...Case Study: Out-of-Town Brown and the Besieged Probation Supervisor Team B CJA 464 September 2, 2015 Harry Kirk Case Study: Out-of-Town Brown and the Besieged Probation Supervisor The case is if Casey decides to talk with the reporter about officer’s recommendation, she should relate things to researched data. One useful piece of information is that about half of prison inmates are arrested and returned to prison soon after release from an institution (Beck, 1989). In this case, though the crime may sound horrific, the offender is low-risk; and moreover, he suffered emotional as well as physical abuse, sexual abuse, and that forced him to psychological disorder. As Prisons are meant for high-risk offenders, this offender may have so intermediate sanctions that may include fines, community corrections, home confinement, electronic monitoring, intensive probation supervision, and boot camps. These sanctions have better supervision than used in prisons. We know that first time offenders committing mid-level crimes and of low risk are eligible for intermediate sanction. This saves money without posing public threat. As intermediate sanctions are applicable for only specific offenders, probation officers have to put offenders in appropriate programs suiting their needs and treatment. Social skills and employments skills can be improved by placing offenders in intermediate sanction. Standard probation, a community service program, or fines can be sentenced if the offender...

...Case Study: Out-of-Town Brown and the Besieged Probation Supervisor Zacarias Sambula Jr, Derrick Cooper, Kenisha Smith, Harshvir Sekhon CJA/454 Criminal Justice Theory and Practice April 01, 2013 David Pettinari Case Study: Out-of-Town Brown and the Besieged Probation Supervisor Intro Question#1 Question#2 The mental and physical trauma experienced by the 23-year-old man from his stepfather was enough to send him over the edge and murder his stepfather. The boy never had a chance for a decent life. Many prosecutors would have a hard time sending him to jail because of the mental state in which the 23-year-old man was at the time. It is important to consider that there is no criminal record. According to, the young man’s report there is no prior record and had been an incest victim because he was five; otherwise he is a nonviolent person, a low recidivism risk. Because of the situation intermediate sanctions will benefits the young man because he will be able to get the treatment he needs. Intermediate sanctions serve multiple purposes aside from keeping the young man out of jail for treatment. It also allows the prison system to reduce the population, make room for the more serious offenders, provide non-violent offenders with opportunity at a second chance, offers a wide range of rehabilitation programs and treatments. While in intermediate sanctions the young man’s activities will be restricted while receiving the help he needs, at the same time hold...

...IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE MOST MERCIFUL Hebron University Faculty of Graduate Studies and Academic Research English Department The Impact of Immediate Grammatical Error Correction in Senior English Majors’ Accuracy at Hebron University By Hamada Shehdeh Abid Dawood 2012/2013 The Impact of Immediate Grammatical Error Correction in Senior English Majors’ Accuracy at Hebron University Abstract This study aims at investigating the effects of grammatical error correction on EFL learners’ accuracy. Twenty-two males and females senior students were chosen randomly to respond to a questionnaire investigating their beliefs about immediate grammatical error correction. Therefore, this study was conducted in order to answer this question: what is the effect of grammatical error feedback on students’ accuracy? Results related to the questionnaire that was delivered to the participants proved that immediate error correction enhances and has a positive effect on their accuracy. Introduction Accuracy, in its simple view, is the ability to produce grammatical correct sentences (Gower et al. 1995). Since its vital role in acquiring the English language in Palestine, grammar should seize a wide distance in EFL classrooms and should be taught either inductively or deductively. Nevertheless, the process of teaching and learning does not guarantee that all learners are expected to produce grammatical sentences, so the role of the teachers, here, is to respond...

...Evolutionary Changes within the Correctional System Emily Correctional Systems- 2313 Nov. 23, 2014 Mr. Charles Williams Evolutionary changes within the Correctional System Abstract: Corrections is defined as “a process whereby practioners from a variety of agencies and programs use tools, techniques, and facilities, to engage in organized security and treatment functions intended to correct criminal tendencies among offender population” (Hanser, 2013, pg. 2) But the word corrections also originates from a separate meaning which is the need or desire to provide a punishment to individuals that have committed behavior not found suitable or acceptable by the society. Therefore in this essay I will discuss the changes within the American Correctional systems that have caused them to evolve to the present day. Introduction: The correctional prison system within America has changes in multiple differential aspects between the mid 1900’s to the present day. But the most important of these changes which have occurred are: Prison programs, classification systems, housing, the professionalism, and the shift in authority and management. Programs for inmates have improved. The system used to classify inmates have altered. New intermediate facilities have been formed, including the development of adaptive housing. The professionalism between the prison staff as well as the formation of organizations, has increased. Lastly, among the more important aspects of changes, the use of applying...

The central aim of the study is to investigate the behavior of Nigeria’s aggregate import demand and its determinant (function) and then analyse the data from the period 1970 to 2008 and based on the above objectives, proffer policy proposals based on the results obtained from the analysis, for the optional management and control of Nigeria’s import demand. All the data used for the total import. Independent variables were obtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) year 2008 golden jubilee edition of statistical bulletin. The error correction model (ECM) approach was employed for analysis. The results reveal that the error correction model (ECM(-1)) is significant. This shows that a long run relationship exist among the quantity of import demand and its determinants over sample period of 1970 to 2008. The statistical significance of the lagged error correction model ECM(-1) suggests that the aggregate import demand adjust to correct longrun...

...Financial Liberalisation and Price Stability in Kenya[1] Anders Isaksson Department of Economics, Göteborg University Box 640 S-405 30, Göteborg, Sweden. Abstract It has been postulated in the literature that attempts to liberalise the financial sector when inflation is high can lead to high interest rates and even higher inflation. Thereafter. when inflation is fought, a period of low inflation and high real interest rates follow. Since Kenya experienced this sequence, it appears that prices were unstable before and during the financial liberalisation. This paper argues that this was not the case as evidenced by cointegration between the involved variables and the abliltv to estimate a stable inflation model over the period 1970-91. When the cointegrating relationship breaks down, which it does in Kenya after the financial liberalisation, economic agents can no longer forecast inflation with confidence using Historical data. This breakdown of the cointegratina vector implies that agents switch to forward-looking behaviour, perhaps an indication of lack of credibility, in the financial liberalisation process. JEL Classification numbers: E31, E44 and O11 Kevwords: Kenya, Price stability, Financial liberalisation, Cointegration, VAR. 1. Introduction As part of its financial-sector reform, Kenya liberalised interest rates between January 1988 and July 1991[2].

...Parole and the Criminal Justice System Kenneth Mowery SOC331: Social Welfare and Ethics Brent Williams January 11, 2010 Parole and the Criminal Justice System Many offenders within the prison system, when released, must follow up with a parole officer. There can be many different conditions of parole placed upon the offender. The Parole Commission assigns these conditions of parole to assure that the parolee will live a life without crime or assist him or her to do so. The parolee may have to gain suitable employment, attend rehab, report to their parole officer at certain times or even wear a device that allows the offender to be monitored electronically. The parole system interacts or affects the Criminal Justice System in many ways. Are there ways to improve the effectiveness of this system? What does the future hold for this organization and its impact on the Criminal Justice System? History and Creation In June of 1910 there were three federal penitentiaries. Due to the enactment of legislation, federal prisoners began receiving parole on June 25th of 1910. The Parole Board, at this time, consisted of the warden and the physician of the prison and the Superintendent of Prisons of the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. Each prison had its own parole board. In May of 1930, however, a single parole board was established. This board consisted of three members that served full-time and were appointed by the Attorney General. In 1945, the board started...

Whether, the inmate is sentenced to life imprisonment or the death penalty. The facts in this research paper leans heavily in favor of life imprisonment as a cheaper form of punishment verses an inmate being sentenced to death row. The judicial system and politicians have formed several alternatives to assist our country with the ability to lower the cost of housing an inmate in our prison system. For example, the United States detaining systems are concentrating more on issuing a fair sentence to nonviolent offenders, such as, substance abusers and prostitutes. They realize that the majority of the inmates are in need of drug rehabilitation and have a mental illness. Also, the research shows that women offenders are the most affected with drug addiction...

...Inflation in India: Docile or Defiant? Executive Summary ASSOCHAM study finds that inflation was structural in nature rather than being episodic. Farm prices are less responsive to the RBI’s monetary policy whereas manufactured goods prices were found to be more responsive to the policy. Manufactured goods prices are showing new dynamics: a) Highest price rise in primary and upstream products b) A moderate rise in intermediate goods prices c) Least hikes in prices of finished and consumer products In the light of these features and trends in inflation, ASSOCHAM suggests four pronged anti-inflationary package. These includes Structural Correction for Structural Inflation: This calls for a comprehensive action plan for the farm sector, involving among other measures, a programme for a “Horticultural revolution” for increasing productivity of fruits and vegetables, fish and poultry. Controlling form inflation is a joint responsibility of the union Government and RBI. Only monetary policy adjustment will not correct such trend price rises. 2 Hence, RBI need not raise policy rates every time form prices are rising, as analysis shows farm price are not responding to monetary policy changes. Manufactured good inflation is showing for greater responsiveness to monetary policy changes. RBI should concentrate more on controlling these prices Going into the disaggregated and Sectoral price behavior of manufacturing goods, we find the dynamics of change is more in upstream...

...Introduction to Criminal Justice Electronic Monitoring and House Arrest Katelyn Fritz November 24, 2013 Introduction Electronic Monitoring (EM) and house arrest (HA) is a system that has been met with both trepidation and acceptance since its integration in the 1980’s. Though it goes by many names, including Community Sentencing and Intermediate sanctions, it still maintains a single identity. It is a form of punishment for offenders as an alternative to incarceration. This program applies to offenders chosen at the judge’s discretion and is based upon the offenders compliance, the nature of the infraction, and the burden on the system. Involved is a period of time where the offender is confined to his home under the supervision of a probation officer and some form of electronic monitoring. These monitoring options include the random call method (RC), an ankle monitor using radio frequency (RF) or GPS technology, or a combination thereof (Burell & Gable, 2008). Electronic monitoring is touted as an ideal means of reducing overcrowding in jails and prisons, but how effect is electronic monitoring and house arrest really? More than 30 years after its integration, there are several issues that have developed, or that have yet to be resolved. To demonstrate this lets us look at one example that occurred in the year 2000. Gerald A. Jones, a young, 18 year old man, was convicted of a robbery after sticking a gun into a woman’s face and stealing her watch. As a...

...Business Research Applications Paper RES/320 Research is used in every profession. Whether it is used to take a consensus for interest in juice bar flavors, or to isolate the blood type required for a successful transfusion, it is how all necessary questions get the appropriate and most accurate answers. I work for an organization that provides medical care. Specifically, I work for an ophthalmic clinic and surgical center. Our physician specializes in ocular diseases and refractive correction. Ocular, meaning eyes, is our specialty. Research has been used in this business by almost every person, at all times. From the initial purchase of facilities, to the expansion of facilities, to the care, diagnosis, and treatment of the patients, research is a vital part of our sustainability. Research is a key factor aiding in the physicians ability to diagnose and treat patients. However, additional consideration may need to be taken into account when providing care. When my family first had the idea to start this business, we had no idea where to begin. It was important to do some market research of our own. My father, who would be the physician, had been practicing medicine for years. However, he was no more than a shareholder in the practices he was employed by. He had never started his own practice. However, he knew from experience what type of facility he wanted to work out of and what type of diagnostic equipment would be required. My mother, who would be the CEO, was using...
