Darnage Pros And Cons

“A British Lord wrote an affidavit to the British government saying he had heard Lord Goddard say during the trial that "at all costs Craig and Bentley were to be found guilty." When both Craig and Bentley denied that they had said, "Let him have it," Judge Goddard lashed out: "Those words are sworn to by three police officers. Are you going to say they are conspicuous liars? Do you believe these three officers have come into the box and sworn what is deliberately untrue?” It is obvious the predisposition of the judge to believe the argument of the police above all, and again, it is shown the prevalence of the officer´s

A report done by CBC news stated “The province of Saskatchewan judicial inquiry, which released a comprehensive 815-page report in September 2008, concluded, "the criminal justice system failed David Milgaard."” (CBC News, 2011). Actions of those in charge of finding justice may in fact have caused the wrongful conviction of Milgaard. Police within the case have been accused of making those in question of Milgaard’s involvement in the murder reveal only what they wanted to hear. Furthermore, the court has been accused of not handling the case effectively as well as during appeals holding bias opinions that the conviction was indeed correct. If not for the persistence of David Milgaard’s mother and her belief in her son’s innocence and without the help of the Association in Defense of the Wrongfully Convicted (AIDWYK), David may have never made it out of prison alive.

Earmarks are not entirely a modern invention. They have been around for more than two centuries. The first earmark was used in the Lighthouses Act of 1789. Earmarks are legislative provisions that direct previously set aside funds to be spent on specific projects. They are not extra spending, because the money appropriated is previously allocated for spending. Earmarks helped “grease the wheels of democracy” by giving leadership to induce rank-and-file members to cast tough votes (Schlesinger). This wasn’t their only purpose though. Earmarks also helped ameliorate one of the fundamental tensions of our republican democracy. They made it easier for lawmakers to balance national and parochial interests. Earmarks also served a multitude of other

DACA also known as Deferred Actions for Childhood Arrivals is an American immigration policy that was established by the Obama administration in June of 2012. The policy allows some individuals that had entered or stayed in the country illegally as a minor apply for two-year period of deferred action from deportation. During those two years the recipients are able to work and go to school legally in the US. There are approximately 800,000 individuals that are recipients of DACA and in September of 2017 president Trumps administration rescinded the DACA policy.

First, the DCO should remain an Army Colonel billet (O6), but also should be open

In 2001, Professor Chris Cunneen from the Criminology Department in the University of New South Wales authored a book entitled “Conflict, Politics and Crime: Aboriginal Communities and the Police” which mainly focused on the relationship between the Aboriginal people and the police. In chapter five of the book, which will be evaluated, he analyses the use of terror such as physical assault, ill treatment and over- policing of the Aboriginal people not just in public places but when in custody as well. It showed the ‘violence of neglect’ (Chris Cunneen 2001, p.106) and the failure to provide proper justice and a certain level of care to the Aboriginal People whether in custody or not (Chris Cunneen, 2001).In 1987, due to the over representation of Aboriginal peoples death in custody, the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Death in Custody (RCIADIC) was established to investigate into it(Larissa Behrendt,2013,p.7). There were some recommendations brought forward to make improvement to policing methods and the criminal justice system. However, there seems to be a continuing reality of injustice even in 2001 with high incarceration numbers in custody. “The law should be a shield for the weak and the powerless, not a club for the powerful “(Governor Roy Barnes, 2004 Equal Justice

The sporadic and numerous deaths of Aboriginal Australians whilst in custody, has been an issue of social and moral concern for both the Australian legal system and Australian communities. This predicament has been faced by the Australian legal system for decades until its summit in the late 1980s, were the death of an Aboriginal whilst incarceration was being reported every 11 days. The legal system had to instantaneously make a move that would remedy this issue before the situation got out of hand. Per contra, if it were not for both the legal, non-legal actions and responses, then this issue of Aboriginal Australians constantly dying whilst incarcerated would not have been brought to the attention of the wider Australian communities, nor

To further the report on the evolution of policing, in Harry Blagg’s “Crime, Aboriginality and the Deconstruction of Justice”, despite high incarceration rates, some forms of policing are still critical to any strategy to decrease the levels of violence within Indigenous communities. In fact, these communities want to see the police and to seek out their aid – of course, as long as they respect their local customs and norms while also prioritizing issues that are important in their community (75). The problem with giving the Indigenous people a form of security through the police is that there is a long history of a damaged and emotionally charged relationship between the two groups, with their own personal feelings towards each other (75). Specific policing practices only exasperate the issues further, such as the focus on the term, “The Aboriginal problem”, rather than the “Aboriginal people’s problems” (75). Such terms only enforce the notion that the police is a force to govern over their Indigenous communities rather than provide a service to their issues. Through enforcing more accountable and transparent policies within the police force, the strained relationship between the police and the Indigenous community can be addressed. The recruitment of

Consequently, to the wider sections of the NSW public, who scoured the newspapers for any morsel of information of the bushrangers, this correspondent was creating a perception of police victimization and through the assistance of the press conjured up a great deal of compassion for Ben Hall’s previous life as well as Hall's current forays into bushranging, a compassion which in the months to come would begin to wane in the public's

The recent history of instances of shooting deaths by police in Victoria has experienced major swings in proper implementation of policy from before Project Beacon to the current climate. A troubled Tyler Cassidy found himself in a policing environment too resistant and incapable of responding to rising concerns regarding necessary changes in police practice. The police culture of protecting their own not only hindered efforts to reform police training concerning appropriate risk assessment when considering the use of force, but also served to undermine the authenticity and accuracy of investigative processes which are key in proving accountability for misjudgement. Pragmatic and results based reform in the practices of deadly force is clearly required to avoid recurrence of tragedies resembling Tyler’s however this will be very difficult to achieve in a system that has written off the homicide as justifiable. A collaborative effort to inform policy between police and criminologists as well as a more independent review processes in similar cases may just help bridge the divide between ideal procedures and the current

On the one hand, it may seem reasonable and true that by allowing immigrants and DACA recipients to work can take away potential job opportunities, creating competition, and potential threat to the lives of many native U.S. citizens. But on the other hand, it still insists that immigrants coming to the U.S. are struggling to find jobs and make an income to live in the nation are willing to work for poor wages. Immigrants who are under the DACA program are given the opportunity to obtain a higher education, so businesses benefit from immigrant workers due to the fact that they know they have high-skilled and well-educated workers in their hands. Without DACA immigrants who are struggling on their pathway to citizenship aren’t allowed to get

Information in the court documents indicate that Mulrunji became agitated after being arrested, becoming violent once arriving at the police station and subsequently assaulting Senior Sergeant Hurley while being taken from the paddy wagon into the police station. Senior Sergeant Hurley’s discretionary decision to arrest Mulrunji for a public nuisance offence had dire consequences resulting in a violent altercation and a subsequent death. It is an unfortunate reality that Indigenous Australians are over-represented in our criminal justice system and are being arrested at disproportionate rates compared to non-Indigenous

For the last 4 years, many diverse community members have applied to join OPS, but unfortunate, there was no success. The reason(s) unknown! We are requesting the chief to audit hiring processes, background checks, psychology and interviews to make sure there is no systematic barriers in hiring processes

The public pressures were important in continuing to shape debate around DADT in 2009, and the Obama Administration finally took up action in January of 2010, starting with the Pentagon. Chairman Powell of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was a focal point in the 1993 policy, and the same would be true in 2010. Admiral Mike Mullen was the new chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under President Obama, and he announced in the first weeks of January that he had assembled a small group to internally discuss “how gay men and lesbians might be able to serve openly in the armed services” (Bumiller “Pentagon Steps”). Although it was unclear if these meetings would lead to a concrete policy decision to repeal DADT, the Pentagon’s acknowledgement and discussion

Mental disorders and conditions are becoming more and more common every day. According to the severity of the condition, it may become a burden on loved ones and family members in regards to coping. The mental condition I have chosen to discuss is (PTSD) Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. (Include scholarly definition). Most instances when people think of PTSD, their minds usually tend to jump to a war veteran automatically. However, PTSD can affect individuals who have been raped/ sexually assaulted, sudden death, serious accident, or any traumatic or life-threatening event. Some public financing resources that are available to individuals with this particular mental condition are VA care, personal insurance, Medicaid and Medicare and in some cases SSI.
