A series of mass murders, for example, the Columbine High School mass murder in Colorado in 1999, which left 13 students dead, widely reported and debated in the Medias, help expert gun laws in the past 20 years. Despite Republicans hesitancies, Congress has been working on bills that would extend the probation period, prior the purchase of guns, that would better control sales to minors and would reduce speedy sales. The debate is still raging on, between defenders of gun control and protectors of individual freedom. The Government

Starting in 1990, Congress acted to ensure that institutions of higher edu cation have strategies to prevent and respond to sexual assault on cam pus and to provide students and their parents accurate information about campus crime. The major Federal laws pertaining to this study are: Student RighttoKnow and Campus Security Act of 1990 (the “Clery Act”*) (20 U.S.C.
As the terminology suggests, it represents an attempt to keep those with sexual abuse propensities from having easy access to potential victims; in other words, to corral them for the purposes of control and security. Containment programs exist full-bore in such States as Colorado, Pennsylvania, and California. Other States are looking at or organizing their own versions of such programs. One authority on containment models for sexual offenders is Jeremy Travis of the National Institute of Justice. He lays out the general concept thusly: The model process seeks to contain offenders in a triangle of supervision: treatment to teach sex offenders to develop internal control over deviant thoughts; supervision and surveillance to control offenders' external behaviors; and polygraph examinations to help design, and to monitor conformance to, treatment plans and supervision conditions (Travis, 1997).
Examining Government Regulations National Institute of Justice Records there are roughly 11.3 million women and children whom are victims of domestic violence each year in the United States. The United States government and state legislatives have placed laws and regulations to help protect the innocent and punish those who violate these laws. Restraining orders in most cases are injected to protect the victims of violence. The federal government and U.S. Territories have combined other provisions into this order to protect the victims from cyber stalking, and staking.
The Crime and Disorder Legislation was created on 2nd December 1997 but received Royal Assent in July 1998. The key areas of the Crime and Disorder Legislation is the introduction of Anti-Social Behaviour Orders, Sex Offender Orders, granting local authorities more powers/responsibilities to reduce crime and disorder, Parenting Orders and the introduction to laws regarding ‘racially aggravated’ offences. This act abolished the fact that a person between ten and fourteen years old can commit an offence. The Legislation also abolished the death penalty if you committed treason or piracy.

Running Head:Policy Recommendation Proposal Policy Recommendation Proposal Courtney Dawson CJA/314 December 4 2013 Latasha Stokes Bills are pasted ever day and every year in congress. In order for these bills to be past members from legislation have to all vote to veto or deny the bill so they can then decide to put the approved bill in the new laws. Being though I’m a criminologist advisor, I was picked to provide the state legislation with my opinion on whether a bill should be pasted that will determine if any person is convicted of armed robbery they will be given the maximum double sentence term to serve. I will do my best as criminologist advisor and do the research so I can give recommendations I believe is needed. When
The act is ordered to develop and implement the strategies in three year cycles, such as, 1999-2002, 2002-2005, so the next one will be this year in 2008. This act created 376 local crime and disorder reduction partnerships in England and Wales. The crime and disorder act is what put an end to the presumption that a child under the age of 10 is incapable of committing an offence. Furthermore, it abolished the death penalty, changing it to a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. I am going to analyse the implications of two pieces of crime and disorder legislation.
8 Editor’s Commentary A regressive step: Incarcerating adolescents with adults By Gregory K. Fritz, MD. hode Island has finally joined the movement already embraced by many states to incarcerate teenagers in our adult prison. Several months ago, in what was clearly defined as a costs-saving measure the face of a tight budget, the state legislature voted to move 17-year-olds from the Rhode Island Training School to the adult prison. Nationally, this trend began in the 1980’s as a way to “get tough on juvenile crime” in response to rising crime rates. Since 1992 most states have enacted policies that make it easier to prosecute and incarcerate teenagers in the adult criminal justice system, thus reversing the pattern of the previous 100
