Bush Sr. Troy University CJ 2241 February 4, 2014 Introduction Criminal law generally refers to State and Federal laws which make certain that make certain behavior illegal and therefore punishable by either fines and/or imprisonment (Schopp, Weiner, Bornstein & Willborn, 2010). Criminal cases therefore, are charges which are followed by prosecutors for violations of criminal statutes. It is paramount that the law is always upheld in order not to compromise the legal system and also not to violate the rights of the perpetrator (Carmen, Ritter & Witt, 2008). In this particular instance, we are going to compare two cases which may have possibly infringed the 8th Amendment which awards every person to free from cruel and unusual punishment (Bourke & Loeb, 2008). Discussion Comparing the Hudson v. McMillian (90-6531) case and the Kennedy v. Louisiana (07- 343) case, it is quite obvious that in both, the rights of the inmate Mr. Keith Hudson and defendant, Mr. Patrick Kennedy’s 8th Amendment rights were violated (Schopp, et al, 2010). Mr. 4Hudson claimed that he was beaten by two Prison Guards namely, Marvin Woods and Jack McMillian as their supervisor, Mr. Arthur Mezo watched (Carmen, et al, 2008). On the other hand, a Louisiana Jury established that Mr. 1Patrick Kennedy was guilty of aggravated rape of his 8 year old step-daughter under the Louisiana aggravated rape statute (Bourke & Loeb, 2008). Facts In the Hudson and McMillian case, 2the District Court ruled that the Prison guards had definitely applied excessive force when there was no actual need to do so, therefore violating the 8th Amendment (Schopp, et al, 2010). This subsequently entitled Hudson 10to damages. The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals however reversed the ruling citing that an inmate ought to lay bare ‘significant injury’ while claiming that his 8th Amendment rights have in one way or the other been violated due to the use of excessive force (Carmen, et al, 2008). On the other hand, the Kennedy v. Louisiana 8case, in a 2003 jury, the District Court established that Mr. Patrick Kennedy was guilty of the 1998 rape of his step-daughter who was 8 years old then; in line with the recommendatio ...

Running head PHILOSOPHIES & RULINGS1Running Head PHILO.docx
The document discusses the philosophies and key cases related to the Eighth Amendment's prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment across different Supreme Court eras. It provides an overview of major cases from the Warren Court, which established that addiction is an illness, to the Burger Court that ruled death is an excessive punishment for rape. The Rhenquist Court prohibited death penalties for the mentally disabled and juveniles. The Roberts Court has so far upheld lethal injection methods but may reconsider the constitutionality of the death penalty in the future based on recent trends.
Prosecutor Article
This document summarizes a recent Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court case, Commonwealth v. Keo, that addressed whether a prosecutor can argue inconsistent theories of criminal liability against multiple defendants charged with the same crime but tried separately. The court held that doing so does not necessarily violate a defendant's due process rights. The document discusses the court's reasoning and compares this case to precedent from other jurisdictions. It summarizes the facts of the underlying criminal case, the procedural history, and the court's analysis of when inconsistent prosecutorial theories may amount to a due process violation.
Final exam review
The document provides an overview and review of key concepts related to the 8th Amendment. It discusses the rights protected by the 8th Amendment regarding bail, fines, and punishment. It summarizes important Supreme Court cases related to bail, asset forfeiture, and what constitutes cruel and unusual punishment. The document also examines whether the death penalty violates the 8th Amendment's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. Finally, it reviews how the 8th Amendment applies to corrections and prisoner treatment.
Holloway memo-filed-7-28-14
This document discusses the case of Francois Holloway, who was convicted of three counts of carjacking and three counts of using a firearm during a crime of violence (18 U.S.C § 924(c)) based on the same conduct. Due to the mandatory consecutive sentencing requirements of § 924(c), Holloway received a total sentence of 57 years and 7 months in prison. The U.S. Attorney has now agreed to vacate two of Holloway's § 924(c) convictions, recognizing that his original sentence was unjust and that he has demonstrated rehabilitation during his 20 years in prison. Holloway will now face resentencing on the remaining counts.
Jones v Saudi Arabia - summary
1. The document summarizes a discussion on the UK House of Lords decision in the Jones v. Saudi Arabia case regarding state immunity.
2. The Lords upheld state immunity and immunity for individual state officials for torture committed outside the UK, finding no conflict between immunity rules and international rules prohibiting torture.
3. The Lords rejected arguments that universal civil jurisdiction over torture is required by international law in the same way as universal criminal jurisdiction.
JUS(665)
Under the doctrine of parens patriae, the state has an obligation to ensure the safety and well-being of children. The juvenile court system that emerged in the late 19th century was based on this principle of the state as a parent. While seeking to rehabilitate rather than punish young offenders, juvenile courts also established some basic constitutional rights for minors derived from Supreme Court cases like Gerald Gault. Juvenile proceedings differ from adult criminal cases in focusing on rehabilitation over punishment and using detention hearings rather than bail. The Supreme Court has significantly shaped national criminal justice policy through cases that have reflected the ideological leanings of successive Chief Justices like Warren, Burger, Rehnquist, and Roberts.
JUS665
The document discusses the doctrine of parens patriae and its relevance to juvenile courts. It explains that parens patriae refers to the state's role in protecting the welfare of children. The juvenile court system was established in the late 19th century due to concerns around neglected and abused children from urbanization. While juvenile courts grant children some constitutional rights, they are still based on the concept of parens patriae and aim to rehabilitate rather than punish young offenders. The document also compares the procedures of juvenile courts to adult courts, noting differences in charges, trials, sentencing goals, and other processes.
PrisonersRights
1) Sexual assault in prisons has been a widespread and recurring issue that was largely ignored until the passage of the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) in 2003. The PREA established guidelines for preventing and responding to sexual abuse in prisons.
2) Inmates have brought lawsuits under 42 U.S.C. 1983 claiming that sexual assault violates their 8th Amendment right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment. However, obstacles created by the Prison Litigation Reform Act have made it difficult for inmates to bring these cases.
3) The National Prison Rape Elimination Commission was established to further develop guidelines around prevention, reporting, and remedies. This includes improving administrative processes and helping inmates overcome barriers

sTORMING THE cOURRT PAPER
The document summarizes and analyzes the book "Storming the Court" which discusses several legal cases involving Haitian refugees. It finds that while the adversarial legal system was generally followed, it did not necessarily lead to just outcomes. In the first case discussed, the appellate court found the refugees had no legal rights, contradicting international law. Subsequent cases saw the government try to block justice through appeals, sanctions, and circumventing rulings. Overall, the document argues the adversarial system can be manipulated to produce unjust results and does not guarantee compliance with the law or social norms.
Ch 20 Appeals Process
The document summarizes the appellate and postconviction relief processes in the US criminal justice system. It describes the different levels of appellate courts, from intermediate appellate courts to courts of last resort. It then explains the various stages of the appellate process, including filing notices of appeal, submitting briefs, oral arguments, and issuing opinions. The document also discusses options for postconviction relief like habeas corpus petitions that allow prisoners to challenge their convictions after exhausting appeals. It provides an example of the lengthy appeals process in the Robert Glen Coe death penalty case over two decades.
Curban five-1
The document provides background information on the case of the "Cuban Five", five Cuban nationals who were convicted in the US on charges related to spying for Cuba. The key concerns discussed are the fairness of holding their trial in Miami given pervasive anti-Castro sentiment, conditions of their pre-trial detention, and questions around the evidence for one defendant's conviction for conspiracy to murder. The document also notes the UN Working Group's finding that the trial failed to meet international fair trial standards.

Philosophies of Punishment

Section 2.1 Philosophies of Punishment CHAPTER 2
In 1988, Tina Elliot tried to buy a half kilo of cocaine from an undercover officer in Georgia. She was convicted and was sent to the Georgia state prison for a year. Upon her release, Tina and her five children were reunited, but in 1993 she was indicted
by federal prosecutors for the same offense and sentenced to 20 years in federal prison.
Terry Woodard found himself in the same situation in 1989. After successfully completing
2 years of state parole supervision for possession with intent to distribute methamphet-
amine, he was arrested and convicted for the same offense in federal court and sentenced
to 10 years in prison without the possibility of parole.
The punishment of Tina Elliot and Terry Woodard reflects what some criminologists call
dangerization. Dangerization is a view that assumes that society can be protected by
predicting and controlling the risk and danger of victimization that some individuals
pose to society (Lianos & Douglas, 2000). In this case, the decision to prosecute Elliot
and Woodard twice for the same offense may have been based on the perceived danger
and harm that both offenders continue to pose to society even after having been punished
by serving time in state prisons. Under some circumstances, in cases such as Elliot’s and
Woodard’s, prosecution and punishment by the state and the federal governments for the
same offense do not violate the U.S. constitutional protection known as double jeopardy.
2.1 Philosophies of Punishment
In this chapter we will examine why and how we punish offenders, as well as several philosophies of punishment and various methods employed to try to control crimi-nal behavior. In general, society adopts a philosophy of punishment hoping it will
effectively prevent or reduce crime. Punishment, in short, is the use of a penalty to inflict
consequences on those who violate the criminal law. In his 1968 influential book, The
Limits of the Criminal Sanction, Herbert L. Packer, emphasized two major functions of
punishment: inflicting pain and preventing crime. Traditionally, these forms of penal-
ties have been based on different philosophies of punishment including retribution
(eye-for-an-eye), incapacitation (incarceration), rehabilitation (treatment), reintegration,
and deterrence. The pain inflicted through these penalties c ...
Why Summary Judgment is Unconstitutional by Suja Thomas, Esq
This document discusses the constitutionality of summary judgment under the Seventh Amendment. The author argues that summary judgment is unconstitutional because it violates the core principles of the English common law that were incorporated into the Seventh Amendment. Specifically, under the common law, a jury would decide all cases where any evidence was presented, no matter how improbable, unless one party admitted the other party's facts and conclusions. In contrast, summary judgment allows judges to dismiss cases if they determine no reasonable jury could find for the non-moving party. This usurps the role of the jury. While the Supreme Court has never directly ruled on the constitutionality of summary judgment, it is widely assumed to be constitutional based on a century-old case that involved a
March 2015 appeal--s14a1703
This Supreme Court of Georgia case involves Veasa Bun appealing his convictions of malice murder and other crimes in connection with the shooting death of a sheriff's deputy. Bun received a sentence of life without parole plus 70 additional years. He argued this sentence constituted cruel and unusual punishment as a juvenile. The court affirmed the sentence, finding the evidence supported the convictions and precedent has established that life without parole sentences for juveniles can be constitutional. The court also rejected Bun's claim of ineffective assistance of counsel.

are generally autonomous even from one another. The Constitution
precisely outlines the types of cases that can be heard by federal courts,
yet it is almost impossible to force a federal court to hear a case that falls

Introduction
The federal judicial system is the least commonly known and least
understood branch of American government. In 2007, 78% could not
name the current Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court but 66% were
able to identify at least one of the judges on the T show American
Idol (Jamieson, 2007). Much of judicial work is conducted out of the
limelight and courts are not considered an important in uence in the daily
lives of people. It is clear the framers believed that the federal judicial
system would be the weakest of the three branches because, as Alexander
amilton wrote, it has no in uence over either the sword or the purse
(Hamilton, 1961, 465). In other words, courts cannot command an army
(or even police) to ensure that decisions are enforced or allocate money to
implement one of their rulings. Judges must depend on the other branches
in order to get anything done. According to an oft-repeated story, President
Andrew Jackson supposedly mocked a decision by Chief Justice John
Marshall with the words, John Marshall has made his decision, now let
him enforce it’’ (Schwartz, 1993, 94).
But times and the role of the federal judiciary have changed. One
scholar even concluded that the United States is now operating under a
government by judiciary’’ because the U.S. Supreme Court can revise
the Constitution by how it interprets the wording (Berger, 1997). As Chief
Justice Charles vans Hughes once uipped, e are under a Constitution,
but the Constitution is what the judges say it is’’ (Hughes, 1916, 185). .

IntroductIon
By its nature, a constitutional right is also a constitutional defense. After all, a right is
something that may be asserted by person without suffering reprisal from the govern-
ment. Inherently, a right stands as a limit on government. So, when a government inter-
feres with speech, one defense may be the protection of speech itself. A variety of defenses
arise from rights secured by the U.S. Constitution. Most of these rights are found in the
first nine, as well as the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments. You have
already learned a few of these, such as the First Amendment’s protection of expression. In
addition, many rights that are procedural, such as the right to a speedy trial, are discussed
later. A few critical defenses have been chosen for discussion in this chapter. The big dogs
of criminal procedure, the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments, are not examined in
this chapter because they receive considerable attention in the chapters that follow.
Be aware that each state has its own constitution, which may provide greater
protection than the U.S. Constitution. During this discussion you may want to refer
to the U.S. Constitution, which is reprinted as Appendix A of this text.
double Jeopardy
The Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides that “no person shall be
subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb.” The principle
of not punishing someone twice for the same act can be found as far back as Black-
stone’s Commentaries in the 1700s.1 The Double Jeopardy Clause applies only to
criminal proceedings.
There are actual.
1 The Death Penalty And Plea Bargaining To Life Sentences
This document summarizes a study examining whether the availability of the death penalty impacts the likelihood that murder defendants will plead guilty and receive a life sentence rather than going to trial. The study analyzes data from large urban counties and finds that significantly more defendants plead guilty to life sentences in states with the death penalty compared to states without it. Specifically, in counties with the death penalty, 18.9% of murder cases ended in a guilty plea and life sentence, versus only 5.0% in counties without the death penalty, a statistically significant difference. The implications are that repealing the death penalty may reduce life sentence pleas and require more costly murder trials.

The fact that American Prison Systems are high over capacity is as a result of the phenomenon of overcrowding. Overcrowded. This is a situation whereby the demand for space in American prisons exceeds the capacity for incarcerated prisoners that have been incarcerated in the place (Pitts, Griffin & Johnson, 2013). One solution might be for sentencing of offenders to better utilize alternatives to incarceration. The main argument which has been on debate concerns the issue that the American courts are sentencing offenders to prison imprisonment rather than effectively making use of other programs like rehabilitation centres, probation and parole.
Research carried out in 2010, revealed overcrowding in American Prison Systems is a reality and at the end of that year the prison’s correctional facilities were housing over 1.6 million inmates. More research indicates that at least 25 percent of the states are over capacity. Examples of Alabama and Illinois which have 196 percent and 144 percent respectively above the maximum capacity (Pitts, Griffin & Johnson, 2013). Comment by Stephanie Hunziker: Fix grammar: sentence structure is redundant.
Operating overcrowded prisons of the United States experiencing overcrowding are IS expensive, inconvenient as well as dangerous to both those incarcerated and the corrections staff. employees. There are quite a number of problems that comes with overcrowding. in this prisons. First is that the conditions worsens the state of the prisons in terms of sanitation and the inadequacy of basic amenities including health care. This means that those within the environments of the prisons will suffer from lack of enough facilities. Comment by Stephanie Hunziker: ??
Also, spread of diseases is more likely. to happen. This has been witnessed before. Poor sanitation will invites diseases associated with lack of cleanliness like cholera, typhoid, among othersetc. This makes running of the prisons more expensive. They also becomes difficult to control. Comment by Stephanie Hunziker: They? Who are you talking about here?
Moreover, inmates and staff serving in the prisons becomes stressed. Congestion makes them uncomfortable at all. For example, staff finds it very difficult to manage and control many inmates. Finally, you find that the prisons will; be susceptible to violence and riots. Inmates or even staff will have to riot in protest of better services. With inadequate facilities, competition is likely to happen among the inmates which can end up in fights among themselves.
The US government should, therefore, come up with measures to curb this menace which is to torn the American Prison Systems in parts. There are some ways which the government can do this. First is increasing the space in prisons. This is done by building new prison rooms with increased capacity and putting the required facilities. Secondly, the gov.

Introduction: As a member of our country, what is your standpoint on the death penalty? Do you know someone or knew someone who was sentenced for capital punishment? John Gramlich spoke about the statistics of individuals standpoint in regard to the death penalty in his article 10 Facts about the Death Penalty in the U.S. He stated how a survey conducted in April of 2021 demonstrated that six out of ten U.S adults strongly agree with the death penalty for individuals who have convicted murder (Gramlich, 2021). Depending on the crime conducted and the steps that were taken I stand that the death penalty should be used for a variety of reasons. The United States of America should use the Death Penalty as punishment for a crime because it is an important tool for preserving law and order, discourages others from repeating the similar crime and cost less than having an individual sentenced for life.
Outline:
I. Supporting point one:
Topic Sentence: The United States should use capital punishment for preserving their law and order.
Supporting detail: Our Amendments have been created in such a way that over the years it will allow leeway for it to be used during punishment in different ways (Moskowitz, 2021).
Supporting detail: We have set laws that we must obtain as individuals of this country to make it the safest way of living (Moskowitz, 2021).
II. Supporting point two:
Topic Sentence: If an individual sees another person being convicted of a crime and given capital punishment it will discourage others from repeating a similar crime.
Supporting detail: Charles Stimson stated that the death penalty gives three legitimate objectives, one being general deterrence (Stimson 2019).
Supporting detail: General deterrence is sending a message to people who are thinking about convicted the same crime, this shows them they shouldn’t, or they might end up sentenced for death like these other individuals (Stimson 2019).
III. Supporting point three:
Topic Sentence: Having an individual sentenced to death cost less than having someone sentenced for life.
Supporting detail: The cost of death penalty is expensive due to the years of appeal until an individual is committed with capital punishment (Gallup Poll 2017).
Supporting detail: Depending on when the individual was convicted of the crime and sentenced for life, they may be spending 3 to 5 decades which overall will cost more.

1) Criminal laws are the laws that define wrongs against a society and civil laws are laws that
define the rights of one person against another (Textbook, Glossary) and in the criminal case
against OJ Simpson the verdict of not guilty came from the jury that had to all agree on a verdict
and the facts presented in the case that there was reasonable doubt about the DNA evidence
and the alleged misconduct by the LAPD were enough to push the jury toward a not guilty
verdict. Where as in the civil case against OJ Simpson the jury finds Simpson liable for the
murders based on the same facts presented in the previous trial but in a civil case the majority
vote gets the verdict and in this case they deemed his reasoning of alleged misconduct by the
LAPD inflammatory and speculative.
2) In the Criminal case for OJ Simpson it was the People of the State of California and in the
civil case for OJ Simpson it was the families of the victims, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald
L. Goldman.
3) Just like in the OJ Simpson case even though someone is acquitted of a crime doesn't mean
that they didn't commit the crime it's just that the evidence wasn't substantial enough to prove
the defendant not guilty, that the evidence was obtained illegally, and the list goes on about
ways that guilty people get away with things based on legal rights or even in some cases just
luck, but either way they should be held liable in a civil case so that when they do "get away with
murder" the parties affected by these actions can get compensation for their troubles.

The differences between the two cases impacted the verdicts for many reasons. First one being in the
criminal trial OJ wasn’t required to testify, so he decided not to, but in the civil trial he was required to
testify because of the plaintiffs’ option which forces him to testify. Another difference between the two was
that in the criminal trial a conviction for OJ required a finding that he committed the murder beyond any
reasonable doubt whereas in the civil case and a guilty verdict for OJ only required 9 out of 12 votes and
“the basic legal standard being that in all probability Mr. Simpson committed the slayings” the keyword
being probability.
The party in the criminal case against OJ was the state of California which was charging OJ for the
murders of Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman, the reason the state was the party involved in the
criminal case is because as stated in the textbook, “A crime is a wrong of such serious nature that the
appropriate level of government steps in to prosecute and punish the wrongdoer to deter others from
engaging in the same type of conduct”. (Textbook, pg.132, para 8-1b). The parties that were against OJ in
the civil case were the families of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman, they had the right to sue civilly
because when the act th.
Ch 19 Sentencing and Punishment
The document discusses the history and justifications of criminal punishment including retribution, deterrence, incapacitation, and rehabilitation. It then covers sentencing alternatives and factors considered in sentencing such as felony vs misdemeanor crimes, presentence reports, and truth-in-sentencing laws. Finally, it briefly outlines probation, parole, the growth of the US prison population, and characteristics of those incarcerated.
Roper v. Simmons: Evaluation
An assignment that asked students to evaluate a Supreme Court case and to dispute the decision with logical argumentation.
Eng 202 Final research paper
This document summarizes issues with the death penalty system in the United States, including the risk of executing innocent people due to human error. It discusses several cases where innocent people were wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death due to problems like faulty eyewitness testimony, prosecutorial misconduct, and lack of access to quality legal defense. The document argues for reforms like improving qualifications for legal professionals involved in capital cases, barring certain types of evidence like single eyewitness testimony, and requiring preservation of biological evidence to allow for post-conviction DNA testing.
Jury.Nullification.Essay2
The document discusses the concept of jury nullification, which occurs when jurors deliberately disregard the law or refuse to apply the law based on their own sense of justice. It provides examples of jury nullification throughout history, such as during prohibition and in cases of civil rights violations. Both opponents and proponents of jury nullification are discussed. Opponents argue it undermines the rule of law and impartiality of juries, while proponents believe it can prevent unjust laws from being enforced in particular cases. The document concludes by arguing jury nullification impinges on citizens' rights more than it serves a practical purpose.
Constitutional Issues - Chapter 12
The 8th Amendment protects against excessive bail, fines, and cruel and unusual punishment. It has been interpreted by the Supreme Court in several cases related to bail, the death penalty, and prison conditions. For example, the Court has ruled that life imprisonment for non-homicide juvenile offenders and execution of the mentally ill or intellectually disabled are unconstitutional under the 8th Amendment.
Victim Impact Statement 2004
This document summarizes a study that examined the effects of different types of victim impact statements on mock juror sentencing decisions. 120 mock jurors read a trial scenario about a workplace bombing and were given no victim impact statement or a statement from the victim's wife, coworker, or firefighter who responded to the crime scene. Only the coworker's statement led to harsher sentencing judgments. However, participants rated the wife's suffering as most severe, showing perceptions of suffering may not predict sentencing. The implications of these findings for legal cases allowing victim impact statements are discussed.

In your small groups, discuss and document your group’s response to the following questions. Upload your typed document into one of your group member’s D2L dropbox by the assigned due date on your course schedule. Be sure to include on your worksheet all group member names. If present in class, all group members will receive the same grade for this case analysis assignment (maximum 30 pts). Group peer evaluations will be used to determine overall individual group member participation points for both of these case study discussions (maximum 15 pts).
1. In what specific ways did Michael fail and/or succeed in ‘listening deeply’ to his employees?
2. In what specific ways did Michael show that he was not “open to influence?” How would Michael being open to influence have made him more effective, ( i.e., who were the “local experts” and how could he have benefited from them)?
3. When you consider the employees of Bedford Mower as they were before Michael arrived, how would you characterize them in terms of what was personally meaningful to them?
4. When creating his vision for the company, in what specific ways did Michael fail and/or succeed in ‘determining what was meaningful’ to his employees, and what was the impact?
5. What specific mechanisms, or opportunities did Michael have available to him for enlisting others?
6. To what extent did Michael take advantage of these? To what extent were they effective in terms of getting everyone on board with the new vision?
7. In thinking about his attempts to enlist others, in what ways did or didn’t Michael incorporate common ideals into his communication with his employees as it related to the new vision?
8. How successful was Michael in “animating the vision”? How would you characterize him in terms of his use of symbolic language, providing imagery of the future, practicing positive communication, expressing emotion, and speaking from the heart, in his communications to his employees?
9. What would you have done differently with this group of employees in terms of inspiring a shared vision?

The document summarizes and analyzes the book "Storming the Court" which discusses several legal cases involving Haitian refugees. It finds that while the adversarial legal system was generally followed, it did not necessarily lead to just outcomes. In the first case discussed, the appellate court found the refugees had no legal rights, contradicting international law. Subsequent cases saw the government try to block justice through appeals, sanctions, and circumventing rulings. Overall, the document argues the adversarial system can be manipulated to produce unjust results and does not guarantee compliance with the law or social norms.
Ch 20 Appeals Process
The document summarizes the appellate and postconviction relief processes in the US criminal justice system. It describes the different levels of appellate courts, from intermediate appellate courts to courts of last resort. It then explains the various stages of the appellate process, including filing notices of appeal, submitting briefs, oral arguments, and issuing opinions. The document also discusses options for postconviction relief like habeas corpus petitions that allow prisoners to challenge their convictions after exhausting appeals. It provides an example of the lengthy appeals process in the Robert Glen Coe death penalty case over two decades.

The document provides background information on the case of the "Cuban Five", five Cuban nationals who were convicted in the US on charges related to spying for Cuba. The key concerns discussed are the fairness of holding their trial in Miami given pervasive anti-Castro sentiment, conditions of their pre-trial detention, and questions around the evidence for one defendant's conviction for conspiracy to murder. The document also notes the UN Working Group's finding that the trial failed to meet international fair trial standards.

Section 2.1 Philosophies of Punishment CHAPTER 2
In 1988, Tina Elliot tried to buy a half kilo of cocaine from an undercover officer in Georgia. She was convicted and was sent to the Georgia state prison for a year. Upon her release, Tina and her five children were reunited, but in 1993 she was indicted
by federal prosecutors for the same offense and sentenced to 20 years in federal prison.
Terry Woodard found himself in the same situation in 1989. After successfully completing
2 years of state parole supervision for possession with intent to distribute methamphet-
amine, he was arrested and convicted for the same offense in federal court and sentenced
to 10 years in prison without the possibility of parole.
The punishment of Tina Elliot and Terry Woodard reflects what some criminologists call
dangerization. Dangerization is a view that assumes that society can be protected by
predicting and controlling the risk and danger of victimization that some individuals
pose to society (Lianos & Douglas, 2000). In this case, the decision to prosecute Elliot
and Woodard twice for the same offense may have been based on the perceived danger
and harm that both offenders continue to pose to society even after having been punished
by serving time in state prisons. Under some circumstances, in cases such as Elliot’s and
Woodard’s, prosecution and punishment by the state and the federal governments for the
same offense do not violate the U.S. constitutional protection known as double jeopardy.
2.1 Philosophies of Punishment
In this chapter we will examine why and how we punish offenders, as well as several philosophies of punishment and various methods employed to try to control crimi-nal behavior. In general, society adopts a philosophy of punishment hoping it will
effectively prevent or reduce crime. Punishment, in short, is the use of a penalty to inflict
consequences on those who violate the criminal law. In his 1968 influential book, The
Limits of the Criminal Sanction, Herbert L. Packer, emphasized two major functions of
punishment: inflicting pain and preventing crime. Traditionally, these forms of penal-
ties have been based on different philosophies of punishment including retribution
(eye-for-an-eye), incapacitation (incarceration), rehabilitation (treatment), reintegration,
and deterrence. The pain inflicted through these penalties c ...
Why Summary Judgment is Unconstitutional by Suja Thomas, Esq
This document discusses the constitutionality of summary judgment under the Seventh Amendment. The author argues that summary judgment is unconstitutional because it violates the core principles of the English common law that were incorporated into the Seventh Amendment. Specifically, under the common law, a jury would decide all cases where any evidence was presented, no matter how improbable, unless one party admitted the other party's facts and conclusions. In contrast, summary judgment allows judges to dismiss cases if they determine no reasonable jury could find for the non-moving party. This usurps the role of the jury. While the Supreme Court has never directly ruled on the constitutionality of summary judgment, it is widely assumed to be constitutional based on a century-old case that involved a

This Supreme Court of Georgia case involves Veasa Bun appealing his convictions of malice murder and other crimes in connection with the shooting death of a sheriff's deputy. Bun received a sentence of life without parole plus 70 additional years. He argued this sentence constituted cruel and unusual punishment as a juvenile. The court affirmed the sentence, finding the evidence supported the convictions and precedent has established that life without parole sentences for juveniles can be constitutional. The court also rejected Bun's claim of ineffective assistance of counsel.

Introduction
The federal judicial system is the least commonly known and least
understood branch of American government. In 2007, 78% could not
name the current Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court but 66% were
able to identify at least one of the judges on the T show American
Idol (Jamieson, 2007). Much of judicial work is conducted out of the
limelight and courts are not considered an important in uence in the daily
lives of people. It is clear the framers believed that the federal judicial
system would be the weakest of the three branches because, as Alexander
amilton wrote, it has no in uence over either the sword or the purse
(Hamilton, 1961, 465). In other words, courts cannot command an army
(or even police) to ensure that decisions are enforced or allocate money to
implement one of their rulings. Judges must depend on the other branches
in order to get anything done. According to an oft-repeated story, President
Andrew Jackson supposedly mocked a decision by Chief Justice John
Marshall with the words, John Marshall has made his decision, now let
him enforce it’’ (Schwartz, 1993, 94).
But times and the role of the federal judiciary have changed. One
scholar even concluded that the United States is now operating under a

IntroductIon
By its nature, a constitutional right is also a constitutional defense. After all, a right is
something that may be asserted by person without suffering reprisal from the govern-
ment. Inherently, a right stands as a limit on government. So, when a government inter-
feres with speech, one defense may be the protection of speech itself. A variety of defenses
arise from rights secured by the U.S. Constitution. Most of these rights are found in the
first nine, as well as the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments. You have
already learned a few of these, such as the First Amendment’s protection of expression. In
addition, many rights that are procedural, such as the right to a speedy trial, are discussed
later. A few critical defenses have been chosen for discussion in this chapter. The big dogs
of criminal procedure, the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments, are not examined in
this chapter because they receive considerable attention in the chapters that follow.
Be aware that each state has its own constitution, which may provide greater
protection than the U.S. Constitution. During this discussion you may want to refer
to the U.S. Constitution, which is reprinted as Appendix A of this text.
double Jeopardy
The Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides that “no person shall be
subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb.” The principle
of not punishing someone twice for the same act can be found as far back as Black-
stone’s Commentaries in the 1700s.1 The Double Jeopardy Clause applies only to
criminal proceedings.

1 The Death Penalty And Plea Bargaining To Life Sentences
This document summarizes a study examining whether the availability of the death penalty impacts the likelihood that murder defendants will plead guilty and receive a life sentence rather than going to trial. The study analyzes data from large urban counties and finds that significantly more defendants plead guilty to life sentences in states with the death penalty compared to states without it. Specifically, in counties with the death penalty, 18.9% of murder cases ended in a guilty plea and life sentence, versus only 5.0% in counties without the death penalty, a statistically significant difference. The implications are that repealing the death penalty may reduce life sentence pleas and require more costly murder trials.

American Prison Systems

The fact that American Prison Systems are high over capacity is as a result of the phenomenon of overcrowding. Overcrowded. This is a situation whereby the demand for space in American prisons exceeds the capacity for incarcerated prisoners that have been incarcerated in the place (Pitts, Griffin & Johnson, 2013). One solution might be for sentencing of offenders to better utilize alternatives to incarceration. The main argument which has been on debate concerns the issue that the American courts are sentencing offenders to prison imprisonment rather than effectively making use of other programs like rehabilitation centres, probation and parole.
Research carried out in 2010, revealed overcrowding in American Prison Systems is a reality and at the end of that year the prison’s correctional facilities were housing over 1.6 million inmates. More research indicates that at least 25 percent of the states are over capacity. Examples of Alabama and Illinois which have 196 percent and 144 percent respectively above the maximum capacity (Pitts, Griffin & Johnson, 2013). Comment by Stephanie Hunziker: Fix grammar: sentence structure is redundant.
Operating overcrowded prisons of the United States experiencing overcrowding are IS expensive, inconvenient as well as dangerous to both those incarcerated and the corrections staff. employees. There are quite a number of problems that comes with overcrowding. in this prisons. First is that the conditions worsens the state of the prisons in terms of sanitation and the inadequacy of basic amenities including health care. This means that those within the environments of the prisons will suffer from lack of enough facilities. Comment by Stephanie Hunziker: ??
Also, spread of diseases is more likely. to happen. This has been witnessed before. Poor sanitation will invites diseases associated with lack of cleanliness like cholera, typhoid, among othersetc. This makes running of the prisons more expensive. They also becomes difficult to control. Comment by Stephanie Hunziker: They? Who are you talking about here?
Moreover, inmates and staff serving in the prisons becomes stressed. Congestion makes them uncomfortable at all. For example, staff finds it very difficult to manage and control many inmates. Finally, you find that the prisons will; be susceptible to violence and riots. Inmates or even staff will have to riot in protest of better services. With inadequate facilities, competition is likely to happen among the inmates which can end up in fights among themselves.
The US government should, therefore, come up with measures to curb this menace which is to torn the American Prison Systems in parts. There are some ways which the government can do this. First is increasing the space in prisons. This is done by building new prison rooms with increased capacity and putting the required facilities. Secondly, the gov.

Introduction: As a member of our country, what is your standpoint on the death penalty? Do you know someone or knew someone who was sentenced for capital punishment? John Gramlich spoke about the statistics of individuals standpoint in regard to the death penalty in his article 10 Facts about the Death Penalty in the U.S. He stated how a survey conducted in April of 2021 demonstrated that six out of ten U.S adults strongly agree with the death penalty for individuals who have convicted murder (Gramlich, 2021). Depending on the crime conducted and the steps that were taken I stand that the death penalty should be used for a variety of reasons. The United States of America should use the Death Penalty as punishment for a crime because it is an important tool for preserving law and order, discourages others from repeating the similar crime and cost less than having an individual sentenced for life.
Outline:
I. Supporting point one:
Topic Sentence: The United States should use capital punishment for preserving their law and order.
Supporting detail: Our Amendments have been created in such a way that over the years it will allow leeway for it to be used during punishment in different ways (Moskowitz, 2021).
Supporting detail: We have set laws that we must obtain as individuals of this country to make it the safest way of living (Moskowitz, 2021).
II. Supporting point two:
Topic Sentence: If an individual sees another person being convicted of a crime and given capital punishment it will discourage others from repeating a similar crime.
Supporting detail: Charles Stimson stated that the death penalty gives three legitimate objectives, one being general deterrence (Stimson 2019).
Supporting detail: General deterrence is sending a message to people who are thinking about convicted the same crime, this shows them they shouldn’t, or they might end up sentenced for death like these other individuals (Stimson 2019).
III. Supporting point three:
Topic Sentence: Having an individual sentenced to death cost less than having someone sentenced for life.
Supporting detail: The cost of death penalty is expensive due to the years of appeal until an individual is committed with capital punishment (Gallup Poll 2017).
Supporting detail: Depending on when the individual was convicted of the crime and sentenced for life, they may be spending 3 to 5 decades which overall will cost more.
IV. Countering opposing perspectives:
Topic sentence: Depending on who you speak to some are pro capital punishment while others believe it isn’t humane.
Supporting topic: Individuals who are pro death penalty argue that such a harsh punishment is needed for individuals who commit the worst of the crimes possible (ProCon 2021).
Refuting detail: Individuals opposing of the death penalty believe that it is unfair and ...

1) Criminal laws are the laws that define wrongs against a society and civil laws are laws that
define the rights of one person against another (Textbook, Glossary) and in the criminal case
against OJ Simpson the verdict of not guilty came from the jury that had to all agree on a verdict
and the facts presented in the case that there was reasonable doubt about the DNA evidence
and the alleged misconduct by the LAPD were enough to push the jury toward a not guilty
verdict. Where as in the civil case against OJ Simpson the jury finds Simpson liable for the
murders based on the same facts presented in the previous trial but in a civil case the majority
vote gets the verdict and in this case they deemed his reasoning of alleged misconduct by the
LAPD inflammatory and speculative.
2) In the Criminal case for OJ Simpson it was the People of the State of California and in the
civil case for OJ Simpson it was the families of the victims, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald
L. Goldman.
3) Just like in the OJ Simpson case even though someone is acquitted of a crime doesn't mean
that they didn't commit the crime it's just that the evidence wasn't substantial enough to prove
the defendant not guilty, that the evidence was obtained illegally, and the list goes on about
ways that guilty people get away with things based on legal rights or even in some cases just
luck, but either way they should be held liable in a civil case so that when they do "get away with
murder" the parties affected by these actions can get compensation for their troubles.
Sina Abbasi Kammasai
The differences between the two cases impacted the verdicts for many reasons. First one being in the
criminal trial OJ wasn’t required to testify, so he decided not to, but in the civil trial he was required to
testify because of the plaintiffs’ option which forces him to testify. Another difference between the two was
that in the criminal trial a conviction for OJ required a finding that he committed the murder beyond any
reasonable doubt whereas in the civil case and a guilty verdict for OJ only required 9 out of 12 votes and
“the basic legal standard being that in all probability Mr. Simpson committed the slayings” the keyword
being probability.
The party in the criminal case against OJ was the state of California which was charging OJ for the
murders of Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman, the reason the state was the party involved in the
criminal case is because as stated in the textbook, “A crime is a wrong of such serious nature that the
appropriate level of government steps in to prosecute and punish the wrongdoer to deter others from
engaging in the same type of conduct”. (Textbook, pg.132, para 8-1b). The parties that were against OJ in
the civil case were the families of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman, they had the right to sue civilly
because when the act th.
Ch 19 Sentencing and Punishment
The document discusses the history and justifications of criminal punishment including retribution, deterrence, incapacitation, and rehabilitation. It then covers sentencing alternatives and factors considered in sentencing such as felony vs misdemeanor crimes, presentence reports, and truth-in-sentencing laws. Finally, it briefly outlines probation, parole, the growth of the US prison population, and characteristics of those incarcerated.
Roper v. Simmons: Evaluation
An assignment that asked students to evaluate a Supreme Court case and to dispute the decision with logical argumentation.
Eng 202 Final research paper
This document summarizes issues with the death penalty system in the United States, including the risk of executing innocent people due to human error. It discusses several cases where innocent people were wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death due to problems like faulty eyewitness testimony, prosecutorial misconduct, and lack of access to quality legal defense. The document argues for reforms like improving qualifications for legal professionals involved in capital cases, barring certain types of evidence like single eyewitness testimony, and requiring preservation of biological evidence to allow for post-conviction DNA testing.
Jury.Nullification.Essay2
The document discusses the concept of jury nullification, which occurs when jurors deliberately disregard the law or refuse to apply the law based on their own sense of justice. It provides examples of jury nullification throughout history, such as during prohibition and in cases of civil rights violations. Both opponents and proponents of jury nullification are discussed. Opponents argue it undermines the rule of law and impartiality of juries, while proponents believe it can prevent unjust laws from being enforced in particular cases. The document concludes by arguing jury nullification impinges on citizens' rights more than it serves a practical purpose.
Constitutional Issues - Chapter 12
The 8th Amendment protects against excessive bail, fines, and cruel and unusual punishment. It has been interpreted by the Supreme Court in several cases related to bail, the death penalty, and prison conditions. For example, the Court has ruled that life imprisonment for non-homicide juvenile offenders and execution of the mentally ill or intellectually disabled are unconstitutional under the 8th Amendment.
Victim Impact Statement 2004
This document summarizes a study that examined the effects of different types of victim impact statements on mock juror sentencing decisions. 120 mock jurors read a trial scenario about a workplace bombing and were given no victim impact statement or a statement from the victim's wife, coworker, or firefighter who responded to the crime scene. Only the coworker's statement led to harsher sentencing judgments. However, participants rated the wife's suffering as most severe, showing perceptions of suffering may not predict sentencing. The implications of these findings for legal cases allowing victim impact statements are discussed.

Location Problem
George Heller was so successful in his previous assignment that he was promoted to the coveted position of Infrastructure Manager on the Mergers and Acquisitions Team.
Again Agame has recently acquired a competitive company with a plant and a warehouse in a nearby city. Management has decided to keep the additional warehouse. However, they are unsure if they need to keep the additional manufacturing plant. All products can be manufactured in either plant and shipped from either warehouse. Each plant and each warehouse has sufficient capacity to meet the total forecasted demand individually.
Prepare a report for management with your recommendation. Three possible choices exist. 1) Close the Competitor plant and satisfy all demand from the Again Agame plant; 2) Close the Again Agame plant and satisfy all demand from the Competitor plant; 3)Keep both plants open.
Your recommendation should include a solution for each of the five years in question. Include your calculations and spreadsheets in support of your recommendations.

From Snowboarders to Lawnmowers Case Study
Case Analysis Worksheet #1
Case Analysis Session 1 : Focus on Inspiring a Shared Vision (Principle #2)
Inspiring a shared vision has two main components [1] creating a vision through common purpose, and [2] enlisting or getting people ‘on board’ with the vision.
In your small groups, discuss and document your group’s response to the following questions. Upload your typed document into one of your group member’s D2L dropbox by the assigned due date on your course schedule. Be sure to include on your worksheet all group member names. If present in class, all group members will receive the same grade for this case analysis assignment (maximum 30 pts). Group peer evaluations will be used to determine overall individual group member participation points for both of these case study discussions (maximum 15 pts).
1. In what specific ways did Michael fail and/or succeed in ‘listening deeply’ to his employees?
2. In what specific ways did Michael show that he was not “open to influence?” How would Michael being open to influence have made him more effective, ( i.e., who were the “local experts” and how could he have benefited from them)?
3. When you consider the employees of Bedford Mower as they were before Michael arrived, how would you characterize them in terms of what was personally meaningful to them?
4. When creating his vision for the company, in what specific ways did Michael fail and/or succeed in ‘determining what was meaningful’ to his employees, and what was the impact?
5. What specific mechanisms, or opportunities did Michael have available to him for enlisting others?
6. To what extent did Michael take advantage of these? To what extent were they effective in terms of getting everyone on board with the new vision?
7. In thinking about his attempts to enlist others, in what ways did or didn’t Michael incorporate common ideals into his communication with his employees as it related to the new vision?
8. How successful was Michael in “animating the vision”? How would you characterize him in terms of his use of symbolic language, providing imagery of the future, practicing positive communication, expressing emotion, and speaking from the heart, in his communications to his employees?
9. What would you have done differently with this group of employees in terms of inspiring a shared vision?

Summary
Before a firm does business in Mexico it is imperative to understand the achievements
and pitfalls of its cultural, economic, and political forces. Although Mexico has improved
substantially with its technological development, investment policies, foreign exchange policies,
and tariffs, it still has significant pitfalls when it comes to honoring contracts, legal framework,
and enforcing laws.
The cultural forces of Mexico are largely dependent on social structure. Mexicans respect
authority and look to those above them for guidance and decision-making. This makes it
important to know which person is in charge, and leads to an authoritarian approach to decision-
making and problem solving. Since 92.7% of the total population in Mexico speaks Spanish
only, it will be beneficial to learn Spanish or have a translator at hand at all times. Shared culture
makes it easier to market and sell goods and services.
The economic forces in Mexico offer both favorable and unfavorable qualities. Mexico is
currently the second largest export market for U.S. goods. Some of the greatest achievements of
economic forces include physical infrastructures, telecommunication systems, production
capabilities, and technology. The unfavorable qualities of the economic forces include high
employment rate and unskilled labor.
The political forces in Mexico also play a great role in opportunities and pitfalls. The
opportunities include efficient settlements to disputes and reasonable trade regulations and
standards. The pitfalls include wars and terrorism caused by the drug wars and cartels.
There are numerous opportunities for firms in the Textiles and Clothing industry of
Mexico. A firm should be knowledgeable about the cultural differences in Mexican people in
Mexico, Page 3
order to undergo business successfully. A firm should also be aware of the potential profit
Mexico has to offer, as well as the potential problems. To conclude from this research, U.S.
firms should enter the Textiles and Clothing industry in Mexico because there are a lot of
opportunities and the Mexican economy will further expand in the near future.

Introduction
This paper will review and relay the most recent information regarding Mexico’s cultural,
economic, and political forces. The objective of this paper is to assist firms who are interested in
entering the Textiles and Clothing industry in Mexico by portraying the opportunities, issues,
and pros and cons of doing business in Mexico. Th ...

In an ever-changing world, intercultural business communication is one of the most vital aspects of carrying out business in foreign countries. We are set up to fail if we enter into foreign business agreements blindly. In the absence of proper communication skills, cultural awareness comes into play knowing the culture in which we are dealing. All of your concepts you may have grown up with and ideas that you have formed beforehand need to be thrown away and cast to the side. Your concepts and ideas in these business meetings will only be as effective as your communication skills. If your communications skills are weak so will be your presentation of your projected business plan. If I was going to develop a training program on the same, my lesson plan would look as illustrated below:
I. Class Objectives: The goals or objectives for class include understanding how language affects intercultural business communications and learning about different cultures and how they communicate when conducting business activities.
II. Connection to Course Goals: The class’s daily objectives will connect to the overall course goals by dealing with one topic at a time.
III. Anticipatory Set: What is usually involved in intercultural business communication and how should one behave if relocated to foreign countries such as United Arab Emirates, Mexico, China and Israel?
IV. Cultural Awareness
V. High vs. Low Context Cultures
VI. Language: Verbal vs. Non-Verbal
VII. Conversational Taboos
VIII. Interaction: Ethical/Unethical awareness
IX. Conclusion: connecting the objectives
My developed training program will help my students target and grasp the importance of the concepts listed and how they connect to one another. You will need to know a number of things regarding Cultural Awareness, High vs. Low Context Cultures, and Verbal vs. Non-Verbal, Conversational Taboos, and Interaction Ethical/Unethical awareness, and connecting the objectives. “Low context language is where things are fully spelled out or made explicit where there is also considerable dependence on what is actually being said or written (Gibson, 2002).” Western cultures tend to be inclined more toward low context language while Eastern and
Southern cultures are more inclined to use high context language (LeBaron, 2003).“High context language is whereby communicators assume a great deal of commonality of opinions and knowledge so that not much is made explicit (Novinger, 2001).” In other words, communication is in indirect ways. It is of crucial importance for business individuals venturing overseas to learn more about the business culture and etiquette present in countries such as Mexico, China, United Arab Emirates and Israel as they are not the same as the American business culture.

METROPOLITAN PLANNING ANDENVIRONMENTAL ISSUESn May 2008, the N.docx
This document discusses metropolitan planning and environmental issues, specifically comparing urban development patterns in Europe and the United States. It provides context on sprawl and smart growth initiatives. The key points are:
1) Paul Krugman praised Berlin's public transportation and high-density development but overlooked issues with the city. European cities developed this way due to strong government planning powers over land use.
2) In contrast, the US favors private property rights and minimal government intervention, leading to low-density sprawl dependent on cars.
3) "Smart growth" aims to curb sprawl through incentives, farmland preservation, and clustered development served by public transit. However, giving planners more control is difficult in the

· Human kind made in the image of God is therefore capable of understanding ethical standards revealed in nature.
· Natural tendency for self-preservation, avoidance of pain, defense of children.
3. The Church - A. Narrative component : Stories and images,
B. Normative component: Rules/guidelines
C. Church functions to assist with character development by teaching,
through community, and imagination (raises to new acute awareness &
understanding)
How we decide is a matter of style:
Rule-Based or Deontological Theories of Ethics (Rule or duty based)
A. Divine Command/Absolutism –
Our behavior, actions and moral decisions are based on God’s will.
How do we determine the will of God?
Based on our experience of God and our understanding of the nature of
God.
God is good. We need an understanding of what the Good is.
Do we follow God’s command out of fear or out of love?
Which is more important the rule or the intention?
The problem with moral decision making arises when in a particular situation one needs to choose between protecting one’s own life and the life of another. Complex situations in our nuclear age make it difficult to determine the greater good or the lesser of two evils in many cases.
B. Immanuel Kant’s “Categorical Imperative” - another of the deontological or rule based theories of ethics that may help in ethical reasoning-
His theory states “Act only according to that maxim by which you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law.” Also persons are not to be a means to an end. (Immanuel Kant, Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, 1785; cited in Rachels, 115)
C. Social Contract Theories- a belief that moral judgments are simply conventions determined by a particular society. How this works is evident in the “Peace Child.”
D. Critical Realism- is a method thatasserts that our knowledge of the world refers to the-way-things-really-are, but in a partial fashion which will necessarily be revised as that knowledge develops. Critical Realism attempts to find the real good through dialogue and reason between the ideal rule or norm and the reality of the present world.
Teleological or goal-based theories of Ethical Reasoning- (Also known as consequentialism)
A. Ethical Egoism- a moral act is what benefits me.
B. Utilitarianism- a moral act is what causes the greatest amount of happiness for the most people concerned, i.e.,
· Right actions are those with best consequences.
· In assessing “best consequences” the amount of happiness or unhappiness caused is the only relevant consideration.
· Each person’s welfare is equally important
C. Emotivism- moral judgments ar ...

METHODS TO STOP DIFFERENT CYBER CRIMES .docx
METHODS TO STOP DIFFERENT CYBER CRIMES 1
Methods to Stop Different Cyber Crimes
People must be well-informed regarding internet scams and certain vulnerabilities, which permit them to occur sooner or later. With education, they will be in a situation to help in prevention of such scams successfully (Hynson, 2012). It is imperative for people to be familiar with attempts of cybercrimes and to comprehend correct solutions in internet practices and solutions. People will learn with education how to put into practice proper security protocols. When they develop into social media savvy people and when they learn how to safe guard their computer devices, cybercriminals will encounter multiple layers of security, which will limit their illegal activities substantially.
Firewalls have the capability to protect users and their network devices against cyber criminals in the first instance of a attempted breach (Lehto,2013). A firewall monitors the interchange between a local network or the internet and a user’s computer. The firewall should be enabled through the security software or a router. Cybercriminals will be unable to use the interchange traffic to install malware, which is intended to compromise the user’s network and computer. If more people would use firewalls, hackers would be at a chief disadvantage due to being unable to navigate deeper into a system to obtain sensitive information and eventually, cybercrime would be lessened for a time.
Users need to analyze their operating and online systems continually so they can resolve vulnerabilities (Hynson, 2012). Internal accounting information or protocols, which lead to financial information or bank statements, should be checked on a regular basis in order to recognize the risks and mitigate them accordingly. It is very difficult for people to curb the flow of cybercrimes if they are ignorant of the risks in which they face or the weaknesses, which exist within their systems.
One successful way of slowing the actions of cyber criminals is by acting like them. This requires law enforcement agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to assign special undercover agents to gain access to clubs or groups of cyber criminals so they can investigate their steps (Hynson, 2012). The investigation method will become more effective by identifying the source of the problem and in developing a stronger strategy to cripple the efforts of the criminals.
Cyber criminals can hack into systems without difficulty when they encounter uncomplicated passwords. Users should use passwords with at least 10 or more characters so they can amplify the complexity of logging into the computer system (Lehto, 2013). It also helps top add in capital letters and special characters to increase the complexity of a password. In addition, different accounts should have dissimilar ID’s or password combinations to avoid giving hackers ac ...
Mexico The Third War Security Weekly Wednesday, February 18.docx
Mexico: The Third War
Security Weekly Wednesday, February 18, 2009 - 13:23 Print Text Size
By Fred Burton and Scott Stewart
Mexico has pretty much always been a rough-and
-tumble place. In recent years, however, the
security environment has deteriorated rapidly, and
parts of the country have become incredibly
violent. It is now common to see military
weaponry such as fragmentation grenades and
assault rifles used almost daily in attacks.
In fact, just last week we noted two separate
strings of grenade attacks directed against police
in Durango and Michoacan states. In the
Michoacan incident, police in Uruapan and Lazaro Cardenas were targeted by three grenade attacks during a 12-hour period.
Then on Feb. 17, a major firefight occurred just across the border from the United States in Reynosa, when Mexican
authorities attempted to apprehend several armed men seen riding in a vehicle. The men fled to a nearby residence and
engaged the pursuing police with gunfire, hand grenades and rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs). After the incident, in which
five cartel gunmen were killed and several gunmen, cops, soldiers and civilians were wounded, authorities recovered a 60 mm
mortar, five RPG rounds and two fragmentation grenades.
Make no mistake, considering the military weapons now being used in Mexico and the number of deaths involved, the country
is in the middle of a war. In fact, there are actually three concurrent wars being waged in Mexico involving the Mexican drug
cartels. The first is the battle being waged among the various Mexican drug cartels seeking control over lucrative smuggling
corridors, called plazas. One such battleground is Ciudad Juarez, which provides access to the Interstate 10, Interstate 20 and
Interstate 25 corridors inside the United States. The second battle is being fought between the various cartels and the Mexican
government forces who are seeking to interrupt smuggling operations, curb violence and bring the cartel members to justice.
Then there is a third war being waged in Mexico, though because of its nature it is a bit more subdued. It does not get the
same degree of international media attention generated by the running gun battles and grenade and RPG attacks. However, it
is no less real, and in many ways it is more dangerous to innocent civilians (as well as foreign tourists and business travelers)
than the pitched battles between the cartels and the Mexican government. This third war is the war being waged on the
Mexican population by criminals who may or may not be involved with the cartels. Unlike the other battles, where cartel
members or government forces are the primary targets and civilians are only killed as collateral damage, on this battlefront,
civilians are squarely in the crosshairs.
The Criminal Front
There are many different shapes and sizes of criminal gangs in Mexico. While many of them are in some way related to the
drug cartels, others have various types of c ...

1. In what specific ways did Mark create a climate of distrust?
2. In what ways did Mark fail to “set the example” in his work role? What was the impact of his failure to be a good role model for his employees?
3. What type of relevant information and resources did he not share with his employees? What was the impact?
4. In what ways had the former supervisor built his employees’ sense of competence? How did Mark later undermine the employees’ sense of competence?
5. In what ways did the employees demonstrate accountability before Mark took over?
6. What kind of expectations of his employees did Mark communicate, and how did this become a self-fulfilling prophecy (The Pygmalion Effect)?
7. What employee obstacles were apparent in the case that Mark ignored? What actions could he have taken to remove these obstacles?
8. In what sense did the employees have a sense of job meaning and impact before Mark arrived? How did Mark’s actions lead to a decreased sense of job meaning and impact for the employees?
9. What would you have done differently with this group of employees in terms of empowerment and fostering collaboration?
Problems: Answer each question
1. A quality control expert is called in to determine whether a newly installed machine is meeting quality standards in producing a particular cotton cloth according to the specifications set by the manufacturer. The mean warp-breaking strength of this particular cotton cloth has been established to be 66 pounds. A random sample of 36 pieces of cotton cloth is obtained from a production run on this machine. The results of the sample reveal a mean warp-breaking strength of 64.5 pounds and a standard deviation of 5 pounds. Can the quality control expert make the decision that the cotton produced on the new machine meets the warp-breaking specification of the manufacturer at the .05 level of significance?

Mental Illness Stigma and the Fundamental Components ofSuppo.docx
Mental Illness Stigma and the Fundamental Components of
Supported Employment
Patrick W. Corrigan, Jonathon E. Larson, and Sachiko A. Kuwabara
Illinois Institute of Psychology
Purpose/Objective: The success of supported employment programs will partly depend on the endorse-
ment of stigma in communities in which the programs operate. In this article, the authors examine 2
models of stigma—responsibility attribution and dangerousness—and their relationships to components
of supported employment—help getting a job and help keeping a job. Research Method/Design: A
stratified and randomly recruited sample (N � 815) completed responses to a vignette about “Chris,” a
person alternately described with mental illness, with drug addiction, or in a wheelchair. Research
participants completed items that represented responsibility and dangerousness models. They also
completed items representing 2 fundamental aspects of supported employment: help getting a job or help
keeping a job. Results: When participants viewed Chris as responsible for his condition (e.g., mental
illness), they reacted to him in an angry manner, which in turn led to lesser endorsement of the 2 aspects
of supported employment. In addition, people who viewed Chris as dangerous feared him and wanted to
stay away from him, even in settings where people with mental illness might work. Conclusions/
Implications: Implications for understanding supported employment are discussed.
Keywords: stigma, supported employment, discrimination
The disabilities of serious mental illness can block people from
obtaining important life goals, including a good job. Several kinds
of vocational rehabilitation programs have emerged to address
work-related disabilities. Some of these approaches are known as
train-place strategies (Corrigan & McCracken, 2005). Through an
education-based strategy, in train-place programs, participants
must learn prevocational and work readiness skills before they are
placed in work settings. These work settings are often sheltered;
that is, the job is “owned” by a rehabilitation agency, which can
protect participants from stressors (Corrigan, 2001). Alternatively,
supported employment is place-train in orientation. People are
placed in real-world work and subsequently provided training and
support to address problems as they emerge, thereby helping a
person to maintain a regular job. The latter group has dominated
recent supported employment models for people with psychiatric
disabilities (Bond et al., 2001; Bond, Becker, Drake, & Vogler, 1997).
Some forms of supported employment recommend rapid placement
of people in work settings of interest to them (Becker & Drake, 2003).
Unlike train-place programs, supported employment does not
try to protect people with disabilities from the work world (Cor-
rigan, 2001; Corrigan & McCracken, 2005). Instead, providers
offer direct support in vivo. This kind of approach is more suc-
cessful in communities where the intent of supported ...

Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

How are they similar? How are they different? Bottom of Form Running head: CRIMINAL JUSTICE Case Comparisons Tommy K. Bush Sr. Troy University CJ 2241 February 4, 2014 Introduction Criminal law generally refers to State and Federal laws which make certain that make certain behavior illegal and therefore punishable by either fines and/or imprisonment (Schopp, Weiner, Bornstein & Willborn, 2010). Criminal cases therefore, are charges which are followed by prosecutors for violations of criminal statutes. It is paramount that the law is always upheld in order not to compromise the legal system and also not to violate the rights of the perpetrator (Carmen, Ritter & Witt, 2008). In this particular instance, we are going to
- 2. compare two cases which may have possibly infringed the 8th Amendment which awards every person to free from cruel and unusual punishment (Bourke & Loeb, 2008). Discussion Comparing the Hudson v. McMillian (90-6531) case and the Kennedy v. Louisiana (07- 343) case, it is quite obvious that in both, the rights of the inmate Mr. Keith Hudson and defendant, Mr. Patrick Kennedy’s 8th Amendment rights were violated (Schopp, et al, 2010). Mr. 4Hudson claimed that he was beaten by two Prison Guards namely, Marvin Woods and Jack McMillian as their supervisor, Mr. Arthur Mezo watched (Carmen, et al, 2008). On the other hand, a Louisiana Jury established that Mr. 1Patrick Kennedy was guilty of aggravated rape of his 8 year old step-daughter under the Louisiana aggravated rape statute (Bourke & Loeb, 2008). Facts In the Hudson and McMillian case, 2the District Court ruled that the Prison guards had definitely applied excessive force when there was no actual need to do so, therefore violating the 8th Amendment (Schopp, et al, 2010). This subsequently entitled Hudson 10to damages. The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals however reversed the ruling citing that an inmate ought to lay bare ‘significant injury’ while claiming that his 8th Amendment rights have in one way or the other been violated due to the use of excessive force (Carmen, et al, 2008). On the other hand, the Kennedy v. Louisiana 8case, in a 2003 jury, the District Court established that Mr. Patrick Kennedy was guilty of the 1998 rape of his step-daughter who was 8 years old then; in line with the recommendation of the jury, Mr. Kennedy was sentenced to death by the court (Bourke & Loeb, 2008). Mr. Kennedy was charged with aggravated rape of a child by the State, this was according to the Louisiana 1capital rape statute ‘R.S. 14:42 D. (2)’(Schopp, et al, 2010). 9This statute made availed the death penalty for the defendants who raped minors under the age of twelve, moreover, it was at the time of Kennedy’s trial (Carmen, et al, 2008). 1Kennedy appealed his sentence and conviction to the Louisiana Supreme Court among his other 69 allegations of error in which he claimed that his death sentence
- 3. had violated the 8th Amendment’s proscription against cruel and unusual punishment (Bourke & Loeb, 2008). This was due to the fact that 1it was a disproportionate penalty for a crime which did not necessarily upshot in the loss of life. It should be noted that in its 1977 verdict, Cocker vs. Georgia, the US 5Supreme Court struck down a death sentence for the rape of a 16 year old minor due to the 8th Amendment grounds (Schopp, et al, 2010). Issue The issue in the first case was that is it a mandatory that an who alleges that his 8th Amendment right has been violated to show ‘significant injury’ in order to prevail his claim and subsequently be free from cruel and unusual punishment? (Carmen, et al, 2008). Whereas, the second case beckons to clarify whether it is cruel and unusual punishment to sentence someone 1to death exclusively for the rape of a child and whether the Louisiana capital rape law violates the 8th Amendment by falling short to provide sufficient narrowing guidance to juries in regard to who among those found guilty of this particular crime should be entitled for the death penalty (Bourke & Loeb, 2008). Holding In the first case, 2the Supreme Court held that the extent of injury suffered any inmate is one of several aspects in an 8th Amendment claim,2but that the dearth of significant injury does not necessarily mean that his rights have not been violated (Schopp, et al, 2010). 2The court should therefore consider of the inflicted punishment was sadistic and malicious (Carmen, et al, 2008). In the second case, Louisiana held 1that as the court’s prior jurisprudence was rather silent on capital rape, its sovereign judgment in this particular case would have legitimately led to a finding that capital rape was unconstitutional (Bourke & Loeb, 2008). The court also highlighted 1the fact that two in five capital rape cases returned death sentences. Reasoning The reasoning behind the first case was that if and 2when prison officials sadistically and maliciously use excessive force to cause harm, modern standards of decency are often violated, one way or the other (Schopp, et al, 2010). Finally, in the second case, the court also emphasized the lifetime impact of sexual abuse, furthermore,
- 4. citing that psychological and physical 1disorder rates among victims with a link between severe abuse and significant long term harm (Carmen, et al, 2008). Case Significance The 8th Amendment is significant in both cases in the sense that cruel and unusual punishment should not be subjected upon any individual be it innocent or guilty, and as we have clearly seen, even convicted inmates are protected under this. Conclusion As we have discussed above, the 8th Amendment which prohibits the use of cruel and unusual punishment to anybody in custody is very paramount, and thus should be respected by any individual in the United States of America.

- 7. guidance to juries in regard to who among those found guilty of this particular crime should be entitled for the death penalty (Bourke & Loeb, 2008). Holding In the first case, the Supreme Court held that the extent of injury suffered any inmate is one of several aspects in an 8th Amendment claim, but that the dearth of significant injury does not necessarily mean that his rights have not been violated (Schopp, et al, 2010). The court should therefore consider of the inflicted punishment was sadistic and malicious (Carmen, et al, 2008). In the second case, Louisiana held that as the court’s prior jurisprudence was rather silent on capital rape, its sovereign judgment in this particular case would have legitimately led to a finding that capital rape was unconstitutional (Bourke & Loeb, 2008). The court also highlighted the fact that two in five capital rape cases returned death sentences. Reasoning The reasoning behind the first case was that if and when prison officials sadistically and maliciously use excessive force to cause harm, modern standards of decency are often violated, one way or the other (Schopp, et al, 2010). Finally, in the second case, the court also emphasized the lifetime impact of sexual abuse, furthermore, citing that psychological and physical disorder rates among victims with a link between severe abuse and significant long term harm (Carmen, et al, 2008). Case Significance The 8th Amendment is significant in both cases in the sense that cruel and unusual punishment should not be subjected upon any individual be it innocent or guilty, and as we have clearly seen, even convicted inmates are protected under this. Conclusion As we have discussed above, the 8th Amendment which prohibits the use of cruel and unusual punishment to anybody in
