...Intermediate sanctions are criminal penalties that do not include jail time or probation. Intermediate sanctions fall in the middle of these types of punishments and offer an alternative to them. Intermediate sanctions are sanctions that restrict the offender more than does simple probation and that constitute actual punishment for more serious offenders. Intermediate sanctions are intended to provide judges with more flexibility when directing sentences. There are several sanctions programs for offenders to participate in. House arrest involves the offender being confined to his or her home. The offender cannot leave unless traveling to and from court, work or school may sometimes be allowed. Community service involves the offender to do different types of volunteer work, such as street cleaning, helping in a soup kitchen, or volunteering in a hospital setting. More than $1 million in fines is collected annually in the United States from offenders. Restitution is a sum of money that the...

...Alternatives to Incarceration Abstract Our country continues to search alternatives to the overcrowded prisons bulging at the seams. Citizens are crying for a relief on taxation in funding these prisons. The criminal justice system has searched for years for ideas to limit incarceration. Some alternative programs have withstood the test of time, some continue to build a name for themselves, and others have just come onto the scene. This paper will focus on three alternative programs to placing adults in prisons. These programs include military services, intensive supervision programs (ISP’s), and Restorative Justice programs. Each provides some type of benefit to criminals, corrections department, and society. Alternatives to Incarceration Our country seems to have gone in various directions trying to find a successful justice system to work in punishing crimes. We went from a rehabilitation system, to no tolerance policies in the 1980’s. Overcrowded prisons forced officials to let prisoners out early in the 90’s. Taxpayers wanted something done with crime in their communities, but didn’t know which way to turn. A faulty criminal justice system has been blamed in such that it had, “Inadequate or ineffective rehabilitation programs, lack of drug treatment, insufficient funding for resettlement after prison, and other . . . policies. . . .”, (Sherman & Strang, 2007, p. 12). Crimes continue to be a major concern within American society, yet our only response...

...Intermediate Macroeconomics 2 Coursework Question 1 a) The production function is Y=AKαL1-α as it is a constant-returns-to-scale production function. Computing the Solow residual giver you ∆AA , which is the rate of technological progress. From the question: α=0.2 ; ∆LL=n=0.01; ∆KK=0.07 ; ∆YY=0.05 Taking natural logarithms of the production function gives: ln(Y)=ln(A)+αln(K)+1-αln(L) Taking the first difference of both sides yields: ln(Y)-ln(Y-1)=ln(A)-ln(A-1)+α(lnK-lnK-1)+1-α(ln(L)-ln(L-1)) From here we can use the approximation: lnX-lnX-1≅X-X-1X-1=∆XX Giving: ∆YY=∆AA+α∆KK+1-α∆LL This is the growth accounting equation and can be rearranged to give the Solow residual: ∆AA=∆YY-α∆KK-1-α∆YY ∆AA=0.05-0.20.07-0.80.01=2.8% b) The new production function is: Y=Kα(AL)1-α I will compute the Solow residual in the same way as before. Starting with taking natural logarithms: ln(Y)=αln(K)+(1-α)ln(A)+1-αln(L) Taking the first difference: ln(Y)-ln(Y-1)=α(ln(K)-ln(K-1))+(1-α)(ln(A)-ln(A-1))+1-α(ln(L)-ln(L-1)) Using the approximation: : lnX-lnX-1≅X-X-1X-1=∆XX to give the growth accounting equation: ∆YY=α∆KK+(1-α)∆AA+1-α∆LL And rearranging to give the Solow residual and plugging the numbers in: ∆AA=11-α∙∆YY-α1-α∙∆KK-∆LL=3.5% Note that the growth rate of technology when the labour-augmented production function is used, of 3.5% is greater than that of the Standard Cobb-Douglas, of 2.8%.

...A HANDBOOK FOR VALUE CHAIN RESEARCH Prepared for the IDRC by Raphael Kaplinsky and Mike Morris* We are grateful to colleagues in both our individual institutions and in the Spreading the Gains from Globalisation Network (particularly those participating in the Bellagio Workshop in September 2000) for discussions around many of the issues covered in this Handbook and also to Stephanie Barrientos, Jayne Smith and Justin Barnes. An Important Health Warning or A Guide for Using this Handbook Lest anyone feel overwhelmed by the depth of detail in this Handbook, especially with respect to the sections on methodology, we would like to emphasise at the outset: this Handbook is not meant to be used or read as a comprehensive step by step process that has to be followed in order to undertake a value chain analysis. We know of no value chain analysis that has comprehensively covered all the aspects dealt with in the following pages, and certainly not in the methodologically sequential Handbook set out below. Indeed to try and do so in this form would be methodologically overwhelming, and would certainly bore any reader of such an analysis to tears. Our intention in producing a Handbook on researching value chains is to try and comprehensively cover as many aspects of value chain analysis as possible so as to allow researchers to dip in and utilise what is relevant and where it is appropriate. It is not an attempt to restrict researchers within a methodological strait-jacket...

OPINIONS Trade between India and Pakistan: Potential Items and the MFN Status Abid Qamar∗ During the last several years, opening up of trade between India and Pakistan has become the most sought after question at many policy forums and among concerned groups. The issue has gained particular importance after India granted the Most Favored Nation (MFN) status to Pakistan, to comply with the principles of World Trade Organization (WTO) regime in 1995, and Pakistan’s reluctance in reciprocating so far. It is believed that increased trade relationship can play a vital role in normalizing the political relationship between the two countries. This will, therefore, benefit millions of people living in both countries as the resources would be diverted from less desirable areas, such as defense spending, to poverty alleviation initiatives. Given the likely impact of trade liberalization between the two countries, the unavailability of any established estimate of potential trade and the items likely to be traded is unfortunate. With a view to come up with some estimates based on some methodology, however simple it is, this note attempts to find the potential of trade between the two countries by identifying the potential items. It estimates the scope for exports and savings by substituting our imports from...

...SOUTH AFRICA 756 SOUTH AFRICA SOUTH AFRICA 1. GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1. General Overview The Republic of South Africa occupies the southernmost part of the African continent (see Figure 1), stretching latitudinally from 22° to 35° S and longitudinally from 17° to 33° E. Its surface area is 1 219 090 km². It has common boundaries with the republics of Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe, while the Republic of Mozambique and the Kingdom of Swaziland lie to the northeast (Figure 2). Completely enclosed by South African territory in the southeast is the mountain Kingdom of Lesotho. FIG. 1. African Continent To the west, south and east, South Africa borders on the Atlantic and southern Indian oceans. Isolated, 1 920 km southeast of Cape Town in the Atlantic, lie Prince Edward and Marion islands, which became part of South Africa in 1947. South Africa has a lengthy coastline of about 3 000 km. This coastline is swept by two major ocean currents – the warm south-flowing Mozambique-Agulhas current and the cold Benguela. The SOUTH AFRICA 757 former skirts the east and south coasts as far as Cape Agulhas while the Benguela current flows northwards along the west coast as far as southern Angola. The contrast in temperature between these two currents partly accounts for important differences in climate and vegetation between the east and west coasts of South Africa. It also causes big differences in marine life, the cold waters of the west coast being much richer in oxygen...
