Cultural dos and taboos for foreign visitors

My home country is Saudi Arabia and it is a Kingdom situated in south-western Asia covering most of the Arabian Headland. The culture of the society is shaped by Bedouin values and Islam religion; hence important for visitors to take them seriously. Visitors of the country should adhere to certain unwritten rules to be seen to respect the Saudi society. The cultural dos and taboos are: never offering alcohol to an Arab since it is considered an offence; always accepting invitation to a home of an Arab home; foreign women should wear loose clothing that covers their body; respect the Ramadan ...

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 ...

Adeimantus intervenes and said that being a ruler is unfair since there is no official approval of wealth or a will, no time to travel to a place of your choice, keep your lover happiness or perform actions that brings happiness to the people being ruled.

Socrates argues that their main objective in transforming this city is to make everybody in the city happy and economically productive rather than making only some specified group of people happy in the expense of others. He says that they are guardians and they need to find justice and do away with injustices practices among ...

Question Two

There exists a close relationship between the police and the prosecutor that is usually mandated by the law. The prosecutors and the police usually interact during the criminal investigations. Specifically, the prosecutors can request the police to carry out certain criminal investigations by pursuing a given approach of inquiry. Prosecutors and police officers can therefore consult each other in the ongoing cases. In most instances, the consultation arrangement is usually informal and in most jurisdictions consultations between the police and prosecutors do not exist. Generally, the police carry out investigations regarding various criminal incidences in almost total independence. Once the police ...

The prosecutors and police have the common interest cut down crime, arrest criminals and offer fast, sure and particular punishment. Therefore, prosecutors and police are expected to have open communication to facilitate their functions. The two organizations have different responsibilities, but exhibit conflicting views over certain case dispositions. However, their conflicts are considered as evidence for the effective functioning of checks and balances mechanism of the criminal justice system. Therefore, the police should accommodate such checks from prosecutors while prosecutors are expected to provide supervisory functions together with vivid and reasonable explanations. The police are held responsible for their ...

Introduction

In the US, the responsibility of covering healthcare has largely been left to the private sector. The private sector is able to achieve this through employer-sponsored health insurance (ESI). However, the ESI is marred by a number of problems, which have hampered its effective implementation. As such, the US has introduced certain reforms as well as observing the principle of justice to ensure that the health sector carries out its roles smoothly.

Problems caused by employer-sponsored health insurance

The first ethical concern is that employer-sponsored health insurance hampers transparency and accountability. Despite the fact that there are significant increases in insurance premiums, employers make only small ...

Question One: The Irony of State Intervention: Labelling Theory

Before the onset of the labelling theory, many a criminologists defined crime as the behaviour that was contrary to the criminal laws established by the government. Since it violated the state laws, the state’s intervention was necessary in prosecuting such criminals in order to ensure society remained a safe place to live. However, in the late 20th century, the labelling theorists came up and influenced the jurisprudence of the criminal justice systems. Therefore, in this discussion, the paper shall look at how and why state intervention, labelling persons as criminals and societal reactions actually lead to unintended consequences to the ...

Causes of Wrongful Conviction

Law leading scholars argue that the courts are the most unexamined public institutions in the world. According to Gould and Leo (2010), nobody keeps track of the cases that are prosecuted on the court or the types of convictions made for whatever reason. This may be responsible to the rising number of wrongful convictions in the court system. Several years ago, the U. S Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia stated that was satisfied with the rate at which innocent people were convicted of felonies. The rate was at 0.27% (Bach 2010). He debated that, for the justice system to ...

Juvenile crime in the United States of America is as old as the nation itself. However, over the years there has been deliberate reform within the criminal justice system effectively affecting juveniles. Delinquency refers to the crimes committed by juveniles. A juvenile ideally refers to a person between the ages of twelve and seventeen. In that breadth, juveniles are just developing out of childhood and about to graduate into adulthood. At this stage, the law recognizes that the person may not appreciate the law as it is and may not necessarily be capable of harboring a mental intention to commit crime. ...

What is shaming?

Ways in which justice is delivered - The offenders in normal cases are made to carry signs announcing the crimes which they have committed. - The offenders can also be made to put up signs in fronts of their homes or on their cars announcing their crimes. - In other cases, the offender can be made to wear protective vests stamped with signs of their crimes and made to walk in public for some hours.

Introduction

Domestic violence is one of the most disturbing yet most common type of case being handled by trial courts, not only in a domestic but also in an international level. There are, in reality, many types of violence. There is however, one thing that is common among these violence-related crimes—they all lead to a multidimensional type of injury.

The injury that could come as a result of being a victim of violence could target the physical, emotional, and social integrity of an individual, which makes it only logical to brand domestic violence as one of the most destructive forms of crime ...

Cyrus claims to have learned justice in Persia when he was judge in a case involving two boys. In this case, a larger boy with a small coat took away a large coat from a small boy.

Introduction

Criminal justice is the system and practices that government institutions maintain social control, mitigate and deter crime, and sanction law violators (Stojkovich, Kalinich & Klofas, 2008). Decisions in any criminal justice organization follow certain models all of which must be educated and analyzed. Therefore, in this presentation the organization analyzed is the National Sheriffs Association.

Background

Introduction

There is a growing contention among critics about the number of people of color that makes up the population in prison or parole. Pettit and Western (2004) have questioned the credibility of the justice system when it comes to incarcerating, policing, or sentencing of people of color. Current statistics reveal that blacks are handled disproportionally as opposed to the majority white community (Pettit & Western, 2004). Further, these theorists related the incarceration, policing, or sentencing pattern to racial disparities in the criminal justice system. United States has had a long history of racial disparity that led elicited activism by the blacks. Presently, ...

- Broken Windows theory - The theory asserts that untended property becomes subject to destruction, and, therefore, unpatrolled communities become prone to criminal activities (Duffee, & Maguire, 2007). According to the theory, the public administrators should rebuild the society’s trusts by placing the people’s safety first, supervising probationers in the communities rather than in the office, allocating the public resources rationally, and providing enforcement and sequential quick response in case of violations.

- It is crucial to developing partners within the community to enhance the policing aspect. The public administrators should create performance-based initiatives and establish strong ...

With enough support any law can be changed. It is said that with great power comes great responsibility, and celebrities do have some level of power over the opinions of the public.

This gives them the ability to champion what they see as justice and sway the views of those people who believe that the opinions of a certain celebrity carry extra weight. It is effective to resist immoral laws when you can gain public support for your viewpoint, and celebrities have a much easier time doing that than the average person. If something truly unjust is taking place then those ...

- Introduction: Demographics, Politics, and Economics of China

The most important thing to consider when thinking about China is the sheer size of the country. There are billions of people in China; the country is extremely overpopulated and very crowded. Socially, it is a country in flux. Today, the Chinese are still reeling from the Cultural Revolution of the 1950s and the massive societal changes that took place at that time. Once China opened her doors to the west, however, she began to grow; today she is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, and this fact seems ...

The recent incidence that took place in Ferguson Missouri, where a United States police officer, from the Ferguson Police department, shot dead an eighteen-year-old teen, by the name of Michael Brown, under unclear circumstances. According to the police, Michael Brown was shot in Ferguson is a city in St. Louis County, Missouri. The witness interviewed said that, Brown and his Friend Dorian were taking a walk in the middle of the street when a police officer drove up to then and asked them to walk on the sidewall instead of the street.

The United States of America has three cardinal branches of the criminal justice system. These include law enforcement agencies like the police, the courts system and the correctional system. Given that it is a democratic country, the United States’ criminal justice system is founded on the tenets of the rule of law. Therefore, all these three critical organs of the government must carry out their constitutional and statutory mandate within the confines of federal and state laws. Indeed, the criminal justice system is configured in a way that it enables both levels of government to function in an efficacious ...

President William Jefferson Bill Clinton appeared before the Senate on the 7th January 1999 to face an impeachment trial upon charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. He was the second president of the United States to face such impeachment charges. The trial began in the Senate presided over by the Chief Justice William Rehnquist. The trial started with the swearing in by the Chief Justice and the reading of the charges against President Clinton before the 100 senators. The opposing sides went and deliberated on who would present their evidence and considered the question as to whether to ...

The Office of the Independent Council (OIC) was tasked with the responsibility of producing substantial and credible evidence that would be used by the prosecution and Congress to impeach the president. From the beginning, the case against the president was weak. However, when it was revealed that Monica Lewinsky was interfering with witnesses and that she was prepared to give false witness under oath, the case gained some weight. The major arguments made by the persecution include the following. There was evidence that Clinton had spoken to Lewinsky about being subpoenaed to give evidence in the Jones case. Furthermore, a ‘ ...

In this paperwork, I am going to discuss about Rerum Novarum, especially its treatment of socialism and capitalism. According to the reading, it is depicted that the majority of the working class continue to live in misery. The socialists, attempts to bring to an end to these wrongs, are striving to implement a strategy that will abolish the ownership of private property. The socialists argue that the private belongings should become the universal possessions for the entire group of people. It would, therefore, ensure a fair share for each person to take pleasure in, hence bringing to an end of the numerous suffering that exists between the rich and the poor. The properties should, therefore, be controlled by civic ...

Restorative justice demonstrates a shift in perspective in terms of law and justice. Traditional criminal justice systems have in the past focused on identifying a crime, the person who committed the crime, and the ideal punishment that the offender should be subjected to. However, it is important to understand that the punishment of an offender either through jail term or subjecting them to other capital punishments such the death penalty does not help solve the problem that faces the persons affected by the crime.

In the light of this, restorative justice works to obtain a long term solution to the injuries ...

Compare Aristotle with Kant, Rawls, and the utilitarians. Which theory offers us the most successful theory of justice?

The essence of justice is a massively studied model. With the help of different social sciences, head scholars continue to reflect on the field and outline of what appears to bear a visionary semblance but whose versions in time of history has often taken different perspectives. An equiparation of the versions of justice in main disciplines of psychology, legal studies, philosophy, economic studies, and sociology, for example, show only very insular convergence lines. An analysis of Aristotle’s interpretation of justice in comparison with Victorian principles and later on in the works of Kant, Rawls and utilitarians and other contemporary thoughts ...

The important concepts of law and justice are necessary foundations that lend legitimacy to a state, in particular and to a society and/or a civilization, in general. Owing to the intrinsic differences in social organizations the concepts of law and justice have varied definitions and approaches in the West and the East. A valid comparison of the Western and the Eastern approaches to these concepts make the comparisons and the contrasts extremely enlightening (Nov 17).

The Western legal culture primarily evolved from the Judeo-Christian sacred texts, the Greek philosophy and logic, and the Germanic-tribal or folk (law) traditions. After 380 AD ...

Introduction

Juvenile justice system encompasses the whole system of agencies charged with the resolution of the conduct of juveniles in relation to the law. Juveniles herein refer to the age groups between ages eight to seventeen. The law imposes the age of the majority at eighteen years, and as such, it marks the exit age from the juvenile category. Criminal law takes a punitive and deterrent course for adults but departs substantially while addressing juvenile matters. The future of the juvenile justice system ought to be contemplated in terms of the societal developments especially in this era of information.

Social justice existed in a society when the people of that community had an equal share in the way they were treated. That is, and everyone had a fair share of the resource allocation to the citizens. For instance, every region is equally developed in terms of hospitals, schools, social amenities, and road networks. It was not just the presence of these facilities, but the provision of quality services equitably to all the citizens is what made social justice a good practice (Chaffee, 2013). Quality housing, education and in addition, quality primary health care were considered a prerogative ...

A recent verdict by the grand jury of United States coming on the night of November 24, 2014 stating not to indict the police officer named Darren Wilson was weird enough to trigger a protest which has calmed over a period of time. The case dates back to 9 August, 2014 when a police officer named Darren Wilson fired at least six bullets at an 18 year old teenager named Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri including two to his head. Shockingly the teenager was unarmed and the fact that he was an African American drags the case in the zone of racism. ...

Criminal justice is a growing discipline that owes much of its identity to more established disciplines, such as political science, economists, philosophy, sociology, and psychology. Holder (2013) draws upon these disciplines in order to understand the development and complex nature of criminal justice policy. Criminal justice policy formulation and implementation has significant implications on the justice administration. Criminal justice policies are more important than any other policy areas in terms of their influence upon the lives of all citizens, the cost of the public treasury, and contribution to the public good.

Criminal justice policy is aimed at examining the goals, ...

According to the assigned readings, all religious systems have some similarities and differences. Whereas the differences depend on an individual foundation of the systems, the similarities are universal. One major similarity that the religious systems have is the belief in a supernatural/higher being e in a different place, far from earth. All people on earth, regardless of their religious affiliations aspire that one day, they will go to this place for their second life. Because of such beliefs, the religious systems tend to have similar principles of morality and law because such principles are supposed to guide them to meet the ...

- In Book 1 of the Republic, why does Socrates think that it is never just for one person to injure another, whether friend or enemy? Socrates begins his argument with the proposition that justice consists in repayment of debts. The general argument was on the lines that one ought not to injure friends. Injuring enemies was considered to be acceptable. It was taken for granted that friends are good and enemies are bad. However, Socrates pointed out that a man can be seemingly good or bad. One who pretends to be a friend may have bad intentions at heart. ...

1. Is current criminal justice system female?

The current criminal justice is female (Karson, 1998). I will base my arguments on some of the past facts which have eroded most of the female contributions to the criminology system. First is the ancient Greece. When an individual committed murder during this period, he/she was to be punished by the daughters of the Mother of the Night. The daughters were by Titan, a female supernatural being. In Egypt, wrongdoers were punished by Sekhmet, the goddess of punishment and protector against evil (Purpura, 1996).

In astrology, Taurus the female ascendant gave rise to various bull religions in the Middle East ...

The life story which is captured in “giving Voice to values and framing a life story” reflects the fight for justice for people whose rights to be compensated were violated. While I will be providing an evidenced case, the objective is to ensure that victims are fully rewarded with their rightful compensation and also in the amount that meets the given legal and ethical obligations on the part of the insuring company. This story therefore dwells on the principle of serving justice for the people who have various types of injuries who are seeking a fair assessment of the case ...

In the Penal Colony by Franz Kafka has generated serious debate on the importance of justice and the deeper meanings in the story. Revolving around an explorer who has come to assess the “apparatus” or the executive tool in the penal colony, the tale is of extreme condemnation and violence of inhumanity. However, going into the depth of the story may lead the reader to believe that the author has provided a setting which was devoid of the concept of justice in humanity. This can further be understood by the references made to the Old Commandment which may be ...

The United States of America criminal justice system remains in state of continual change. Often, the system is ready to adopt reforms aimed at addressing pertinent issues. The overall objective, however, remains that of delivery of justice. It is on that context that this paper shall discuss the place of victimology in the American criminal justice system. It must not be lost of us that the resolution of crime entails three cardinal players. These are the victim, the state and the criminal. While the law has over the past concentrated on the latter two, it has had little time ...

The Criminal Justice System

Learning about the criminal justice system has been quite an experience. Not only does the course allow me to take a peep at the system that has been spotlighted and dramatized in many movies and television series, but it has set right many of my misconceptions about the system. The association of corruption to law enforcement is not new, or the sad state of our prison system a novelty, but I did not know that the prosecution plays a very powerful role in the system.

Whenever the subject of criminal justice crops up, my first instinct is to associate it with the ...

In the case of John Arryo, there were many instances in which legal processes were not correctly followed, both on the part of Arryo as well as crucial members of the criminal justice system. Throughout the arrest and during the entire preliminary hearing, things got worse and worse for John Arryo, due to the fact that he was not knowledgeable on the process, as well as the fact that the judge, officers and prosecutors did not seem to care much about following legal protocol.

As John Arryo’s attorney, I would first inform him of the mistakes that he ...

Lawrence v. Texas is a litigation in 2003, which led to the cancellation of prosecution for anal sex between adults by mutual consent in the United States. In 1986, the Supreme Court has already analyzed a similar case in the state of Georgia at a legal investigation "Bowers v. Hardwick". Then the Supreme Court by the decision of five judges against the four acknowledged the appeal of plaintiffs for equality of all citizens before the Constitution ridiculous and left the law in force. When considering the case of Lawrence, it was not easy for the Supreme Court to take the opposite ...

Rehabilitation Issues within the Criminal Justice System

This research investigates the importance of rehabiliation as a central theme in criminal justice systems. Specifically, the research adrresses the question about whether rehabiliation is important in the first place, and the issues that prevent delivery of timely rehabiliation services to offenders. The research notes that while it is important to keep the public safe from offenders, it is also of critical importance to ensure that the offenders get a fair treatment within the confines of prison and come out of prison with the right mindset without slipping back to doing the crimes they used to commit. This research opinines that ...

This essay will be based on information gathered from the code of Hammurabi. It can be seen that Hammurabi is a prince born of Anu and Bel and was brought to “bring about the rule of righteous in the land and to destroy the evil and wicked”. He is also brought to ensure that no harm may befall the weak in the community. It is also suggested that also included in his purpose was to rule over “black headed people like Shamash” while also enlightening the land and continuing the well being of mankind as a whole.

Drug courts are courts that oversee the reformation and rehabilitation of non-violent drug offenders (Cole & Gertz, 2012). Under these courts all stakeholders of the criminal justice system work in tandem to ensure that those going through the program are reformed and rehabilitated. The drug courts supervise the treatment program especially through regular review of the offender to ascertain the progress made. The court normally rewards the offender where there is positive progress, and imposes sanctions where the offender has regressed or violated any of the conditions that had been imposed. There are drug courts for adults, juveniles, and ...

The article talks about the failure of the criminal justice system of the United States.It emphasizes on the need of increasing rehabilitation centers for the drugs victims instead of increasing or building additional prisons for the young people in the United States. The article also shows how the United State government has spent more money in reforming prisons yet the offenders graduate to a more hard core criminal than before taken to prison. So lastly, it views jail and prison sentence as the last option.

In the first section of this article, Lorenzo Jones the director of the Connecticut-based A ...

a. In the case presented, plea-bargaining agreement is important to the justice system because it de-clogs the cases courts need to address.

History of Women Working in the Criminal Justice System

The history of women in criminal justice system has started centuries ago. It depicts the perfect example of having an equal situation between men and women in an apparently fair system of the organization. If we are going to look at the history of women in the criminal justice system, it shows that women who were working in the justice system have been oppressed (Beery, 2004). That is because our criminal justice system was and still designed based on the system that is being controlled by men. Thus, its design is to control wayward men, which started hundreds ...

Socrates had ample time and opportunity to escape prison and execution as well as a battalion of friends willing to do whatever it takes to help him. Socrates however declines this very enticing opportunity to regain his freedom. His first reason is that his trial followed the correct judicial procedures. He had the opportunity to defend himself and a vote was cast fairly by the public, which found him guilty.

In his instance, Socrates is bringing about the concept of content justice versus procedural justice3.content justice involves ensuring that justice is served. Procedural justice ensures that the right procedures are followed ...

Role played by race/ethnicity in the criminal justice system

Historically, race played a big role in the criminal justice system, especially in relation to punishment for perceived or actual criminal conduct. In the early twentieth century, the extent of punishment meted out depended on one’s race. Virtually all cases that involved minorities resulted to strict and harsh sanctions, especially cases involving African – Americans (Rosich, 2007). These sanctions served two purposes: to deter criminal conduct among the minorities, and to suppress any uprisings.

This was compounded by the fact that those in charge of the criminal justice were from the majority. All juries, judges, legislators, and law enforcement ...

The three main mechanisms for treating juveniles as adults

The recent past has experienced an immense increase in juvenile delinquencies across various settings. In dealing with juvenile delinquency cases, the criminal justice systems across various states have devised different mechanism for treating juvenile delinquents as adults. The first mechanism is the waiver mechanism whereby the decision to treat a juveniles as adults are left to the Juvenile courts in any given State. Waiver provisions differ based on their flexibility in allowing juvenile courts to make such decisions (Hile 2). Many at times, such decisions are based on presumptions and discretions whereas in other cases they are mandatory, depending on ...

Question one: Explain why individual rights and public order perspectives are such contentious issues in contemporary American Society

Individual rights refer to personal or individual freedoms that are accorded to human beings and are guaranteed in the Bill of Rights. Some of the individual rights enshrined in the law include the right to petition, right to bear arms, right to vote, among others. An individual rights perspective calls for the protection of personal freedoms without any abridgement in the criminal justice system. On the other hand, when viewed from a public order perspective, it is suggested that individual rights or personal freedoms can be overridden when public safety is at stake. Indeed, public order advocates believe that under ...

Criminal justice may be defined as the art of ensuring that human rights are respected and credited accordingly. Contrary to this, action in form of justice is in return employed. Criminal justice is an extremely critical in development of public policies. There are various issues that are associated to justice with vehemently many questions being raised. However, the main question is on the ability of criminal justice to exist without values. The answer is that criminal justice cannot exist without values.

The first element that may be used to defend this answer is concerned with the fact that human ...

There has been a significant growth in the number of violent juvenile crimes over the past decade, which has stirred a heated debate on effectiveness and viability of the juvenile system. According to statistics in the US Department of Justice at the beginning of the 21st century one among four residents in the US were below 18 years of age. Therefore, the number of minors has been large and providing services to this population has been a challenge. The government has been on a mission to ensure efficiency and viability of the system through allocation of resources and development of proper infrastructure (Demarest, ...

Utilitarianism holds that a proper course of action is one that maximizes utility by reducing suffering and maximizing happiness. The concept of utilitarianism adds that the moral worth appended t an action is solely determined by its resulting outcome. Theorists add that the greatest measure of right or wrong is the happiness of the greatest number of people. The influence of utilitarianism is widespread and permeates politics, law and economics. In law, the concept of utilitarianism justifies the punishment intended to preempt further crimes by protecting the community from the offender or rehabilitating him. In politics, utilitarianism supports democracy as a ...

Among the seven recurring ethical problems that Kania and Davis mentioned, I believe that the most damaging to the mission of criminal justice managers is the wrongful pursuit of personal gain. One often hears or reads news about police corruption. Just recently, one heard in the news about the arrest of ten metro officers in Atlanta for accepting thousands of dollars in pay-offs from drug dealers. Apparently, these police officers have been working with a gang for almost a year now and were involved with over 50 cocaine transactions. According to a study by the New York Mollen Commission in 1998, most ...
