Censorship
.... it would seem that parents
are just trying to protect their children from the outside world. But does it
really help? My friends sister was upset with her parents for raising her in
such a sheltered environment. When she went away to college, she got a taste of
what the real world was really like. These days, an average elementary school
student knows many things. They are influenced by a wide range of sources, from
television and other forms of media, their environment at home and school, to
their personality and background. What they read does not necessarily mean that
they will follow it. Literature is a valued source of .....

Censorship: Freedom Or Suppression ?
.... backbone
of the Internet was originally made up of government funded universities and
other government institutions. However that is no longer the case. Now the
majority of the Internet is run and operated by independent services and
everyday citizens. The Internet is a modern day symbol of the freedom of speech
we have in our society. The government has no right to tell us what we can and
can not do in our homes. No one is forcing anyone to go to any specific area of
the Internet for anything. These are all choices made with our own free will. I
feel that the government is clearly violating the fine line between church and
state. .....

Common Sense Control, Not Gun Control
.... the
side of your bed, instinctively assuming a marksman's pose and fire just as the
intruder is raising his weapon. He flies back against the wall and slumps into
a lifeless pile. You then proceed to call 911.
Now, that is not an uncommon scenario in the present state of society.
Now what I ask you to picture is that same scenario, but this time only the
intruder has a weapon because all guns have been outlawed and the criminal is
the only person who can get their hands on them. It's a rather scary thought,
isn't it. But that is exactly what some people want. They want a ban on all
firearms. But that is not the solution, .....

Community-Based Policing: Law Enforcement For The Twentieth Century
.... that "C.B.P.
provides hope for the future of Law enforcement." We can trace the seed of C.B.P.
back to Sir Robert Peel, the father of the modern Police system, who said "the
Police is the public and the public are the Police"(Braiden). For different
reasons, the Police lost sight of that principle defining their relationship
with the public. Modern historians have said that the reform era in government,
which started in the 1900's to combat corruption, along with the move toward the
professional image of police work, resulted in the separation of Police and
Community (Kelling, Moore, pg-5)
Reform style Policing emerged in the 50s .....

Computer Generated Evidence In Court
.... 1993, Reed 1993 and Tapper 1993).
In general the principles of admissibility are that the evidence must be
relevant to the proof of a fact in issue, to the credibility of a witness or to
the reliability of other evidence, and the evidence must not be inadmissible by
virtue of some particular rule of law (Keane 1994, pp 15-20; Tapper 1990, pp 51-
61).
Real evidence usually takes the form of some material object (including computer
output) produced for inspection in order that the court may draw an inference
from its own observation as to the existence, condition or value of the object
in question. Although real evidence may be .....

Computer Crimes
.... AO Saturn, figured out how to get
around Citibank¹s security system and transfer money out of their accounts.
Levin, of St. Petersburg, claims he should not be turned over to American
authorities because there is no evidence that any computers in the United States
were used in the scheme. The U. S. government says the funds were all routed
through Citibank¹s wire transfer department on Wall Street. The Justice
Department wants to charge Levin with conspiracy and fraud. (Source: Delaware
County Daily Times, 8/21/95)
If turned over to American authorities, Levin is subject to ordinary
tort law governing fraud. The feeding of .....

Crime And Punishment
.... murderers is the possibility of killing an
innocence person. With our improving technology, what we now believe is beyond
reasonable doubt might a verdict filled with errors in the future. One very good
example of this is the recent acquitting of a man jailed for raped and the
murder of a girl. If he was executed at the time, he would of never had the
chance to prove his innocence with the D.N.A. tests. He as an innocence man
would have been killed.
Legalizing execution for the punishing of murderers is a very important
decision for Canadians to make. The result of the decision will decide of
government have the right to kill .....

Contracts
.... accepted by the party making the original offer.
REQUIREMENTS OF A VALID CONTRACT
For a contract to be valid, both parties must give their assent. They must act
in such a way that the other people involved believe their intention is to make
a contract. Thus a person who is clearly not sincere in saying that he or she
accepts an offer usually is not held to a contract by the courts. On the other
hand, a person who secretly has no intention of making a contract but who acts
in a manner that leads people to believe he or she had, may be held to a
contract. Legally, it is the external appearance that determines whether one is
held t .....

Crime

burglary, kidnapping, larceny, murder, rape, and robbery. The second group
includes crimes of a “rapidly growing urban society.” These crimes include
violations of income tax laws, liquor control regulations, pure food and drug
laws, and traffic laws. Crimes in the first group usually involve severe
punishments while crimes in the second group are generally punished by fines,
notices to follow the court's orders, or other relatively light penalties.
Crimes are frequently classified according to their seriousness as
felonies or misdemeanors. Generally, felonies are more serious than
misdemeanors. Under the federal crim .....

Crime In The United States

reported to law enforcement. The lowest volume was reported in the Northeastern
States, accounting for 16 percent of the total. All regions except the West
showed Crime Index decreases compared to 1994 figures.
Property valued at $15.6 billion was stolen in connection with all Crime Index
offenses.
Crime Rate:
The 1995 Crime Index rate, 5,278 per 100,000 population, was 2 percent lower
than in 1994. For 5- and 10-year trend increments, the 1995 rate, the lowest
since 1985, was 11 percent lower than the 1991 rate and 4 percent lower than
1986. Geographically, the total Crime Index rates ranged fro .....

.... accused to do what he/she did. The other two are self explanatory.
The maximum penalty is 5 years imprisonment, but commonly punishments include
fines, good behaviour and community based orders.
A recent case in Australia was of a man who was stabbed outside a nightclub by a
group of people.
Rape
Rape is any introduction of any object into the vagina or anus of another person
without their consent.
To prove rape it must be proven that it was committed without the consent of the
victim.
The common defence is that the victim consented to the act, whereas, the accused
would be acquitted.
The punishment for rape is a maximum of .....

Death Penalty
.... of the past. It has no
place in a civilized society today. One of the biggest arguments against capital
punishment is people feel that it violates the eighth amendment which forbids
cruel and unusual punishment. People against Capital Punishment believe the
death penalty is absurd and is in un-christian practice. Further more, they feel
society should not" encourage sentiments of vengenance cater to morbid interest
in ritual execution." Criminologists also built a strong case that the threat of
death failed to deter murder, anymore effectively than prison. Therefore, to
inflict harm to one,it is simply useless.
However, the punis .....
