This essay will critically analyse and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of retributivism. Throughout history the term “retributivism” has had a diverse though correlated meanings. The most significant meaning of retributivism is righting or rebalancing the scale of justice, through the use of mechanisms such as punishment e.g. punishing criminals in order to achieve justice for the offence they have committed. Retributivism also looks back at the offence, since the offender has committed a wrongful offence which needs to be punished. One of the core reasons why offenders should be punished is that they need to ‘pay back’ for the offence they have committed; the theory that is associated with retributivism is the just deserts theory. A theory is a concept that is based upon a hypothesis that can be supported with evidence. The just desert theory is used to justify retributivism punishment. Unlike other theories of punishment that mainly concentrates on preventing future crime, such as rehabilitation, deterrence and reductivism. The retributivist theory primarily concentrates on punishing past crimes. Although others would disagree with this for the reason that they think punishment should be used to ‘reduce’ and ‘prevent future crimes’ (Carlsmith et al., 2002 p284). The essay will take into account the views of various theories; theorist and philosophers so that the strengths and weaknesses of

Recovery from drugs, alcohol, and tobacco is something not a whole bunch of people can do. Either they don’t have the support or willpower to do it. Then there’s some people that just don’t want the help even if they have the support. Recovery is something that could really help and benefit a person. It seems to me like recovery is a way of giving someone a second chance at getting their life together. They went through rough times and that’s why they turned to all those bad things. Then they recover and it’s like they are in a brand new world. The whole recovery process needs support from the person friends, family , and anyone else that the person needs to help support them. When they get the support they have the willpower to recovery from

Celebrate Recovery is a self-help recovery program that contains a heavy emphasis on Christ and seeking healing through Him. There is a strong religious focus so individuals feel like they have help that is unconditional and they are surrounded by a body of individuals who are struggling with similar situations as well. Although these individuals cannot provide the answers or healing for one another, they are the support, a body, a family, and create a safe environment for fellow participants. Moreover, with this focus on Christs healing powers in their lives, the program emphasizes the eight recovery principles in the Beatitudes as well as the twelve-steps (similar to those used in Alcoholics Anonymous). I, therefore, attended a Celebrate Recovery meeting at the fellowship church in Rogers, AR on October seventh, two thousand sixteen.

The goal of reconstruction was initially to punish the south and refurbish a new and better america and not to continue its cruel ways. Reconstruction is the time were immediately after the War in which the federal government set the conditions that would allow the rebellious Southern states back into the Union. There were Southerners siding the Johnson's support, attempting to restore slavery. But at the end each state was required to set forth to the 13th and 14th Amendments to the Constitution, which granted freedom and political rights of blacks.

The recovery model is very import to the field of marriage and family therapy in many different ways. Recovery allows for the client to change, and see unlimited possibility. This model is seen through the lens of values, seeking to help the client to live a rich and meaningful life. Recovery is strength based, and allows for the client to build from their personal skills set, and doesn’t blame a single person for the distress of the family. This allows for the client to gain a sense of self and self-worth, see their own values, and be able to create support within the family as well as their community.

September is National Recovery Month. As such, it is a great opportunity to celebrate people who are in recovery. Celebrating someone’s sobriety doesn’t have to be an expensive, or an over-the-top party. Most people in addiction recovery appreciate even small gestures.

Reconstruction what is it?What does it mean to reconstruct? Is it possible to reconstruct nowadays? Reconstruction started in 1865 and ended in 1877.Reconstruction took place mostly in the south. Reconstruction was created to help fix the problems in the new union after slavery, but sadly didn 't end well causing an all white government into power and failing the union. New economic,political and industrial growth was being made. New job opportunities were being made for the people and former black slaves who also were getting education and a chance of equal rights...or so they said. Many events were leading up to the end of reconstruction including the support declining, the lost faith in the acts, and the threats that the blacks,whites

Have you ever been denied something because of your skin color? Have you ever not had anywhere to stay? What about being beaten just because of your race? Reconstruction following the Civil War was a failure because there were so many issues that caused more problems when changed. Reconstruction following the Civil War was unsuccessful because blacks still lacked equality, many people were left poor, and there was still a lot of violence.

A question people asked in the pasted was "to what extent was reconstruction a success?".My anwser to this question is that the success of the Reconstuction was a small success. This is true because of three reason.one is a group called ku klux klan(kkk).Secondly was the rule of sperate but eequal. And lastly is the jim Crow laws.

After reading the primary source, it has become clearer to me that the efforts made toward helping freedmen receive civil rights during Reconstruction were ineffective. The southern states were forced against their will into Reconstruction by the north, only adding more tension to the relations between the whites and people of color. Shortly after the last of the northern troops were removed, the south’s favored party, the Democratic Elite, regained control of the southern government and began restricting the rights of the freedmen.

The Reconstruction was an intricate time in America that helped freed slaves look for a second chance at life. But when the idea was found smoldering in flames, the question rose up through the ashes, who dealt the final blow? It was regarded as one of the most ironic events in history because, as it happens, the same year the “great plan” for America fell, it was the 100th anniversary the prestigious country was born. Reconstruction was diminished by someone, and that someone, was the south. The terrorist organization, Ku Klux Klan, otherwise known as the KKK was specifically organized to destroy the thought of reconstruction, in fact, they targeted government officials, and just about every living Southerner…. Supported it.

“He shivered with dread, realizing how awesome Archie's power really was” (Cormier 27). This quote is said by one of the main characters in the novel The Chocolate War by Robert Cormier, about Obie. Obie is in awe of Archie's power therefore; Archie's power grows stronger because he never sees any wrong in his actions. The Vigils is a secret society that basically manipulates student and teachers into doing what that group wants. On the other hand, Brother Leon thinks he is the one and only person that has power over the Vigils.

Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy announced a series of initiatives which aim to reintegrate ex-offenders into society. The Second Chance Society initiative combines legislative changes to sentencing and parole procedures with a program to help ex-offenders obtain employment upon release and programs to divert individuals away from the criminal justice system prior to receiving a prison sentence. The employment program is modeled off of Washington’s I-Best program, which combines employment training with intensive basic education for adults. The initiative will also include a school-based diversion program, which seeks to reduce suspensions, expulsions and arrests in the K-12 system, and a housing program for frequent users of substance abuse,

When reviewing the facts of the case Resurfice v. Hanke, it may appear as though it was a clear win for Resurfice inc, however I believe that the Supreme Court of Canada made some key errors in making their decision, ultimately leading the judges to make the wrong decision. Firstly the Supreme court did not place a strong enough emphasis on the design flaws of the Zamboni. As brought forth in court, both the Gasoline tank and the water tank were placed directly beside one another, they were also the same colour. Had the defects of the zamboni not made it so easy to mix the two tanks up, the explosion likely would never had happened. In addition to this Resurfice corp did not do their due diligence to make the Zamboni easier to use. According
