1. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM “Law should not sit limply, while those who defy it go free and those who seek its protection lose hopes1” “In order to reform India’s archaic, criminal laws amendments were undertaken by the government which were made in Criminal Procedure Code of 1973 in 2008. The major shove of the victim related amendments were on defining ‘victim’ and recasting existing defunct laws related to the provision of compensation to victims. To leave the provision of compensation to the
This paper will illustrate three theories; deterrence theory, rational choice theory, and restorative justice theory. It will outline in detail the policies, and the connections between theory, research, and policy. Deterrence theory can be outlined as “principles of certainty, severity, and celerity of punishment, proportionality, specific and general deterrence” (Burke, 2009). In order for the punishment to be effective it has to be certain, swift, severe. Certainty is more important than the
One of the important undertakings in clinical research is the use of prisoners as human subjects since the prison population is characterized by more problems than among non-prisoners. As such, researchers tend to associate some of such problems with criminal behavior. Research thus serves to provide valuable outcome and interventions on the well-being of incarcerated individuals. However, studies involving prisoners are laden with troubling ethical issues, such as coercion of prisoners to participate

wording of the legal document itself was vague enough to warrant interpretation, and hence, gave critics a reason to believe that supreme court justices have been the power to legislate without any political or public recourse. Unfortunately, as a result of these criticisms, various public notions, such as appointed and not duly elected Supreme Court justices with the ability to legislate, became the main focus in questioning whether the supreme court’s institutional functions were legitimate, and in
Abstract This research paper examined the issue pertaining to the question of National Defense versus American’s civil rights. In this paper I examined the conflict that often occurs between citizens’ rights and national security in the United States (US). I realized through my courses in homeland security, there is often tension between citizens’ rights and US national security. I discovered that many civil liberties have been violated, as they relate to national security. Even though these
My interest in this paper is to consider a complex network prospective; the application of Competition Law, and more specifically related to its effects on monopolistic competition, and its effects on the local market and South African economy as a whole. South Africa (SA) was distant from many other major markets and production centers. This made it complex for international trade to compensate for these conditions, even though trade has expanded since 1994, mainly with the European (EU) and the
Harding (2014) pointed out that the United States criminal justice system has experienced an enormous rise in the rate of incarcerations since the mid 1970’s. A primary justification for this rise in mass incarceration is that putting criminal in prison teaches them that crime is bad and so reduces recidivism (Cullen, Jonson, & Nagin, 2012). But despite its widespread use as a de facto system of punishment within the US criminal justice system, the limitations of incarceration have hindered its
specific situation? When punishment is often passed down by a body of peers, understanding the effects of situation and actor characteristics on judgments of ethicality are crucial. Many factors affect how individuals interpret ethicality of action. This paper examines the relation between outcome and ethical judgment, specifically noting the effects of age on perceive
