Money Laundering Act 2002

The Law Enforcement Powers and Responsibilities Act 2002 (NSW) (commonly abbreviated as LEPRA), is a piece of legislation which was introduced into the State of New South Wales in response to the Wood Royal Commission enquiry into NSW Police. The Commission identified that there was a strong reliance on the common law in relation to the powers of law enforcement officers, and recommended that there was enough desirability to have these powers (and as a consequence the rights of ordinary citizens) more clearly defined via statute to protect both parties interests . These recommendations were made in an effort to better achieve social justice, and to ensure that there was a sufficient balance between what the police can legally do, and what

The federal Anti-Kickback Statute is a criminal statute that prohibits the exchange (or offer to exchange), of anything of value, in an effort to induce (or reward) the referral of federal health care program.  In return for purchasing, leasing, ordering, or arranging for or recommending purchasing, leasing, or ordering any good, facility, service, or item for which payment may be made in whole or in part under a Federal health care program. For the mens rea requirement the defendant must “knowingly and willfully” solicit, receive, or pays any remuneration (including any kickback, bribe, or rebate) directly or indirectly, overtly or covertly in cash or in kind to induce such person…to purchase, lease, order, or arrange for or recommend purchasing…or

In this essay I will be describing some key legislation that has been put in place to protect citizens’ rights within society.

Thanks Aleks for sharing, the article mentioned that if such decision is made anti-kickback statute would apply since it may not be known where the "payor was purchased and subsidized through a PPACA exchange" (1). I understood the article that subsidized health insurances that are under the PPACA are not federal healthcare programs; therefore anti-kickback statute would not apply. However, the government expressed that providers "carving out federal healthcare program patients" to avoid any issues "will not immunize the parties in the transaction from anti-kickback statute risk" (1). In other words, even though the anti-kickback law may not apply to subsidized health care programs, providers could be in violation of the False Claim Act.

In the United States of America, the Organized Crime Control Act, 1970 established witness protection program that provides for the identity protection and relocation of witnesses and their families to safe place in state and federal criminal proceedings under this act. Under title V of this Act, the Attorney General Authority was empowered to expand grants for the protection of witnesses. However, this act provides protection to the witnesses only in the proceedings related to organized crime. The Act was silent about proceedings in the cases involving other offences.

January 30th changes were made to the crimes act (2000) to help stop one punch violence in Sydney’s CBD after a senseless act of violence took the life of a Sydney teen. The changes that were made, gives a harsher jail sentence if a life is taken, and if the attacker if intoxicated at the time there is a minimum sentence of eight years, this is only the second time in recent history a minimum sentence has been put in place. More transport out of the CBD was also put into place after the amendment was passed, to give a safe option home after a night out. Places that sell alcohol have also been effected by having to stop people from purchasing alcohol after a certain time.

This all could have been prohibited if they would have paid more attention to where their ( business) money is going/where. Then once caught they could be watched and put on probation, so then if they tried to do it again they would get caught and put in jail a lot sooner.

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (FCPA) evolved from investigations by the Office of the Special Prosecutor that provided evidence of illegal acts perpetrated by U.S. firms in foreign lands. More than 400 U.S. companies admitted to making questionable payments to various foreign governments and political parties as part of an amnesty program (U.S. Department of Justice http://www.usdoj.gov). Given the environment of the 1970s and the proliferation of white-collar crimes (e.g., insider trading, bribery, false financial statements, etc.), particularly the payments made to foreign officials by corporations, Congress felt obligated to introduce legislation that led to the act. Congress 's objective was to restore confidence in the manner U.S. companies’ transacted business.

Many companies are trying to expand economically in the market by doing business with an individual or another company in foreign countries. These businesses are engaging in into using improper ways of payments that are leading to secret bribes to the foreign public officials. Foreign countries are not always in compliance with the laws and they tend not to follow them. Having these problems with the US and all the millions of dollars that have been passed they wanted to take a more affirmative approach and be able to correct the problem. That is when congress decided to introduce the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act to prosecute foreign companies for corrupt payments within the United States. The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act is a federal

The Statute of Frauds acts as a sort of life insurance for permanent or relatively long term agreements. The portion of the Statute examined herein deals solely with “transfers of real property other than a lease of less than one year’s duration” and the argument is made that the Statute should be extended to include leases less than one year’s duration despite the additional required time, effort and cost. Issues of trespassing, neglect, adverse possession and disputed arguments of sale are identified and the effects of the notions are analyzed though the lens of the Statute’s expectations and requirements for viability. The effects of this specific portion of the Statute of Frauds will be examined in regards

The new law is an amendment to the the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation act 1979. The changes of the act came into place on the 13/10/2015. The standard of behaviour that the law sets with these new changes is not specific as the detention of individuals can be for multiple reasons but particularly due to terrorism allegations. There are no penalties unless you do not conform to expected participation of answering all questions asked by the interrogating party. If they believe you have breached their standard of behaviour by not answering all questions up to 5 years imprisonment is the penalty. This law will be enforced by the police force if the detained individual does not comply with the strict rules of being detained. While

As our technology changes so do we, and so does the world of criminal activities. There are people out there who can steal from you using computers and the internet. What do we have that can protect us from these types of criminal actions? There several different laws that protect U.S. citizens from cybercrime, one that comes to mind is The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA). There are seven subsections, but we are going to focus on Subsection 1030. Subsection 1030 is theft of finical information, this law protects citizens from cyber trespassing, threats, damage, and fraud (Cornell Law School, 2017). This law protects citizens from hackers stealing their money, or causing a lot of economic damage.
