In the case of Nova Mink v Trans Canada Airlines , the High Court ruled that airplanes that are governed by the Air Traffic Rules which are ruled by competent authority shall be subject to common law duties of care, unless otherwise excluded by legislation that expressly provides for an exclusion. This is regardless of the fact that they cover a wider range of mobility, both in vertical and horizontal settings. In the case of aeroplanes, they cannot be analogous to railways since the latter is excused when operating in accordance with statutory rules including accidents which occurred in level crossings ...

1. Outline the categories of violence as described by Jamil Salmi.

According to Salmi, the phenomenon of violence has many characteristics, with particular causes per characteristic and with particular causational agents per cause. Violence also exists in several forms, including direct violence, indirect violence, repressive violence, and alienating violence.

Direct violence is characterized by any physical, in-person act causing intended harm. In this category would be included A) any act resulting in death (homicide, genocide, infanticide); and B) any “coercive or brutal” (Module 6, 44) at threatening or resulting in physical or psychological damage or suffering—including rape, spousal abuse, political imprisonment, for example.

Indirect violence is characterized by ...

Introduction

With respect to law of torts, any action carried out intentionally and that results in causing either physical or emotional injury to another person qualifies as an intentional tort. On the other hand, negligence tort entails causing harm or injury to a third party as a result of personal carelessness. According to Arthur and Barner (2007), civil law requires that every individual conduct his or her activities in a manner that induces no harm to surrounding persons. In this context, the need to conduct one’s affairs in a safe manner constitutes the element of duty. Failure to act safely and within expected ...

Carmel: Is it ever right then to harm another person? Say that there is a situation where a person has given his promise to protect a child from harm. And say as the child walks upon a road, lo, a robber comes and puts the child in harm’s way? Would the ethical, correct moral thing to do be to protect the child from harm even if it means inflicting harm upon the robber.

Socrates: Seen from that angle Carmel, this issue is only seen in the half-light. You identify correctly that the man’s promise to protect the child is a binding promise. Indeed, ...

Question Two

There exists a close relationship between the police and the prosecutor that is usually mandated by the law. The prosecutors and the police usually interact during the criminal investigations. Specifically, the prosecutors can request the police to carry out certain criminal investigations by pursuing a given approach of inquiry. Prosecutors and police officers can therefore consult each other in the ongoing cases. In most instances, the consultation arrangement is usually informal and in most jurisdictions consultations between the police and prosecutors do not exist. Generally, the police carry out investigations regarding various criminal incidences in almost total independence. Once the police ...

Prevention is better than cure a wise say goes. This is what researchers in this article opt to pass across to the people. They spent time researching on parent’s decisions on their children’s immunization. Research methodology used here is quantitative research; this is seen by the use of numerical data in providing information about the number of people with their opinions. Quantitative approach has also been employed, and it is evident in the procedures of data collection. The use of tables, calculation, numerical and focus groups proves that the quantitative research approach was employed.

Inchoate offences relate to the steps in the direction of the commission of another crime. These steps also referred to as attempts are made in preparation for doing a crime and for that are considered crimes (Schmalleger et. al, 2010). Though generally for criminal liability to accrue the intent and the act must take place, these attempts constitute criminal conduct thus the liability attaches. The justification is that harm would have occurred had the crime materialized thus punishment serves to prevent the occurrence of the harm.

On the other hand, parties to a crime relate to the principle that a person can ...

The prosecutors and police have the common interest cut down crime, arrest criminals and offer fast, sure and particular punishment. Therefore, prosecutors and police are expected to have open communication to facilitate their functions. The two organizations have different responsibilities, but exhibit conflicting views over certain case dispositions. However, their conflicts are considered as evidence for the effective functioning of checks and balances mechanism of the criminal justice system. Therefore, the police should accommodate such checks from prosecutors while prosecutors are expected to provide supervisory functions together with vivid and reasonable explanations. The police are held responsible for their ...

An ethical dilemma is any circumstance in which direct moral values are put in conflict in deciding which path of action is correct or incorrect (Pozgar, 2011). Ethical decision-making procedures, however, provide a useful framework in which to understand the conflicts, evaluate the alternatives and decide on the best course of action to take in the specific situation confronting the decision maker. Indeed, while employing a method of ethical decision-making to an ethical dilemma may not provide all the answers but it should help clarify the issues enough so that a means of resolution will be obvious or easier to see.

The patient is the ultimate decision maker concerning his/her medical care. It is the patient who gives the final word on whether to undergo a recommended medical procedure or treatment. The purpose of the physician in patient care is just to determine the best treatment for the patient’s problem based on their medical knowledge and judgment and present the recommendation to the patient to seek for their consent (Parker, 2013). The physician is to provide the patient with the necessary information on their condition and the treatment recommended, its benefits, possible risks, the complications in the procedure and if ...

Restorative justice is a justice theory that focuses on repairing the harm resulting from the criminal behavior. Conventionally, justice system has concentrated on issuing punishment to the offenders without giving them opportunity to face their crime and apprehend the effects that their actions have caused on the victims. However, restorative justice allows the victims to be included in the process thus concentrating on the offender’s action to the community and the victims (Great Britain, 2008). Therefore, this theory is built to help the offender to have compassion and understanding with the victims and also provide closure to the victims.

Pain tolerance has been defined as the maximum level of pain that a person can undergo. For various reasons, pain tolerance is higher in man than in women, and it is speculated that this is because of the traditional need for display of masculinity by men while women tend to be more expressive of their pain and will thus most likely not withstand the same level physical pain as men. This paper seeks to develop an objective psychological test to be used for the measure of pain tolerance among different populations of interest, with particular focus on the pain tolerance ...

We live in an age of medicine filled with technological wonders – and difficulties. Andre and Velasquez (2010) state that “medical technology has given us the power to sustain the lives (or, some would say, prolong the deaths) of patients whose physical and mental capabilities cannot be restored, whose degenerating conditions cannot be reversed, and whose pain cannot be eliminated.” This poses a medical and ethical dilemma that has pitted us one against the other – should we allow the people in these positions to choose to die, or do we have a moral obligation to preserve life at all ...

The collision between Davis and Esposito which resulted to an injury is referred to as the tort of negligence. The collision led to physical harm to Esposito and left her with a permanent physical impairment. This was after she was knocked down to the ground, an action that was unintentional and yet the incident could be predicted. Under the tenets of the tort of negligence, Davis is accountable for negligence and needs to provide remedies for the injuries sustained by Esposito.

A close examination of the circumstances of this case reveals that there were three basic elements which indicate that ...

I have learnt that there is need to always communicate when a terrorism event or a natural disaster occurs. This is because the organizational members and the public at large have the right to be informed on the status of the crisis and to know what the disaster team is doing about the disaster, which has occurred. When a crisis occurs, people normally get confused while others begin to fear for their lives and so they need an assurance that everything is under control.

Another thing, which I also noted as important, is that failure to plan is planning to fail and ...

Risks and Hazards share a very confusing relationship as they are thought to be same by many hence they are used interchangeably. Bit practically, Risks and Hazards are quite different from each other. While a Hazard is defined as the potential for harm to people, property, or the environment; a risk is defined as an estimate of the probability of a hazards-related incident or exposure occurring and the severity of harm or damage that could result (Manuele, p. 111, 2004)

The definitions quite clearly and vividly the difference between these two terms.

In simpler terms while Hazard is a potential danger, risk measures the possibility of how much and how much can the hazard actually harm. ...

1. The function of Bentham’s hedonistic calculus is to provide a moral theory of what is right and wrong, based on the idea that what gives the most pleasure and happiness and the least pain to the world is the correct action. An example of how to use this theory is for legislators to create laws that would cause more suffering and pain to criminals than the pleasure their crime provided. An advantage of using the calculus is tries to provide the best results for the most people. The inherent problem with the the calculus is that some of ...

Intention and knowledge of a crime cannot be of the same type of mens-rea. For example, murder and culpable homicide are intentional and knowledge based respectively. The intention based mens rea places mental element of murder foremost as an intention to cause death. At a lesser degree is an intention to cause a specific bodily injury which the offender knows will cause death of the victim. This is almost the same as the mental element for murder as the offender knowingly causes the bodily injury that it can cause death. As such, the offender is liable to be convicted for murder.

Under criminal law, false arrest occurs when one party holds another wrongfully and takes them to custody against their will. This can be committed by both law enforcement agencies and private persons. It is a crime to restrict wrongfully or limit the personal freedom of another person against their consent (Rix, 1995). Anyone doing this commits a crime of false imprisonment. The remedies available to the victim of false imprisonment depend on the harm caused. In most cases, however, the victims have the remedy of damages.

Restoration is a process whereby the different parties that have a stake in a particular offence collectively resolve the best way to deal with the offence’s aftermath and the implication that it might have in the future. The purpose of restoration is to essentially restore into the community a group of offenders and victims who have resolved their conflicts.

As a crime prevention response or tactic, restoration strives to understand crime in its social context. It challenges the legal authorities to examine the root causes of violence and crime so that such cycles can be broken. The restoration approach towards crime prevention is ...

The legal term Mala prohibita is a Latin word that means something is wrong because it is not allowed by law.

The classical school of criminology is based on Beccaria and Bentham. The main idea was that every person is only an animal when it comes to criminal affairs. Beccaria and Bentham considered that a person has a free will to do everything one wants. Hence, is a crime is committed, it was only a person’s will to commit it. In such a case, a punishment for every case will be determined only by the crime. Besides, the graveness of the punishment should be determined not by the harm caused to a victim, but by the harm caused to the society.
The positivist school of ...

If I were to judge my leadership style, I would most definitely agree that it is participative in nature. Why I say so is because I believe that two or more brains is better than one, and so, to overcome any contingencies that may arise during operations, I look at the collective views of the feedbacks from my team members that are discussed before taking any management decision-making. Of course, there are other styles of leadership management that are equally effective, but I am happy giving my team members the privilege to involve in decision-making. By inculcating a ...

Many people who suffer from a substance addiction also suffer from a mental health problem at the same time and the difficulties they are faced with far outweigh the effects of either alone. Often, only one of the two problems is identified and that depends on the primary problems treated where the diagnosis is given and which problem is most prominent. When one of the problems is severe it may eclipse the other problems the individual is suffering from.

Although one problem may be considered primary and the rest secondary, this does not mean that the individual isn’t experiencing serious ...

In my view, the four students acted against the ethical principles and theory of the nursing practice. This is true given that the students violated the principle of beneficence, least harm, as well as the theory of deontology. According to the principle of beneficence, the nursing students are expected "to do good" both for patients and the society in general (Benjamin & Curtis, 2010). It aims at ensuring that people obtain the greatest level of good. Another principle, which is almost similar to that of beneficence, is that of least harm where the student's actions should result ...

Our home is refuge from the world’s danger, abuse and unfairness. However, sometime, our own home is the source of abuse from our parents, siblings or relatives.

Under the second maxim, ethical actions are those that treat people with dignity rather than as means. Under the third maxim, all ethical actions are universally accepted by all human beings.

Solitary Confinement: Forced isolation-issues and concerns

One of the more disquieting trends prevailing in the American correctional system is the rising instances of drawn out and at times fixed practices of cruel solitary isolation in “supermax” prisons to detain prisoners that the government deem as extremely dangerous. Majority of these prisoners are detained for extended periods in solitary confinement facilities. In a number of states and in the Federal correctional system, there are a number of inmates that have been literally sent to harsh solitary confinement for all of their sentences in prison. For example, a set of prisoners in the Ohio correctional system have been designated ...

Indonesia, being found on the Pacific Ring of Fire, a region with a considerable measure of tectonic movement, need to adapt to the consistent danger of volcanic eruptions, floods, earthquakes and tsunamis.
