Punishment
"Anything goes" is an interesting way to describe the current state of the nation's approach to punishment. Do you feel it is accurate? If yes, why? If not, why not? What other aspects of our nation's current approach to sanctions -- besides those listed and discussed by Blomberg and Lucken -- do you feel bolsters your position?
I do not feel that the "Anything goes" penal strategy is accurate for the nation's approach punishment. It is not a perfect way of ensuring that there is justification especially after punishment. The main aim of punishment in the society is to promote justification, which will then lead to harmony within the people. However, the "anything goes" penal strategy involves the prisoners undergoing any type of punishment as regarded by the states (Blomberg & Lucken, 2010). The option of the punishment does not always involve the input of the citizens and other practitioners. This implies that the inmates would have to incline to the punishment regardless of whether they recognize it or not. I suppose that this strategy would promote hostility rather than promoting harmony because of the harsh ways of dealing with the inmates. The other aspect of approach, which supports my position, is retribution and vengeance justice. Retribution and vengeance involves the weighing of wrongdoing before administering the punishment. Weighing of wrongdoing is significant since it...
should adopt "restorative corrections"? If yes, what would it look like? If not, why not?
The main aim of the restorative justice is to ensure that its subjects are happier and have a good relationship among them. I suppose that presence of restorative justice ensures that there is a better relationship while also helping in functioning of an organization since it involves participation and decision-making among the conflicting individuals. I also think that the reintergrative shaming forms critical part in regulating human behaviors as associated with the restorative justice. The reintergrative shaming ensures that there is better relationship through the view that anything that the interrupts the good state of things always result to shame (Blomberg & Lucken, 2010). Consequently, the presence of restorative justices ensures that individuals are able to yield shame, after any happening, besides their emotions thereby helping to reduce the magnitude of the emotions. The interesting part of the restorative justice is that instead of shame acting as a factor of yielding enmity between people,…

Not all children will respond to positive reinforcement, but sometimes even drastic negative reinforcement such as corporal punishment does not work on these children. In general, however, positive reinforcement is only one way to teach children discipline very quickly and make sure that the lesson remains with them in the future. In the past, it was thought that corporal punishment was the way to do this, and some schools
The very nature of the copyrighted material is also taken into account when determining 'fair use', and the amount of the copyrighted material being used in relation to the entire original work will also be considered.

Government Since gang-related crimes fall within the jurisdiction of state, this research will give an insight on the need to find solutions that increasingly include all levels of government. Congress needs to pass legislation that will change immigration enforcement laws and make more aliens deportable. In addition, the federal government should take a more active participation in helping local and state jurisdictions develop anti-gang responses. The local, state and federal governments
Corporate Compliance Plan: Riordan Manufacturing Our company, Riordan Manufacturing is a global plastics manufacturer employing 550 people with projected annual earnings of $46 million. The company is wholly owned by Riordan Industries, a Fortune 1000 enterprise with revenues in excess of $1 billion. While the introduction of ethics into the curriculum is laudable, it really is not what corporate compliance is about. In a sense compliance is beyond ethics -- not
Therefore, they are compelled to choose what they do in order to instantiate God's foreordainment of history. It wouldn't seem to make sense, therefore, for the person to attempt to change their circumstances or to fight against fate. Affliction, tragedy and evil would be just what God wishes to throw at an individual, who could scarcely escape its occurrence. This seems to suggest a response of futility toward life
Gay Serial Killers Serial killers continue to hold a fascination on the American public. The crimes of this subset of murderers are frequently sexualized in nature, which perhaps adds to the titillation in media coverage. It is worth observing that many of the most widely-publicized serial murder cases of the past fifty years or so have involved gay or lesbian serial killers: Jeffrey Dahmer remains a household name even in 2014,
