Investigation of Bodies in Water and Asphyxia

Essay
Abstract
Asphyxia is the blocking off of oxygen to the brain. There are several ways for this phenomenon to take place. These involve strangulation, drowning, positional and traumatic asphyxia, and suffocation. However, for forensic pathologists and police investigators, this is not as simple as it may seem. Asphyxia is a complex occurrence that does not lend itself to a simple classification. There are numerous subtypes and factors that have to be considered in asphyxia-related death investigation. For instance, once a body is found in and extracted from the water, investigators have to look for specific aspects, such as ...

The primary functioning of a gun is violence or aggression against other people regardless of the objective. We need to have strict gun laws to control the widespread ownership, possession, and use of guns. Guns not only lead to the thousands of deaths around the world in the context of murder but also lead to suicide and accidental deaths. Guns are one of the most dangerous weapons to possess because the owners could deliberately or accidentally use the guns on themselves or their families. Although gun activists refer to the right to preserve the safety of the individual, guns ...

INTRODUCTION

Criminal homicide is the act of ending another person’s life by the hand of another (Luckenbill, 1977). There are many different ways in which criminal homicide is defined in the American criminal justice system; different degrees of what constitutes homicide, as well as other mitigating factors, can help to determine the sentencing of an individual or individuals who take part in the act, whether voluntarily or not. This is meant to apply as individualistic a sentencing as possible on the particular situation, instead of making standardized choices for criminal homicide on the whole. All of this leads to an ...

Voluntary Act is a form of crime that results from willing choice as well as independent will. The state statute clearly defines voluntary act as an offence. There have always been arguments on validity of an accident as a voluntary act (Otlowski, 1997). However, analysis of this topic brings in extensive confusion as it is difficult to determine willingness of an individual to cause harm in an accident.

It is extremely difficult to sincerely argue that all accidents are voluntary acts. Accidents are defined by the unwillingness or unpreparedness of an individual in occurrence of an event (Shaw, 2003). In a case ...

Gun control refers to policies that regulate the acquisition and use of firearms. Some countries such as Germany have stringent gun control policies, while others such as the US have more liberal policies regarding firearm possession. The proponents (liberalists) of gun control argue that unrestricted gun ownership exacerbates crime and firearm accidents within the society. They further argue that the Second Amendment, which protects individuals' right to own arms, is irrelevant in the wake of efficient law enforcement agencies (Krouse 6). To them, individuals might need guns only for recreational purposes such as hunting. Conversely, the opponents (conservationists) argue ...

Introduction

The Locus of Control Scale was originally designed by Rotter in 1966. It is used to determine on what people think affects specific outcomes of their actions and life in general. People with an internal focus of control believe that they are able t influence the outcome of their actions, whereas people with an external locus of control believe more in luck and fate rather than themselves (Lefcourt, 1982).

The world consisting of atoms is today’s undeniable reality. Ask any child, “what does the world consist of?” and the answer will be “Of atoms.” This concept is nowadays extremely firmly rooted in our culture because now it holds the status of the scientifically proven fact. However, well up to the 20th century, the world was free of the scientifically proven elementary particles, and there were only theories of what is the world's microscopic structure provided by bright individuals such as philosophers, scientists, and theologians.

In his article “On Being an Atheist,” H.J. McCloskey has argued in many instances that absolute certainty of God’s existence cannot be proved using the “proofs” embedded in classical arguments. According to McCloskey, the classical proofs for God’s existence do not portray Him as the all-knowing, all-powerful, or all-perfect being that Christians perceive Him to be. The existence of evil in a world created by a God with the qualities of being all-knowing, powerful, and perfect leads McCloskey to conclude that atheism would be more comforting than to believe in such a God. McCloskey’s disapproval of ...

Social networks allow and encourage users to publish/share details that should remain private. However, social media companies collect such information both in order to personalize their services and sell it to advertisers (Piirsalu para. 2). Marketers use the information about the users’ interests and preferences to target their products and marketing campaigns. This is worsened by the fact that the collecting of such information presents opportunities for criminals to illegally access and employ the data for abusive purpose (Piirsalu para. 5). This article argues that there are privacy problems inherent in the very business model employed by social media ...
