  • Essay on Restorative Justice: concepts and purposes of restorative justice and restitution

    $10.00

    Conduct research using the library, news reports, Internet, and videos to find information on restorative justice, inmate forgiveness, and the right to privacy.

    A member of your family was brutally murdered. The inmate is currently on death row, awaiting execution. A member of a victims’ rights group contacts your family to discuss the possibility of meeting with your family and the convicted murderer. The inmate wants to seek forgiveness before he is executed. The members of your family are outraged that this group dared to even contact your family. Members of your family express their concern regarding the invasion of their privacy. No matter what the inmate will say, it will not bring the family member back, and your family is not concerned with the inmate’s feelings or his desire to make amends for the crime he committed. Most your family members are opposed to meeting the convicted murderer, but you have some unanswered questions, and this would help you deal with the death of your loved one.

    You are going to have a family meeting on this matter to decide what action your family should take. You are preparing some information and performing research on whether or not meeting the convicted murderer would benefit your family and bring closure to this tragedy. In your discussion, include theories of morality, values, and consequences. You must also include the following information for the family to ensure that everyone is fully informed:

    • In terms of ethics, describe the concepts and purposes of restorative justice and restitution.
    • Address some ethical issues related to the concepts of restorative justice and restitution.
    • Include some implications of restorative justice and how you would approach the decision to allow or refuse a meeting with a convicted murderer.
    • Compose a description of the decision-making process, including the steps on how to approach the situations, a list of questions if a meeting is granted, or a list of possible reasons for rejecting the meeting.
  • Analysis of Acceptance of Gratuity by Police Officers

    $12.00

    For this assignment, you will interview police officers regarding their views about accepting gratuities. You will then review 2 arguments for accepting gratuities.

    During the interview with the officer, you will discuss the following topics related to gratuities, reporting on the interview in your Individual Project report:

    • Determine from the officer the department’s official policy related to gratuities, and relate how strictly that policy is enforced.
    • Discuss any “unofficial” code regarding gratuities.
    • Does the officer feel that he or she should be allowed to accept small gratuities such as free or discounted meals or coffee?

    You will then explore and report on the following questions in your Individual Project report:

    • Discuss in detail 2 basic arguments against the acceptance of gratuities.
    • Do you believe, based upon your reading of the topic of gratuities and your interview of the police officer, that gratuities lead to more serious breaches of ethics in law enforcement? Provide support for your assessment.
  • • What would be another theory and strategy to avoid stereotyping individuals in the criminal justice system…

    $15.00

    Labeling theorists are adamant about the labels that offenders are given throughout the criminal justice system. Labels, such as ex-felons, are deepening the very behavior that they are meant to halt because of stereotypes that incite an individual trying to recover after a prison term. The labeling theory argues that the criminal justice system is limited in its capacity to restrain unlawful conduct but also is a major factor in anchoring people into criminal careers.

    The cultural deviance theory explains the causes of criminal behavior in urban areas are not about the poverty suffered in those areas but the product of a distinct lower-class culture whose focal concern is deviance against the norms of society.

    The theory identified 3 influential versions:

    • Lower-class culture as a whole is responsible for generating crime in urban areas.
    • Urban lower-class areas produce subcultures that are responsible for the rise of crime.
    • Subcultures of crimes in urban areas where individuals come together to band in creating crimes for their own personal gain and satisfaction

    Write a 5–6 page paper answering the following questions:

    • What would be another theory and strategy to avoid stereotyping individuals in the criminal justice system?
      • Is labeling theory a legitimate crime causation theory? Why?
    • In your opinion, where do gangs fit in the 3 influential versions of cultural deviance theory? Why?
    • Which one of the two theories would you use to explain the following problem:
      • The number of youths joining gangs in the inner city has doubled, while the number of gang leaders serving time in prison and being released after good conduct has increased. The crime rate for gang violence has risen 20% from last year.

    Requirements

    • Your opinion statements must be justified by theory or real-life strategies and practices of law enforcement activity.
    • The explanation of cause of criminality in question 3 must use the case provided.
    • You must use the labeling theory or cultural deviance theory in answering questions.
    • You must use APA style in citing and creating your reference page.

  • Issues of justice, discrimination, civil rights, feminism, etc

    $20.00

    We are discussing the issues of justice, discrimination, civil rights, feminism, etc.

    I want you to interview 3 people, preferably of various ages and ethnic groups. Pose the same 5 questions to them regarding the pre-mentioned topics. Some possible questions may be: Do you believe racial equality exists in our country? Have you recently been discriminated against? How would you feel about your son/daughter dating our marrying someone from another racial group? Do you think that the election of Barack Obama helped racial relations? Do you think that affirmative action is racial discrimination? Do you believe that women are treated equal to men in our society? Do you think that gay men or women should be allowed to marry and be given full civil rights under the marriage law ? These are some possible questions; I’d like you to include others that you pose.

    Write a paper (4-5 pages, double-spaced) summarizing the answers. Give details about the people interviewed, i.e., single, white male, 24 years old; married, black female, 40 years old, etc. Do not use their real first names. After you’ve summarized the responses give your own comments and observations.Did you think any of the comments could be perceived as judgmental, prejudice or racist, why? Were the people reluctant to answer the question? etc. Okay ?

    People may be reluctant to give specific answers to your questions. Try to persuade them to give answers beyond a “Yes” or “No.” Tell them that their real names will not be used. They could be assured of that.

    I hope that you will have an interesting and fun time with this assignment.

    As an aside, a few years ago, when I gave this assignment, one of the questions that I posed was, “How would you feel about a female or an African-American president? My, my, how times have changed.

  • Los Angeles County sheriffs obtained a search warrant for the home of four black suspects…

    $0.00

    Los Angeles County sheriffs obtained a search warrant for the home of four black suspects in an identity-theft fraud scheme. When police went to the home, a white teenager answered the door and was ordered to lie face down on the floor, while police went into the bedroom and ordered the two naked white people in it to stand naked next to the bed, while police searched the home.

    It turned out that the black suspects had moved 3 months earlier. The white couple sued the police, contending that the search was an unreasonable invasion of privacy, as the color of their skin should have immediately tipped police that they were not the suspects and that the premise for the search (the warrant) was flawed.

    If the police searching the home found drugs or other unrelated incriminating evidence during the search, would it be morally permissible to use the evidence against them? Who if anyone, would be considered negligent in this situation?

  • The Power of Athens

    $7.00

    “The growth of the power of Athens, and the alarm which this inspired in Sparta [Lacedaemon], made war inevitable.” – Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War, Book 1.
    What is the meaning of this phrase? Using specific INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS theory and/or concept, how might we be able to best interpret this passage?

    1. One opinion is that Athens growth in strength made Sparta retaliate by the notion of “BALANCING” against Athens. The concept of Security Dilemma is also used in regards to this passage.Sparta had to take measures and prepare itself for any unfortunate event….just like Iran balances against the U.S in terms of power. Also growth in power in your rival will always escalate tension between both parties…ex. the cold war, Iran’s nuclear program.Also Sparta could be realists in the sense that they expect the worst case scenario and they have to prepare accordingly to that the type of logical basis.
    • step1) explain the quote in your opinion
    • step2) connect the the quote to Balancing, security dilemma, and realism
    • Step3) connect the athens vs spartans to current rivalries

  • COLD WAR – NOW AND BEFORE

    $15.00

    To write a double-spaced 3 Full pages Essay about the both these topics: “Cold War Before and Today” and “Globalization – The Challenges of fashioning a 21 st Century world Order”.

Although your essay will rely primarily on your chosen documents, use your knowledge of the lectures, and other readings to interpret the context of the document. Be sure to support your main points or arguments with specific references to the documents. Direct quotations must be enclosed in quotation marks. Always supply a page number and the author’s name for a direct quotation in parentheses.

    UK CASES AND LEGISLATION TO INTERNATIONAL LAW

    A robbery is committed in central London. Examination of CCTV evidence from cameras in the vicinity clearly shows the robbers running in the direction of Knightsbridge, where a number of foreign embassies are located. Although the police are reasonably certain that the suspects have taken refuge in one of the embassies, they are unsure which one. For this reason they wish to search all of the embassies.

  • Why is capitalism inherently expansionary….

    $7.00

    1. Economic Globalization. In the Communist Manifesto Marx provides a description of the expansionary and global nature of capitalism.
    (a) Explicate Marx’s argument. Why is capitalism inherently expansionary, according to Marx? How does Marx describe the relationship between the nation-state and global capital?
    (b) Use Marx’s theory to make the strongest argument you can that globalization is oppressive and exploitative. Utilize at least one outside article and some statistics to support your position.
    (c) Make the strongest argument you can in favor of globalization. Utilize at least one outside article and some statistics to support your position.

    2. Exploitation and Profit. Marx argues that profit derives from the exploitation of workers. For Marx, however, exploitation was not an abstract theory of justice, but a concrete examination of actual conditions. In this spirit, describe a real life example of exploitation, either in the US or abroad.
    Can a wage be exploitative if the workers voluntarily accept the wage? Why or why not?
    What would Marx say about the rise of household and consumer debt over the past 40 years? What would an adequate wage be?
    Who or what should determine wages, if not the market? Finally, if you could pass legislation to eliminate exploitation, what would it be, and what might be some potential problems with this policy?

  • How effectively they cope with the forces of nationalism and national identity

    $25.00

    A major theme of the course so far has been the effects of the rise of many new sovereign nation-states after the collapse of the old empires. Creation of modern, sovereign, viable nation-states depends heavily upon the establishment of a national identity.

    At the same time, the demands of “globalization” have (according to your authors) increased the importance of IGOs in dealing with issues.   This creates a tension between the forces of nationalism and those of the need for increased international cooperation and coordination.

    Select any two IGOs and compare them in terms of how effectively they cope with the forces of nationalism and national identity. Is this less of a problem for one than the other? If so, to what might this be attributed – its structure, its operating rules, the nature of the issue it addresses? If there is no apparent difference between them in this regard, what do they have in common that accounts for the similarity?

    If you were asked to advise the leaders of an IGO on how best to manage nationalist interests and impulses in the organization, what one or two pieces of specific advice would you offer, based upon your comparison?
