* * * * * Research Process and Terminology * ME * CJA/334 * March 5, 2014 * Dennis Dougan * Research Process and Terminology * How will this new terminology and knowledge apply to a career in criminal justice? Essentially, understanding the terminology that is associated with a specific career path is important because of the use it gets in the line of work. In criminal justice and other social science careers, the terminology carries over and without understanding it completely, terminology can hinder research capabilities as well as understanding previous research materials. Although different criminal justice careers have their own terminology based on their line of work, the research terminology is nearly universal. How can not knowing the proper terminology affect you as you conduct criminal justice research?
They could have explained to the managers that immediate termination is not the proper form of discipline for the offenses mentioned. They would have also told them that all employees involved would have to have the same disciplinary action taken to show that they are not being bias to some employees and not others. By law, generally, we go by legislation, statutes, and regulations made by states and by the federal government on multiple subjects for the good of the public and public welfare. “Laws do not, and are not intended to, incorporate ethical principles or values, but sometimes ethical standards will be reflected in laws.” (The Importance of Ethics in Criminal Justice. ( n.d. ) p. 12).
This can also be judged not constitutional under the condition of the antitrust violation that simply a company in the State of Confusion will be able to construct this product. Given that the businesses are the only ones that can build this certain type of hitch the company becomes in control. So it doesn't open restrictions for rivalry among several kinds of companies. From that we can say that this statute is unconstitutional and hurts the liberty of interstate commerce. Tanya Trucker’s suit may have the chance to prevail in the court.
Oklahoma’s Department of Public Safety was ordered by legislation to begin the process on November 1, 2007. [See top section of p.20] This is one practice that while well-intentioned could have what could have unintended consequences. Under our system of juris prudence, while there are consequences for violations of the law, once a sentence has been served the convicted person should not be further punished. It may be just a matter of degree, but I foresee serious bodily harm, up to and including death, being perpetrated on sex offenders having to show their identification in some situations. We do not officially sanction the use of beating & torture or execution for sex crimes.
For example, should judges embrace “mind reading” and issue orders based on mere fMRIs? Intentionally crude and tendentious, this sentence was meant to demonstrate that focusing too narrowly on such cases can impoverish our understanding of how science can interact with law. To avoid this fate, we should systematically investigate four separate quadrants, produced by intersecting two conceptual axes based on “specificity” and “time.” Axis of Specificity. Making new law or applying existing law both require some understanding of the “facts”—either the factual contours of a problem to be solved or the factual particularities necessary to apply general legal principles to a specific case. But as legal scholars have noted, facts can be specific or general (e.g., Faigman, 2008).
When I am looking at my options for a shadowing mentor, there are several things that I need to consider: What type of law will I practice? Where do the best attorneys of this particular discipline practice? Who do I need to contact to speak with these professionals and networking will I need to do to rub elbows with these professionals? What personality types should I seek to best work with my personality?
That is only my opinion though, and I will go ahead and try to include some fact in this paper instead of just throwing in my opinion all the time, Key word being try, but I should be able to make it happen. Here are a couple of examples of what tort reform will include, Tort reform will make it more difficult for injured parties to file a lawsuit, make it more difficult for injured parties to get a jury trial, and most important it will put a cap on the amount of money that can be awarded to an injured individual. Now I am currently involved in a wrongful death case myself, and this issue is kind of personal
The conclusion of the Martinson report stated that the rehabilitation programs did not work. Later in 1978, Martinson published another detailed report that retracted his own previous report that had critique the rehabilitation centers. Martinson’s words were that it was time to avoid what he considered to be “methodological narcissism.” This term is defined as: substance can often be overlooked in the name of method. Methodology or method is a collection of facts and data depending on the nature of the crime and the criminal justice policy with the theory type research it’s a matter of why and methodology is more of what is type research. Theory and method should be means to an end, and having criminal knowledge is the end.
This paper will then end with the current state of the insanity defense and conclusions of this research. History of the Insanity Defense Pre-McNaughton Today, the insanity defense is an affirmative defense, this means the defendant must raise the argument that they are insane, and if they were found insane, it would negate the elements of a crime. The burden of proof is also on the defendant and the defendant must prove the defense of insanity by “clear and convincing evidence”[1] (Garner, 2001). The insanity defense has evolved over centuries. People have always believed that it is immoral to punish a person who is not responsible for their criminal behavior, because if a person does not know what they are doing at the time of a crime they should not have to be punished for it.
