Lithwick:Teens, Nude Photos and the Law In this article, published in Newsweek, the author explains the harsh possible outcomes from teenagers sending at the own free will nude photos of themselves to their mates or lovers. Something that the author defines as “sexting” epidemic and analyses how the law is treating offenders and victims. The author makes an obvious claim that the criminal-justice system is too harsh to solve any issues that deal with teens and technology because this issue is becoming more common and although he doesn’t examine different or alternative ways to solve the problem, personally I agree with him that the law should not interfere with such juvenile cases because being exposed to others instead of the person it was intended for is punishment enough. In the article, the author brings personal stories which highlight three
Smith didn't run around with rock stars. ("I guess I needed attention," Ms. O'Neal says, about setting a fire at Rod Stewart's house and stealing his girlfriend's shoe.) But "West of Then" is good enough to make her own experiences just as memorable. This book's phantom is Karen Morgan, Ms. Smith's photogenic mother, who began life as part of a privileged Hawaiian family with a lineage tracing back to the Mayflower and wound up homeless in a Honolulu park. The tensions within this family are piercingly evoked.
Money has been spent on guards, video monitors, bullet proof glass, four foot thick concrete steal plate vault, etc… If the money is being used for the document and to help it then its being put to good use. In the movie National Treasure the Declaration of Independence was stolen and now some people question the amount of money that is being used to preserve the document and to keep it secured. National Treasure was a movie and if a stunt like that was ever attempted all that would come out of it is failure, and severe consequences. It’s easy to do something in a movie but a movie is very different then reality. Patriotic men sacrificed themselves knowing writing this document could get them killed, and wrote this document so we could have freedom.
In the play, the families got caught because a thief heard them upstairs, and he got away by telling the police that he knew where some Jews were. On page 519 the thief knows that the families are hiding because Mr. Dussel said “Thanks to this clumsy fool, there’s someone now who knows we’re up here! Someone now knows we’re up here hiding! In the movie, it was said that the wife of the owner of the building where the families were staying called the police and told them that the families were there. c. Another difference between the play and the movie is that in the play they didn’t go into detail about the concentration camps.
It seems to be a legal blunder that is very straight forward, but becomes a heated debate. It begins with the argument should we prosecute a gamer for stealing via the virtual world? Alex Weiss is correct in saying that prosecution for virtual theft is wrong in the scheme of things, because each player reacts differently to behaviors. Even though a person is a “raider” in a game, it doesn’t make them a criminal in the real world. Weiss opens up his article with, “As a reformed online gaming thief, this ruling makes no sense to me.
When Filt brought the card to some sport-card grading services, they all said the card had been refinished and trimmed. Strek tricked Filt into buying this card, but it was not an original card; this was clearly a fraud. The related issue that I noticed about this case and my project court case was the facts show that the defendant, Win Van Lines, Inc. lost or stole client’s expensive properties, but it refused to accept the fault. In both these cases, the defendant lost because they had committed fraud and crime. I agreed with the court’s decision that the defendants of both these cases should pay the plaintiff the exact amount of what they had lost.
In The 'Burbs, Hanks uses the same excuse to investigate the home of his creepy neighbors. How Tom Hanks lets a room full of adults know that he has to pee. And in the art-house movie Road to Perdition, he uses his overactive bladder as a spidey-sense when he escapes a hit man by excusing himself to take a whiz. OK, this is still The 'Burbs. The footage of Hanks grabbing his penis in Road to Perdition wasn't nearly as funny.
CJ1210 Criminology | Unit 6 Assignment 1: Burglary & Drugs | By: Frank Washington | 10/30/2012 | My high is going down and I don’t have more money. What can I do to maintain my high? I can rob someone or break into somebody’s house and steal something of value to pawn or sell in order to get the money to remain high. That’s what goes through a drug addicts mind as they contemplate how to keep that high that they are used to. Drug use and crime goes hand-in-hand.
Without immediate discipline we are giving the impression that if they commit a crime only once they can continue to commit other crimes as well because, hey, they will just receive a slap on the wrist if they have never committed it before. For example: A twelve year old goes into Wal-mart and steals makeup. Well it may have only been maybe a three dollar lipstick, so when the police get called the youth is let go on a warning because it was nothing big. That twelve yr old now has it in their mind, “ Well, I got away with this crime so why don’t I go break into a house and commit a burglary, and I will get away with it because it is not really just theft.” Now because they did not get punished for the petty three dollar lipstick, the Justice system is going to have to deal with something bigger, when this could have been taken care of
In my opinion, I don’t think that this law would be beneficial to anyone and it would not work out in the end. Document 2 is about an exotic danger who accused three Duke University lacrosse players of rape, sexual assault and kidnapping at a party. The three players were innocent but there’s not doubt that a lot of underage drinking was apparent that night which impaired the judgement of those 3 boys. “College and university presidents generally agree that binge and underage drinking are the single greatest problems facing their schools, in large part because of all the bad behavior— including rape — that results from excessive and acute drinking on campus”(2). In college, binge drinking is always a problem and the drinking age of 21 is considered a “joke”.
