Part 1 – Assault and Battery

The terms “assault and battery” are often used together although these are two separate crimes. An assault is defined as an action that causes a person to feel the threat of impending violence.

The crime of battery occurs when there is physical contact. Grabbing a person’s arm or punching or striking a person constitutes a case of battery (Baldwin, 2007). Simple assault or battery, where there is limited threat of violence or a minor ...

Wild West was fundamentally the American Frontier. Contrary to the popular opinion the Wild West was not truly wild as portrayed in the Hollywood movies.

Despite the exaggeration about the Wild West there are certain elements that have led to the fantasized version of the west. Many famous ...

Reply to Lori Miley

Robbery is indeed one of the most serious crimes in the nation hence people should strive to find ways of reducing the numbers most especially in high crime areas. In my opinion, I would suggest some fundamental social changes that include the redistribution of wealth as well as deterrence and incapacitation. This change would be achieved through the creation of jobs since most of the offenders are poor and suffer from financial crises. As noted by Wright and Decker, the key element that drives people to commit robberies instead of other offenses is the pressing need for cash (Wright ...

Banking is a major part of most modern nations. This is because they form as the point for an organized financial sector and allow for regulations to be applied and carried out.

Introduction

Nowadays, the struggle against the use, dissemination, and production of drugs is quite severe. Despite the fact that so-called War on Drugs has been launched in 1971, it seems like there was no serious developments in this direction.

The War led to the militarization of the police and involvement of the military into the raids on multiple occasions. One of the main issues here is the focus of the authorities on a specific ...

The issue of responsibility always stood acute in the minds of humanity. Throughout history, the fair division of responsibility was upon judges and rulers who decided what would be fair. Individual decisions without any systematic basis are not always fair, so there were made numerous attempts to give the answer to the question and resolve it once and for all. And while the cases where a group is responsible for an individual’s action seem more understandable and reasonable – Feinberg (1968, pp. 679-680), for example, even mentions the historical examples of collective responsibility, when the whole village was liable ...

Introduction

Social classes in Britain currently are not based on the amount of wealth that someone has accumulated unlike in the previous centuries.

Britain and particularly England has a highly class sensitive culture and the practical ways in which the people ...

For this organizational plan, I would propose studying a bank/currency trading organization.

What a manager would prospectively have to consider when implementing this kind of security plan for their organization is both physical and cyber threats to security. The reason for this is that Bank A is particularly vulnerable to both kind of threats pertaining ...

The question as to whether girls are becoming more delinquent remains a debatable issue (OJJP 2). While girls have always made up a significantly small portion of the juvenile justice population, offending by girls has increased over the years. Ideally, the current trends show an increase in the number of girls involved in the justice system. The portrayals by the popular media and press suggest that delinquency, especially drug use and violence among girls is on the rise. In some cases, the perception that girls are becoming more delinquent is attributable to the changes in women’s behaviours as ...

In order to understand crime levels, there are generally used three conventional sources that provide crime data: official crime reports, self-reports and victim surveys. Crime reports that are produced by criminal justice agencies include different information that depends on the regulations of the registering agency.

Introduction

Deviance and criminal conduct can be perceived as the “outcome of rational choices based on efforts, rewards, and costs involved,” citing Cornish and Clarke (1998). Moreover, Wang (2005, p. 105) posits that offenders are logical in their thinking patterns and will opt for choices that will reward them. This factor emphasizes the fact that even the most incorrigible and dangerous criminals and offenders will evince a reasonable thinking pattern. This is particularly true for serial criminals who exhibit intelligence to avoid capture. Over time, offenders will be to enhance their decision-making processes. Offenders will look to optimize opportunities ...

While the streets, courthouses and jails are the areas and locations that are commonly associated with the workings of the criminal justice system; two less recognized but equally relevant locations are the labs, examination rooms and computers of the criminalist and the criminologist.

For example, a criminalist’s analysis of evidence at a crime scene can assist police officers in determining ...

Victim facilitation, victim precipitation, and victim provocation are terms used to describe the impact a victim has on a situation which labels him/her as a victim.

For instance; if a person leaves his house unlocked while he is away this may be classified as an instance of victim facilitation. Victim precipitation and provocation have a similar definition.
