These powers must be carefully regulated to avoid abuses by the state and its public services against individual members of the public. However, even in a country like the UK with highly trained and knowledgeable officers, a breach of human rights can still occur. This is why laws and policies as the Human Rights Act 1998 exist. The Act makes it clear that certain rights are given to all UK citizens and if these rights are broken by the public services then an individual has the right to take the service to court and challenge its actions. Human Rights are a key part in every Human Beings day to day lifestyle.
Both types of social control are effective in controlling the behavior of individuals. I believe that formal social control keeps society together. The legal system gives people boundaries and creates a system of what is wrong and what is right. Moreover, Tribunal provides a means of checking whether those laws reflect the majority of society. Therefore the law exists to maintain social unity.
2. Why is common law important? Common law is important because it keeps agreements and contracts liable and helps regulate our society. It is a body of general rules that applied throughout the entire English realm. Moreover, it became part of the heritage of all nations that were once British colonies, including the United
Public Policy a.Define public policy. Public policy is both the written and unwritten laws of a society that suggest the moral, ethical and social behaviors of people (Capalli, 1997, p. 393). Some public policies are common understandings among a group of people that exist in a particular locale, while other public policies affect the whole of society within a certain nation. Public policies guide a society in the direction that the people believe that it should be headed. However, because economic and social factors are constantly changing within the social order, public policies change as well to meet the varying needs and goals of the people.
Outline and evaluate the definitions of abnormality A social norm is behaviour in any given society which is considered acceptable and regular, these norms are often based around the law set by the authorities or in some cases the unwritten law of the citizens within the society, it is expected that all people abide by these norms therefore any deviation from the norms is branded abnormal behaviour. Social norms vary hugely between not just countries and cultures but also areas within countries or even boroughs. Due to this wide diversity there have been criteria set into place to identify whether the behaviour is abnormal. There are also a number of criteria for one to examine before reaching a judgment as to whether someone has deviated from society's norms. The first of these criterion being culture; what may be seen as normal in one culture, may be seen as abnormal in another.
The conflicts that are found in the everyday world is in need of open minded, diverse people. Obligation is indeed an efficient ethical perspective with strong ties to doing the fair and just thing. There are times when your obligation to the law might override your obligation to your partners or fellow officers. You have to be willing to abide by the code of ethics set before you which are true and just. In order to work with a diverse group of people you must be able to conform to the moment and the situation being flexible in your actions but conforming to your obligations.
At times the government even sets laws that local and county officers must abide by and apply them equally to everyone even though they may not agree with them. I do believe that the government and law enforcement on all levels give a hand to one another. We could not have one without the other as each plays a role in our systems; there are things that the government could not be a part of and the world would run just a smoothly. I believe every system needs rules and boundaries so there is no overlapping going
There is no reason that exceeds the weight of the society’s obligation to obey the law. Therefore, we all have a moral obligation to abide by set laws. If the society allows the moral duty to follow legal rules to be overridden by other factors, there would be increased cases of disregard of the general law. Each and every law established by a given society has a valid justification. As a result, every law has a moral basis upon which people should reflect on.
Interest Groups as defined by SprakNotes (2010) are “organization’s of people who share a common interest and work together to protect and promote that interest by influencing the government”. They also vary greatly in size, aims and tactics but generally have either Economic or Noneconomic goals. This aside they both share the same core ideas and reasons for their existence and these are to make sure the “government remains responsive to the communities in which they serve” (Acker, V. Et al 2013). In knowing this, the purpose of this essay is to critically analyze the affects Interest Groups have on the society in which they operate and brings to attention the main positive and negative roles caused through their application such as the theory of Pluralism and its flaws, Hyperpluralism, and other roles in which they benefit or disadvantage society in general. This essay will argue that there is no one side when looking at the effects of interest groups and that the society in which they operate will continually feel both the positive and negative results of their activities.
