These services are provided for active duty military, retirees, and their families. The Advocate’s job is to inform victims of their rights and options within the military and civilian community.

Basically, the Advocate runs interference with service providers, agencies, and commands on behalf of the victim to increase awareness and support.
We must be sure that finding those answers are done ethically from the crime scene to trial. The Investigator Ethical Considerations From the moment the investigator gets a case professionalism, knowledge of laws and procedure is what has to be followed. If at any time the investigator became biased and used emotion instead of just facts of the case could be compromised. Remaining unbiased in either homicide or rape can be extremely difficult for even the most ethical investigators. Handling evidence properly is one of the most crucial points of any investigation.
These studies are accredited by government agencies or university grants and are conducted by professionals in the field. Throughout this research, I aimed to answer the question on; how does divorce affect the psychological well-being of children and at what point.

Essay 4: Please describe your research experience and interests. As someone who embraces the scientist-practitioner model, my clinical interests and research interests correspond. I have sought clinical training and a degree specialty in forensic psychology, with my research falling into the same realm. My research while in graduate school has revolved around child custody evaluations with gay and lesbian parents. More specifically, my thesis explored considerations child custody evaluators take into account when they are conducting evaluations involving a gay or lesbian parent separating from a heterosexual partner.
Today, there is a culture of divorce on demand despite the strict substantive provisions of the the MCA 1973. The Morton Commission wanted to avoid this by only allowing petitions for divorce from innocent petitioners who had matrimonial offences “committed against them” during their marriage by guilty respondents. The fault-based approach advocated by the Commission has not been totally removed from the current law. The MCA has been described as a mixed-economy because it contains a mixture of fault-based and non-fault based facts for the petitioner to demonstrate the irretrievable breakdown of a marriage. It is questionable whether fault, a matter more naturally suited to the criminal law is appropriate for such an important area of family law.
Louis CK – O&A 26 On whether or not this divorce is gonna be messy No, I don’t think so. Because we’re doing it together, if you get divorced with kids you should do it with a mediator. If you get two lawyers, they want you to fight to the maximum. Otherwise there’s nothing really in it for them if the divorce gets settled quickly; they want to draw it out. It’s the worst possible way because when you have kids and you get divorced, you’re still combined as a family.

The exclusionary rule is a remedy that was actually created by the judiciary and is not part of the Constitution, so therefore it can be changed. It needs to be abolished and reexamined by Congress. This rule is crazy. It protects the guilty rather than the victims.
Thomas mentions that gay and lesbian marriages should be the choice of the individuals not the government. He promotes gay and lesbian marriages by saying those who vote against gay and lesbian marriage are people of injustice. He states that we cannot solely base our decision on history alone, if so most states would still prohibit the marriage of different races. Thomas states that marriage should promote family and stability and people should not be denied this right. By depriving millions of gay American adults the rights that come from marriage, denies equal protection against the law.
Probation may have been a good idea when it was first went into effect but, I do not feel that probation is structured and does not work for the most part. I feel probation is controlled by politics. I think probation is given to reduce the problem of overcrowding. I also feel that when there is not enough evidence but the judge has to reprimand to look good in the eyes of society that probation is offered. In the future, I feel probation programs should be changed and only offered to first time offenders or crimes that are considered low on the poll.
The Act was ruled unconstitutional because it requires federal estate tax to be paid by folks in same-sex marriages. Currently if the spouse in an opposite-sex marriage dies, no federal estate tax needs to be paid. The court also stated that the Act discriminates based on sexual orientation and violates equal protection under the Constitution. Republicans are contesting a ruling by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which ruled the Defense of Marriage Act discriminates based on the denial of health benefits to same-sex spouses. In defense of the Defense of Marriage Act, Republicans claim the goals are to “maintain consistency in allocating federal benefits and encourage relationships “that most frequently result in the begetting and raising of children.”” NYTIMES.
