Cyberbullying

The universal utilization of the Internet, smartphones, and laptops have engendered new kind of bully on the school playground: cyberbullying. What makes cyberbullying an especially dangerous form of bullying is that it often takes place off campus. While schools unquestionably have the authority to punish bullies who threaten or harm children on school grounds, their authority to punish bullying that takes place on the Internet and oftentimes at home is a more difficult issue. As of yet, there is no comprehensive federal law addressing cyberbullying. In turn, the states have largely taken it upon themselves to define and punish ...

Introduction

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) is the state law regulating the age discrimination in employment opportunities in the US. It was implemented in 1967 to endorse work of the older employees based on their input rather than age. The Act inhibits discrimination, and assists in solving problems that come up with the aging labor force. The Act, ADEA, forbids employment discrimination based on age for employees over 40 years. The original law, enforced in 1967, covered staff between 40 to 65 years (Eglit, 1992). However, subsequent amendments raised and then abolished the upper age boundary, ending compulsory ...

As the nation and world progressively go online to work, play, and communicate with one another, computers and cyberspace have increasingly become targets and tools of criminal activity. To be sure cybercrime has quickly grown to be one of the major challenges facing police and law enforcement officials. The television series CSI: Cyber attempts to portray how a team of special FBI anti-cybercrime agents would investigate and arrest the cybercriminals that haunt cyberspace. As in all television police dramas, the acts and actions that take place on the show are a mix of truth and fantasy. However, since the ...

I. While person gets to know something regarding crime or related issues, the offender, the victim are the two parties that necessarily come to mind. The victim, generally, refers to the party that was harmed as a result of the offender’s violation of a criminal law. The key underlying element in this definition is that a person, the offender, is motivated for financial or personal gain to violate a law, rule, regulation or custom. This violation then leads to the injury of another person, the victim. In this sense, the victim is often seen as an unfortunate consequence ...

Plausible bigotry in the criminal justice system

Over two decades ago, a bystander recorded Los Angeles police officers brutally beating an African American man, Rodney King. Members of the African American community had long trumpeted police abuse; with the videotape, these hopefully had enough evidence to crystallize their accusations against the “white-controlled” police force. But at the trial, the jury absolved the four of using inordinate force; the city was engulfed in a riot. Though two of the officers were eventually convicted in Federal court, the case according to African American community leaders shows the extreme difficulty for members of racial minorities to obtain justice ...

I. Introduction Cyber or computer crime refers illegal acts in which a computer or computer network is a: target of the act, a facilitator of the act, or platform on which the act occurs. Regardless of the category, computer crimes as a whole is one of the fastest growing areas of criminality.

1. According to the United Nations (UN) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) sexual harassment is defined as “unwelcome behavior of a sexual nature” that can include unwanted sexual advances, requests for sexual favors or other “verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature” (UN Women, n.d.). Under their definitions there is no differentiation on whether this is only applicable to a work environment or universally applicable in any situation that it is encountered. Accordingly, there is no reason that there should be a different standard of behavior between the workplace or personal relationships; sexual harassment is the ...

Abstract

Nothing offends a society and community’s sense of morals and safety than instances where the most vulnerable of the community are subjected to brutal and crimes that define reason. Various agencies played significant parts in the perception of sexual felons as brutal, unfeeling and callous “brutes” out for the satisfaction of their own perverted carnal pleasures. However, research shows that what the media and other agencies reported tend to skew a proper study and comprehension of the proper understanding of what actually comprises sexual deviance. In addition, the public’s understanding of sexual felony is mainly founded ...

In this essay, I will analyze two articles presenting arguments concerning gun rights. The first article will rely almost exclusively on pathos in order to persuade the intended audience. The other article will rely principally on logic. Both articles present effective arguments, and both articles are well-written. The article that relies are pathos is more persuasive while the article focusing on logos has more credibility. When someone mentions the American Sniper, a picture is brought to memory of a man well-trained in the military with firearms. Likely a thought will also arise concerning his tragic death, which also involved ...

Abstract

Domestic violence, as its name suggests, involves intimate partner and family violence. The law has historically treated domestic violence as only a secondary issue. The treatment reflects the longstanding notion that family and domestic matters are private and should not be subject to law enforcement interference. Compounding this blasé attitude towards domestic violence was the fact that traditionally, women were considered to belong to their husbands. Until very recently, a husband could not be prosecuted for the rape of his wife. What is important to note is that domestic violence affects all types of persons. There is no one, ...

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. Victim facilitation describes a situation where the negligent behavior of the victim makes it easier for the offender to commit a crime. The victim is partly to blame for a crime in a situation of victim facilitation. 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. In situations where the victim ...

Closer examination of his face reveals that there are numerous evident blood spatter patters below his nose on his upper lip, chin, and upper left ...

Majority of the health conscious young women experience Anorexia, which is an eating disorder associated with poor eating habits motivated by the fear of becoming fat.

Binge eating is another feature of eating disorder affecting majority of young women. Women given to binge eating eat more often high quantities of food ...

Interpersonal physical violence (committed against women and children)

Human trafficking and concomitant criminal sexual exploitation of women and children in the XXI century is becoming the fastest growing and highly lucrative activity for transnational organized crime. Statistical data of different sources irrefutably specify on the tendency of increasing human trafficking in many countries of the world. It is necessary, to mark that this crime is not a problem of one state and an issue that has gained an international dimension. The danger of human trafficking is that the buyer gets as a result of the deed of sale full control over the victim and may dispose of ...

Introduction

The Sandy Hooks debacle sent shock waves throughout the American education system and by extension, compelled other forward thinking nations to review their respective educational systems. In unison, the community around the Sandy Hooks Elementary School, the nation and the international community at large rallied behind the victims of the tragic events. However, one academician in particular shocked the world, the nation and more so, the victims of the fatal shootings (Jaschik, 2015). An associate professor, James Tracy tenured with the Florida Atlantic University’s School of Communication and Media Studies related the events to some conspiracy theory. Parents ...

Introduction

Criminal justice administration is a challenging role since it determines the outcomes of operations conducted by any law enforcement agency. The decisions made by individuals in this role provide the infrastructure to prevent crime, uphold the law, serve and protect the people, and maintain the peace. The professional conduct of such administrators is often under threat due to undue pressure from local politicians, organized crime leadership, and even a Federal or State law enforcement agency. The chances for succumbing to pressure are high when ethics are lacking. Ethics influence the moral decisions that administrators make. Ethical behavior constitutes to ...

Abstract

Modern science and technology have had lasting impacts in the area of criminal investigations. Forensic science enables police, law enforcement, and investigators to detect small amounts of evidence left on items and persons at crime scenes. Certain evidence, such as tiny blood stains, were once invisible to the naked eye and had little value to an investigation because the technology for testing the evidence was simply not invented yet. A criminal always transfers some kind of trace evidence between himself and the victim during every crime. Trace evidence is broad and includes things from soil and paint chips to ...

Victims and Crime Evaluation

Introduction

The criminal justice system is used as a guide to maintain law and justice in the world. The criminal justice system ensures that all the branches of the government are used to maintain law and order by controlling and deterring crime, upholding social control, and sanctioning the people who have violated the law with criminal punishments/penalties, and rehabilitation efforts. The criminal justice system comprises of three primary elements that are, the courts, the legislative, and corrections (Siegel & Senna, 2005). In the central bodies of the criminal justice system, each one of them has individuals that ...

The two short stories "The Cask of the Amontillado" by Edgar Allan Poe and "Shooting an Elephant" by George Orwell depict psychological portraits of the protagonists’ criminal behavior. However, while both characters commit a crime, their motives, as well as the patterns of thinking and behavior are absolutely different. Montresor, the protagonist of “The Cask of the Amontillado”, commits a murder as a revenge that is a result of his pride and jealousy to his victim Fortunato. Montresor is portrayed as a criminal, who is so absorbed with the revenge that he does not mention why exactly he retaliates. ...

Jane Doe

In a recent article on a website called DNAinfo, Noah Hurowitz writes about a man who has been linked to two violent attacks near Union Square in New York City. The details pertaining to this particular felon provide ample information to relate it to the general theory of criminology. The incidents that are listed as offenses involving this particular individual show a history of minimal self-control, which creates the groundwork for justification in the application of the general theory to the crimes committed by this individual. The perpetrator, Gage Quinones committed the recent crime while released without bail on ...

Abstract

The widespread use of the Internet, cell phones, and laptops has introduced a new type of bully on the school block: cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is a particularly difficult type of bullying for schools to punish and prevent. This is because most incidents of cyberbullying occur off school grounds. Currently, there is no federal law that specifically addressed cyberbullying. It has been largely left up to the states to define the parameters of cyberbullying and to set forth the corresponding penalties and punishments for such infractions. While some states extend criminal liability for cyberbullying off school grounds, other states limit liability ...

Firearms have been used in committing crimes for centuries. It was not until the 1990’s that firearms and bullets could be connected to one another. Every time a gun fires it leaves an imprint that is identifiable. Each firearm has its own unique print that can be used to determine if a bullet was fired from that same weapon. Firearm ballistics and examination has been used in determining criminal cases for many years now. One case that was solved by firearm ballistics was in 2001. The case had been cold for over 40 years, and because of the ...

Various crimes may be similar to each other by their appearance, but very different reasons could motivate the individuals who commit the same offense. And also, people who commit similar crimes can understand the meaning of their actions differently. Canter and Young indicated four roles and central themes, which can be recognized in narratives of criminals. There are a victim, hero, professional and taking revenge among the roles and irony, quest, adventure and tragedy among narratives` themes.

Part 1

Notably, the abuse of older people has been observed to gain ground in recent times. The minority groups have mostly been on the receiving end and, in particular, the Hispanic community. In general, the abuse of older people may either exist as an act of omission which is also referred to as neglect or as an act of commission (Rodriguez, 2015). The harm may be intentional or unintentional. Such abuses occur in physical, psychological or financial forms. Whichever the case, such abuses are likely to result in sufferings, pain and injuries which would have been prevented in the first ...

Bloodstain analysis has been studied since the late 1800’s. The study of bloodstain can help in identifying if a crime was committed or if it was an accidental misfortune. A person who analyzes blood splatter patterns should be trained and educated in how this process works. If the specialist who examines bloodstain is not trained properly then outcome of the theory could be false or misconstrued. A person who is legally certified to analyze blood stain patterns must possess “characteristics of stain pattern, proper identification and examination of blood pattern, precise documentation of blood pattern and stains” . One ...

Domestic Violence Shelter

Domestic violence is an ongoing problem affecting 10 million people every year and accounting for 15% of violent crime, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence [NCADV] (n.d.).

A domestic violence shelter designed to address the needs of all those impacted by domestic violence can provide the first steps to regaining control of one’s life through counseling, case management, victim advocacy, medical and behavioral health referral, and vocational, legal and educational support. ...

Horror movies are a controversial and complicated subject in terms of the influence they have on the viewers. Some people favor such films, stating that they have a powerful therapeutic effect – like any form of art does. Others are rightly afraid that being accustomed to violence on the big screen leads to being accustomed to violence in the real life. In any case, the benefits which horror films have to offer for the emotional well-being are worth exploring. In his essay Why We Crave Horror Movies, Stephen King approaches the controversial phenomenon of people's attraction to the morbid and ...

During the commission of every crime, there is always trace evidence transferred between the criminal and the victim. There are many types of trace evidence ranging from soil and paint chips to blood, and body fluids. Before forensic science, it was much easier for criminals to get away with horrific acts and ...

Introduction

The law forbids the discrimination based on sex in the workplace. According to Hersch (2011), of the 90,000 employment discrimination claims reported annually, about 14,000 are sexual harassment allegations. It is worrying to note that sexual harassment makes the victims feel intimidated, humiliated, undermined, or offended. It also interferes with their performances and, thus, prevents them from reaching their full potential. As the HR manager at the company where an employee complains about being sexually harassed by a male co-worker, I would take the necessary steps to solve the problem immediately. I would first establish the facts ...

Introduction

This essay reviews the various aspects of evidence gathering and applies them to the exclusionary rule and the fruit of the poisoned tree. The primary purpose of the paper is to discuss possible instances that officers can consider to ensure the quality of the evidence gathered in the Ellis’ “Who did it?” case. It shows just how complex an investigation can become should the officers acquire a taste for unreasonable and illegal means of collecting information. Therefore, the following is an assessment of these elements.

The Exclusionary Rule and Fruit of the Poisonous Tree

The exclusionary rule disallows the federal system from using evidence collected in violation of ...

It has been close to two years since Malaysian Boeing MH17 being downed over the disputed territory of eastern Ukraine. In the early hours and days of the tragedy, the media of most world countries, whether print, online, or television, seemed to be trying nothing else other than to cover the continuous story. While journalists are not tripping over each other in a bid to publish the sensational materials presently, the interest in the story has not ceased completely, neither has the investigation that is still to name the guilty party. Until it has, media will continue their coverage ...

Marriage among slaves helped them see their master as either good or bad. A good master let them have a church wedding and all the trimmings. The Bride and Groom chose each other and were in love. The opposite would be the bad master who was just out to make money and saw his slaves as little more than cattle. They had no say in who they married or if they could get married. Some men fathered dozens of children with different woman and had little contact with his children. A pregnant slave was seen as a good and ...

Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The Tell-Tale Heart” comprises, in only 2200 words, so much cleverly built suspense, that it has become one of his most renowned works. In the story, an unreliable narrator, a mad murderer, tells the story of his murder in order to convince the audience that he is not mad. The story is rich in symbolism and in clues which allow the readers to make sense of the events, to anticipate the murder and to understand the reasons for the narrator’s crime. However, one of the most important elements of fiction in this ...

DNA technologies are regarded as transcendent of the contingencies of human action that also symbolizes neutrality and truth (Santos 200). In fact, it is through these DNA technologies that provide the source of neutrality and objectivity that will explain the circumstances surrounding the commission of crimes. Thus, the conduct of forensic examinations using DNA, fingerprints and blood evidence serve as keys towards the resolution of criminal cases. The role of the laboratories and forensic experts is to preserve their professional autonomy by providing scientific expertise through the translation and conversion of criminal traces that will help in the resolution ...

Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were brutally murdered between 10:15 p.m. and 10:35 p.m. on Sunday June 12, 1994 in the front of Nicole Brown Simpson’s Brentwood condominium located in Los Angeles, California. O.J. Simpson committed these murders. The witness testimony and the evidence at the crime scene of the murders of Brown Simpson and Goldman clearly indicate that O.J. Simpson committed the crimes. However, the incompetence of the Los Angeles Police Department during the investigation of the murders allowed the defense to create reasonable doubt in the minds of the jurors so that a non-guilty verdict ...

CONFLICT MANAGEMENT

Nowadays the situation in correctional facilities becomes more and more complicated. It is explained by multiple reasons simultaneously: criminalization of previously non-criminal activities, lengthening of sentences, which consequently lead to overpopulation of prison population. Mentioned overcrowding of jails and correctional facilities is dangerous not only for the state budget, which bears the burden of funding them, but is also hazardous as criminogenic environment. In other words, there are many internal and external areas, which are likely to trigger potential conflicts with results of unpredictable gravity. Among the most common external fields of possible conflicts is undoubtedly the lack of ...

The very word “human trafficking” brings chills of distaste to the average American. However, many adults do not understand the actual scale of the practice and what it entails. Around the world, children are forced to be murdering soldiers, children of both genders are compelled to become prostitutes, and migrants workers labor for little or no wages in a desperate attempt to feed themselves (Office of the United States Press Secretary, 2014). President Barack Obama issued a proclamation stating the United States fully recognizes the problem and in keeping with historic values, dedicated the power of the country to ...

Capital punishment has always been a controversial issue. In 1791, before the French Revolution. Maximillian Robespierre delivered a speech arguing against the death penalty. A few years later he led the Reign of Terror, and organized mass executions, which exemplifies the way capital punishment is often politicized and used for specific agendas, rather than as a form of rational punishment. Today, in the U.S., recent technological advancements, including DNA testing, has exonerated inmates on death row. There is a racial and socioeconomic element to the debate, because more inmates on Death Row are poor minorities. Some highly publicized cases ...

Karpetis, George. "How experienced social workers apply recovery-oriented mental health policies in everyday practice." European Journal of Social Work 23.1 (2020): 106-117.

Social workers are the first line helpers to people who have recently suffered stress, trauma, and crisis events. They go through various training to handle these individuals because each individual has a different perspective and crisis or trauma that they may have undergone, and each one of them requires a different kind of attention. Most of these techniques that social workers use include offering psychological first aid, listening to the victim, and offering them a temporary ...

The problems associated with oppression and privileges are present in today’s society and it is up to the society as a whole to acknowledge the social issues in the society (Johnston 125). The art of silence in social issues allow these types of oppressions to continue among people. For example racism, sexism, homosexuality among other things is some of the things the society minimizes through silence. Johnston makes crucial and relevant points regarding the society because we have been socialized to believe that our merit relies on how hard we work (Johnston 118). This may be true but given ...

Personal experience with discrimination

Social and cultural diversity across the world affects how individuals are perceived and handled in different social settings. It is the quality of different cultures as opposed to monoculture across the global world. Even though the United States has made an outstanding effort to curb discrimination, traces of these acts still exist specially in the New York City (Belmont, 2011). This paper reflects my own personal experience both at my home town in New York City and abroad, regarding personal biasness and discrimination that I have experienced in different social settings upon factors such as race, gender, religion, socioeconomic ...
