...Who are the real criminals in Rang de Basanti? I do not wholly agree with the message screened in Rang De Basanti. The movie, for all its comedy, drama and performances of the actors, suggests a very dangerous breed of patriotism. Simply put, you cannot assassinate the Defense Minister of the world’s largest democratic nation. It’s against one of the most fundamental ideals of the legalism India enjoys, that of due process, under which a convict is legally tried for his crime in the court of law. Similarly, the Defense Minister too should’ve been tried in the correct forum rather than being gunned down by a bunch of college students. Indeed, what the minister said and did in the movie was unbecoming and wrong, and undeniably, the movie gives a very strong base message (that the youth should make an effort to right the wrongs), however what Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra shows in the movie is drastic to say the least. Instead, if he had shown Aamir Khan and co. making an effort to rightfully convict the minister (Perhaps a sting operation? They could’ve sought access to the minister via Siddharth’s father), the movie would’ve made its mark much better. An analysis of the events transpiring before the assassination makes a rather strong case for Aamir Khan and his friends’ antipathy towards the minister. Amongst their best friend (an Indian Air Force officer) lays down his life in an aircraft crash to protect a town in Northern India, but rather than winning praises for his...

...The Writ of Habeas Corpus Research Paper and Essay Charlie Potter American Government June 2, 2009 Mr. Potter PART 1 - HABEAS CORPUS RESEARCH PAPER “By this action we should call him King Lincoln I.” - Anti-war Democrats, 1863 INTRODUCTION English in origin, the concept of habeas corpus literally means “that you have the body,” meaning that the court can force the police to produce a prisoner before them for review of their case. While complex in its use, a writ of habeas corpus forms the foundation for the rights of the accused since it allows one branch of the government (the courts) to check and balance the actions of another (the police) in criminal proceedings. And yet, while habeas corpus has been maintained as a fundamental right of the imprisoned, this protection has been tampered with in our history, making habeas corpus sometimes a casualty of our desire for security during times of crisis. Constitutional Principles Several constitutional principal are expressed through habeas corpus, the foremost being checks and balances and that the accused are afforded due process. The framers of the Constitution knew that governments become abusive of the rights of citizens when there is no power to check that abuse and when the treatment of the accused is arbitrary. The use of habeas corpus is in fact one of the few constitutional rights enshrined in the main body of the Constitution instead of the amendments, and is established...

...Two Models of the Criminal Process HERBERT L. PACKER Source: Reprinted from The Limits of the Criminal Sanction by Herbert L. Packer, with the permission of the publishers, Stanford University Press. 1968 by Herbert L. Packer. In one of the most important contributions to systematic thought about the administration of criminal justice, Herbert Packer articulates the values supporting two models of the justice process. He notes the gulf existing between the "Due Process Model" of criminal administration, with its emphasis on the rights of the individual, and the "Crime Control Model," which sees the regulation of criminal conduct as the most important function of the judicial system. T wo models of the criminal process will let us perceive the normative antinomy at the heart of the criminal law. These models are not labeled Is and Ought, nor are they to be taken in that sense. Rather, they represent an attempt to abstract two separate value systems that compete for priority in the operation of the criminal process. Neither is presented as either corresponding to reality or representing the ideal to the exclusion of the other. The two models merely afford a convenient way to talk about the operation of a process whose day-to-day functioning involves a constant series of minute adjustments between the competing demands of two value systems and whose normative future likewise involves a series of resolutions of the tensions between competing claims. I call these two...

The Downtown Eastside is also where the safe drug injection site called Insite is located. Through this paper, a few solutions will be discussed on what actions should be taken in order to “fix the skids”. A few issues that will be discussed include: the cost of drugs, harm reduction, drug rehabilitation programs, drug importation, revisal of criminal justice system, and criticisms. According to Wikipedia, Vancouver was for many years the main port-of-entry for the North American opium supply resulting in the rise in popularity for the usage of opium and heroin. During the Great Depression, a pattern of social decay became well established in the Downtown Eastside due to the gathering of the unemployed and poor amongst the area. During the 1970’s, the alcohol and poverty problems in the area was made...

...Terrorism came from the word of ‘terror’ which mean to horror and to fear. There is no specific definition about the meaning of terrorism. This is because the field that related inside terrorism is very wide and there are over 100 definitions of ‘terrorism’ according to studies. Terrorism have been existed for many years as a global phenomenon, but only in few decades ago that it has been getting stronger and to influence our daily lives with any costs. In our report, we will explain more details about the relationship of terrorism and transportation. Transportation has always been a target or method for terrorism to transfer their message to the public. While transportation keeps economic moving, nationally and globally, business relies on transport and transport systems at every level no matter transferring goods, transporting customers or staff commuting. From jet airliners to mass transit buses and rail terminals, vehicles and transport facilities are all-too familiar targets of terrorist attacks in all country and abroad. The impact of large-scale disruption of transport infrastructures can be critical for national and global business because transport systems have long been viewed as targets for terrorists groups worldwide. Also we will elaborate more on how terrorism can be spread or being use through the four methods of transportation like rail, road, aviation and maritime. For the incident strikes on the World Trade Center (WTC) in New York on September 11, 2001,...

...in turn assures stellar evidence gathering thus an accurate interpretation of the event. (Bernstein, 2009) Popular media representation in forensic science, forensic science in reality is very different then in a television show. Investigators do not show up to a crime scene in high heels, being an fierce CSI fan isn’t going to make you a good forensic scientist. What should students who want to enter the forensic science field study? Science is the key, he says: biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics are all good majors for someone looking to go into forensic science. Students who lack an aptitude for science can opt for a career in law or law enforcement instead. (Stanton, 2009) The effects that CSI has on the jurors and judicial process, jurors expect every case to have DNA testing. The jurors expect the courts to have the most advanced technology possible, just as shown on television. It is completely dependent on clearly error-proof forensic, scientific, technological evidence. In the background, jurors’ expectations for CSI-like evidence may effectively raise the standard from “beyond a preponderance of the evidence” to a standard more akin to that in the criminal context. In much the same way that today’s consumer expects a cell phone to operate on voice command; today’s jurors expect the introduction of evidence packed with modern science and technology in trials. These high expectations result in part from the amalgamation of public awareness, use, and availability...

...Matthew Hoskins Grand Canyon University PCN-520 Group Design Final Project Abstract Addiction and the issues which accompany it are at epidemic proportions. Peer group therapy has proven to be an effective therapeutic treatment for those who are addicted. The group offers a sliding scale fee structure for those who are not insured. Those clients unable to contract for abstinence for the duration of the group were disqualified. This essay explores a cognitive behavioral therapy group for women who are currently have a substance addiction. The participants range in age from 19-43. The group meets once per week over the course of 8 weeks. The prospective group members were each given a screening questionnaire to determine suitability for the group. The group was designed to identify and unlearn patterns which led to addictive behaviors. The clients learned ways to replace these behaviors with healthier alternatives. The group illuminated and discussed beliefs about their person which led to the addictive behaviors. 6 of the 8 participants successfully completed group therapy. The group has been recreated at several different locations due to the success of the original group. Final Project Group therapy is an important part of addiction treatment. Lee states, “Clinical studies have shown that peer group therapy in drug treatment is about as effective for inducing long term sobriety as individual counseling but most drug treatment programs combine the two...

...How Management and Strategy Applies in My Workplace James F. Adams, Jr. Webster University This essay will highlight some of the Management and Strategy topics that were taught in class this semester and how it relates to my job in the United States Air Force. For the purpose of this essay, I will focus more on my workplace, which is with the 56th Security Forces Squadron located at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona. Strategic Management: First and foremost, I’ll begin by briefly summarizing what the United States Air Force (USAF) is and the purpose for their existence. The USAF is one of seven uniformed services in the United States. They were initial part of the U.S. Army until 18 September 1947; the day the USAF became a separate branch of the military per National Security Act of 1947. The USAF is a military service within the Department of the Air Force, one of the three military departments of the Department of Defense. The USAF is headed by the civilian Secretary of the Air Force, who is appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. The highest-ranking military officer in the USAF is the Chief of Staff of the Air Force who exercises supervision over all Air Force units, and serves as a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Our Mission: The mission of the USAF is to fly, fight and win in air, space and cyberspace (USAF, 2014).

...Some of the most dangerous aspects associated with healthcare do not come from blood borne pathogens, chemical exposures or falls, but comes directly from people as evident in workplace violence(Fernandes, Bouthillette, Raboud, Bullock, Moore, Rae, Ouellet, Gillrie & Way, 1999). The effects of workplace violence is far-reaching and costly(Hoag-Apel, 1998). In fact according to the international council of nurses “ health care workers are more likely to be attacked at work than prison guards and police officers”(ICN, 2009). The aim of this essay is to critically appraise a systematic review of the literature based on workplace violence in the emergency department and to identify characteristics of interventional studies to guide best practice. This review will discuss current practices in reference to NSW health policy and guidelines, critique the systematic review by (Taylor & Rew, 2010) in terms of discussing methodology and provided a comprehensive overview of (Taylor & Rew, 2010) article(Hoag-Apel, 1998) (NSW Health, 2005). Finally, this review will attempt to recommend a change in practice in terms of the research question of what are the suggested interventions for workplace violence in the ED conducted by studies from 2004 ? Based on best evidence based practice and research(Hoag-Apel, 1998) . Although healthcare professionals and exclusively nurses are at higher risk of workplace violence, NSW legislation doesn’t reflect the increase risk associated or current international...

...several ways, methods and tools to select and hire human resources. But it is now a proven fact that organisations using scientifically proven assessment tools to make selection decisions, show significant increase in productivity, increased cost savings and decrease in attrition and other critical organizational problems. Most organizations use what is commonly known in Management circles as a funneling approach to selection, where more informal tools and procedures are used initially to reduce the pool of candidates to a manageable number of individuals who are then be put through a more extensive assessment process. Common initial screening devices include resumes, application blanks and reference checks, which are generally used to identify and exclude those who do not meet the requirement of the orgnisation, from further consideration. Another initial screening device is the informal meeting or phone interview, which is often used to allow organizational members direct interaction with potential candidates who will perform effectively, achieve results and make important contributions on the...
