Criminal Child Abuse and Neglect Law Introduction Background to the Problem Many psychologists and criminologists have linked child abuse, in its various forms, to adverse psychological and behavioral changes. These changes are strongly correlated with the development of criminal behavior, especially if abuse is consistent and long-lived (Connolly & Woollons, 2008). The forms of child abuse most commonly linked with this unfortunate development include physical abuse, sexual abuse, and general neglect. The general consensus among scholars and researchers is that children who are exposed to various forms of abuse such as sexual abuse, physical abuse, and general neglect, or those exposed consistently to these factors develop behavioral factors that reinforce precursors to criminal behavior such as reliance on violence to solve personal and social issues. The victims not only learn to depend on these precursors to criminal behavior, they reinforce them in their own behavior as well as those around them. Significance Scholars have long desired to understand what effect child abuse has on their future lives. A fact of life is that the manner in which younger children are…
Communication in business Introduction Communication refers to the act of relaying or exchanging information from one person or group to another by the use of a mutually understood medium. Communication can be through speaking, writing, signs, and symbols and a medium such as a telephone, television, and radio. Management is the process of organizing and controlling people or things within an organization to achieve specific goals. Communication in business is very vital because achieving goals is dependent on how one uses the information they have to plan on the best course of action that is to be taken. Employee engagement A lot of work in terms of research has been done about employee engagement, and business scholars agree that employee engagement is not a stand-alone subject because it is drawn from psychology and organizational behavior. There are multiple ways in which employee engagement can be looked at. The forms include; behavior, cognition, and effectiveness. According to Kahn (1990), personal engagement refers to “the harnessing of organization members’ selves to their work roles; in engagement, people employ and express themselves physically,…
Criminal Justice Reforms Criminal justice in the United States of America experienced reformed during the ruin of President Barrack Obama. President Obama assumed power when the United States had a severe crisis of increasing the number of inmates in federal prisons and rehabilitation facilities. In his law review on criminal justice, Obama put it clear that the senior officials in the executive should use their designated roles and power to influence reforms in the criminal justice and ensure the systems are effective. In his stay in office as the president of the United States, improvements in the criminal justices were his main focus, something he had admired to performed even during his time in the university. His desire was triggered by numerous inequalities that he had witnessed in the criminal justice facilities. His mission of reforms started when he was a legislator in Illinois, where he collaborated with leaders and law enforcers to agitate for reduced sentences, police interrogation in front of a camera and legislation against racial profiling. Through is, the entire time of leadership used an array of…
Defence of Insanity in Criminal Law The understanding of insanity as a defence in the criminal law cases has raised a lot of questions on the responsibility of the insane. Therefore, the critical issue is responsibility and the fact of insanity. The defense of insanity refers to justification in criminal case, disputing that the defendant is not liable because of a mental illness when committing the offence. According to English law, offenders who were insane were taken care or from as early as period of Theodoric Archbishop of Canterbury (668-690 AD) [1]when he said, ‘it is lawful to say mass to an insane person who had killed himself during his madness, but for case of suicide it’s not.’ The case that has been used for reference today is that of James Hadfield. The defendant was accused of attempt assassination of George III; however, the jury came to a ruling of not guilty because of insanity (Criminal Lunatics Act 1800). A similar case that ensued thereafter was the M’Naghten case, an attempt assassination of the United Kingdom Prime minister Robert Peel.…
The type of speech that I observed was a sermon in the church The type of speech that I observed was a sermon in the church when the priest was addressing the congregation. A sermon can be defined as a preacher’s speech or presentation (which is typically a congregation leader). Sermons discuss a biblical, doctrinal, or moral subject that usually addresses a form of belief, jurisprudence, or actions in both ancient and modern circumstances. Sermon components also include exposure, warning, and hands-on applicability. The practice of offering a service is considered preaching. A preaching session does have a significance which is missing in daily conversation. The power is derived from the Bible section on which it is being proclaimed. Preaching with some examples from the Bible shouldn’t be an inspirational speech. The person who was giving the sermon was a preacher, and he was ministering to the congregation in a church. The preacher was explaining some scripture and reading to the followers in the ministry where he is working. The sermon was happening in a church setting. The sermon which…
Introduction to Hispanic Culture Why I am a cultural being According to Brook Peterson, Culture refers to what is both socially and morally acceptable in a given community. It contains the dislike or disgust for a particular moral behavior which is attached to aesthetics of the community (Brooks Peterson, 2014). Each human is termed as a cultural being simply because they are attached to a certain belief which either in one way or the other, dictates on the mode of operation. For instance, each one of us has a common language which we use to converse with our people on daily basis. Consequently, we are brought up by being introduced to different kinds of foods which are unique, only for our community. Also, we have different religious beliefs and practices which differ from one community to the other. Travelling from one community to another may be difficult to someone, unless is well conversant with the culture of the new land. Brook Peterson continues to argue that our intelligence is a product of our culture and thus the reason as to…
