Abstract

Domestic violence, as its name suggests, involves intimate partner and family violence. The law has historically treated domestic violence as only a secondary issue. The treatment reflects the longstanding notion that family and domestic matters are private and should not be subject to law enforcement interference. Compounding this blasé attitude towards domestic violence was the fact that traditionally, women were considered to belong to their husbands. Until very recently, a husband could not be prosecuted for the rape of his wife. What is important to note is that domestic violence affects all types of persons. There is no one, ...

Introduction

Time has come to treat domestic violence with the seriousness it deserves. The failure by law enforcement officers to react to domestic calls immediately exposes the victim, as well as the community at large, to dangers that may lead to the eventual loss of life. As it has happened in the past, sometimes law enforcement officers do not treat domestic violence as any other crime. The cases of Thurman v. City of Torrington and Castle Rock v. Gonzales point to a failure by the police department to handle domestic violence with the urgency that it needs (Meloy & Miller, 2010). Therefore, ...

Cyberbullying in North America

Cyberbullying is one of the challenges that comes with the wide adoption of information communication technologies in the world. Cyberbullying involves the online posting of rumors about another person with the aim of achieving disdain in other people's minds, or it might go to the degree of expressly recognizing casualties and distributing materials seriously criticizing and demeaning them (Pedersen, 2016). The perpetrators of cyber bullying mostly perform the act again and again intentionally (Zheng, 2010, p. 76). From the subjective view, cyberbullying leads to retraction in society, degradation of the mental state of the victim, poor performance in school ...

The victim, generally, refers to the party that was harmed as a result of the offender’s violation of a criminal law. The key underlying element in this definition is that a person, the offender, is motivated for financial or personal gain to violate a law, rule, regulation or custom. This violation then leads to the injury of another person, the victim. In this sense, the victim is often seen as an unfortunate consequence ...

Hate Crimes: Definitions and Introduction

A “hate crime” are “criminal actions intended to harm or intimidate people because of their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion or other minority group status,” as listed in the works of Herek (1989) and Levin and McDevitt (1993). In the 1990s, the issue of hate crimes, or “bias crimes,” has generated rising attention from activists, policy makers, and social analysts. Much of the amplified concern has displayed an inference in that all criminal activities have adverse impacts for the victim, bias crimes must be considered as a unique case owing to their heightened effects on the victim of the crime ...

Rape is defined as a crime involving one person having sexual intercourse with another person without prior consent, which has most recently applied to male victims, but usually involves physical force or deception to get the victim to submit or become subdued. There are seven theories which describe and define deviant behavior including social control, functionalism, anomie, social disorganization, strain theory, critical theory, and stigma theory. It seems most likely the social control theory can better explain why rapists participate in their form of deviant behavior. This paper will analyze various articles discussing theories related to rapist behavior.

The United States of America has three cardinal branches of the criminal justice system. These include law enforcement agencies like the police, the courts system and the correctional system. Given that it is a democratic country, the United States’ criminal justice system is founded on the tenets of the rule of law. Therefore, all these three critical organs of the government must carry out their constitutional and statutory mandate within the confines of federal and state laws. Indeed, the criminal justice system is configured in a way that it enables both levels of government to function in an efficacious ...

Impact of Cyberbullying

Bullying has been a swiftly growing epidemic in American schools. More and more children are being harassed during lunch, recess, in the halls, and even in class.

Unfortunately, with the introduction of social media networks like Facebook and Twitter, sometimes children cannot escape bullying; the harassment is following them home. It is called cyberbullying. Many believe that cyberbullying is not a big deal. They think the child can avoid the sites, find new sites, or simply shut off their computer all together to avoid the bullying. They ...

It pertains to maltreatment and neglect occurring between married couples, non-married yet intimate partners, and same-sex partners.

The victim may experience loss of self-esteem and could even lead to the victim’s eventual death. When this happens, the victim’s death does not put an end to the whole cycle, ...

Sexual abuse is seen as one of the gravest crimes a person could commit after murder or killing. A victim is physically and sexually tortured or abused by the suspect, either by forced intercourse or similar acts, which often leads to traumatizing effects for the victim. Some would often find victims mentally unstable after the assault, traumatized to see people with the same gender as their attacker or even be with people. Others would become haunted by nightmares, leading them to taking their lives or succumb to insanity. A few may only attempt to recreate the act and become the ...

Bullying is defined as inappropriate aggressive behavior of school going children that poses a threat to their peers. In other words, the imbalance of power is also categorized under bullying. The aggressive behavior has the potential to be repeated frequently. Bullying does not only have problems for the victims, but in the longer term, it may also create psychological problems for people who bully. Aggressive behavior is not always bullying; therefore, in order for a behavior to be categorized as bullying it should include; imbalance of power, threats, spreading rumors, physical or verbal attacks, exclusion of certain individuals, and repetition.

Abstract

The most recent studies on stalking indicate that the typical stalking victim is a non-Hispanic female between 18 and 24. While demographic indicators may not change too much from survey to survey, the means that stalkers use to encroach on their victims’ lives have changed with the times. Indeed, Internet technology and electronic communications methods such as texting and email have given stalkers a new and insidious means of harassing a targeted individual. In fact, the 2006 National Crime Victimization Survey revealed that technology was used in one of every four stalking case. Theorists have shown that lifestyle-exposure and routine activity theories ...

Social engineering and how it affects the IT industry

Introduction
Internet fraud or cyber crime is on the rise. In the past few years the main media of fraud was thought to be only the internet, where criminals used sophisticated software or perpetrate attacks and gain un-authorized access to personal or company’s data. The same fear is still at large but, lately a lot of concern has shifted to social engineering. Social engineering can be perpetrated by use of technology or by use of non technology elements. Still social engineering is a major crime of concern to all stake holders whether in the IT industry or not.

Abstract

Forensic Science has long found important application in a criminal investigation, and its correct usage will enhance its effectiveness in crime detection. The use of forensic science in intelligence has allowed the possibility of crime scene reconstruction, identification of a suspect and the elements therein. Law enforcement has gone a notch higher in crime investigation in the sense that scouring for limited evidence at crime scenes has been made possible long after the perfect crime has taken place. The sole purpose of finding the obscure evidence is to have the criminals responsible brought to book and as a result, ...

Introduction: Domestic violence: profile of an offender

In the past, an act of domestic violence was not considered as a matter that merits the engagement of the law. Though men have pummeled, maltreated, and molested their intimate partners for years, the common comprehension of society was that abuse and maltreatment of women was as a part of the marriage. It was only to the end of the 1970s that domestic violence was understood as a criminal offense that warranted the involvement of the criminal justice system. However, there has been much contention as to the establishment of a general, universally accepted ...

Origin of the statute

Hate crimes are criminal activities motivated partly or entirely by the hostility of the perpetrator who perceives the victim differently (Jacobs & Potter, 2000). These crimes have great impact on the immediate victim and the group to which that victim belongs. Biases against the victim’s ethnicity, sexuality, debility, dialectal, or religion facilitate to commit hate crime. Hate crime statutes aim at stopping bias-motivated outrages. The federal and states have adopted hate crime laws in order to increase penalties for these criminal activities.

In the United States, hate crime statues began early in 1968. After the civil war in America, ...

The problem of identity theft has become a popular crime in the United States and other countries in the last decade. More individuals are losing their personal information because of cyber criminals who source the innocent victim’s social security number, bank account numbers, names, and credit card numbers.

Incest is defined as sexual intercourse between family members who would not be married as a result of their close kinship. Incest can occur between father- daughter/step daughter, mother- son/stepson, between cousins or distant relatives. The prohibition of incest is dependent on culture and religion with most renowned religions frowning upon the idea. As early as the times of the Graeco-Roman Empire, there were reports of incest being practiced even among the monarchs. There is also evidence that there was widespread incest in the United Kingdom but it was not until 50years ago that the legislation outlawing incest was introduced. ...

DEATH AND DYING
Introduction
Death, being the last stage of a person’s life, is one of the most controversial stages to a person. Many people hold a different view towards death and it is in fact one of the topics that many people avoid, and the main reason is because death is always received with a negative attitude and a sad mood.

Bullying has been a problem in schools for many years. It can take many different forms and is carried out for various reasons. To gain a true understanding of bullying, it is important to examine not only the reasons for someone becoming a victim, but also the reasons for someone becoming a bully.

Accordingly, defamation, in essence, refers to the dissemination or publication of false information to another that injures or harms the reputation of a person, groups or organization (Solove, et al., 159). More specifically, defamation requires the occurrence ...

On the Texan Death Row, how many inmates have expressed sorrow and remorse, and how many of them have expressed anger.

Understandably, if the prisoner is aware of their innocence or guilt, then they are far more likely to act accordingly: if an innocent man was charged and sentenced to be placed on death row amongst the absolute scum of the Earth, it would be understandable for him to express a lot of anger. However, for the prisoners who have been charged and their innocence not proven, some express remorse whilst others express anger anyway. The purpose of this essay ...

Introduction

The Rational Choice Theory is one of the most common and widely accepted theories in criminology. This theory is useful to deter criminal activity by changing the environment that might invite the attention of criminal elements. This theory has a crime displacement application. Most of the initiatives for crime prevention use the Rational Choice Theory. This theory proves that criminals make a rational choice when selecting targets by weighing the pros and cons (Akers, 1990).

Origins of the theory

The history of this theory traces back to the inspiration of Cesare Bonesana-Beccaria’s book, On Crimes and Punishment. Beccaria contended that people decided ...
