“The American flag is a cherished symbol of our national aspirations. It is the closest object to a national icon, rivaled only by the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence… what is the harm in insisting a modicum of respect for it” (Allen 18). Allen feels that the flag is a very important symbol to the nation and thinks that everybody should show respect towards it. The tone used to describe his reasoning is very fierce, as Allen points out the wrongs in the decision. Even though Allen thinks that the Supreme Court wasn’t wrong in their decision, his opinion is very strong, as he suggests how people should treat the flag with respect because of its importance.
One of the features the Crime Control Model considers to be most important is the prevention of crime. While this model proclaims it is permissible to make mistakes in the entire criminal justice system, it assumes guilt by fact and the person is guilt unless proven innocent.

The author of this article makes a very strong argument about how, when somebody dies due to an alcohol related incident, we should not be putting the blame on who served the alcohol, but blame the victim. They are victims, yes. But they are victims of their own decisions. LZ Granderson makes valid points in his article, and uses strong rhetoric to make his article not only persuasive, but also informative.

By determining the facts of these cases, and making recommendations regarding criminal prosecution, I hope to further the cause of justice and fairness by helping to apprehend those responsible for the fraud, and protecting the innocent from increased premiums, and other hassles associated with fraud. This, in turn, will help everyone, because insurance costs across the board go up when the insurance companies take losses related to

The Constitution provides that individuals have the right to an attorney, right against unreasonable searches and seizures, the right against self-incrimination, and the right to due process of law. The Constitutional amendments that apply to the situation present are the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth.

if the defendant had an honest belief). In the case of DPP v Harper [1997] 1 WLR 1406 the court held that insanity was not a defence as it requires mens rea and as a strict liability crime is not valid. Most traffic offences are strict liability, i.e. speeding, where a ticket is issued regardless of whether or not you thought you were within the speed limit. Cases of Statuary Rape also hold the defendant strictly liable even if the defendant believed the victim to be of the age of consent, for example the case R. v G [2008] UKHL 37 where the appellant held that the complainant had told him she was 15.
