The day of the incident, they were having one of these parties and she alleges the ceiling was shaking, not allowing her to rest. All of this may lower her credibility, as her perception is obviously not objective. She might have resentment from past disputes, as well as differing with her neighbors about how to ...

Abstract

There exist numerous defenses to criminal charges. The defenses are usually used by the persons facing particular charges in a bit to negate the requisites of a crime, especially the aspect of intent. In criminal cases the general rule is that crimes are offences that are usually committed against the government. Every person is usually presumed innocent until the contrary is proved. As such, the burden of proof lies on the government to prove that a crime was committed and that the accused person committed the alleged crime. The prosecution side, which represents the government in a criminal trial, must convince the judge ...

Introduction

The American economy has been facing serious challenges most notably the recession and the property crash witnessed in 2008. As Salaam (2012) asserts, the American economy was already on the decline way before the 2008 crash. He suggests that the recession began way back in 2000 and most notably in 2007, but the country was spared the pains by the unsustainable boom in property sector. When the slump hit in 2008, the country was least prepared for it. This slump has persisted to this day. VCU (2014) concedes to this fact saying that the recession has resulted to a ...

The Burden and Standards of Proof

It is now trite knowledge that no case, civil or criminal, can fully, rationally and satisfactorily be dispensed by the courts, tribunal or arbiters without some element of persuasion from both or all the parties involved. This duty or onus on a party to persuade the arbiter; be it a jury, a tribunal, committee or an arbitrator is referred in law as standards and burden of proof. It prompts a party to a dispute to, by way of evidence, prove or disprove a fact in issue. A ‘level of proof’ continuum refers, therefore, to a system used to determine who between or among parties to a dispute ...

Nature vs. Nurture

Abstract For centuries man has been trying to determine what makes a person moral. Some have theorized that babies are born with an innate sense of morality while others debate this theory with their own beliefs that human ethics are molded by their environment. Those in the field of psychology have long endeavored to find commonalities that would explain human personalities. Even though all humans have similar traits there are also many ways that make us all unique. In the search to understand the relationship between commonality and uniqueness, several different theories of personality have been developed ("The study ...

Paula Deen used to be known for her down-home Southern cooking and her excessive use of butter, but that has all changed in recent weeks. Recently, it has come to the attention of the media that Deen has been, for the past decade or more, using racial language and treating certain employees in her businesses discriminately. The recent hubbub over Deen and her sworn deposition that she has used racial slurs in the past has ignited a flurry of press, leading to the Food Network severing ties with the celebrity chef (Dobuzinskis, 2013).

The contemporary society is rife with differences among people on grounds of religion, politics, culture, gender among many others. Differences between two groups affiliating to one or more of these aspects create competing mentalities of “us versus them”. In light of these developments, the question begs, do these mentalities help maintain a fair society? The book Super Freakonomics by Stephen Levitt and Stephen Dubner challenges the way we think. It explores the hidden side of almost everything by asking probing, controversial and seemingly ridiculous questions. Some of the questions raised include, “why are doctors so bad at washing their hands? ...

Serial Murder

There is multiple definition of serial murder in the last thirty years, in the literature. These definitions share many things, but they differ on few issues. This is because they differ on the motivation of committing the murder, number of causalities, and the nature of the murder. However, attempts have been made to differentiate a serial killer from other murder, such as, spree murder, mass murder among others. As a result, the most acceptable definition of serial murder is the unlawful killing of two or more victims by the same offender(s), in separate occasions. Therefore, a serial murder is a person that ...
