Domestic Violence

“Domestic violence” can be defined as “the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault, and other systematic behavior [designed] to be part of a systematic pattern of power and control perpetrated by one intimate partner against another.” It is a contagion impacting people in every community regardless of social station in life, age, gender, racial background, nationality, or religious pursuit. This action is commonly followed by psychological abuse and extreme domineering dispositions against the other partner; however, this is only a fraction of the structured pattern designed to force and domination over the other.

Should the death penalty be mandatory for people that kill other people?

The saying goes do unto others what you would have them do unto you. Therefore, the price for taking away life should cost the offender his or her life.

The death penalty is a controversial issue and people base their arguments for or against death penalty on practical, emotional, religious or practical grounds. People in favor of the capital punishment argue that it improves peace in the society by ensuring that such people do not ...

There have been sections advocating for its abolishment and those for its reinforcement. However, statistics show that murder rates are increasing and break outs in prison increase due to advanced technology, hence there have been calls to make the death penalty for murder mandatory so as to rid offenders from the society and prevent the crime reoccurring. To make my essay stronger for the portfolio, I did revisions in the four sections of the ...

Introduction

Although rape and sexual assault are serious offenses, public discourse about these issues fail to clearly address the problems that victims go through even after these atrocious acts were committed against them. In reality, despite public acceptance of rape and sexual abuse as crime and the mandate for the punishment of those that commit these acts, the overall public response to these crimes are underwhelming to the point of bringing about detrimental impact on the life of victims. On one hand, we have a system that fails to prevent rape and sexual abuse and protect people and victims alike from ...

Introduction

Time has come to treat domestic violence with the seriousness it deserves. The failure by law enforcement officers to react to domestic calls immediately exposes the victim, as well as the community at large, to dangers that may lead to the eventual loss of life. As it has happened in the past, sometimes law enforcement officers do not treat domestic violence as any other crime. The cases of Thurman v. City of Torrington and Castle Rock v. Gonzales point to a failure by the police department to handle domestic violence with the urgency that it needs (Meloy & Miller, 2010). Therefore, ...

Disrespecting or abusing people in the name of religious or political beliefs, ethnic or racial origin, gender identity, or sexual orientation can be seen in college campuses, and places of work, all around the ...

Consent is one of the recognized grounds for a defense in the commission of a crime. This type of defense is usually invoked in the cases involving criminal sexual conduct, physical assault and battery. The court’s approach when recognizing consent as a defense will vary based on the causal conduct of harm afflicted to the victim by an accused.

As a general rule, the victim’s consent will not automatically excuse an accused from liability for the harm caused. It is actually the nature of a crime that ...

Restorative justice refers to the idea that the simple punishment through incarceration of a criminal may not necessarily end or satisfy the harm, injury or pain of the victim. Moreover, restorative justice argues that punishment by itself is unlikely to change the behavior of the offender in a way that guarantees he will not commit the same act(s) again and that he will feel remorse for the act(s) that he did commit. Accordingly, the aims of restorative justice are threefold. First, it aims to bring closure to the victim, whether it is through allowing them to fully participate in ...
