Public disturbance is actions that violate public order or moral or other behaviour that is interpreted as a threat to the normal routine of life of the society. Examples of such crimes are prostitution, pornography, gambling, vagrancy, public drunkenness and drug use.

Latest statistics show that almost 80% of crimes are committed while intoxicated. Public disturbance under the influence of alcohol unfortunately occurs quite often.

Leadership Strategies for a Changing World

I have just been appointed as the District Manager of an electronics company, a position which I have been eagerly anticipating for a long time.

There is often a sense of friction between middle management and department heads, as ...

What is the Relationship Between Personality and Criminal Justice?

The search for criminal personality has piqued the curiosities and interests of both academics and the general public (Caspi et al., 1994). There has often been an allusion to the relationship between personality and criminal behavior. After all, it is normal, regular people who commit crimes like child molestation, murder, or rape (Bartol & Bartol, 2010).

Introduction Firms that do not have the quality human resource face challenges in managing its operations globally and in attracting quality human resource (Farndale, Scullion, and Sparrow, 2010). Therefore it is critical for firms to manage their human resource. For this reason, the practices of human resource management are decisive in the success of the organization. As firms expand their operations to different countries, organizations have to consider a lot more factors than they have to when they are managing an organization that operates in only one country (Adler, 2002). Therefore, the role of international human resource management practices ...

The rational choice theory is of the opinion that an individual acts by weighing the costs and benefits brought about by an action at the end through the use of personal advantage. As far as crime is concerned, the theory assumes that the rational decisions made by criminals to engage in any crime are made through the revision of all outcomes and possibilities. The outcomes depend on the benefits the criminals get by committing these crimes. Criminals do however consider the consequences of their actions, such as imprisonment and tread with care in the process of committing a crime. The ...

Importance of Motive in Criminal Investigation

Criminal justice usually does not deal with motivations of the crime, but only the crime. The judge does not ask why the crime was committed, but only whether the crime was committed. The question of motivation related to ‘why’ a particular crime was committed (Steinberg, n.d). Although, it does not make much of a difference in courts of justice, but for criminal investigations, it does. Particularly, in case of homicide, the investigator does seem to form hypotheses about various people around the victim regarding the possible motives for which those people may have committed the crime. Even though, this does not ...

Theories of Behaviorism and Operant Condition or Learning

Theories of behaviorism relate to principles that seek to explicate behavior in terms of overt or observable actions and responses. Behaviorism is essentially defined by the theories proposed by John Watson and B.F. Skinner, which highlight the stimulus and response mechanism as a way to observe and understand human behavior. Behaviorism highly values observable behavior because it is a manifestation of internal behavior that is measurable and may easily be recorded (Nevid, 2012). Behaviorists such as Watson and Skinner argue that the observable and measurable nature of overt behavior makes it an essential and reliable gauge of human behavior. Watson is ...

However then, does such disorderly behaviors get to win their way up in the society? No, they do not and can never be allowed ...

Interview Techniques

Introduction Law enforcement officers use interviews and interrogations to get information from criminal suspects. The two aspects of communication are important in deriving needed information. The two techniques are may be different in a number of ways. Interrogations are characterized by verbal aggressiveness while interviews engage a non-aggressive dialogue. Both the parties in an interview contribute to the conversation without prejudice. However, it seems that, in an interrogation, the verdict is already determined before the questioning begins. Sometimes officers engage in unorthodox tactics of eliciting information from suspects. Concerns have been raised about officers bullying suspects during interrogations. Interrogations may ...

Analysis using motivation theories

In relation to the case, it can be noted that the input of employees is directly related to the remuneration awarded to the employees. Bartol (2007), discuses that for a reward: employees and individuals are likely to put more effort to achieve the said objective. As illustrated in the organization, the remuneration structure and benefit scheme does not suffice the amount of work the employees undertake. This leads to dissatisfaction and discomfort in execution of work projects leading to delays in project submission. Despite Lisa being the employee of the quarter, this did not accord her a promotion or salary increment. ...

Even juveniles, i.e. children and teens below the age of 18, can commit crimes, and a crime committed by a juvenile is referred to as juvenile delinquency ...

Youth in the Justice System

April, 16 is a day that will live in my memory for long. I had an appointment with my uncle in town.

Youth in the Justice System:

I highly appreciate patience and exercising due diligence in decision making especially in situations that are overly pressurizing to an individual.
