Because the student was allowed to be searched by school officials, the reasonableness in this situation did not merit the further search . The reasonableness is that Savana was a good student, never been in trouble, and was blamed by a questionable student. This was enough reason to not investigate further than the initial search.…
CM Gilmore scheduled a visit to meet with Tavarsea Steed at the local DFCS office. Tavarea reported the following: • He played football years ago • On the night of the incident he was very stressed and received a lot of bad news that day back to back. He reported that he did receive a picture of his girlfriend kissing another girl, and that was the last straw. • He reported that he found the black on a street by the house • He reported that he did get on top of the house, and tie the rope around the tree limb, but he wasn’t going to jump.…
It is more than ever important to know how to handle a situation like this. I also feel like it teaches me what is morally the right thing to do when dealing with searches within the school walls. With education as a profession it is important to know how to advocate, and support our students. The case even taught me how to advocate for my students and how to protect them in situations like this. I need to know my students rights in order to protect them from injustice within the school walls.…
In the case study A Matter of Honor, Sheila Allison is an African American Newton High School senior who is popular and athletic. In addition, she is a good student and received a congressional appointment to a national military academy. Soon after she received the news, Sheila is accused of plagiarizing a book review in an honors English class. Regardless of her extenuating circumstance, her teacher Mrs. Durnitz believes Sheila should be responsible for violating the plagiarism policy. The district’s policy is listed in the student handbook and states that students found guilty of plagiarism must receive a failing grade plus repeat the course.…
Everyone in the world reacts to situations differently depending on their mood, personality, and attitude. In some occasions someone can tend to over react for something that may not even be that serious while others may have a clean reaction to the same incident. In reality it is imperative to make sure not to underestimate someone’s mood because it may turn out into a bigger incident. For example, in Holiday, Florida an 8th grader, Domanik Green, was arrested for gaining access to his teacher’s computer and changing the desktop wallpaper to two men kissing. This did not come as a surprise to the school due to the fact that Domanik had been suspended the year before for a similar “prank.”…
Upon hearing the phrase “sexual perversions” there are a variety of definitions that come to each individuals mind. That being said, is there really just one precise definition? If so, who decides that it is the most accurate? Thomas Nagel presented various theories and explanations as to what he believes the definition of a sexual perversion is. To understand a perversion you must first understand sexual attraction.…

The Australian criminal justice system often responds to serious crimes with harsh, punitive policies . This is despite growing evidence to support the effectiveness of alternative approaches. This is particularly evident in the controversy surrounding sexual offenders and their treatment (Macgregor 2008). Despite controversy surrounding its effectiveness and punitive benefits, cognitive behavioural therapy in the treatment of sexual offenders has had proven results. Although these results are limited by the approaches grounding in social learning theory (Ward et al. 2006:156).…
In 1992 Peter Neufeld and Barry Scheck founded the Innocence Project at Cardozo School of Law. The Innocence Project exonerates the wrongfully convicted with the use of DNA testing and reforms the criminal justice system to prevent injustice in the future. In the film, “After Innocence” Nick Yarris was wrongfully imprisoned for rape and murder. Luckily, the Innocence Project was capable of assisting Yarris and hundreds of others just like him who were wrongfully accused of false convictions.…

The idea of “The Innocence Project” being the most helpful topic to research for a better understanding of the theme of “justice” is widely debated. Before we even get started, what does justice really mean? “Justice is the power as appointed by law, honor, or standards, to support fair treatment and due reward” (yourdictionary.com). With that in mind, The Innocence Project is a very important resource to look into because it concerns the key elements of the meaning of justice. The program is dedicated to giving people the fair treatment and due reward they deserve.…

It is okay to pay for sex, for the simple fact that two consenting people are in an agreement. Someone is providing a service for money, and that is acceptable even though it is using sex as a transaction. People bodily autonomy, and can choose what do with it. To police someone else’s body is taking away their right to what they may with it. If the individual selling sex is consenting, of age and in a safe environment, there is no issue in the selling of sex.…
C1. In this case, though no particular motives are given for the anonymous students to be bullying Larry, there are a few possible reasons why they could be doing so. The students perhaps have a grudge against Larry or dislike him and want to insult him for whatever reason by leaving his email and posting false statements and even cartoons about him (though I think insulting someone with the name of a group of people who have a different sexual orientation isn't very clever). Now as for forwarding the email with the link to the site to other friends, perhaps I wanted to hear their opinions on the site and (hopefully not, as it would make me a terrible person) try to get my friends in trouble (on second thought, no real friend would do that!).…
“Every second 28,258 users are watching pornography on the internet” (webroot.com). You may notice that this is a very high number of people. At an all-time high, the statistics show that pornography may be a threat to young adults and children. This is because watching pornography incidentally may lead them to have relationship and commitment issues and/or an unrealistic view on sexual activity.…
