...Factors That Affect the Study Habit of Criminology Students of Cor Jesu College: Its Effects to Their Classroom Performance A Research Presented to the Faculty of Cor Jesu College In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Criminology Alan A. Lumanog, Jr. Leonilo F. Fuentis, Jr. Kim Rhayian S. Igdanes BSCrim - IV CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Criminology is a social science approach that studies law making, law breaking, and the social responses to crime. The principal elements of criminology are social science theory and research methods that explore all aspects of criminalities and justice issues. It is a field of critical inter-disciplinary inquiries that focus on the analyses of crimes, criminalities, social control and regulations, and the criminal justice system. Inter-disciplinary in nature, the theoretical and methodological approaches central to Criminology are complemented by a number of disciplines, including anthropology, history, political science, sociology, philosophy, and psychology (Pratt, 2011). In this era of globalization and technological revolution, education is considered as a first step for every human activity. It plays a vital role in the development of human capital and is linked with an individual’s well-being and opportunities for better living. It ensures the acquisition of knowledge and skills that enable individuals to increase their productivity and improve their...

...Drug Addiction Crime or Disease? Interim and Final Reports of the Joint Committee of the American Bar Association and the American Medical Association on Narcotic Drugs. INTERIM REPORT For the last half-century public authorities in the United States have been wrestling with the problem of controlling addiction to narcotic drugs. Since the twenties, legislation and enforcement policies have aimed at total repression, with criminal sanctions of notable severity attaching to every transaction connected with the non-medical use of drugs. Drug-law enforcement has become a major police activity of federal, state and local governments; the threat of long imprisonment, even of death penalties, hangs over not only the smuggler and the peddler, but the addict-victim of the illicit traffic. Addiction to narcotic substances has been recognized as a health problem for a long time and in many different countries. It has also in our times and in our national community, emerged as a criminal law problem of distressing magnitude and persistency. The fields of medicine and law are thus equally affected, and the Joint Committee which offers this report has undertaken its assignment with enthusiasm at the prospect of uniting its parent organizations in a common effort centered in an area where the concerns of each overlap and largely coincide. If the Joint Committee can contribute something towards mutual enlightenment and ultimate agreement between the medical and legal professions regarding...

...delivery outlined in the 1996 educating our future policy document and with relevant examples, showing how they have improved education provision in Zambia. Despite these efforts, dyslexia seems a major problem in Zambia which results in poor perfomances in schools especially at primary level. Definition of Dyslexia Reports in the medical literature of „word blindness‟ go back to the time when books first became relatively widely available to the population in Europe and reading became popular (Morgan, 1896 cited in O‟Brien et al, 2005). The broad concepts of developmental dyslexia1 and specific learning difficulties (SLD) are connected to particular problems with reading. There are two key developments that have underpinned a huge leap in general knowledge and understanding about dyslexia. Recent policy encouraging inclusion of pupils with additional needs in mainstream schooling in the UK and elsewhere has been linked with legislation designed to support the educational needs of all children and people with disabilities, including dyslexics (Pirrie et al, 2006). The other key development relating to dyslexia concerns recent findings in the field of biological research. These relate to the underlying mechanisms of dyslexia and...

...Assignment 2: Report on Religious Field Research Strayer University REL 212 Misconceptions The religion I decided to research was Buddhism. When it came to most religions outside my own, I for the most part never had any misconceptions and have always kept an open mind. One of the main things I was taught growing up was if I want to know something, just ask. From a young age I was always encouraged to learn as much as I can, and do not assume anything. Following this has always served me well, but as we all know, some truths can be blurred. Watching television shows, movies, the news, and even listening to the radio seems to somehow implant things in our mind that are not necessarily true, nevertheless we become comfortable with people tell us, and over time their truths can start to become our truths. With that mind, most people do not take the time to seek out the actual truth from a reliable source such as religious texts, or the local religious leader. If I had to say that I had a few misconceptions about Buddhism, they would be: 1. All Buddhists believe in reincarnation. 2. All Buddhists wear robes. 3. Spend most of their time in meditation. After a recent family crisis, I figured visiting any place of worship would help to clear my head, and even possibly help me to understand this religion a bit better. While in Philadelphia I visited the Amitayus Kadampa Buddhist Center in center city Philadelphia. Even knowing I was a walk-in, I was...

...Report on Religious Field Research Assignment 2 December 7th , 2011 Religious understanding is a touchy subject. Many people are ignorant by choice to the principles, teachings, and interpretations of other religions because they feel as though the religion that they were raised in is the one true and correct religion and understanding. Personally, the religion that I have the most interest in learning about is the Jehovah’s Witness religion. I have a lot of question that are rooted in the understanding of my religion and the inconsistencies that I feel the Jehovah Witnesses as a whole possess. Needless to say, I learned quite a bit from my sit down and acute immersion in the Jehovah’s Witness religion. I chose to interview my friend Wyendi and her grandmother to get a well-rounded outlook and understanding ( at least partially) of the religion as a whole. This report will attempt to discuss the misconceptions that I had about the religion, analyze my prior understanding against my understanding now that I have spoken to a Jehovah Witness, discuss whether or not I believe that the misconceptions about the Jehovah Witness religion are common, and present one way that I think could minimize misconceptions that people may have about religions that are not their own. Based on my understanding of the Jehovah Witness religion I had about 6 key questions that I wanted to ask. The first question that I posed to my friend Wyendi and her grandmother dealt with their non-celebration...

...Canadian development INGOs Sharon L. OÕSullivan * Telfer School of Management, University of Ottawa, 55 Laurier ave East, Ottawa, ON, Canada, K1N 6N5 KEYWORDS International human resource management; International non-governmental organization; International development; Northern NGOs; Canada; Capacity building Summary Over $100 million of Canadian overseas development assistance (ODA) is channeled through international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) (CIDA, 2006). Although INGOs appear to be successful at circumventing many challenges in international development (Sachs, 2007), empirical research attesting to their international human resource management (IHRM) challenges is sparse, particularly in regard to secular, Northern INGOs. This paper responds by investigating the IHRM challenges facing Canadian INGOs as they implement ODA-funded projects in the field, and by exploring how such challenges may vary in different types of INGOs. The methodology involved semistructured interviews with 31 managers in three different Canadian development INGOs. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed. ª 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. Introduction The term INGO refers to ‘‘international non-governmental organization’’ (Roberts et al., 2005). Such organizations exist for diverse socioeconomic reasons, focusing on global environmental concerns (e.g., Greenpeace), on global human rights concerns (e.g., Amnesty International), or on humanitarian health assistance...

...against Women Abstract This paper looks into the various forms of discrimination against women, which prevail in approximately all parts of the globe. Women usually bear the heaviest weight of exploitation and marginalization by society as a whole. In addition, women also often suffer from exploitation and oppression by men. Women are faced with discriminatory behavior in all stages of their adult life. Throughout history, women normally have had less career opportunities and legal rights and than men. In this paper, we look at how women are discriminated against based on their gender in public life, employment, politics, religion, education, marital status and family, social services, and before the law. Introduction Research data have revealed that discriminatory practices against women prevail in approximately all parts of the globe. Discrimination against women based on their gender occurs in public life, employment, politics, religion, education, marital status and family, social services, and before the law. Women make up half of the population of the world and carry out two-thirds of the globe’s labor hours. Women obtain a tenth of the income of the world and possess less than a hundredth of the world’s property. Women usually bear the heaviest weight of exploitation and marginalization by society as a whole. In addition, women also often suffer from exploitation and oppression by men. For example, women perform 50 to 70% of all agricultural work in Africa...
