.... Judges do not need the popularity of the people on the Federal circuit court level to make new precedent. Despite significant opposition, largely from conservatives and religious groups, same-sex marriages may soon become commonplace. The harm in this situation is that the idea of discrimination becomes “OK.” Although eight states presently prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation, nowhere in the United States are lesbians and gay marriages legally recognized. Many defend the discrimination against homosexuals with the rationale that marriage is traditionally a u .....

.... of this. All the laws are not about preventing crime. Law abiding citizens who are armed will prevent crime. You can hire all the police you want. They do not stop crime while it is happening. Armed citizens can stop the crime before it ever even happens. How many times have you read about someone walking into a public place and opening fire? Sometimes the person even stops and reloads. What would you do if you were there? Hide and wait to be shot? Or would you hope that someone else is armed? After all, one-armed citizen could stop the shooting! Criminals don't wait for you .....

.... the creditability of the police department. CAUSE AND TIME OF DEATH When the officers first arrived the scene, they saw two people lying in a pool of blood. The officers did not know if they were dead and if they were, how and when. After the medical examiner looked at the bodies and the wounds on the victims, he concluded that they were stabbed to death. The time of death was a bit harder to determine. Death caused some changes to the bodies. The investigator looked at the changes and was able to estimate a time of death. Some of the changes the examiners look for are: .....

.... will it produce actual hallucinations. More potent preparations of cannabis such as hashish can induce psychedelic experiences identical to those observed after ingestion of potent hallucinogens such as LSD. Some who smoke marijuana feel no effects; others feel relaxed and sociable, tend to laugh a great deal, and have a profound loss of the sense of time. Characteristically, those under the influence of marijuana show incoordination and impaired ability to perform skilled acts. Still others experience a wide range of emotions including feelings of perception, fear, in .....

.... controversial there are many different arguments and opinions feel the most basic way to divide the way society feels about conjugal visits is in three subsets which stem from legal theories. The first is the justice view. The second is the rehabilitative view. The final is a combination of the first two views called the integrated view. All of these perspectives contain very different thoughts about conjugal visits to prisoners. Before I discuss each one, there are certain statistics about forced sexual encounters in prison settings to keep in mind. According to “ An anonym .....

.... is only admissible in evidence where special conditions are satisfied. These conditions are set out in detail in section 69 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE) 1984 (see further Nyssens 1993, Reed 1993 and Tapper 1993). In general the principles of admissibility are that the evidence must be relevant to the proof of a fact in issue, to the credibility of a witness or to the reliability of other evidence, and the evidence must not be inadmissible by virtue of some particular rule of law (Keane 1994, pp 15-20; Tapper 1990, pp 51- 61). Real evidence usually take .....

.... government spends at least $10 billion a year on drug enforcement programs and spends many billions more on drug-related crimes and punishment. The estimated cost to the United States for the "War on Drugs" is $200 billion a year or an outstanding $770 per person per year, and that figure does not include the money spent by state and local government in this "war" (Evans and Berent, eds. xvii). The second cost of this "war" is something economists call opportunity costs. Here, we have two limited resources: prison cells and law enforcement. When more drug crimes take up .....

.... plans with the Young Offenders Act: "We must send a signal today to all Canadians that there is going to be a new youth justice regime in place." The Juvenile Delinquent's Act was the predecessor of the Young Offenders Act. It was adopted in 1908 by the federal government. Its purpose was to change the old system of trying children as adults and holding them over for as long as the crown wanted to. They then decided to treat the children as "misguided" ones, instead of criminals. Although good intentions were meant in the act, there were extremely few guidelines and the k .....
