Sjogren Syndrome(SS) is an autoimmune disease that causes lymphocytic infiltration of exocrine glands, primarily lachrymal and salivary glands. Simply put, it is a chronic immune disorder in which white blood cells of the patient attack saliva and tear glands. At times, glands that keep the vagina moist are also attacked resulting in vaginal dryness. In normal cases, humans' immune system generates antibodies to attack harmful material as virus and bacteria. Putting the cart before the horse, the immune system in SS patients starts producing autoantibodies and autoreactive cells that start attacking those very body parts that they are ...

My name The ABC Gang Intervention program is geared toward reducing cases of recidivism. Nonetheless, the number of gang members committing crimes, despite the availability of classes such as anger management and parenting, has increased. This begs the research question whether the ABC Gang Intervention Program lowers recidivism among released gang members in comparison to those who don’t participate in the program. It is important that the variables for evaluating the study are clearly spelled out (Bernard, 2011). The significance of these factors in establishing how effective the ABC program is cannot be understated. The variables are either ...

In Andy Meek’s article, “DDoS attacks are getting much more powerful and the Pentagon is scrambling for solutions,” the ongoing and increasingly pervasive threat of DDoS attacks is characterized as the most important type of cyber assault that the government and the international security community should concern themselves with. However, it is difficult, says Meek, to develop the kinds of tools that would allow organizations to recover from these kinds of attacks in a short period of time. Meek describes the increasing number of DDoS attacks across the Internet in recent years, with the groups committing these attacks ...

McElwee (2013) avers that the United States must overthrow the legal bases for the imposition of the death penalty. The system, according to McElwee, is not only crude; it is expensive, impotent, and biased. The primary objective of the criminal justice system is to prevent criminal activities, restore convicted criminals, and restrain indurated criminals. Psychologically speaking, being sent to prison for life attains these goals better than the imposition of the death penalty. A life sentence is an actual and effective deterrent; incarceration allows for the restoration of the offender; when the criminal is sentenced to death, ...

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 ...

I witnessed the body of a victim lying supine on an outside deck on arrival to the location of the reported shooting. From observation, it is evident that the victim is an elderly man since he has grey hair. The victim is dressed in a blue jacket (that is zipped up past the halfway point), blue shirt, and blue pants. The victim is wearing wire-rimmed silver glasses with blood spatter on the left lens. 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 ...

Terrorists have been an issue for many years and can attack many people at once for gratitude in doing so. Terrorists like to work in the geographical location they feel familiar and are comfortable with in order to implement their plan of action. Terror groups are all over the world, and are very exclusive in planning out there strategies for attack. Terrorists have many people in their groups all over the world. Some of the people who are in the group may be there only because they are forced too. These groups have many different types of illegal terrorists’ ’ ...

The use of an IT network can expose an organization to various risk factors that may prevent the organization from attaining its objectives. The occurrences of the risks are dependent on the size, nature, type of the network, and the number of people using the system (Sandvick, 2013). A risk environment can be low, medium, or high. It is hence important for an organization to adopt a risk assessment and provide solutions or recommendations for the possible risks identified. This paper gives the reader an insight into possible risks that can be experienced in an IT network environment.

“We are not fighting so that the enemy may offer us something. We are fighting to wipe out the enemy” (Hussein Mussawi) The NSA bulk surveillance program is oriented on detecting and preventing possible terrorist attacks in the United States and abroad. Although, methods required for the program arose lots of complaints about privacy and legality. Bulk phone calls and email records are being collected and analyzed by a special agency in order to detect any threats to the national security. However, these methods require to collect data to special storage, which means one’s private conversation could be ...

The two main factors in the formation of the United States as a sovereign country were the American Revolutionary War in 1775 and the American Civil War in 1861. In both cases, it was a struggle for independence and unity against the oppressive regime. In first case it was a struggle of the 13 British colonies against Britain and its loyalists (colonists who remained loyal to the Crown) between the Patriots (ordinary Americans). In second case, it was a war between the Americans from the North with freed or escaped slaves and the Americans of the South with slaves. ...

Slavery did not end in America following President Abraham Lincoln’s Proclamation of Emancipation more than 150 years ago. In fact, even after the civil war that was meant for freeing the Black Americans ended, the African Americans were treated as forced laborers, particularly in the southern states, until the beginning of the Second World War. Sadly, the lives of the human beings who had to undergo torture and worst treatment in the hands of the White Americans were in all respects equal to that of their torturers; their valuable and complex lives were torn apart by the injustice ...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is an emergency procedure done on individuals who suffer sudden cardiac arrest towards preserving the brain function intact until the person is taken to a hospital to provide further treatment to restore breathing and blood circulation. The procedure involves compressing the chest spontaneously at the rate of 100 times per minute, and tilting the victims head to bring the chin up, closing the mouth with one’s own and breathing in until the victims chest rises (“Learn CPR you can do it”). This procedure was officially recommended by the Paris Academy of Sciences in 1740 to ...

In the definition given by the General Medical Council (2016), the term “children” refers to “younger minors who do not have the maturity or understanding to make important decisions for themselves.” In the same report, the term “young people” is used for individuals who are “older or more experienced children and are more likely to be able to make decisions for themselves.” The law holds that when an individual reaches the age of 16, adolescents have the ability to render decisions regarding their respective welfare and status, though there are differences with regards to legal investigations ...

In our consciousness, the Holocaust is majorly related to Jewish history. A lot of focus is on the Jewish victims and history has singled out Jews as the main victims of holocaust in Germany during Nazi regime. However, it is understandably right to say that the holocaust was not all about the Nazi and Jews (Bergen, 2009). There are thousands of other non-Jew victims who are not captured exhaustively in history. Thus, it is equally right to say that groups targeted by the Nazi or their accomplices, killed or treated in ways that catapulted their deaths are the victims ( ...

In considering sentencing guidelines and mandatory minimum sentencing, there are similarities and differences. The nuances of each, when comparing one to another, can be confusing. The inherent intent of both is to ensure fair and justified sentencing when considering certain offenses. Among others, three significant purposes to both are that the punishment does not exceed the extent of the crime; that if the crime warrants, a mandatory minimum penalty should be assessed; and that given the offense, punishment is fair to all who commit a similar offense. Sentencing guidelines for federal offenses (addressed here as opposed to individual state ...

Police corruption is a huge issue that has been happening around the world. Police have contaminated and planted evidence in the past to ensure a conviction of an innocent person. This is not how police are supposed to conduct themselves, and allegations of corruption in the force are taken seriously. Over the years many offenders who were incarcerated for a crime that they had not committed have been set free, but there are many more who are still waiting for evidence to prove innocent. Once case that has been in the national spotlight is a police corruption case that ...

While it might be more common to think of the police, prison officer or prosecutor as the main actors in the criminal justice; community corrections personnel are as necessary as their colleagues in the effective administration of justice, especially since community corrections officers are the one that supervise offenders that are residing in the community outside of a jail or prison. As with any other party in the criminal justice system, community corrections personnel are as susceptible to misconduct as anyone else. To be sure, in recent years, misconduct in community corrections has become more widespread and a growing ...

The Washington Post article, “As drug industry’s influence over research grows, so does the potential for bias” by Peter Whorisky is an eye-opener on how pharmaceutical funded research is tailored to benefit the industry rather than reveal reality (Whoriskey, 2016). Various examples were cited in this article, like: The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) published a work that compared the benefits of four diabetic drugs and found that the new drug Avandia (made by GlaxoSmithKline), was the best among the four (Kahn et al., 2006). The study was funded by GlaxoSmithKline. According to Whoriskey, this study was ...

Criminal profiling is a sensitive line of work. It involves a special mind, available to open themselves up to, at times, the most depraved of characters. Profiling has become such a point of interest it is often the basis of television shows. The recent television adaptation of Red Dragon, aptly called, “Hannibal,” features young versions of Will Graham and Hannibal Lector. The two work together and, for a brief time even become friends. At the center of it is Graham, who works as a criminal profiler on various cases for the FBI. While the show is thrilling and dark, ...

Should sex offender registration laws be changed? Should laws governing student laws be changed? Should laws governing nursing homes be changed? Should sex offender registration laws be changed? Should laws governing student laws be changed? Should laws governing nursing homes be changed?

Should sex offender registration laws be changed? Should laws governing student laws be changed? Should laws governing nursing homes be changed? The violence based on the sexual ground is a significant problem in the modern society. In order to reduce the amount of sexual assaults, the government creates the laws and policies that are supposed to regulate ...

The name of school/university The juvenile offenders, at the end of the 18th and the beginning of 19th centuries, were sentenced, punished and served their punishments in jails or other penal units in very miserable conditions, along with adult criminals or mentally ill individuals. The situation changed under the actions of the new established movement for Prevention of Pauperism with leaders Thomas Eddy and John Griskom, who opposed to the current practice of placing juveniles in penitentiaries with adults and insisted on establishment of new units that would answer the requirements for domicile of poor and rambling through the ...

In the 1970s, there was a dramatic increase in violent crime rates across the nation. In response, policymakers and lawmakers began to crack down on crime. The “get tough on crime” paradigmatic shift of the criminal justice system has had far-reaching effects. Laws were passed that reflected a zero tolerance policy for certain offenses, carrying with it mandatory prison time. With more crimes eligible for imprisonment, more and more people are incarcerated in. The United States currently has the highest incarceration rate in the world (Johnson and Johnson, 2012, p. 43). The numbers are staggering. From 1977-2010, the federal ...

In the mid-14th century, Europe enjoyed robust trade with the Near East and the Far East. By the 1340s, sea trade routes had been established with faraway countries such as Syria, Egypt, Persia, China, and India (history.com, internet). Due to their trading interconnectedness, European port cities such as Messina (Sicily), Rome, Florence, Marseilles, and even the north African port of Tunis, were struck by what soon became known as "The Black Death" -- the plague (history.com, internet). Because of the confluence of factors that caused the rapid spread of The Black Death throughout an entire continent, and its high ...

Regin is a form of malware attack which is currently being dreaded by the security persons in several government agencies across the world (Daly and Rengel, 2010). Efforts to track the malware have been on for the last three years. The attempts have been made in the entire world. Despite that samples were found, they all did not relate to each other. Samples of regin can be dated back to 2003; however, the exact time when the first sample appeared in the world. Some of the institutions that have been affected by the existence of regin are government institutions, ...

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 ...

Book II of Paradise Lost features the counsel of fallen angels all summoned by Satan to agree on the further action to be taken. As Satan’s ultimate goal is to wipe Heaven out, he would not stop the war half way through, as the sweet moment of grasping limitless power seems to be just a few steps away. Therefore, he needs to persuade other devils to unite their efforts and attack Heaven with no hesitation, as this is the one and only chance for them to defeat God. To get the most of support from each devil, Satan pretends ...

Color-blindness is a concept that the author utilizes to help the reader understand the different racial, ethnic or cultural dimensions that can be ignored or abandoned in that respect in order to build a society of tolerance. While this is a good idea, I seem to have certain reservations about it. On one hand is the fact that each of us has a proud part of themselves, emanating from their historical or ancestral point. It is therefore not possible that we can avoid the issue of color, especially when it is used to express diversity. For instance a case of the NBA stars of ...

United States has been actively involved in the global affairs since 1940s. Worldwide, United States has the most stable government that was established before 1945. USA is a superpower country that has a strong military force and it has major economic resources. US have a lot of resources and most countries look up to the United States for help in cases of disasters. The economic strength of the United States justifies need for its continued involvement in the global affairs. Comparatively, in 2011, USA had a population of about 300 million people against 1.3 billion and 1.3 billion for China and India’s ...

Anne Marie’s view of the situation changed the moment that she met the killer of her father. Initially, Anne had been harboring anger and resentment towards the killer of her father. She had made it her life mission to ensure that he was always in custody. It is only after she met her and knew of his situation that she decided to forgive him. It was only until Anne met the killer of her father that she realized that it was not only her who had been affected by the incident. The killer ...

The United States has the highest number of incarceration cases in the world. The practice has been on the rise over the past decades where criminals remain behind bars especially if they underwent harsh sentences. The goal of sentencing and incarceration is deterrence, punishment, rehabilitation and incapacitation. This paper will initiate an understanding of the relationship between incarceration and deterrence that aids to reduce the repetition of the behaviors of the sex offenders who have served their sentences. Of late, sentencing initiatives are often created to promote the deterrence influence in the justice system. The law enforcers are ...

The level of success for the criminal & social services in responding to domestic violence is quite minimal. However, I agree that there is some notable improvement, and things are not as grim as they used to be in the past. Domestic violence was regarded as family affairs and, therefore, the victims did not receive the support they needed from a legal perspective (Stalans & Finn, 2006). Although it is presently recognized as a crime, the system is not able to fully handle the matter. There are numerous, victims who suffer silently primarily because they are in denial or are afraid making most ...

When Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy in 2008, the move precipitated a domino-like effect throughout the financial world. The mammoth financial services firm was, in essence, making high-risk credit decisions by violating one of the most basic banking credos: do not borrow short-term and lend out cash long-term (Wolff, 2011, internet). Decisions based on this philosophy became the norm of corporate culture at Lehman Brothers, a firm where top executives can be held as highly culpable in its ultimate demise. Lehman Brothers' executives, such as CEO Richard S. Fuld, compensated themselves enormously even as the firm began to sink. For example, ...

Response. Mandatory arrest policies are both excellent tools for law enforcement and problematic tools for law enforcement. In the case of a domestic violence situation, it is always better to try to remove the abuser or aggressor from the situation, because if the police or law enforcement leave and the abuse continues, it can easily escalate (Alvarez & Bachman, 2014). However, mandatory arrest policies can also result in unfair arrests, and there can be problems with utilizing mandatory arrest policies in certain situations. Indeed, in some situations, calling the police can result in both parties being arrested—even the victim (Alvarez & ...

When Hitler occupied Poland in 1939, it marked the beginning of Second World War. In the next six years (1939-1945), this war cost approximately 60 million lives around the world with Europe having maximum number of casualties. In this chapter, we would analyse the origins, course and the final outcome of this war especially focussed on the European region.The original idea behind Hitler's military build-up was to have control of natural resources spread outside Germany. Hence a war over these regions not only gives access to these resources but shows its domination and retains its lost glory from the previous ...

American Fear of Terrorists Post the 9/11 attacks and the ensuing war of terror, the prospects of a repeat attack by terrorists has not been far from the American consciousness. While historically, the USA had a psychological sense of safety due to its geographic location, surrounded by oceans on both sides and with friendly neighbors to the North and South, the rise of terrorist threats has mitigated this sense of security because terrorists pose asymmetric threats and do not rely on logistics that need fail-safe capability across oceans. Americans fear that terrorists can be homegrown; anyone with a sympathy to the ...

The additional confinement of sex offenders after serving their prison term is not a violation of their civil rights. The Supreme Court upheld that the Congress is duly authorized by the constitution to enact a legislation that authorizes the civil commitment of sexual offenders even after serving their sentence if found to be a danger to the public or to the community (United States v Comstock, et. al. 560 U.S. 526, 2010). It has been lawfully justified that the congress is given by the constitution such plenary power to enact laws that are necessary and proper that will carry out the effective ...

“Misplaced Priorities” is an opinion article in the US News that tells about the way the country spends more money on jailing people and less on the education of people. According to the author, these misplaced priorities have a very bad effect on the neighborhoods that are poor. The poor neighborhoods experience high rates of incarceration, and have bad schools (Stone, 2014). The author feels that priority should be given to education of people rather than on incarceration.

Bad schools do not provide quality education to students. The consequence of this is that students drop out of schools; or ...

Every American will forever feel the impact of the September 11, 2001 attacks. It is a hallow feeling that still resides in the hearts of us all. In the brief moments it took to execute the attacks, our lives changed forever; we realized our country was not impervious to outsiders, nor were we impervious to pain. It was a day that shook us to our core so deeply that we still hear echoes of the screams in the streets. The tragedy was insurmountable; in a matter of hours all of our lives changed forever. Though nothing will ever be the same, we ...

- 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 ...

The principal role and function of the criminal justice system is to ensure that justice is served to every citizen of the nation. Unfortunately, recent evidence reveals that the criminal justice system is increasingly failing victims of sexual abuse. Being the primary institution responsible for responding to sexually related offenses, victims of sex crimes face a lot of challenges in seeking justice.

Nancy Thoennes and Patricia Tjaden analyzed results from a National Violence against Women Survey and established that only 19.1 % of women who have been sexually abused have reported the crime to the relevant authorities. The same study revealed ...

According to statistics, driving under the influence has been one of the worst and most preventable causes of death in the United States. Unfortunately, despite the staggering statistics, people continue to drive every day under the influence. Research indicates that most people drive 80 times under the influence before law discovers them. It is, therefore, important to show such people how bad the statistics are wit cases involving D. U. I.

One of the most hearts wrenching statistics involved in D. U. I. is the loss of life. West ...

Trauma in pregnancy is one of the key contributors to maternal and fetal mortality. The potential impediments include maternal injury or death, internal hemorrhage, shock, direct fetal injury, intrauterine fetal demise, uterine rupture and abruptio placentae. The leading causes of obstetric trauma are motor vehicle accidents, assaults, falls, gunshots, and ensuing injuries. Ensuing injuries are classified as pelvic fractures, or penetrating trauma, and blunt abdominal trauma. The assessments and managements aspects of obstetric trauma are distinctive to pregnancy, while initial evaluation and resuscitation is always being directed maternally. If maternal stability is established, then vigilant evaluation of fetal well-being ...

“If it means that teen-agers will stop killing each other over designer jackets, then our public schools should be able to require their students to require school uniforms” These were the remarks, not mine, but of a concerned Bill Clinton back in 1996, when expressing his concerns over his weekly radio address. Today I am going to talk to you about how school dress codes promote better learning, promote equality and instill values students will use when they enter professional fields.

Secondly, school dress codes have been attributed to promote equality among students in school. Since every student adheres ...

Celiac disease is a condition where the immune system reacts to gluten, a type of protein in barley and rye. It is an autoimmune disorder, this occurs when the immune system do not function well, and starts to attack the organs and the tissues. The immune system of the body is designed to guard against foreign invaders. When people with this condition eat foods with gluten, the immune system create antibodies to this protein attacking the lining of the intestines. The causes of the inflammations in the intestines end up damaging the villi on the ...

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 ...

However, it is possible that hypertension is an incorrect diagnosis. Normal blood pressure should be bellow 120/80, but it is also considered that the blood pressure can deviate up to 140 mmHg systolic pressure and 90 mmHg diastolic reading. Because Mrs. Chang’s blood pressure reading is lower than 140/90, her case can be considered pre-hypertension at most (Cunha, 2010). Another possibility is that Mrs. Chang’s condition has changed since her last examination, but she could not have known that because she cannot remember her last examination. She currently appears to suffer from orthostatic hypotension rather than hypertension. ...

Cancer affects the body’s most basic unit, the cell. Normally, cells grow and divide to form new cells. When cells grow old, they die to make room for new ones and new cells grow only when the body needs them. However sometimes the old cells do not die or new cells are produced when not needed by the body they form tumors. Tumors can be either benign or malignant (National Cancer Institute, 2011). and organs.

Benign tumors are non-cancerous and when removed they do not grow back. Malignant tumors are cancerous and most instances life threatening. When malignant ...

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 ...

What Is Identity Theft? How Can Identities Be Stolen? What Can Be Done To Reduce The Impact Of Identity Theft On Victims? Identity theft is the wrong use of somebody’s personal information to commit a crime. It is a scam that is always in the media because of its high occurrence. This fraud normally leads to one getting a credit, merchandise or a service that is no entitled to. Victims cannot easily realize that their identity is stolen till when they are denied credit or employment, when a debtor comes to seek for payments that an individual never took.

In the philosophy of those that advocate for the implementation of capital punishment as a form of public policy in crime deterrence and punitive criminal agenda, the crime should befit the punishment. If a life has been taken, then the life of the one who took that life must be the “payment” for the crime. In the United States, the implementation of capital punishment as a crime deterrence policy is still much in force; of the 50 states in the Union, only 14 have abrogated the use of the death penalty in their criminal laws. However, with the prevailing economic conditions, ...

According to Karen (2013), Police Officers normally train often with guns but less so for the circumstances they get themselves in most of the times. OC spray, teasers and batons are usually on the duty belt of the officer but these may not all the time be viable choices. Other times some good old fashioned hand-to-hand combative is inevitable. Hence, when that time approaches, it is vital to one to have acquired the skills that will finish any violence as fast as possible There are several excellent hand-to-hand combative systems carried out, for example, Wing Chun Kung Fu ( ...

The enlightenment would introduce a new system of government and the most important one was sovereignty. The people had every reason to support enlightenment because it brought changes to their political culture. The sovereignty came to the citizens, and it brought equality that did not exist. People did not have businesses that were honorable and did not have the opportunity to own land (Outram, pg.137). During this age, enlightenment thinks endorsed ideas of natural law and progress in all their dealings. The people began to question their governments and leaders. They realized the oppression that the government was imposing upon ...

Technology surrounds us in various forms, and we accomplish results that would have been highly impossible without the commonly used technology, the Computers. As we become more familiar and assimilated to the computers, their flaws become our weaknesses. Every computer system runs on an operating system such as Windows, Linux, or Mac OS, and these systems can be prone to threats from attack sources, which exploit the weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Windows and Linux have their own advantages and disadvantages; however, their vulnerabilities cannot be ruled out. This paper discusses the differences of Windows and Linux vulnerabilities and a few methods ...

After the end of World War One, countries decided to come together, and this led to the creation of the League of Nations. Among the leaders who called for its formation was the American President Woodrow Wilson who believed such a body would bring peace to the world. It was headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, and was given the mandate of resolving international disputes that might arise between member countries. The main function of this organization was to avoid a recurrence of the disturbing war that had just been witnessed. It was to ensure universal peace within the basis of the fundamental ...

(Name of your Institution) The US has a diverse population, with people from across the world studying and working in every state of the nation. This cultural diversity has led to the creation of minorities and there are several challenges that emerge in terms of interracial interactions. The synergy and cooperation between different cultures within the grand American culture is critical for the progress of the nation and the welfare of its people, regardless of their race, culture and ethnicity. In the course of my studies I have gathered substantial information to corroborate my belief that diversity in ...

Around one third of the homeless people are recorded to be mentally ill, and compared to the other population they have a higher prevalence in mental in illness. Many of these homeless people are victimized daily and their kind of life is quite abysmal. Studies have found that after treatment most of the homeless people with mental illness are likely to go back to the streets. This happens when they are disengaged from aftercare treatment or if they find their accommodation uncomfortable. The only way to avoid this after discharging mentally ill patients is by providing them with well coordinated ...

There have been proposals to divide the juvenile courts in two divisions which may result to both advantages and disadvantages to the taxpayer and the youth offender. Under this proposed system, the offender shall either be tried under the juvenile delinquency court and there are those who will be tried under the status offender court. As a general rule, majority of the youth offenders are charged for delinquency cases have been classified as status offenders. One of the benefits or advantages of dividing the juvenile system in two divisions will redound to the benefit of the status offenders since ...

Several states across America are proposing that school employees should be allowed to carry concealed weapons at school. This was prompted by the Sandy Hook mass murder. Twenty first-graders and six adult staff members were killed in mass murder at Sandy Hook Elementary School in the quiet village of Sandy Hook in Newtown, Connecticut on December 14, 2012. Adam Lanza, the man behind what is now considered the second deadliest mass shooting by a single person in American history, was reported to have killed his mother at their Newtown home before driving to the school. Despite the upgraded security protocol ...

Conspiracy theories and rumors are the creation of people who have extraordinary minds to exaggerate ideas and event happenings in a non-desirable or negative way. People who spread rumors tend to have a lack of education and wisdom. However, it is also observed that even education does not stop people from sharing information that is not even known to exist. Some people disseminate information while threatening about something such as GMO foods or weapons of mass destruction etc. Thus, it is a continuing practice in today’s world to speak without thinking and believing in things or rumors that do not exist ...

The majority of the narrator’s in Edgar Allan Poe’s stories have at least a little bit wrong with them. Even in “Pit and the Pendulum,” while the narrator appears to be an innocent victim of the Spanish Inquisition, his time below ground has certainly pushed his perspective toward the breaking point.

- Can such violence also be attributed to individual violence, based upon the perceived notions of a "lax society?" As against individual violence, violent homophobic crimes are a manifestation of an irrational and visceral feeling towards homosexuality. The extreme vilification and discrimination against people with same-sex sexual orientation is often justified by invoking the notion of lax society, where ‘lax’ implies something that is ‘lacking in strictness’, ‘derelict’ or ‘not easily controlled’. This notion is rooted in the ‘right realism’ school of thought that regards all criminal incidents as social problems warranting prompt and practical solutions. (Right Realism and Crime, ...

Criminal justice usually does not deal with motivations of the crime, but only the crime. The judge does not ask why the crime was committed, but only whether the crime was committed. The question of motivation related to ‘why’ a particular crime was committed (Steinberg, n.d). Although, it does not make much of a difference in courts of justice, but for criminal investigations, it does. Particularly, in case of homicide, the investigator does seem to form hypotheses about various people around the victim regarding the possible motives for which those people may have committed the crime. Even though, this does not ...
