Essays on Diversion

Introduction

The Aral Sea is located in Central Asia and was the fourth largest saline lake in the world containing 10grams of salt per liter before its water supply was interrupted (Rama, 2002). In 1960, the Soviet government undertook a diversion project for the rivers that fed the sea. This was an attempt to irrigate the desert region surrounding the sea to support agricultural activities. This led to the transformation of the desert into cotton farms among other forms of farms. Diversion of the Syr Darya and the Amu Darya rivers led to environmental, social, and economic effects felt by ...

The comment I would leave on the video would be one regarding the action needed to be taken against the pharmacies which do not pay attention to the prescriptions and clinics which write these prescriptions for the people in the first place. This is importance because the video reveals how the pharmacists caught the people as their actions and prescriptions were suspicious, however, there is no concern revealed regarding taking any action against the mentioned clinics which have a doubtful operation running in the country. I had observed a critical moment when I happened to be in a pharmacy ...

Abstract

The issue of how criminals are sentenced and treated is a problem within in the United States and around the world. The sentence given for a crime that is committed is not always equal from one state or region to another. Diversion programs are therefore a method that have been created to offer a second chance to first-time offenders and youthful offenders that are deemed worthy of a second chance. These programs are designed to be supervised and carried out by certified and experienced professionals at the behest of the court, and are meant to curb any and all ...

Define and discuss time and space utility

Products must be transported from the place where they are produced to the place where customers demand it to be delivered. The value-add that the product gains due to its transport is called space utility. The time utility is the length of time before or between the product deliveries, which consists of mostly storage and inventory time. When the organizations are able to deliver the goods at a time they are needed, then their time utility increases.

RESTORATIVE JUSTICE

Abstract Encountering the information about a crime, we tend to find out the allegedly basic issues concerning one’s guilt and the accountability of an offender in the form of just punishment. Such approach is not an exception or a rare case, instead – it is an overwhelming thought. However, in fact, the committing of a crime is far more complicated issue than the mere interrelation between illegal act and inevitable punishment. Nevertheless, people are still likely to neglect the accomplishments of restorative justice as one of incomprehensible novelties. Therefore, this paper is dedicated to the revealing of the truth ...

Mission

The mission of the program is to rehabilitate former personnel of an armed forces division. The program requires the perpetrator to undergo a lengthy process between six to twenty-four months. During this time, the perpetrator will pay for lab services and any other additional clinical testing.

According to Mackenzie (2002) about five million or more individuals are under criminal justice system supervision and authority in the United States of America. Close to 1.6 million are housed in local, state or federal correctional facilities. An estimated 70% of these individuals are supervised in either probation or parole, which are forms of community corrections. The suggestion here is that a large part of the correctional population at any one point is under the supervision of corrections in the United States (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 1997). About 3.8 individuals both men and women are in community parole and ...

Reasons for Using Diversion in the Criminal Justice System

Diversion is an attempt by the criminal justice system to divert or channel out offenders from the justice system. The program is normally executed by the police departments, the court systems, and the attorneys who want to have the offenders evade the charges in which they are responsible for. Some of the problem solving courts usually uses the diversion technique to try and have the criminals solve the case out of the court (Quay, 1977). The Diversion program is usually used for a number of reasons. In most cases, there are two types of diversions: the formal and the ...

ABSTRACT

The juvenile crime rate has made a significant increase in America as children as young as eight years old are committing violent crimes. The juvenile justice system was first created to keep children out of adult prisons and to rehabilitate the children so that they will become productive non-criminal adults. This system has not been effective. Children are impacted by many factors when faced with decisions in today’s society. They are not as developed and lack the reasoning capability like adults. Thus, new approaches to juvenile justice must be instilled throughout the country in order to prevent more ...

Abstract

The Columbine High School Massacre was the bloodiest school killing spree in the United States of America ever committed. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris killed 12 of other students, one professor and injured 24, before committing a suicide (Aronson, 2000). The perpetrators had versatile arsenal of weapons and pipe bombs, which, according to the US Security Service estimates was sufficient to kill 200 people (Kass, 2009). Theorists extensively debated about the motives of their attack. Some argued that the reasons were psychological (Atheide, 2009), while others actively advocated the notion that their attack was a retaliation for bullying and ...

The ultimate goal of early childhood education is to improve children’s social-emotional skills, acquisition and use of knowledge and skills and use of appropriate behavior to meet their needs. As said by Albert Einstein, “Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think." Therefore, the use of technology is not suitable in early age, as it teaches children to depend on technology rather than believing in themselves. Scientifically proven method states that when a person learns something through the senses of touching, hearing, writing, communication is more prone to remember for a ...

1) The idea of probation started when courts saw the need to suspend the execution of sentences to enable defendants appeal to the monarch for pardon. Courts further saw the need to allow defendants to reform by the time of sentencing. The advantages of probation include the provision of opportunities for reform by low-risk offenders in lieu of imprisonment. Probation also protects defendants’ employment and societal stability. Probation is also cheaper than incarceration, which costs taxpayers hundreds of dollars per day for each offender. Modern probation includes new forms such as diversion programs and electronic monitoring. Electronic ...

Introduction

The number of youths engaging in criminal activities in United Kingdom and across the world is alarming. For long, such youths were sentenced in juvenile courts and subsequently detained in respective juvenile prisons.

Many programs, designed to guide the youth to up to standard behavior were introduced. Most of these methods do not use the courts; instead, they use community programs, strict parenting, warnings, surveillance, and punishment. According to Muncie and ...

Criminal Law

The program for youth offenders involved in gang-related problems has been designed to solve that policy on juvenile crime, drug uses and the role of community corrections to rehabilitate their deviant behavior. The juvenile program is intended to give the youth offenders the opportunity to correct past mistakes. Del Carmen and Trulson (2005) argued that imprisonment of youth offenders will result to a traumatic experience since it will separate them from their families. This action on the part of the community is related to the rehabilitation theory which will benefit the juvenile delinquents to have a better future. For non-violent youth ...

Juvenile crime is the caused by many factors which needed to be dealt with by specific programs. Programs to deal with this situation diversion programs have been implemented in the state of Illinois.

(Lundma,1937) this is based on the labelling theory which holds that deviance is not inherent in to an act, ...

The Petroleum Industry faces many challenges regularly and one of the challenges is to hydraulically fracture a reservoir that is naturally fractured. The natural fracture systems are essential as they are considered for ideal stimulation. Oil and gas reservoirs use hydraulic fracturing, but using the hydraulic fracture in unconventional gas reservoirs’ is the main challenge as hydrocarbons cannot be extracted from these reservoirs without the fractures. A few factors that affect the hydraulic and natural fracture interaction are the horizontal differential stress, the angle set for the fracture and the pressure that is applied during the treatment. An observation ...

Arguably, in the past decades researchers have established program modes and intervention strategies that will help in promoting social development, as well as reducing juvenile delinquent behaviors.

Preventing juvenile delinquent behaviors saves life of young people from being wasted, prevents adult crimes in the future, as well as reducing the burden of crime on society and the victim. Perhaps, it costs the city a lot of dollars to prosecute, arrest, treat and incarcerate juvenile offenders. Hence, the use of delinquency-prevention programs saves a lot of taxpayers’ money, which is ...

The dystopian novel is a unique category in literature, with its own unique sets ot stylistic rules. With dystopia, you also get a particular type of reader, and a particular type of writer.

Dystopia takes the flaws of humanity and makes them normative for everyone. This is the world of writers like Vonnegut, Margaret Atwood (The Handmaid’s Tale) and George Orwell.
