Becnel This Comment is brought to you for free and open access by the Law Reviews and Journals at LSU Law Digital Commons. It has been accepted for inclusion in Louisiana Law Review by an authorized editor of LSU Law Digital Commons. For more information, please contact [email protected] Repository Citation Larry C. Becnel, Civil Commitment Procedure in Louisiana, 31 La. L. Rev. (1970) Available at: https://digitalcommons.law.lsu.edu/lalrev/vol31/iss1/11 https://digitalcommons.law.lsu.edu/lalrev https://digitalcommons.law.lsu.edu/lalrev/vol31 https://digitalcommons.law.lsu.edu/lalrev/vol31/iss1 https://digitalcommons.law.lsu.edu/lalrev/vol31/iss1 mailto:[email protected] COMMENTS responsibility of providing a financially solvent enterprise which could satisfy a judgment secured by a plaintiff injured through breach of the above standards. However, because of the increas-' ing difficulty of the duties of the police force, it is felt that there should be a differentiation between negligent breaches and intentional breaches. In the former situation, the officer should, be disciplined by way of administrative procedure while the municipality should bear the brunt of a civil judgment for the torts of its employee. However, in the latter situation, the mental element makes it desirable that the officer and the municipality be liable in solido. It is noted that such a scheme presupposes that the veil of municipal immunity would be lifted as previously discussed. It is submitted that the adoption of the above proposals would give our courts the gauge by which to adequately judge and redress violations of the legal rights of criminal suspects and would in the end accomplish the purpose of upgrading our police force. The problem of inappropriate use of deadly force by a police .officer is as old and as complicated as the problem of crime itself. To criminally convict or to civilly condemn the individual policeman is to treat the symptom while encouraging the disease to fester. The causes of the problem are an inadequately trained police force and law in the state of generality to the point of uselessness. It is only when these causes are eliminated that the problem will be resolved. Van R. Mayhall, Jr. CIVIL COMMITMENT PROCEDURE IN LOUISIANA As of 1966, the United States had between 600,000 and 650,000 persons hospitalized because of mental illness.'

(Please critically reflect upon the question and bring in the literature. Answers should be between at least 1000-1500 words (excluding bibliography). 1. Was Hannah Arendt just in her claims against the treatment of A. Eichmann? Given state boundaries, what are the utilities and difficulties of the ICC and ICJ today. Explain using specific examples. 2. To start, is cosmopolitanism achievable? If so, what are some empirical examples of its existence today? Whether it is possible or not, is cosmopolitanism a favorable outcome or does individual state sovereignty provide some benefits? 3. Is cultural relativism a sufficient argument against the creation of the international body of human rights protection (IHRP) as it exists today? In other words, what is natural (universal) about natural rights? 4. How does Civil Society participate in the practice of IHRP? Give specific examples. ) It should be all the information in here: (All the week discussions) --------- Week 1 Discussion Please, answer ONE of the following. 1.) Which of the Human Rights Acts do you find the most important? Please explain. 2.) What is the largest challenge facing international human rights protection today? Has globalization and technology increased awareness and protection? Or, has the development of international trade led to greater levels of exploitation? 250 words students examples:Steven In my humble opinion, when talking about the Human Rights Acts, I believe the most important is Article 15. Which states that "1. Everyone has the right to a nationality. 2. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality. The reason for this is because Nationality, as well as our spiritual beliefs for example, is a part of our identity and our way of being. Our nationality can explain who we are, why we do things, and what we fight for. We our not limited to just a "legal" nationality because of birth, nor can we not be limited to our choices of nationality due to race and religion. This Act gives us a right to be the people that we truly are and express ourselves better. another exampleslucasI find The Universal Declaration of Human Rights the most important. It laid the modern framework for the liberal west's interpretation of human rights and successfully enabled a century-plus long expansion of human rights that translated into historic levels of freedom of speech, guarantee of liberty, and other fundamental human rights across the world.This ties into the second question - what is the largest challenge facing international human rights protection today. As the world order shifts away from one organized around the west towards a multipolar one organized around different power centers, some of which do not espouse western liberalism and democracy but instead authoritarianism, the continued expansion of human rights is threatened, especially in regards to protecting minorities. This trend goes hand- ...

Follow all instructions to the letter..... Discussion Board forums Students will participate in Eight Discussion Board forums. First, students will post an original thread of 450 words or more. Three additional sources beyond the course material (i.e. textbook, readings, and presentations) are required for the original thread. Add a biblical reference within the post. DB 1: Regardless of the philosophical approach one embraces with regard to the criminal justice system (due process vs. crime control, consensus or conflict model, or individual rights vs. public order), the police, courts, and correctional components must operate within a multicultural society; a society that embraces lifestyle diversity. Beginning with the material conveyed in the assigned reading and presentation, discuss how multiculturalism and diversity impact the application of those philosophical approaches by the criminal justice groups (police, courts, and correctional) charged with achieving justice. Expand upon the provided material with scholarly research to support your position. Finally, integrate within your discussion the impact of a Judeo-Christian viewpoint on the implementation of criminal justice to today’s society. · Textbook Readings Schmalleger: ch. 1 DB 2: The mission of policing was described by the author as covering 6 key areas: enforcing the law, apprehending offenders, preventing crime, predicting crime, preserving the peace, and providing services. With the advent of various forms of terrorism and transnational crime, the police mission has expanded beyond the traditional borders of burglaries and domestic disputes. Beginning with the material conveyed in the assigned reading and presentation, select 2 scholarly articles from the university criminal justice databases, and integrate those resources to discuss the use of intelligence-led policing (ILP) and the development of fusion centers to equip law enforcement for their expanded mission. Finally, integrate within your discussion the impact of a Judeo-Christian viewpoint on ILP and the development of fusion centers. · Textbook Readings Schmalleger: ch. 6 Article Readings Choose two scholarly articles pertinent to policing. These articles must be published within the last three years.They should help you as you write your Discussion Board forum for this module/week. Required Book: Schmalleger, F. (2011).
