Local governments across the United States are constantly looking for an efficacious public safety interposition that will provide a bi-fold effect on society. One, this public intervention should help in restraining crime and two, enhance the economic welfare and the sustainability of neighborhoods in the nation. Though the prevailing law enforcement philosophy remains to be anchored on “community policing” strategies, which is believed to be a potent and sufficient police strategy, law enforcement units are still hard put to cope with the increasing demands of curbing crime; here, the use of new systems and mechanisms that can help “community Continue reading...

The debate on abortion refers to right and wrong aspects associated with the termination of pregnancy and ending life of foetus. The abortion should be allowed because the decision to have child or not, does not impact only foetus but mother and father both.

Advocates of abortion believe that intentional abortion should be acceptable under certain circumstances Continue reading...

INTRODUCTION
Human beings have been trying to understand the behaviors of other human beings since the beginnings of communal living. No doubt these issues surrounded problems like, “he said/she said,” which means that two people are telling two very different stories of a single event; however, the two stories are antithetically different. One person may be lying and one telling the truth, but which is which and how best can equity and justice be served. Why are some people unwaveringly honest, loyal and helpful, while others are dishonest, deceptive and counterproductive to society? People commit innumerable illegal acts on Continue reading...

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to explain the factors that cause ethical dilemmas for the police. The paper also intends to propose the ways of solving the ethical dilemmas for the police. As the paper’s findings show, the police face moral dilemmas when their fellow police officers and bosses are involved in illegal and unethical practices. The officers do not report such occurrences because they fear. Also, the officers face situations where the law contradicts ethical practices. Certain situations are emergent and the police may have to violate the law so that they prevent crime. However, there Continue reading...

Introduction:

Terrorism can be defined as “the use of violent acts to frighten the people in an area as a way of trying to achieve a political goal (Merriam-Webster 2015).” Terrorism not only includes acts of physical violence, rather, most analysts agree that oppression by fear is also a terrorist act. Terrorism has become one of the most widely discussed social and political issues in the world, largely stemming from the increased activity of groups like Al Quada in the middle east and high profile terrorist attacks like the 9/11 attack on the world trade center, and the London Subway Continue reading...

ABSTRACT
There are many people in the prison system for any number of different crimes, from the petty to the most heinous. However, the prison experience is quite different for men than women.

Racial oppression is an institutionalized power formed in the past and practiced throughout history. The issue of racial oppression has been rampant in the United States since time immemorial. In the U.S, the whites assume that they have a dominant position in the minority group, and this supremacy is practiced and maintained at the institutional level. For instance, in late 1960s, the whites being the majority resisted the influx of militant black movement that championed for their rights and freedom. In 1968, the relations and attitudes of the blacks and whites led to a massive rioting of the blacks, Continue reading...

Abstract

Racism is an abhorrent policy, whether it is in the criminal justice system, the community, and the workplace. Regrettably, racist intolerance is still active in contemporary American society. Even though there have been laws that have been adopted designed to reduce if not completely eradicate racism, it is not decreasing, but even thriving. The paper seeks to determine the reasons that racism is still prevalent as well as the factors that fuel racist tendencies in America’s corporate sector.

Simply put, “racial discrimination” is a hostile treatment of another person owing to the person’s race of particular inalienable Continue reading...

HRM320: Employment Law

Over periods of enactments and amendments, current employment discrimination laws seek to thwart employee discrimination based on various aspects such as sex, race, nationality, religion, physical disability, and even age by employers.

According to the Canadian Human Rights Commission, discernment is a deed or a decision that treats an individual or a group of individuals negatively for various reasons collectively known as ground of discrimination. Such reasons include race, age or disability amongst others (2013, para. 1). Continue reading...

In a forum lecture presented at Harvard Business School, Craig Coy who oversaw the Homeland Security Group’s operational division in terms of coordination systems capabilities is concerned about critical infrastructures. Coy (2008) stated that a globalized terror threat can easily occur around oil/energy, because of instability in oil-producing nations, “we can protect the global chain of commerce,” since it Continue reading...
