Rehabilitation of mentally ill in prisons and jails: issues and concerns

The California Department of Corrections (CDC) in 2005 added the term “rehabilitation” as a part of the agency’s official title, becoming the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, or the CDCR. However, the change in title did not result in a change of philosophy in the treatment of prisoners in the United States. Though the reintegration of the methodology of rehabilitation officially entered the regime of the CDRC, there is little or no evidence that the methodology has significantly changed (Berkeley- University of California, 2009, p. 277).
Berkebile (2010, p.1) reported that by 2009, California’s penal facilities ...

Introduction

In the modern world, human trafficking is a problem that causes humanitarian concern. Victims of human trafficking have endured unimaginable suffering. Humanitarian aid workers have often been on the forefront to salvage the situation. However, their efforts have been frustrated since some law enforcement agents and politicians support this illegal activity. The fight against human trafficking in the United States can be traced back to 1999 when the Congress raised an alarm over the issue. Unfortunately, the vice still persists although the number of victims has reduced. This therefore raises several questions about human trafficking as it affects the well-being ...

A growing number of probation officers, judges, prosecutors as well as other juvenile professionals are advocating for a juvenile justice system which is greatly based on restorative justice. These groups of people have been frustrated by the policy uncertainty between retribution and treatment as well as unrealistic and unclear public expectations. As a primary mission, the balanced approach or policy allows juvenile justice systems together with its agencies to improve in their capacity of protecting the community and ensuring accountability of the system and the offenders. It enables the youths to become productive and competent citizens. This guiding philosophical framework for ...

- Introduction
Establishing justice for the victim of a crime is one of the purposes of the legal justice system; it is a founding basis upon which other legal principles are built. There is a difference between justice and revenge, however; and revenge is often the topic of discussion when including victims in the legal process is concerned, particularly in the sentencing phase. The discussion here will center around the question of whether the victim or victims should be involved in the sentencing process, given their close emotional connection with the crime in question.

Introduction

Human trafficking continues to be a persistent problem in the United States of America. Every year, tens of thousands of innocent people are trafficked into and out of the country, either willingly or unwillingly. The rates of trafficking are greater in some states than others with data currently indicating that Georgia and Florida are two of the states that have the highest rates of human trafficking. South Carolina is also another state that experiences relatively high rates of human trafficking. To curb these high rates of human trafficking, a special task force that exclusively deals with human trafficking cases and that ...

POLICE RETENTION 2
Introduction
Maintaining an adequate police personnel level is one of the most prominent challenges currently facing the field of law enforcement. The supply and demand for competent officers are going to be changed due to intensifying law enforcement errands, escalating attrition and declining resources. These challenges might have initiated throughout the latest economic recession and actually worsened as the economy improved (Wilson & Weiss, 2014). The question arises whether the durable obligation of applicants and current officers will continue in times of economic development since enrollment and retention of officers have both become an escalating ...

The world has experienced an extraordinary internet growth since the last millennium. There has been a considerable measure put in place to adapt to this growth. The vacuum could be so unhealthy if the law did not catch up with the trend (Susan, 2005). The Americans in their bid to secure their fundamental rights and freedom in this new era of information technology adopted the fourth amendment to their Constitution.
Nonetheless, the internet age has made the amendment so porous and almost worthless. The advent of cybercrime has brought up the modern violation of the fourth amendment (Susan and ...

Introduction

The purpose of this study is to determine the deterrent effect of the death penalty or capital punishment in the commission of future crimes. Most of the criminal experts believe that the justification for the imposition of the death penalty against criminals should be for retributive grounds and to make the criminals suffer the consequences of their actions. Thus, when a person kills another, the retributive effect of capital punishment or the death penalty is take the life of the murderer (Radelet & Akers, 1996). The main reason for the imposition of the death penalty is to discourage the murderers to ...

Child sexual abuse is an issue facing the society with many of the victims failing to report of such instances due to the fear of being seen lesser in the society. As a result, many of sexual abuse victims fail to disclose the issue or report it when it is too late to handle (Bolen 165). Many of the children feel confused, ashamed and fail to know the nature and extent of the act. Although it is difficult to understand whether a child was sexually abused, parents may understand this by observing the behaviours of their children (Winters 189). Some of ...

Introduction

The topic that was chosen for this research study is the death penalty. The occurrence of heinous crimes and rise in the criminality rate supports the restoration of death penalty. Many of the death penalty advocates believe that is a legitimate sanction against murderers for retributive purposes. The more compelling reason to restore the death penalty is the positive claims on its deterrent effect to future crimes. Thus, the punishment can be regarded as a lawful discipline to discourage hardened criminals from their wrongdoings.
This topic was chosen because there are several countries around the globe which questioned the legitimacy ...

Tax Research Project 2

Introduction:
In 1976, Congress amended the tax law to include Section 280A (Lawyer, 1985) in the Internal Revenue Code. Congress’ reason for the amendment was due to concerns that people were renting out their vacation homes so that they could deduct personal expenses that would not, under normal circumstances, be deductible (Lawyer, 1985). Section 280A required vacation home owners to assign expenses connected with the vacation home either to personal use or rental use. Congress apparently hoped that Section 280A would limit or control the business deductibles for expenses sustained on a vacation home during the tax year when ...

Oliver L. Brown, et. al. vs. The Board of Education of Topeka, et. Al
The Declaration of Independence stated that all men are equal, but this was not the case when it came to the education of American children before this case was taken to court. At the time of the lawsuit, there was segregation in elementary schools in Topeka, Kansas and many other states like Washington, Delaware, South Carolina and Virginia. NAACP decided to help the children of the blacks who had been denied the chance to go to all white schools. The Board of Education was ...

The capital punishment has become a basis for serious conflict in the modern world because it does not provide freedom to experience grace of God to the criminals. The criminals are humans at a fundamental, and therefore, they have to be given the opportunity to heal their spirits. The supporters of the capital punishment argue that murderers must pay with their lives for the crimes that they have committed. The old testament of Bible wants the justice system to prevail in the world that can take an eye for an eye approach. The latest Biblical testament works in order to promote ...

Painting and modeling

Whenever people are isolated from their peers in society, they experience a strong urge to prove themselves worthy of their inclusion. Extreme cases of social repression causes the victims (the disabled people) to get into desperation that leads to protests and activism. Such desperate measures, however, do not help the victims to qualify for inclusion in the social classes they target so they can feel normal (like everybody else seems to enjoy normality). For instance, most activities normal children participate in, may not be open to those with special needs. The frustration builds and causes not only bitterness and hatred but ...

Theoretical Framework

This study will apply control theory to make a comparison between internal and external appointed CEOs in Vietnam and come up with a conclusion on whether performance of CEOs is dependent on the mode of appointment, and the motivation factors that lead to the choice of mode of appointment. The theory states that performance of any company depends on the mode of CEO appointment embraced by a company. Companies with internally appointed CEO are known to be more profitable than companies with externally appointed CEOs. Researchers relates this to the accountability and competence of internally appointed CEOs compared with externally appointed CEO ...

Introduction

Criminal justice system issues are studied nowadays and will be studied until humankind exists. The point is that such issues are rather controversial. Some people state that we are only humans and we are not allowed to judge others. On the other hand, there are those who are always unsatisfied with verdicts and state that sentences should be stricter. I am studying the issue of capital punishment for juveniles. In my opinion, this issue is significant to study because there are many discussions on this topic. There are those who state that juveniles should not be punished so strict. ...

Human trafficking is an issue, which comes from ancient times, when Egyptians made their slaves built famous pyramids and Romans exploited Greeks in order to fill the gap in their own education. Times changed and every human is born free and able to choose his own path. However, modern slavery though illegal, takes its place and poses a great problem of the modern society. So personally for me this acute issue is worth being discussed and given attention to.
According to the definition taken from the official website of the Department of Homeland security human trafficking is viewed as ‘a ...

In the journal titled Mapping the Spatial Influence of Crime Correlates: A Comparison of Operationalization Schemes and Implications for Crime Analysis and Criminal Justice Practice, Caplan Joel acknowledges the variety of independent variables that have significant direct correlation with particular crime outcomes that decades of research in the field of criminology have identified. The author admits that despite tremendous amount of research in criminology, researchers still understand little about correlates and research factors. He reiterates that there is a meager understanding of the manners in which the factors and correlates of crime become applicable in ways that represent their spatial ...

CHAPTER I

I. INTRODUCTION A. Conflict Theory and Racial Profiling in Drug Related Cases
The problem of racially biased arrest is getting more serious. According to the New York Times Editorial Board (2013), updated federal data show that this problem “is far more extensive that was previously known — and is getting worse.” On a national average, the Blacks are nearly four times as likely to be arrested for possession of marijuana as compared to the Whites. This disparity is even more pronounced in Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota, states where Blacks are eight times as likely to be arrested compared to other ...

Background

Witness Protection Programs are an extension of law enforcement that is shrouded in secrecy. Originally developed to protect organized crime witnesses, these programs now have wider application (UN, 2008). In criminal cases involving members of organized crime, witnesses testify at risk to their own lives, or personal safety, as well as those close to them. This is not the only group with whom a witness may find themselves, and their families, in peril. Over the years, Witness Protection has evolved to also include other well-resourced individuals and groups who are facing criminal conviction, such as despots and war criminals finding ...

Human trafficking is defined as the recruitment, transportation, harbouring or receipt of individuals by means of coercion, abduction, deception, fraud or abuse of power of a state of vulnerability for the aim of exploitation. It is estimated that over 600,000 to 800,000 individuals (men, women and children) are trafficked across borders each year. Trafficking victims suffer physiological and physical harm. The issue of language barrier, insufficient knowledge about the law and the frequency that trafficking takes place presents authorities with significant challenges in aiding victims and bringing traffickers to justice.
Human trafficking is a global issue that affects ...

And their Effect on the Reduction of Human Trafficking

Introduction
Human trafficking has been defined by Clawson et al as “modern day slavery” and it is a crime that affects every nation of the world (2009). As a crime it is most commonly associated with the women folk and little children who find themselves traded for the purpose of sexual or labor intensive services. The Citizens for Community Values (n.d.) stated that human trafficking does in fact go beyond sex and labor to other forms of exploitation. Agreeing with that definition the arm of The United Nations that handle unfair treatment of human beings have described trafficking as “the ...

Should English be made the official language of the USA?

An official language of a nation/state/any other jurisdiction is a language that has been given a special legal status, and is generally used by the government in all courts, parliament, administration etc. in that area (“Official language” – Wikipedia, 2013). The question of whether or not English should be made the official language of the United States of America has been debated upon since 1780. In fact, an amendment to the Constitution is proposed in almost every meeting of Congress, asking for English to be made the official language of the country (“Languages of the United States” – Wikipedia, 2013). This thesis presents the ...

Gun control is one of the most divisive topics in American political culture today. Because of the ambiguity of the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, many people have different opinions on gun control and the appropriate level of gun control in the United States. While there are many good arguments both for and against gun control, it is important to look at the many different facets of the issue before coming to the inevitable conclusion that gun control is an unnecessary evil in American culture today.
Many people decry American culture as overtly violent, and too ...

One faces numerous challenges when conducting an academic research. This is because producing a perfect research requires one to go through a complicated process.

Drug testing in the workplace is a widely contested concern that continues to gain importance among various groups including employers, professional bodies, worker associations and government. There are multiple ethical and legal issues surrounding this practice. Existing literature on this issue presents mixed results as regards its desirability (Carpenter, 2006). The prevalence of drug abuse among workers in the U.S alone is alarming. The National Survey on drug Use and Health observed that in 2004 for instance, 75% of drug abusers in the country are workers (Cholakis & Roger, 2007). The implications of such findings are likely to be of significance ...

Introduction

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (2010) defines burglary as the unlawful entry into a structure in order to commit theft or a felony. The term structure refers to offices, apartments, houseboats used as homes, barns or railroad cars. It however does not refer to cars or ships. This entry need not be forceful. Burglary is classified into three forms; forcible entry, attempted forcible entry and non-forcible unlawful entry where no force is applied.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (2010) reports approximately 2,199,125 burglaries in 2009. This is less by 1.3% in comparison to 2008. This is however higher ...

Introduction

Native Americans are the American Indians who live in the United States. When you look at the indigenous people of Americans in a legal perspective, it is evident that they stand unique in the United States legal system. The Native Americans are divided into various tribes which are considered to be politically independent or sovereign nations which exist within the boundaries of the United States. In the early 1990s, the Native Americans tribal governments controlled two percent of the lands in the U.S. the lands are located under the tribal jurisdiction act and are therefore known as Indian country.

Capital Punishment, also has the name, death penalty, is a legal procedure in which an individual faces a death sentence as punishment for his or her crime. The crimes under capital punishments arise from penal codes of respective countries. Each nation has a defined penal code system, normally enshrined in the constitution. The use of death penalty as a form of punishing the most dreadful of crimes dates back to the Roman times. For instance, beheading was common practice for punishing murderers and deserters during war. However, as several countries settled into the nations we know today, death penalty gradually reduced, and diminished ...

Major global crimes and criminal issue affecting international justice systems

The rise and growth of global crimes is dated back, after the cold war, where people adopted a capitalism and individualism way of conducting their operations. They include, money laundering, drug trafficking, arms smuggling, extortion, fraud schemes, human tracking bribery among others. These crimes have hit highest levels because of the post-cold war effects, which criminal have capitalized; lessened political and economic barriers. In addition, the advancement in new technology has also played a vital role in enhancing their criminal activities.

Teen Gang Violence in the Community

Teenage gangs sometimes called juvenile gangs have been a historical problem in the United States (US). That is because some change in society starts the rise or the fall of certain types of gangs and also affects their membership numbers. One of the causes in the US has been immigration which causes two basic types of gangs to band together: the local teenagers already living in the area and the new teenage immigrants to the area. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) defines the difference between street gangs and the neighborhood or local gangs ...

What are the effects of the internet and social networks on Cyber bullying and to what extent has Cyber bullying been experienced among the youths?

Thesis Statement

Bullying is not a new terminology, and especially among the youths. It is a vice that has been in existence for long but one that is manifesting itself on new platforms with the advancement in technology. Some forms of bullying like nicknaming and stereotyping have stood ignored by adults; however, reality reveals that though mere, such bullying is as phoney as the physical bullying. It is never clear where third parties like parents or even legal ...

Jury Nullification

“You . . . police the Police. You police them by your verdict. You are the ones to send the message. Nobody else is going to do it in this society. You . . . are the ones in war; you are the ones on the front line” Johnnie Cochran, 1995 O.J. Simpson trial, on jury nullification
Jury nullification refers to a jury’s decision to return a verdict of “not guilty” even when the jury believes that the defendant is guilty of the criminal charges. In essence, the jury “nullifies” a law that it does not want to apply to the defendant, either because the jury ...

Qualitative problem statement

Counterfeit goods in the market have caused a lot of havoc both on trader’s and manufactures of original goods. Production of these goods denies the producers of genuine goods to earn money from their goods: this is because counterfeit goods may come at lower prices than genuine goods. Consumers have had their fair share of the problems caused by the goods. Counterfeit goods do not last that long. Thus, due to the problems caused by counterfeit goods it is wise to do a research on it (Lin 2011).

The number of counterfeit goods on the market has increased in the 21st century

Since the year 1995 up to date, a sharp increase in the number ...

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE LEGISLATIONS

Domestic violence can be simply put as any form of abusive behavior used by a partner in a relationship to gain control over another partner usually a dear one to that matter. In most cases, domestic violence is accompanied by fear and intimidation. Domestic violence can take many forms, ranging from physical, sexual, emotional, psychological, verbal, and economic amongst other forms. From this, it is evident that domestic violence enshrines any form of violent that has the ability to “intimidate, manipulate, humiliate, isolate, frighten, terrorize, coerce, threaten, blame, hurt, injure, or wound someone.” Domestic violence affects people from both diverse socioeconomic and ...

Until the mid-1800s in the United States, the woman’s role as subservient to the man as wife and mother changed little. As was the case from the earliest history of human civilization, most women typically have enjoyed less social, economic and legal rights than their male counterparts. In fact, women were generally recognized as having the same intellectual abilities, with being a wife and mother as their most significant professions. As in Victorian England, a woman lost her ownership of property upon marriage and if a married woman left her husband, she was economically and socially powerless. Women who did not ...

Introduction

The issue of gender of the criminal offenders has been subjected to various researches. The highlight on gender scrutinizes how female offenders are treated against the male offenders when they committed murder, one of the most serious crimes across societies. Generally, most studies observe that female offenders are sentenced to lesser punishments than the male offenders. According to Hedderman and Dowds (1997, p. 8), women receive less harsh treatment that the male offenders. However, some studies contradict these gender generalizations. For instance, Kennedy (2005, p. 21), affirmed that when women commit a serious offense such as murder, which are ...

Introduction

As observed by the United Nations Convention, most of the international sanctions originate from political situations between two or more countries that share a common trade base or interact in business and commercial activities. Sanctions are thus defined as restrictions that are imposed on countries for political reasons but directly affect the economic situations in the affected country or the well being of the citizens involved. The international law of contract seems to care less about the effect of these sanctions on the citizens, who most of the time have no direct role in the cause of the differences in ...

Domestic Violence

Introduction

Domestic violence is increasingly becoming a global epidemic and one of the most pervasive incidences associated with the violation of human rights, which involves the a trend of abusive behaviors propelled by partners who are in a relationship that is perceived to be intimate. The recent trends of domestic violence are worrying as evident by the killings, physical and emotional tortures, and the denial of the victim’s rights to enjoy their fundamental freedoms. Domestic violence is evident in almost every country irrespective of the cultural orientation, ethnicity and age factors, with the most of the cases of domestic violence occurring ...

Corporal punishment is considered inflicting of physical pain upon a prisoner as a punishment for violation of a prison rule or regulation. Such forms of conduct include, but are not limited to whipping, cold shower, electrical shocking devices and suspension from cell bars by handcuffs. The use of solitary imprisonment as a system of punishing violations of prison discipline is not included within corporal punishment definition. Most states have no statutes that specifically forbid the use of corporal punishment. Other states, however, prohibit corporal punishment in detention facilities by the statue.
The use of corporal punishment to reinforce prison ...

Introduction

When it comes to sensitive issues that constantly divides the public even at the present, the topic regarding the death penalty would often spring to mind. This form of punishment was originally meant for those who have committed the highest form of treason known to man, but now became a socio-political issue that now raises the ire of many due to its somewhat “barbaric” notions. Opponents to the use of the death penalty indicate that it is a violation to moral and social stands, violating a man’s right to life. Supporters, on the other hand, highlight that its presence helps reduce ...

When one thinks about human trafficking, they think about countries from the Middle East or Africa, kidnapping children to become soldiers and fight in wars or little girls to become sex slaves. However, what many people do not realize is that this heinous crime occurs in their own backyard. Human trafficking is an issue that happens in countries all over the world, even countries that are seemingly progressive, such as the United States. In the United States alone, between 14,000 and 17,500 people per year enter the country for trafficking purposes (Goodhart 203). Within the United States, ...

Introduction

The aim of this study is to assess whether drug use in a domestic violence situation alters perception of who is at fault in the situation. The anticipated results of this study believe that drug use among the victims in a domestic violence situation will lead outside individuals to believe the victim had some sort of fault in the situation. In other words, researchers believe that drugs impact outside perception of the victim in a domestic violence situation and whether or not they are actually at fault.

Introduction

It can be indisputably averred that human trafficking is on track to become a major social and criminal issue in the United States. Commonly known as slavery, human trafficking is a criminal offense that involves “the exploitation of a person for the purpose of compelled labor or a commercial sex act.” With the adoption of the 2000 Trafficking Victims Protection Act, various personnel in the criminal justice system, from prosecutors and community leaders, have reported instances of slavery, debt enslavement, and being trafficked into the commercial sex work industry that have affected a wide range of American citizens-men, ...

Usage of Nuclear Weapons in Legal Way Under Humanitarian Law

The legality of the usage of the nuclear weapons is the question of the fierce debate lasting for years. In fact, the usage of nuclear weapons from the political or economical concerns poses the risks to the living of the human. In this regard, the introduction of this type of weapon is deliberately controlled for the prevention of the possible harm to the life of the human on earth. In order to determine the legality of the usage of nuclear weapons, the author suggest to dwell on its notion provided in the current humanitarian legislation. The nuclear weapon represents ...

Abstract

Illegal Immigration has been one of the biggest problems for the government of the United States and several Border States as several measures has not helped in reducing the flow of illegal immigrants. The increasing flow of illegal immigrants costs the state government and taxpayers more annually. In addition, the New Mexico government has allowed the development of several sanctuary cities and provides basic education, health and law enforcement facilities to illegal immigrants that cost legal citizens. To have an effective Illegal Immigration Bill, it is important that basic facilities provided by the state are restricted to illegal immigrants, ...

Introduction

How does the factor of gender impact the concept of violent offending?
One of the most commonly held notions is that males have a higher propensity to commit violent crimes compared to women. This holding is one of the most widely held concepts in the area of criminology. However, there is a growing debate as to the scope of the “gender gap” in terms of violent offending has shifted in recent years. A number of commentators hold that the gap is described in terms of its stability; others proffer that there is an observable closing of the gap, particularly ...

The research context:

History of tort law
Tort law originated a century ago when Oliver Wendell Junior examined the history of negligence in the legal system, which later resulted in the theory of tort. He concluded in his study that the duty to exercise care in England was faulty. He noted that most plaintiffs suffered overwhelmingly when another party or entity caused a significant level of damage to them. Similarly, Morton J. Horwitz reexamines the history of negligence and found out that many jurisdictions did not understand negligence as carelessness or fault (Kaczorowski). Since its discovery, many nations such as the USA, ...
