Offences under this Act overwhelmingly involve the general public, and even when the same drug and a similar offence are involved, penalties are far tougher. Drugs subject to this Act are known as 'controlled' drugs. The law defines a series of offences, including unlawful supply, intent to supply, import or export (all these are collectively known as 'trafficking' offences), and unlawful production. The main difference from the Medicines Act is that the Misuse of Drugs Act also prohibits unlawful possession. To enforce this law the police have the special powers to stop, detain and search people on 'reasonable suspicion' that they are in possession of a controlled drug.
Abstract The rate of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in sexual assault survivors is even higher than what is reported in combat situations . Increased knowledge of the difficulties associated with rape trauma in biological, psychological and sociological areas may help to develop more effective treatments for survivors. Pharmacotherapies are available to treat PTSD, however, they are often inadequate or unwanted by the survivor. Mental health is often compromised following sexual trauma and many psychological therapies are available, but with varying results. A person's thought patterns have a dramatic effect on the onset, severity, and progress of PTSD following sexual assault.
The issue of sex offenders is one of the most complexes to be found within the law enforcement community. Very few criminal demographics evoke the same amount of rage and disgust as sex offenders, and that fact combined with their traditionally sky high recidivism rate puts sex offenders in a criminal category all their own. It is clear that sex offenders need to be dealt with in a way that is very different from other forms of criminals. Some authorities have even publicly voiced the idea of sterilizing sex offenders. With radical ideas such as this floating around and even gaining traction, it is clear that more research needs to be done regarding sex offenders specifically to figure out a way to limit the crime as much
Domestic Violence, or spousal abuse, is one of the most appalling crimes in the criminal justice system. Domestic violence involves the abuse of an intimate partner through means of physical, verbal, emotional, or sexual aggression. When most people think of domestic violence, the most frequent thought is the husband, or boyfriend, battering their defenseless female partner. What people fail to realize is that domestic violence does not happen strictly between heterosexual couples, same sex couples can become victims of battering as well. They can suffer much more than heterosexual victims.
Not saying that they do not deserve time in jail, but how does smuggling a “plant” into the United States serve more time than forced sexual intercourse, which most of the time involves beating or severe harm to a person. Rape? It is any act of sexual intercourse that is forced upon a person. In addition, it is the crime that I
In the essay “Against the Legalization of Drugs,” James Q. Wilson writes: “Women are much more likely to use crack than heroin, and if they are pregnant, the effects on their babies are tragic.”….”Cocaine harms the fetus and can lead to physical deformities or neurological damage. Some crack babies have for all practical purposes suffered a disabling stroke while still in the womb,” (645). If that the case, its common sense that this is one of the many reasons why we should not legalized drugs. We would be harming every newborn at a really young age and eventually as they get older they will be drug addicts as well. The use of drugs such as cocaine, crack, heroin and marijuana has been proved to cause unbelievable damage and harm to the body and brain.
Child molesters, rapists and sex offenders, who are they, how they operate and how can we protect ourselves and our children.Final Project.Moises Sandoval.Instructor: Miranda Saake.College Composition II.Bachelors in Science in Legal Studies. | Thesis Statement. Because the rate of recidivism for sex offenders is so high, and because of the devastation this particular form of violent crime has on its victims, the penalties for even first time offenders should be dramatically increased in the interest of public safety. Origins of the problem of sex offenders. Most people think the sex offender registries were only recently established.
Criminal Legislation Public Order Crimes (Rape) According to Criminal Find Law (2011), the crime of rape (or "first-degree sexual assault" in some states) generally refers to non-consensual sexual intercourse that is committed by physical force, threat of injury, or other duress. A lack of consent can include the victim's inability to say "no" to intercourse, due to the effects of drugs or alcohol. Rape can occur when the offender and victim have a pre-existing relationship (sometimes called "date rape"), or even when the offender is the victim's spouse. Under the Penal Code of California Section 261 -269, (2005), there were things that could be modified due to the fact if someone wanted to just lie on you they could have the
