Case Study Of Kelly Steems

The criminal justice system plays a fundamental role in achieving justice, as the system aims to protect all members of the community fairly and equally. However, in the criminal case of R v Loveridge, it is evident that the justice system fails to apply the law to equally balance the needs of the victims and the community. In this case, the offender Kieran Loveridge pleaded guilty to five counts of offences; three charges of common assault, one charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and one charge of manslaughter by an unlawful and dangerous act, the victim being Thomas Kelly, Loveridge received 4 years’ non-parole for manslaughter, Loveridge’s total effective sentence therefore is 7 years and 2 months with an effective

Nobody deserves to go to prison for a crime that they didn’t commit. Dustin Turner has spent more than enough year time in prison. In 2002, Billy Brown confessed to Jennifer Evans’ murder and said that Dusty played no part in it. Also, they never found any evidence for Dustin they just went by theories. Billy Brown will be serving seventy-two years while Dusty serve eighty-two. This is not right and justice must be served to Dustin

Although most people agree that offenders of the “king hit” should receive extreme punishments, there may also be other factors to take into account such as, offenders may not be aware of the consequences, prison sentencing is too harsh and alcohol and drugs that contribute for the offenders actions.

Andrew Medina was only 15 years old when he got involved in a carjacking scheme. The scheme didn't go as planned because someone shot the owner of the car. Michael and Derrick, who were also involved in the carjacking, confessed that Andrew was the shooter. From going off what I know about the incident, I would sentence Andrew as a youth to manslaughter. Before anything, I would sentence Andrew to 2 years in rehabilitative custody at the Ponoka Hospital, to work on with doctors on his learning disability, any emotional trauma from the accident, or his feelings towards his alcoholic dad. Following his rehabilitative custody, I would sentence him to custody at the youth remand center. While he is in custody Trevor will work on his cooking skills,

3. Dudley and Stephen will be charged with first-degree murder. Their punishment should be 20-30 years or life in prison. The murder of Brooks was no accident because it was premeditated. Despite the malnutrition as a factor Brooks was still sane and refused to be eaten but the other two ignored this without a second thought. By convicting Dudley and Stephen it will show that the law of the country is absolute. It will also decrease the chances of someone appealing because "They were mentally ill during the time of the killing."

To formulate the law, it was decided that the most valuable approach to reduce violent crimes was through a mandated policy decision requiring identification through past behavior of those who demonstrated clear conduct to participate in violent criminal and whose conduct was not discouraged by the usual concepts of punishment. Reed (2004) stated, “The overall purpose of punishment within the criminal justice system is to prevent the commission of crimes to deter recidivism. For this objective to be successful, punishment must be effective in addressing the problems and solutions for the entire system, not just in individual cases” (p. 502). In reducing crimes, various methods and theories are taken into account. Some of these methods are additional police, additional courts, mandatory sentencing, and increased prosecutorial resources (Reed, 2004). Because the Three Strikes Law varies from state to state, this leads to the many problems it causes in the criminal justice system.

The Act intends to answer the needs of increased severity in punishment regarding the one punch hits. In order to successfully apply this, the Act proposes amendments to the Sentencing Act that would impose mandatory minimum sentences for ‘one punch’ manslaughter cases in circumstances where an offender knew that the victim was not expecting the punch or strike, and died as a result of the blow. The bill alters the Sentencing Act to accommodate a statutory least non-parole period sentence of 10 years for homicide including horrible brutality and murder by single punch or strike where the Director of Public Prosecutions has pulled out to the court of an aim to look for the burden of the statutory least sentence if the charged is discovered liable and where extraordinary circumstances, as accommodated in the bill, don 't exist.

This results in Andrew Dufrense sent to jail for two life terms. Meaning he is going to jail for life. We discussed with the bartender he said, “I only gave him a few drinks”. We asked how much and he said.” Three whisky shots, not too many”. He also let us know that he was at the bar at night the day before as well and handled it.

I would order Trevor Jones as a youth with manslaughter for 4 years. The gun discharging while selling it, wasn’t on purpose. It was a complete accident in my point of view and was unintentional. I would also charge him with theft under five thousand dollars since he sold the man before he died the gun then tried stealing it back. I would also sentence him to 1 year of parole to keep an eye on any activity happening within Trevor’s life. In my books, it classifies under the category of theft and I believe even though the main idea of the crime was death, the minor details still have to be examined.

This paper examines the case study about Sarah Burke. A case study analysis form was completed and symptoms were identified. Identification of certain diagnostic criteria were interpreted and clarified for the exhibiting individual. Illumination of criteria for proposed diagnosis lead to the discussion which resolves the risk factors and clinical features associated with the diagnosis. Recognition of certain symptoms and criteria brought to light other possible comorbidities. Cumulative risk theory, as well as, the diathesis stress model were investigated for possible involvement in the Burke disorder development. Multidimensional factors related to the onset and maintenance of her symptoms are deliberated; as well as, how her culture played a role. In the end, a conclusion is given about suggested pre- and post- treatment, overall benefits of those treatments, and prognosis outlooks.

A couple of culture-specific protective factors that may have helped Andrea cope with the racism that she faced church attendance, community involvement, and family. Church attendance would have helped Andrea by helping her recognize that racism exist and helping her forgive. If Andrea isn’t religious, her community might also have helped her cope with the racism she faced. She could've created a support group with other individuals that have also faced racism. Her family could of helped her with social support such as caring, love and affection.

Hello my dear judge, I'm here on the behalf of David “Tsotsi” Madondo for the accusations made by the prosecutor. I believe the prosecutor's sentencing is cruel and insensitive based on my clients past. He should serve jail time but not life, my client has been a victim of apartheid he's also been a victim of abuse, he's been abandoned which took a toll on him at only 10 years old. He was left to feed himself take care of himself. Which led him no other option but to join a gang. This gang gave him the security he needed. They fed him and put a roof over his head but also influenced his negative ways. This is where he learned to be heartless. I believe he deserves 1 year sentencing to pay for what hes done and some alternative punishment on

Financial ratios are great indicators to find a firm’s performance and financial situation. Most of the ratios are able to be calculated through the use of financial statements provided by the firm itself. They show the relationship between two or more financial variables that can be used to analyze trends and to compare the firm’s financials with other companies to further come up with market values or discount rates, etc.
