Child Sex Tourism Bill In Australia
.... and the
Australian courts.
The changes stated above were required to not only protect abused children
residing overseas, but to prove that the Australian Government is in touch with
the community values within Australian cities. The amendments made to the law
were needed because of the shameful amount of Australians indulging in sex
practices with minors in countries other than Australia. Before the law was
amended the general feeling among those involved in the process was that the
Child Sex Tourism Act would have to carry severe penalties with it. The reason
for such hefty penalties is that the law had the potential to b .....

Methods Of Execution
.... volts depending on the size of
the prisoner, is given for 30 seconds. Smoke will begin to come out of the
prisoner's leg and head and these areas may catch fire if the victim has been
sweating profusely. A doctor will examine him and if he still shows life signs,
more jolts of two-thousand volts are administered to finish the job (Matthews).
A main reason for electrocution's original use was the thought that death was
immediate. Unfortunately this is not the case. Doctors today believe that the
victim feels "himself begin burned to death and suffocating since the shock
cause respiratory paralysis as well as cardiac arre .....

Opinion On The Death Penalty
.... killer". So why, as
educated citizens, would we want to lower ourselves to this level? Do we feel
that we need to show the power of the police force by killing the killers? The
death penalty is extremely barbaric and is often botched in order to let the
accused suffer for several minutes. Society by now must realize that two wrongs
certainly do not make a right. You do not show society anything, by killing the
killers, except your ignorance for human life and well being.
Some thought has been that if you do "kill the killer", it will deter
others from committing such a terrible crime. However, murder rates in Canada

Pedophilia: Causes And Typologies

new, yet have had a large upstart in membership since the early 1970's(Charon,
1979).
Because of the extreme sensitivity of the subject, research in this
field is quite underdeveloped. Researchers have even had trouble in agreeing
what to call the phenomenon. Much research on the victims has dubbed the act as
child sexual abuse, most research on the offenders has labeled it as child
molesting or pedophilia. The term pedophilia has some utility since it suggests
a predisposition for the act separate from the act itself. The ambiguity of
this term however, is what causes confusion. Pedophilia .....

PD but nothing further was done. About four thirty paperboy Steve Shannon, who
hadn't heard anything the previous night, noticed what looked like a telephone
wire hanging over the front gate and a bug light on near the house. Mr. Kott
also noticed the wire when he went out to get his paper at about seven thirty
that morning (Bugliosi & Gentry 4-5).
Winifred Chapman, the housekeeper for 10050 Cielo Drive, arrived at the
house and also noticed the wire hanging at the gate. She first thought the
power was out but then she pushed the button to open the front gate and it did.
She began to walk up th .....

.... and already it has had great
reviews and great public support, as it brings the police closer to the
community. Another part of this community based policing is that there are crime
prevention comities that are run by various community groups that have monthly
meetings with the police. A police officer starts their career with on the job
training and then they move on to become a constable where they must be able to
relocate to any part of the country where they are positioned. In order for an
officer to advance tier career they may have to switch divisions where their
careers may excel. The work values for a police officer is .....

The Pros & Cons Of The Death Penalty
.... felt. The punishment for murder right now is three square
meals a day, a roof over their heads, a bed to sleep in, very often activities
to do. That include Tennis, Weightlifting, or even Prostitutes. Lets change
the penalty for murder from country club to Death.
The Cons:
"What if the man is innocent?" That is the flip-side. Sure it is easy
for us to say If they murder, kill them too. But what if the man is wrongly
accused and convicted of murder. What if the man was sitting at home alone, and
therefore had no alibi. Why would we want to kill a innocent man? I even ran
across someone who said the only tru .....

The Effects Of Race On Sentencing In Capital Punishment Cases
.... prosecutor decides to seek the death
penalty, whether the jury recommends it, whether the judge gives it" (As cited
in Smolowe, 1991, 68). It is in these discretionary stages that racial biases
can infect the system of dealing out death sentences. Smolowe (1991) shows this
infection by giving examples of two cases decided in February of 1991, both in
Columbus. The first example is a white defendant named James Robert Caldwell
who was convicted of stabbing his 10 year old son repeatedly and raping and
killing his 12 year old daughter. The second example is of a black man, Jerry
Walker, convicted of killing a 22-year-old whit .....

parameters, this natural state of existence would govern its

(Mosier)
What this basically says is that laws are made up to maintain order, monitor
actions, and work for the best interest of society as a whole. If their were no
laws chaos and anarchy would be widespread. This is why society has set up
governments. To maintain order and to gives us safety.
All of the above sounds good to me; however I have written a term paper
on international politics that points out where our own government has broken
its own laws. The .....

Reviving The Death Penalty

However in the 1750's reform movements spread through Europe, and in 1847 they
reached the United States. In 1847, Michigan became the first state to abolish
the death penalty for murder.
Beginning in 1967, executions were suspended to allow the appellate
courts to decide whether the death penalty was unconstitutional. In 1972, the
Supreme Court ruled in Furman v. Georgia that the death penalty for murder or
for rape violated the prohibition against "cruel and unusual punishment" (Bedau
1). Four years later the Supreme Court reversed its decision in Gregg v. Georgia.
They held the death penalty for murder and .....
