The teacher then brought them to the vice principal’s office because they violated the school's rules. The first girl admitted to smoking, but TLO claimed she did not smoke.

When she got to principal's office he asked TLO again if she smoked. “In response to the Assistant Vice Principal's questioning, denied that she had been smoking and...

He has seen the inside of kids who have gotten in trouble. How he spends his time speaking at school assemblies. He also works a lot with MADD and DARE. I have read that he has talked to 400,000 students in the last year." Steve Howe You will observe a typical day in the life of a juvenile probation office. Her/his task and other duties she/he performs on a daily basis. What code of ethics they stand by and any potential ethical dilemmas the can arise. Her/his day starts off the moment a juvenile is arrested and incarcerated. The probation officer's first job is to interview the juvenile and her/his parent(s), and receive the facts of the incident from the juvenile's point of view along with the official version of the incident. The probation officer would request some background information from the juvenile and her/his parent(s) to be included in the report.

Introduction According to the European Commission Press Release Database, 2010, Article IP/10/790, seventeen bathroom equipment manufacturers were fined a total amount of €622 million for engaging in cartelization the same year. This case certainly provides an interesting topic for research and analysis as the cartel included seventeen manufacturers in six European countries and had a lifespan of twelve years. These quick facts demonstrate just how serious, extensive and carefully covered the agreement was. Not only did this market manipulation have a significant effect on the economy of these six countries, but also on the economic situation of the European Union as a whole and therefore touched the global economy. As the case is so extensive, it is important to...

...student and no police have to be involve either for the search or seizure of a student or property. When safety is involve of the student or personnel it is the duty of the school to search a student. A warrant may protect the student and staff but as long as the school officials conduct themselves in a manner viewed reasonable, they don’t have to prove probably causes before searching a student. Searches can be justified if an official prove reasonable suspicion with evidence that the student was in violation of the law or school rules. Reasonableness is a function of whether a search was initially justified, and whether the search was related to the circumstances that called for the search in the first place. A search is not considered reasonable if it is overly intrusive with respect to a student’s age, sex and rules the student has been suspected of violating. The Fourth Amendment of the Constitution states, “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants, shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” Nowhere in this law does it create special divisions or classifications between adults and minors in society, so one should naturally assume that persons under 18 should be afforded the same protections as anyone over 18.

...Wal-Mart Goes International: Stepping into International Waters Abstract The vision set by Wal-Mart is to continue progressing in the retail business not only in the United States, but internationally as well. The company's mission, provide cheap products and services to the public, claims to be the driving force that makes the company aspire in retaining leadership in the retail industry. This paper will explore reasons behind Wal-Mart’s engagement in an aggressive effort to penetrate the international market to sustain its growth in the coming years. The strategies utilized by the Wal-Mart company focus on market penetration, specifically since Wal-Mart is a highly recognizable brand. It is a well-known reality that for a company to be completely successful in the industry it belongs, it must venture in the international arena. We shall look at the drivers of globalization and analyze the various forces (economic, financial, physical, environmental, socio-cultural, labor, political, and legal) which may have impacted the decision to go global. Additionally, we will evaluate whether Wal-Mart will taint international business with negative publicity. Wal-Mart Goes International: Stepping into International Waters Wal-Mart transcended into international waters in 1991 when the company opened a Sam’s Club near Mexico City. Two years later, Wal-Mart International was born. Today, Wal-Mart International is a fast-growing part of Wal-Mart's overall operations, with 4,082...

There are now only 800 wage, and hour inspectors employed by the Department of Labor. They inspect six million work sites of all kinds in the USA making it easy to avoid inspection. It is estimated that 4,500 of New York’s 7,000 garment factories are sweatshops. These sweatshops are often mobile operations, making them even more difficult to regulate. The only equipment that is really needed is a few sewing machines making it easy to move. A typical sweatshop worker endures long hours including some overnights if an order needs to be completed. Workers are pressured to work very fast, encouraged not to drink water as bathroom breaks are limited. The cloth used has many chemicals and dust particles that cause many symptoms such as irritated eyes, noses and throats, and long...

...dangerous or hazardous condition that limits free use of property. Invitees – there is an expectation that the property is safe for invitees. Licensees – school officials have a duty to warn invitees of any impeding dangerous conditions and to take reasonable steps to protect them. Trespassers – there is normally no obligation to protect trespassers who enter the property illegally. Parents – when parents visit schools, there is an obligation to address unsafe conditions prior to their arrival. (Essex, 2012) Just as these laws create liability for school personnel, school safety standards are in place to prevent any such liability. Conducting the risk and safety assessment of schools helps us as educators identify potential threats/violations beforehand. Using the Georgia Department of Education assessment checklist and the Mitigating Hazards in School Facilities checklist for Corridors and Outdoor facilities; we were able to identify areas needing improvement.

...Healthcare Communication Methods Healthcare Communication Methods The first thing to understand when it comes to communicating with patients in nursing homes is that not everyone is the same. You will have patients that are hard of hearing, deaf, do not speak or understand the same language you do and that are blind; yes, being blind can affect how you communicate. If you have a patient that does not speak English it is not best to first bring in a family member. “You may be tempted to automatically use family members as interpreters, but this is legally risky except in case of emergencies.” ("When patients don't speak English, what is the risk?" 2007). If it comes down to the point where you have tried every other option and you are running out of time, yes, call a member of the family. The reason why this is risky is because you do not know if your patient does not want particular family members knowing where they are, these occasions are rare but they do happen. Sometimes people are embarrassed about the fact that they are in a nursing home and they do not want members of the family knowing that. Also, you may end up contacting a family member that is not in good standing with your patient and could possibly do more harm than good. Find a local interpreter and ask for information that is in the language your patient speaks. Most brochures for interpreters are printed with several different languages on them. Let the patient see the information that you have, that should...

...The Fourth Amendment The Fourth Amendment is the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. This amendment basically states that we as Americans have to right to be secure as people, in our houses, and within our own private documents. It also protects us against unjust and unfair searches and seizures of our own private possessions. It also states that no warrant to allow these actions will be given unless there is probable cause that is backed up by oath or confirmation, specifically stating what is to be searched, or seized. VERNONIA SCHOOL DISTRICT 47J, PETITIONER v. WAYNE ACTON This was a case between a school district versus a student athlete who refused to take a mandatory drug test imposed on the athletes by the district. The issue started when school officials started noticing more and more students using drugs, and acting out in class, along with delinquent behavior. They began to glamorize drugs, and often boast about using them. Until finally the school realized that the interscholastic athletics were in a complete state of rebellion. They believed that the use of drugs was in turn, the source of the problem that was occurring. They decided that the athletes were a main source...

...but that is what the patient thinks or believes. In reality, doctors are human beings. And, to err is human. Doctors may commit a mistake, but committing a mistake due to one’s own carelessness is defined as negligence. The Black law dictionary definition of negligence “conduct, whether of action or omission, which may be declared and treated as negligence without any argument or proof as to the particular surrounding circumstances, either because it is in violation of statue or valid municipal ordinance or because it is so palpably opposed to the dictates of common prudence that it can be said without hesitation or doubt that no careful person would have been guilty of it. As a general rule, the violation of a public duty, enjoined by law for the protection of person or property, so constitutes”.

...thing if equipment is not getting cleaned properly. According to one news article, “That doesn't give you another excuse to hit the snooze button rather than working out, however. Doctors say the benefits of exercise far outweigh the small chance of acquiring staph or another infection at the gym or in the course of your fitness routine.” (Hobson, 2008) The article gives several good preventions to use in order to remain safe from a staph infection: make sure equipment has been clean or clean it yourself, don’t share clothes or towels, shower after workout, wear shower shoes or flip flops, don’t ignore symptoms and if you have a scrape or open wound stay out of the hot tub (Hobson, 2008).

...Annotated Bibliography You Have Been Caught, What Now? Abstract The police have arrived and there is nowhere to run. Even if one did, they know a crime was committed and who has done it. Where does one go from here and what is going to happen? This will give the resources to follow the procedural justice process from beginning to end under normal and under unusual procedures. Regardless of the verdict there will be options along the way that may result in different outcomes throughout the process and some are unexpected. It all depends on the individual and how each case is handled by the police, the prosecutors, and the judges. Perhaps this will shed some light on the procedural process of the criminal justice system and how it really works. Introduction: What happens now? This annotated bibliography shows the procedural process of justice and how it progresses under normal circumstances for some and unusual circumstances for others. In the United States the accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty. In a felony criminal case, the accused is “normally” investigated, arrested and booked, placed in a jail cell until the accused can be brought before a magistrate judge for the initial hearing called an arraignment, where the Miranda rights as well as the charges against the accused are read. Bond is discussed and granted or denied at this hearing. There is a Grand Jury hearing to discuss the merits of the case and it is “true billed” or dismissed. If it is true...

...privacy receives a higher priority based on situations that are individualistic. Although the Fourth Amendment provides protection for the citizens of the United States, there is room for occurrences of crime although the amendment reduces law enforcement’s efforts at crime reduction methods and access to evidence. During the last decade, the Supreme Court made rulings in regard to public safety, privacy, and sex offenders. This paper will debate and analyze two Supreme Court cases; People v. Cintron, and Connecticut Department of Public Safety v. Doe. This paper will also summarize the Supreme Court decisions along with the implications these cases have in regard to social police in the area of public safety. Changes to the approaches taken by law enforcement personnel in regard to individual rights and public safety have taken place because of rulings by the United States Supreme Court. Agencies have additional authority over the protection and application of civil rights, which in some instances bring into question if there is a violation of an individual’s Fourth Amendment rights. In the past, the shattering of privacy rights and changes made by recent Supreme Court rulings and law makers intrigue privacy rights and civil activists. The reasons behind these rulings were to create a system with balance to provide equal protection for citizens. However, recent court rulings state the government has taken a different approach. The People of the State...
