This was necessary because the sentence was so inadequate that it needed to be changed for Thomas and his family in order to achieve justice as well as to deter acts of alcohol fuelled violence by emphasising to society that this behaviour is no longer acceptable. The fact that the case was appealed highlights that the law is responsive to meeting society’s needs, but this raises the question why should the public have to ‘outcry’ before justice is achieved for victims. The appeal meant that Thomas’s family had to relive the whole night again therefore it wasn’t in their best interests as instead of saying goodbye and remembering Thomas they had to relive the entire case and events to get an
This tended to cause a lot of early complaints. This could negatively impact the effectiveness of the police force if people were this unsure about them.” This source suggests that there was an element of distrust, as the people did not know what the police did, thus the police force’s work was doubled, as not only did they have to combat crime, but they also had to reassure the public that they were not a military force, and that they could be trusted. Therefore, initially this might have led to many crimes being unreported, making the force ineffective. “This source shows the inconsistency of crime prevention in the growing industrial cities in the early 19th century. Where Newcastle had an 'efficient force' other areas such as Liverpool were 'policed by a mix of watchmen and parish constables'.
Although police officers stand for peace, there are many countries where people view police not as the hero but as the villain. Even in safe, developed countries like Canada and the United States, acts of police misconduct have occurred. For these reasons, police officers should not be allowed to carry firearms. Eliminating guns won’t eliminate police misconduct; however it will take some power away from them but that can be good because they will also be gaining power this way. It sounds confusing but when people see a man with a gun, no matter what side of the law he is on, they will get intimidated and possibly fear him.
The Problem: The problem with homelessness is the negligence shown by individuals in need not utilizing the many programs funded by multiple organizations that were put in place to assist society for these specific reasons. Without the homeless population participating in these beneficial programs that the community provides, they are negatively impacting their lives as well as simultaneously affecting the livelihood of the individuals who supply these public programs. The Solution: In order for our society’s social system to exist, we must stabilize these public programs to improve the homeless situation as well as stabilize employment for the community. Plan of Action: A research design has been constructed to study the aspects of this situation as well as test the hypothesis: 1. Find out how many homeless individuals are in the community: 2.
The first thing in doing a development project is that you should know that land use is very political. Developers not only have to deal with the State Government, but also the local government. These governments include the general population itself, the neighborhood councils, and any local politicians. They may be in dispute about what the land can be used for as they all have different ideas as to how the land should be used. For example, some neighborhoods may be against limited parking because they think that the overspill of parking will limit their own parking spaces.
This power struggle led to the downfall of team policing in Aberdeen. The definition of team policing “meant something different in each city, but generally it has been an attempt to strike a new balance between the presumed efficiency needs of police centralization and community needs for police decentralization in order to be more responsive to citizens” (Sherman, Milton and Kelly 1973:13). It means that there should be lots of communication between team members, as well as communication between the team to the community. “In Aberdeen, it began as an effort to counteract the low morale and boredom of single officers patrolling quiet streets” (Sherman, Milton and Kelly 1973:13). Aberdeen wanted to get rid of the loneliness on the job for officers.
Perceptions People Have of the Law and Law Making In society there are conflicting images of the law. For instance citizens should be able to trust and feel comfortable asking for help from the police. But things like police brutality and corrupt police officers can deter people from seeking help when they need it. Past experiences with the law can also contribute to people believing the law does more harm than good. Corruption in parliament can also leave people unsatisfied with our government and law making.
Similarly, Antonio also has confusion that if, he will do right thing by supporting Kevin through complaining about the fraud to the higher management, he may be fired by the management as top management could also be involved in this. It is because management may think that he was not in the support of the decisions of higher authorities. So, this situation refers the ethical dilemma that is faced by Antonio in which he know that what is right and what is wrong but he could not take appropriate action due to having mental conflicts between moral imperatives. In addition Antonio knew that
Legislation in the past has considered the elimination of juvenile courts because community perception that courts are too lenient on serious the crimes and rule unfairly on the minority and poor children. The repercussions of merging the juveniles and adult court systems will impact society economically and psychologically and would undermine the mission of establishing a court
However, it still does not guarantee him a free choice. “When he has learned both, he pursues whichever he likes better, unless the city needs one more than the other.” (p.45) Thus, in the name of public welfare, a person might have to curb his own wants and desires. He is forced into doing what is good for the society as a whole, while neglecting his own personal happiness. Another point where the societal laws play with the emotions of Utopians is when regulating and limiting the number of individuals in a particular household. “The limit on adults is easily
