Contemporary Issues             Contemporary issues is an idea or event that is important or relevant currently. Teenagers in the current era face problems in their day to day life at a time in their life when they are experiencing internal as well as external struggles. Since they go through a lot and are expected to cope with them such as hormonal changes or parental and social forces, they end up feeling overwhelmed. Some of the typical contemporary issues faced by teenagers include; cyber addiction, depression, completion and peer-pressure, bullying, and last but not least, drug and substance addiction. This paper aims to research on the contemporary issues facing teenagers, its effects on adolescent behavior, external stressors associated with the problem and provide support options for the question presented. Drug and substance abuse, for instance, is when teenagers decide to take illegal drugs or legal drugs but not prescribed by a physician leading to a continuous habit of taking the pills. Studies have proven drug abuse to be among the causes of severe health conditions, and some of the cons towards…

Biological positivism Biological positivism is one of the theories that has been used to explain the origin of crime. Crime is when an individual goes against the rules and the laws that have been agreed upon by a community of a nation. In trying to look into the reason why people commit a crime, the environment is a trigger, according to the theory (Dr. Kris 2020). There is an environmental factor that might trigger an individual to commit a crime even though the criminals make the decision to commit a crime. Environmental factors might be involved in provoking or restraining a particular behavior. They, however, do not cause the commission of the crime. According to Cesare Lombroso, ‘The Criminal Man,’ there are criminal behaviors that are motivated by an individual’s mental and emotional state. The individuals with emotional imbalance might be motivated to commit a crime by things in the environment, such as religion or certain occurrences. The theory suggests that people do not just wake up one day and decide to commit a crime or become criminals. There are…

Criminal Evidence   Presentation of criminal rules before a court of law follows the rules such as relevance, weighty, and sufficiency. Evidence should be linked to the case either directly or can be directive. It should also hold weight and can be used to guide the jury in making decisions. There are seven reasons for having rules of evidence, which include equality, values, fairness, efficiency, quality, emotions, and improper conduct. The three reasons I find most important are fairness, quality, and improper conduct. The rules governing presentation evidence should ensure that evidence presented promotes fairness when passing a decision. In my opinion, presenting evidence in a court of law allows the jury to make a fair and just decision ensuring that the innocent and set free and the guilty are sentenced. Therefore, evidence that will not heed to this policy should not be considered evidence. Another reason for having rules of evidence is quality. Evidence presented in court should be substantial enough to settle a case. Any verdict passed should be on high quality evidence. In my opinion, a case…

Reaction to the article by Wilson and Kelling (Broken Windows)             After critically reading the article, I have a strong feeling that it is very informative, not forgetting being educative. For instance, the piece is professionally written. Indeed, the authors of the article are very conversant with the issue of police and public safety. Notably, Wilson and Kelling stipulate well-thought arguments that are supported by evidence. Findings of intensive research studies also support the provisions of this particular article. I feel that the suggestions provided in the article should be implemented in the police department to increase safety. Firstly, I agree with Wilson and Kelling that foot patrol significantly reduces the overall mobility of security officers (Wilson & Kelling 1982). It is indeed difficult for officers in the foot patrols to respond swiftly to security alarms and emergencies. A large number of security guards indeed dislike foot patrols following the numerous hardships associated with it. Secondly, I agree with the two authors that there exists a solid relationship between disorder and crime in society. For instance, disorder and crime have…

Decision making using system modeling A closer analysis of chapter 5 shows that the author highlights an open-source software tool, EMA workbench, that has the capability of undertaking EMA and ESDMA modeling. The EMA workbench can be instrumental in creating a model that can serve a great deal in developing a policy for a smart city arrangement. One of the policy areas where EMA can be instrumental is in regard to traffic light placement. In this case, the workbench can be used to help in the execution of movement lights, especially in the face of crisis, and this will be enabled by smart data science technology system. In this case, an android gadget with speaking capabilities can be incorporated with the movement lights. The integration of speaking capabilities in the movement lights will help in reducing reaction time in the face of crises. Apart from traffic light placement, EMA can also be used in surveillance camera coverage. Such kind of innovation will have the capacity to gather information and, at the same time, disseminate such in real-time. The use of…

advantages that are available for the students who graduate with a bachelor’s degree in business The notion that if a person graduates with a bachelor’s degree is a loss and that one will tarmac for many years in search of a job is a lie. I tend to disagree with such claims. Many students who had an interest in pursuing their degree in the line of business have changed their minds and gotten into other different careers because of false claims that they have heard connected to the business field. People think that many workers have flooded the business environments leaving no space for more jobs. This essay will discredit these claims and reveal the many advantages that are available for the students who graduate with a bachelor’s degree in business. Firstly, the students that have graduated in the business sector have a more significant advantage than those who do not have the skills. This is to say, and if one has graduated, then there will be less competition in the job sector. Therefore, the claim that a person will…

Judicial Review and the Preliminary Ruling Procedure Access to justice is quite significant for every individual, and it goes beyond the right to an effective remedy throughout the entire process. It is, therefore, significant to ensure that everyone can access effective mechanisms that allow them to get justice. There are two crucial PRP (Art. 267 TFEU) and JR (Art. 263 TFEU) that help in ascertaining whether the system of judicial protection for third parties in the EU is valid or not. Some of the issues of accessibility in PRP are those in Art. 267 (TFEU) that promote a cooperative relationship between CJEU and national courts, the reference-based procedure which does not support an appeal system. This piece of writing critically evaluates whether the mechanisms for accessing justice under EU law are effective for third parties and provide recommendations for reforms or opportunities missed. Two vital articles are useful in this piece of writing. They are PRP (Art. 267 TFEU) and JR (Art. 263 TFEU). As per Article 267 (TFEU), the Court of Justice of the European shall have the power…

Comparison of the corrections and sentencing practices of the United States, Germany, and the Netherlands Introduction All around the world, most Judicial systems face tough questions on the importance of incarceration in criminal Justice systems. Throughout history, the correction system is always seen to be the ultimate way of tackling criminals. However, this purpose has transformed with time. Prisons have been used as an area for detaining criminal suspects, a place for the stray citizens, an institution for keeping the mentally ill and an institution for rehabilitation of citizens. The challenges and transformations that have occurred in the course of history have shaped and developed the correctional systems that we have today. Recent statistics put the United States as the country with the most significant number of prisoners per 100,000 of the national population. The figure stands at 716 prisoners per 100,000 of the national population (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2019). When these figures are compared to European rates, the results are shocking with 79 prisoners per 100,000 of the national population in Germany and 82 prisoners per 100,000 of…
