Question No. 1

The Crime control model poses the presumption that the criminal law is able to control crime without accounting for the fact (Roach, 1999). Under this model, the best way to control crime is by giving a fair treatment through adversarial criminal proceedings where the accused shall be represented by a defense attorney. Defense lawyers are not expected to invoke due process rights. In the crime control model, there are assumptions that fair treatment may be necessary for effective crime control and punishment may not be necessary to control crime. This model is attained by allowing the ...

Brief therapy is a collection of various psychotherapeutic approaches and has two unique characteristics. First, it concentrates on a specific problem. Secondly, it involves direct intervention. In line with this, the therapist acts proactively in association with the client in the quest to treat both subjective and clinical conditions faster. Brief therapy champions the utilization of natural resources, concentration on observation and creation of multiple perspectives. Furthermore, instead of analyzing the historical underpinnings of the distress, brief therapy seeks to assist the client to conceptualize the present from a broader context, as well as additional functional understandings. When clients ...

The idea of reducing crime may be easier said than done. For centuries, governments, government departments, and other concerned authorities have battled their way to fully minimize, and in the case of idealists, fully eradicate crimes and incidences of violence, but to no avail. Crimes, both petty and felony crimes, may be present everywhere. Regardless where one goes, even in the most crime-free of all places, there is no one hundred percent guarantee that one would not be victimized by the committers of petty and or felony crimes in the area.

Compared to crime rates in most highly industrialized ...

I. CAPM Model

Capital asset pricing model (CAPM) is a model in finance that aims to explain the relationship between expected return and risk and formally represents the tradeoff between risk and return. It stipulates that a return of any portfolio or a security is a sum of the risk free security and a risk premium. This relationship can be expressed through an equation Rm = Rf + β ( Rm – Rf), where

Rf = risk free rate β = contribution coefficient of the stock to a diversified portfolio Rm = expected market return.

Here the risk-free rate is a theoretical return that is generated by an ...

Living organisms depend on biochemistry to power various chemical reaction cycles which are important for the overall biological functioning of an organism. Chemical reactions occur at a specific rate in certain conditions and require input energy (activation energy) to be supplied before a reaction can begin. Since a reaction cycle consist of many consecutive step, slowing one step slows down the whole cycle. Enzymes are proteins which act as catalysts in biochemical reactions and speeds up reactions to rates that are high enough for biological functioning. Enzymes manage this by providing an alternative reaction route with lower activation energy.

Chapter 3 Atoms and the Periodic Table

For centuries, many have tried to learn about the smallest particle. As far as 2500 years ago, Democritus and Leucippus created an idea for the atom and called it ‘atmos’ meaning indivisible. Various philosophers and scientists have proposed models for what and how the atom should be. The initial theory proposed by Dalton in 1803 states that atoms are indivisible and that all atoms of a particular material are identical. He also stated that atoms of different materials join to form compounds. J.J. Thompson proposed the initial model of the atom. It is called the plum pudding model. He ...
