In recent months, a lot of controversy has surrounded the use of electronic search warrants or the use of electronic devices to deliver search warrants especially in drug related crimes. Many prosecutors have advocated for the legalization of the use of such devices especially in emergencies where delay in thus issuing of a search may lead to a situation where a particular case is compromised, for instance the suspect may destroy or contaminate the drugs to be used as evidence. The delay may be occasioned by the fact that the officer or agent conducting the search may have to physically go to a magistrate ...

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.

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.

For instance, Kennedy (2005, p. 21), affirmed that when women commit a serious offense such as murder, which are ...

Ferro, Jeffrey. Juvenile Crime. New York, NY: Facts on File, 2003. Print.
Jeffrey Ferro’s journal article “Juvenile Crime” gives a state by state description and analysis of juvenile or youth crime. Since my research focuses on California, it was the state that I tended to concentrate more on. He gives illustrations as to why the youth decide to become delinquent and also gives a brief history of youth criminals in California. The only negative quality that I would probably attribute to Ferro’s literature is that he tends to concentrate more on the reasons why the youth in California ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

This means that the government continues to act without the requisite checks and balances provided by the opposition. It is extremely critical for a country to nurture democracy. This because democracy ensures it provides a state with alternative leadership. It keeps government official on their toes thus prevent ...

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 ...

The Middle East has been a region that has been in a state of crisis for over a century now.

Dictatorships, religion, land disputes, possession of weapons of mass destruction, the subjugation of populace, and, arguably, oil have been some of the common war points. However, just how true these justifications of war are depends greatly on the perception of the Middle East, its ...

These two basic factors bring about the social revolution. This research will highlight that the model elucidated by Skocpol is an appropriate ...

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.
