodox tactics of eliciting information from suspects. Concerns have been raised about officers bullying suspects during interrogations. Interrogations may ...

[Writer’s Name]

The setting is of a true story of a group of hikers on the Himalayas who came across a Sadhu, or a holy man on their way up. The group comprised Japanese, Swiss, New Zealanders, some porters and Sherpas who were very goal-oriented about their climb. They all come across the Sadhu, who was severely hypothermic and very close to death. All the group members were at different stages of their ascent and had the moral obligation of helping the Sadhu. They all did their little bit as far as it was convenient for them, but did not go the ...

Introduction

Nathaniel Hawthorne ranks among the world’s major authors. His proficiency in the art of literature, particularly short fiction is unmatched. Two of his most famous works are Young Goodman Brown and The Minister’s Black Veil. In these two short fictional stories, Hawthorne portrays a romantic view of sin and people. Like many other romantic literature pieces, the setting of the stories is dark and gloomy. Religion plays a huge role in both stories. History reveals that the American nation was partly founded through the ideals of religion. From its inception, religion has helped to shape and define the modern ...

KPMG was investigated from 2001 onwards by the IRS because the company failed to properly regulate and monitor the use of tax havens. Complex accounting and auditing schemes challenged the company’s corporate governance and ethics. The professional code of conduct of all the staff and partners were often overlooked for business that was capitalist and maximised profit at the expense of the reputation and integrity of KPMG. The new chairman of the company faced a difficult ethical dilemma and created alternatives that would result in the best action to save the company and to minimise the consequences for ...

I have rarely heard of unethical conduct by a juror, but I found a recent article on ctpost dated May 25, 2016, entitled “Juror dismissed after taking court exhibit” by Daniel Tepfer. In Bridgeport, Louisiana, a jury had convicted Amelia Rhodes of “possession of a weapon in a motor vehicle, reckless driving and using a motor vehicle without the owner’s permission”. The jury was set to determine the defendant’s guilt on another charge a couple days later. However, prior to determining the guilt or innocence of the defendant, the jury foreman was dismissed from the jury after ...

Introduction

The purpose of this paper is to develop a comprehensive nursing care plan in relation to a case study. The nursing care plan is a structural framework that is developed by a health care provider for the purpose of ensuring harmonized communication that will eventually result to secure and valuable care for the patient (Doenges, M. E., Moorhouse, M. F., & Murr, A. C., 2005). Maternal health care is a sensitive area of health care provision as it involves handling two lives at once; that of the mother and the unborn child. In this case, developing a maternal care plan requires adequate familiarization with the psychological, ...

Using someone’s credit card without card owner’s permission is an offense. If it used accidentally and after realizing the same, card owner is compensated accordingly then the act may not be punishable but in case where the card is used several times without permission of credit card owner, the said act amounts to theft. The amount used, and frequency of using such stolen cards is taken into account by courts while deciding the guilt and punishment in such cases. Facts and circumstances of every case are observed in totality and then it is decided that any act ...

Executive Summary

This case study looks at the increasing numbers of as yet unsentenced (and therefore potentially either innocent or guilty of any offence) young people on remand in Queensland, where – in common with other states in Australia – “Efforts are primarily focused on the rehabilitation of young offenders so that even after the establishment of guilt, detention is seen as a last resort.”(Mazerolle & Sanderson, March 2008) (p.1). Because custodial remand brings young people formally into the justice system and into close contact with what Mazerolle & Sanderson refer to as “deviant peers” (p.1), it can increase the possibility of (re)offending, too. ...

Growth and development is a steady and continuous process that starts at conception and ends when one dies. Each development stage is defined by certain characteristics and challenges. A child is supposed to overcome developmental challenges before proceeding to the next stage. Adolescent stage is one of the developmental stages characterized with physical, emotional, and physiological changes. Majority of the teenagers belong in this stage and are at a higher risk of contracting STDs such as HIV/AIDS, Syphilis and gonorrhea, and teenage pregnancy as they are sexually active. A report released by US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (2006) indicated ...

What are the key assessment issues to consider?

The first issue that is crucial to consider is the fact that the client is fatigued. The lack of sleep has worn her out hence affecting her energy levels. Thus, the client can only speak in a low voice. Equally significant is the fact that the client might be developing an addiction to alcohol. This has had profound effects on her body since the blood tests indicated abnormally high levels of liver enzymes. Another point of concern is the psychological state of the client. Her mental stability is quite questionable. She is also under a lot of guilt for the accident ...

Question One: From the story, what do you understand by the term utopia? Does Omelas give the definition?

The term utopia means Omelas even though this one is not lifeless as the word may depict. The author notes that the residents here lives luxurious with full of leisure. People here do not believe in discrimination or even believe on destruction and this is indeed the definition of utopia.

Question Two: What is the narrator’s opinion of Omelas?

The narrator is so sympathetic with the people of Omelas and even going further to name the child’s plight as the source of all compassion in the town. The opinion of the author is that it is very strange or rather unfair to give out the happiness of ...

When people make their choices in life, they are influenced by the society that surrounds them by changing their social conditions in ways that may at some point encumber or even support their life with family. Interplay exists between an individual’s family and the society, and throughout the adulthood stage, an individual makes choices that are family related. Development is the movement, growth, and transition made by an individual from one state to another in life. This research has been able to state clearly the stages made by people who are developing from one stage to another. This ...
