<Institution> Questioning minors in relation to criminal acts is not an easy task. Interviewers must consider certain things to ensure the effectiveness of the process.

For instance, the detective asks “Why did you take the garment?” This suggests that the detective already believes that Jacob did commit the crime without hearing his story first.

The Power of Knowledge

The Power of Knowledge Peer-reviewed, published research has been the cornerstone of growing bodies of knowledge for centuries. As far back as the 15th Century, journals published the work of their scholars so others could read, understand, and push past known boundaries (Ratcliff, 2015). Through published research, every new discovery can be disseminated among an author’s peers, challenged, corrected, and used as the foundation for the next new, deeper understanding. It is possible, however, for research to be misused, facts to be misrepresented, a subjective agenda supported, and ultimately to lose the objective trait on which scholars have ...

This phenomenon essentially results in the extinction of green spaces and a variety of environmental consequences.

Introduction

The economic power in current global ecosystem has assumed more significance compared to conventional use of military power. The world has become increasingly flat and hence economic influence is becoming more impactful.
