The Impact of Reverse Racism Reverse racism is also known as reverse discrimination. Reverse discrimination is defined as laws and policies which deny certain opportunities, jobs, employment, contracts, and educational admissions to “whites” in favor of other, government-defined “disadvantaged” racial groups. Sometimes these policies and laws are collectively, if historically inaccurately, referred to as “Affirmative Action” (www.adversity.net). Racial discrimination in any way is not acceptable. The government has created a form of discrimination to combat previous discrimination; this is not even a levelheaded thought, programs and or laws supporting it such as Affirmative Action are immoral and should be abolished.
There is no exact science to profiling and some people still do not believe a profile cane be very effective at all (O'Connor). Criminal profiling according to FBI reports in 1992 had a seventeen percent (17%) effectiveness (O'Connor). A lot of error with criminal profiling comes from stereotyping center groups. For instance the common misconception that all African American people steal, this is not a fact; has never been proven; and is a stereotype based on a few not the entire group. If a profiler was hired to make a profile of a thief and believes in stereotyping they could say the thief was African American but could be completely wrong because again, not all African Americans
Typically there is not amends of any kind made to the person or the community that has been affected by the hoax; not even a simple apology. Russell-Brown goes on to suggest that there should be a racial hoax law exclusively when the victim of the hoax is black. There has been proposed legislation in New Jersey to make these racial hoaxes a crime regardless of what races starts the hoax. This legislations seeks to make a racial hoax a crime punishable with prison time as well as fines. Although it has been hard to make racial hoaxes a hate- crime it is still possible to make them a crime.
Federal laws do not dictate the laws on stalking; state governments regulate and define them. The state of New Mexico has their own dictation which is similar to those of other states, but is in their own words. Stalking charges can range from a misdemeanor to a felony and can only get worse if the pursuant continues. New Mexico defines stalking as follows. The stalker knowingly pursuing a pattern of conduct that would cause reasonable person to be frightened, intimidated, or threatened.
In the U.S. constitution the 5th amendment protects citizens from the abuse of government employees. The 14th amendment prohibits state and local governments from depriving any person’s life, liberty, or property without taking the proper and certain steps to ensure fairness to that individual.

Introduction: In this essay I will be analyzing the arguments that surround the topic of whether the act of decriminalizing victimless crimes can be justified. To begin with, victimless crimes is a term that designates activities that have been outlawed but do not directly violate or threaten the rights of any other individual. [1] This crimes tend to be those that are consensual or solitary acts in which no other person is involved. Although these crimes may not have a direct effect on people themselves, research has shown it can indirectly affect other parties. In order to succesfully complete the task I have set, I will firstly consider how Hong Kong has dealt with victimless crimes recently and what are the crimes that we consider to be
Not only did this study state that the weapons banned were only used in a small percent of crimes even before the ban, but also "found no statistical evidence of post-ban decreases in either the number of victims per gun-homicide incident, the number of gunshot wounds per victim, or the proportion of gunshot victims with multiple wounds. "(Koper, Roth 67) So even if Congress bans these vaguely named assault weapons it will most likely be as ineffective as the last time they did so. Some take issue with the ban not because of its’ functionality problems, but because they feel it violates their rights as
Democrats in no way wish to undermine the right to the second amendment but do wish to establish strong laws to who can and cannot bear a gun for example restricting guns to be issued in the hands of previous criminals, stalkers, person going under mental services, background checks for gun sales, etc. not that someone doing right in society isn’t capable of doing such harm but that crime may be lessen in society this way the right is not taken away but
The legislation made it unlawful for an employer to refuse to hire or discharge any person due to his race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Title VII of the act created the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to implement the law. Today, I feel as though people still discriminate on both sides of employment opportunities. Many women are paid less than men who do the same exact work. Even though there is a law preventing this, it still happens.
Employment law: Addressing Issues Employment law has protected almost every person at one point or another in his or her life. It protects in the workplace by holding employers to standards and treatment that they must give their employees. In addition it also lays out what an employee is supposed to do and his or her rights in that title. Over the years, employment law has undergone changes to fit the times and standards that society has held it to. There are many situations these laws apply to for example women being in the military and the enaction of the pregnancy discrimination act and the medical and family leave act.
