...local agencies can set higher standards that do require a college degree from an accredited University or military experience. Even though there are different hiring processes across the state, most police agencies around the state have established similar hiring and qualification standards. Becoming a police officer in Boston is almost the same as becoming a police officer in Springfield ("How to Become a Police Officer in Massachusetts", 2013). Recruitment for the Boston Police requires that the department actively participate in recruitment for any qualified persons to fill sworn positions. There has to be an official job announcement that includes a description of the duties and responsibilities of the position; required skills; minimum education requirements; official deadlines for application filing; and Equal Opportunity Employer notice. Recruitment activities for the Boston police often include advertising or posted notices of any available positions or entrance examinations. Local newspapers, radio stations, college postings, and training academies are also used for recruitment purposes for the agency. Typically there is a superior...

...Week Three Read Me First Correctional Policy and Procedures INTRODUCTION For centuries, societies had no trouble stating that the purpose of sentencing was punishment and that punishment was retribution. With the Age of Enlightenment and utilitarian thinking, society recognized three additional goals: deterrence, incapacitation, and rehabilitation. The relative importance of these goals became tied to conservative, liberal, or radical ideology. In assuming management of a prison, wardens are responsible for perimeter security and maintaining an orderly, secure internal environment. Wardens often regard themselves as administrators, rather than leaders. As wardens become more educated, the formal structure of modern prisons is likely to resemble a large, private organization with an established hierarchy and defined responsibilities. When governments confine people, they assume certain responsibilities toward them, including provision of constitutional living conditions, thus avoiding law suits and court interventions. Other management issues, such as classification, custody, and control, are also a high priority for modern prisons. During the last several decades, there has been a move toward professionalization in—moving from custody to control to care. Achieving scientific, uniform, and successful administration of public punishment through professional development is the goal of the American Correctional Association. In this professionalization effort, issues...

... Domestic violence can be described as any form of deliberate coercion, bodily harm, sexual assault, or any other form of violent behavior committed by an intimate partner. Domestic violence has plagued all walks of life despite the age, race, religion, or background. Violence against an intimate partner is frequently followed by psychological abuse and controlling behavior relating to the methodical blueprint of power and control. Domestic violence comes in many forms but not always seen by the naked eye. Domestic violence constitutes forms of physical abuse, psychological abuse or even death that can be seen by other family members possibly causing a continuous cycle of abuse for generations to come. Facts and Statistics It is hard to grasp the notion that somewhere in the world every nine seconds a woman is being beaten or assaulted. On average, 85% of victims of domestic violence are women and 1 in every three women will endure some form of domestic violence in their natural life. Sadly enough only one fourth of all victims who have been physically assaulted by an intimate partner will actually report it to the police, implying that official statistics will never justify the full scope of the problem. The average age of a female victim who is at the greatest risk of harm by an intimate partner is between 20 to 24 years old. Domestic violence is the primary source of harm to a woman over all other possible harmful circumstances she will encounter. As if...

...Civil and Criminal Procedures–LEG 110 Define a Family. A family is a group of people who share are joined by blood, marriage, or adoption. It is also a group of people residing together consisting of parents, children, and other relatives by blood or marriage. Finally, a family is a group of people residing together who have consented to an arrangement similarly to those of blood or marriage. Explain What Constitutes a Marriage. Marriage is a legitimate contract between a man and a woman who mutually promise to live together in a relationship in law for life, or until the legal termination of their relationship. Once both parties have entered into a marriage contract, the legal status of both parties will have changed giving the husband and wife new rights obligations and benefits. Public policy is intensely in favor of the institution of marriage. Conventionally, marriage has been viewed as vital to the preservation of morals and is believed to sustain the family unit in our civilization. In the United States, marriage is regulated by individual states. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that states are permitted to reasonably regulate marriage by stipulating who can marry and the method in which they can dissolve a marriage. All states limit people to one living husband or wife at a time, and will not issue a marriage licenses to anyone who has not divorced a living spouse. Once someone is married, the only way they can be legally liberated from his or her spouse...

...Mozam Moughal – Legal Expert Q&A SUNDAY!! Lisa, I am more than happy in assisting you and putting the knowledge I have to use for a good use. Firstly, I will describe one of the most fundamental people in the legal systems which are lawyers. There are two types of lawyers which are solicitors and barristers. [pic] [pic] Most solicitors are graduates with a law degree. They must also undertake professional training both by a one year Legal Practice Course and then by two years under a training contract with a solicitor in practice. Solicitors generally work in large partnerships and they undertake most of the work in magistrates’ courts and county courts - both preparation of cases and also advocacy. But litigation- which is taking legal action: is only a small part of the work of the solicitor’s profession as a whole. Most are involved in commercial work relating to business e.g. dealing with commercial and other property dealings. There is also a large amount of private client work which does not involve any litigation (if it all runs smoothly) such as the conveyance of houses, making wills, advising on tax matters and so on. If you have any problems with your solicitor then you can contact the Law Society which regulates the work of solicitors and they deal with matters such as training, qualifications and complaints.

Finally, it will critically evaluate the contribution of nurses to the services. Vulnerability and domestic violence against women. Domestic violence is a global phenomenon, which is increasable being recognised not only as an issue of human rights but also as a serious public concern because of its short-term and long-term health consequences for women who have experienced it, and the serious impact on children who witness it (WHO, 2005). A vulnerable adult has been defined as ‘anyone who is above 18 years of age and who is or may be in need of community care services by reason of mental or other disability, age or illness; and is or may be able unable to take care of him or herself or unable to protect him or herself against significant harm or exploitation’ (DoH and Home Office, 2000). Vulnerability refers to an individual’s aptness to experience harm. In a concept analysis of the word ‘vulnerable’, The Department of Health (2005) suggested that vulnerability is viewed as unprotected, exposed, sensitive or immature. The vulnerable are susceptible to or at risk of health problems, harm, injury or victimization (Chesnay and Anderson, 2008). In addition, a vulnerable person is at risk of poor physical,...
