Drug companies that test trial medications in foreign nations are not acting ethically. Testing of experimental medications should be done in the host nation where the medications are being fabricated. A major moral difficulty that is being looked at with this is that the foreign countries that these clinical trials are occurring in are not completely taught on the dangers or completely comprehend what they are getting themselves into. For all the reasons mentioned above, I believe the drug companies are not acting ethically and go against the principles of act utilitarianism. Is American industry at too much risk of lawsuits to remain competitive?
Measuring Crime Jeremy Johnston Introduction to Criminal Justice 31 August 2015 Reginald Anthony How are crimes measured? Well according to the learning module in chapter two, crime is measured with statistics. Those statistics are used to determine effectiveness of new laws and programs, and procedural changes. The Department of Justice uses two statistical programs to measure the magnitude, nature, and impact of crime in the Nation. The two programs the Department of Justice use are the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program and the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS).
In this research paper I will analyze the break down the officially recognized races in the US, crimes specifically relate to these urban areas that are not present in more rural and suburban areas, finally how are crimes handled both at the judicial and executive levels in poverty-stricken communities as opposed to upper class communities. All communities are affected by crime and the criminal justice system designed to prevent it. However, impoverished urban areas with a large minority population are disproportionally impacted. Why is that? In order to be able to answer this, you must first examine a few additional questions.
Crime Reporting and Rates Responses 1 Crime Reporting and Rates Responses CJS 200 July 15, 2011 Crime Reporting and Rates Responses 2 I. What is the purpose of major crime-reporting programs? Reporting programs are designed to provide reliable data for law enforcement agencies, governmental officials (legislators), and sociologists to study the patterns, and trends of crime. The information is used as a tool to measure the effectiveness of prevention programs, ample coverage of police officers (strengths and weaknesses in their administration of policing efforts) in communities, legislation for rendering appropriate penalties, and sociologists to review the behaviors associated to specific crimes. II.
In “Science, Law, and the search for Truth in the Courtroom: Lessons from Daubert v. Merrell Dow”, Bertin and Henifin (1994) argue that science and law have different ways of pursuing ‘truth’ and they question who should be taking burden of this uncertain state. Mukherjee et al. (2001) and many other researchers question the risk of Vioxx, which was mainly for osteoarthritis relief, ever since it was introduced in the U.S. pharmaceutical market in 1999 (Wadman Meredith, p.899). Merck & Co. conducted an experiment on safety test of Vioxx, known as the VIGOR, before introducing it to the market and the company did hide the fact that there was a chance of harmful side effects associated with the drug (Mayer Theodore, p.1068). However due to actual risk of Vioxx, Merck & Co. voluntarily withdrew the drug from the market in 2004 (Wolsing Jennifer, p.214).
“Imagination… can lead to moral clarification.”(1) Savant believes that we must try to imagine why an illegal immigrant chooses to come illegally before we make a judgment call. He goes on to tell two stories of two different, yet similar illegal immigrants and their (though illegal choice) morally correct choice. He closes in stating that “The survival and growth of our own civilization may well depend upon our imagining better.”(2). In other words, to achieve a better society we must imagine a better society. What Savant fails to provide in his article though, is both sides of immigration.
While looking at these reports I also noticed that discrimination in race had a tendency to be a contribution to many of the crimes in the reports. I’ll begin by saying based on the data I found on the FBI.gov. Site about Violent crimes, the first thing I noticed in one of the tables was the high number of deaths related to Homicide. In this time frame there were a total of 12,996 homicides, of that 10,058 were noted to be male and either white, black or unknown ethnicity, 2,918 female white, black or unknown ethnicity, or 20 were unknown. Why would these numbers be so high I ask myself?
Crime Data Comparison RJ CJS/231 Crime Data Comparison Crime can be found in any and every part of the U.S. While there are many categories of crimes, the area of a state, for instance, metropolitan, suburban, or rural, drastically changes the statistics of a single crime committed in on metropolitan area, and can differ greatly when compared to another metropolitan area. Many factors can cause such disparity between this data. Crimes may not be reported to law enforcement agencies. One area may have a higher population and different diversity levels among occupants of the area than the other.
