War examples
1) In 1866, the Supreme Court ruled in Ex parte Milligan that the military trial of Lambdin P. Milligan was illegal since civilian courts were still operating, and martial law cannot exist in such a situation. The ruling upheld the right to trial by jury.
2) In 1919, the Supreme Court upheld Charles Schenck's Espionage Act conviction for distributing leaflets urging draft resistance, establishing that free speech is not absolute and can be limited during wartime to prevent threats to national security.
3) During WWII, the Supreme Court upheld the internment of Japanese Americans in Korematsu v. United States, deferring to claims of military necessity, though the decision was later criticized for failing to
1950s
The 1950s in America saw a period of prosperity and cultural change. Eisenhower was elected president twice on the message of peace and prosperity. Popular culture reflected the growing consumerism of the postwar period through the rise of new franchises like McDonald's and products for the home like frozen dinners and Tupperware. The idealized image of the nuclear family and the housewife's role dominated social norms, though figures like Betty Friedan began criticizing the feminine mystique. The civil rights movement also gained momentum through new legislation and the work of activists.
Student worksheet 1
The student worksheet presents a questionnaire asking whether the government should have certain rights if they suspect an individual of terrorist activities. The rights inquired about include obtaining private records without consent, conducting searches and surveillance without warrants, indefinite imprisonment without charges, secret identities and trials without civilian juries or rights to legal counsel and appeals.

Introduction
Kroeger (2004) argues that it is an objective truth that government is usually less efficient than the private sector especially when in a price competitive environment. Morris (2011) argues that the public sector can be quite efficient when not handicapped by regulations designed to subsidize the private sector.
The debate of private sector versus public sector has raged for quite some time but the idea of privatization of prisons is relatively new to this debate. No one could deny that competition breeds efficiency in the typical sense that we think of in a free market economy but can we (should we) compare the sale of goods to the confinement and treatment of violent felons?
As you can see in the article "Overview: Trends in the Crime Control Industry," the trend is rapid growth of numbers in adults in private prisons and it does not appear that the trend will be going away.
Instructions
For this discussion, choose a position in favor of or in opposition to privatization of prisons. Research the topic and in your main post:
· Explain the rationale behind your position on privatization.
· Describe the basis for disagreement with the contrary position of privatization.
· Distinguish between working in a privatized prison and a government-run prison from the perspective of a corrections officer.
Discussion board 2
Introduction
Prisons are for confinement of defendants convicted of felonies and sentenced to more than 1 year of incarceration. All other felons, misdemeanants, and city ordinance violators that are sentenced to less than 1 year of confinement and those waiting arraignment go to a jail instead of a prison. Jails are typically run at the local level of government.
According to Minton and Zeng (2015), "The number of inmates confined in county and city jails was an estimated 744,600 at midyear 2014, which was significantly lower than the peak of 785,500 inmates at midyear 2008." They also noted that as of midyear 2014 whites were 47 percent, black’s 35 percent, and Hispanics 15 percent of the jail population.
California reduced its prison population and then had to turn right around and build more local jails to accommodate the former prisoners when they committed new offenses (Rubin, 2015). The jail building business has expanded to such an extent that the U.S. Department of Justice released a 24-page report on how to build community support for new jail construction (Elias, 2006).
Dodge City had Sheriff Matt Dillon; Miami, Florida had Crockett and Tubbs; and Maricopa County, Arizona has Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Obviously, the first two examples were television shows but you do see a lot of Sheriff Arpaio on television. Love him or hate him, he continues to win elections against considerable odds and stands his ground on issues that he believes in.

For this discussion, research Sheriff Joe Arpaio's tent city jail in Maricopa County, Arizona. .

RUNNING HEAD: THE RIGHT TO KILL 1
THE RIGHT TO KILL 6
THE RIGHT TO KILL OR NOT?
NAME
Institution
Police officers are people like any other person. Police officers risk their lives to protect the lives of others in the communities. They serve the public at any and all costs. When the police serve, they live in the communities they serve. Being a police officer does not change the genes of a person. The service for the public is not comfortable at all, and police officers face various challenges in their line of services. Most of the times, they are faced with many dilemmas. During these situations, a police officer is expected to take into account various factors which include the legal factors, the environmental factors and also the moral or ethical factors. Most of these dilemmas are very hard to decide on the spur of the moment, and they mostly require quick decision making. In the case of killing and not killing, it is a dilemma that most policemen are faced with almost every day. what is the thesis exactly? Be clear.
Police officers are mandated to protect citizens, and in doing so, they are not supposed to harm the public. The police officers should not be given the right to kill. This is because the decision made by a police officer in these situations are mostly under pressure, and sometimes they can be misinformed, and that can result in a fatal loss. An officer can apply extra force on a civilian who is entirely innocent. This will mean that the police officer has taken the life of the person he is supposed to be protecting (Balko, 2013). Citizens trust in government and law enforcement to offer protection to them and not to harm them. Every p ...

First step toward a better understanding of the political world is to establish what we mean by politics:
Competition among individuals and groups pursuing their own interests
Exercise of power and influence to allocate things that are valued.
Determination of who gets what, when, and how
Resolution of conflict

Schedule until spring break
This document outlines a class schedule for a US History course covering several topics from the 1920s to modern day, including the Great Depression, New Deal, World War II, Cold War, Nixon/Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush Jr., and Obama administrations. Key assignments include essays, simulations, debates, and a final AP exam review.
Court cases
Milligan v. national security regarding habeas corpus and fair trials. Schenck v. national security regarding freedom of the press. Japanese removal v. national security regarding deprivation of life, liberty and property.
Detention and military
The document discusses two government actions taken after 9/11 to fight terrorism: detaining individuals without charges and establishing military commissions to try non-citizens accused of terrorism. Supporters argue these are necessary to prevent future attacks and protect national security. Critics argue the detentions violate civil liberties and due process, while the commissions could permit indefinite detention and secret trials lacking civilian appeals. There is ongoing debate around balancing security concerns with protecting constitutional rights.
Civil liberties war examples
1) In 1866, the Supreme Court ruled in Ex parte Milligan that the military trial of Lambdin P. Milligan was unconstitutional since civilian courts were still operating. The ruling established limits on martial law.
2) In 1919, the Supreme Court upheld the Espionage Act conviction of Charles Schenck for distributing leaflets urging draft resistance, establishing the "clear and present danger" test for limiting free speech during wartime.
3) In 1944, the Supreme Court upheld the internment of Japanese Americans in Korematsu v. United States, deferring to claims of military necessity, though the decision was later criticized for failing to adequately protect civil liberties during wartime hysteria.
Amendments for consideration
The document summarizes key clauses from the US Constitution and amendments that guarantee civil liberties and rights. It includes clauses protecting habeas corpus, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, right to privacy, due process, right to a fair trial, and equal protection under the law.

RUNNING HEAD: THE RIGHT TO KILL 1
THE RIGHT TO KILL 6
THE RIGHT TO KILL OR NOT?
NAME
Institution
Police officers are people like any other person. Police officers risk their lives to protect the lives of others in the communities. They serve the public at any and all costs. When the police serve, they live in the communities they serve. Being a police officer does not change the genes of a person. The service for the public is not comfortable at all, and police officers face various challenges in their line of services. Most of the times, they are faced with many dilemmas. During these situations, a police officer is expected to take into account various factors which include the legal factors, the environmental factors and also the moral or ethical factors. Most of these dilemmas are very hard to decide on the spur of the moment, and they mostly require quick decision making. In the case of killing and not killing, it is a dilemma that most policemen are faced with almost every day. what is the thesis exactly? Be clear.
Police officers are mandated to protect citizens, and in doing so, they are not supposed to harm the public. The police officers should not be given the right to kill. This is because the decision made by a police officer in these situations are mostly under pressure, and sometimes they can be misinformed, and that can result in a fatal loss. An officer can apply extra force on a civilian who is entirely innocent. This will mean that the police officer has taken the life of the person he is supposed to be protecting (Balko, 2013). Citizens trust in government and law enforcement to offer protection to them and not to harm them. Every p ...

2) In 1919, the Supreme Court upheld the Espionage Act conviction of Charles Schenck for distributing leaflets urging draft resistance, establishing the "clear and present danger" test for limiting free speech during wartime.
3) In 1944, the Supreme Court upheld the internment of Japanese Americans in Korematsu v. United States, deferring to claims of military necessity, though the decision was later criticized for failing to adequately protect civil liberties during wartime hysteria.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
