of the deceased as a woman he saw just before the time of the murder; He said she was with two men, both of whom had dark hair, dark mustaches, and wore gentleman 's clothing. The witness also said one man referred to the other as “Lipski”. Chief Inspector Donald Swanson even states in his report: “The use of ‘Lipski’ increases my belief that the murderer was a Jew.” The police reports also have sparse mentions of inquests involving accusations of a few declared insane medical students in the…
interlocked by statutory regulations, which bind the country together through exposure and deterrence of crime (Dixon, 1929, p. 178). The regional UK crime unit is composed of territorial police forces and National Law Enforcement bodies. They have a Chief Constable who resembles a U.S. sheriff and a National Crime Agency that performs the same tasks as the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the States. The largest compilation of police lies in the British Transport sector due to thousands of…
Reprehensible Recycling As far as 13 million years ago, humans have recycled. Archaeologists find evidence that our ancestors reused flint and bone in the tools they wielded (David). Fast forward from then and recycling is still incorporated into our society. In the 1970s Donald Sanderson, a former city councilman in Woodbury New Jersey, led the effort to make recycling mandatory (Poncavage). Even today people think that a 100% recycled society is a great thing, but is it? Recycling…
to be found. Carter’s career had seen a meteoric rise and a sudden, catastrophic fall. In the 1890’s, he traveled from Norfolk, England, to work with a guy by the name of Percy Newberry where he got his name out. “In 1899 Carter was appointed Chief Inspector of Antiquities for southern Egypt”. (Tlydesley, 2012). Here he built doors to help protect tombs as well as put lights inside the tombs for visitors. The biggest thing he did was building a donkey park for all of the tourist. His name really…
Forensic psychologists play an important role in the criminal justice system. They must assess whether defendants are fit to stand trial and whether they were sane at the time they committed crimes. In some cases, officials may also ask them to assess the mental health of inmates on death row. Inmates who are insane cannot be put to death. In all criminal trials, it's up to the jury to decide guilt or innocence. Still, a psychologist's assessment can have a profound influence on the outcome of a…
Behind each war, there is a cause. A reason that people finally decide to stand up and fight for what it is they deserve, and this is the same with every revolution. For the Americans in 1780-1800, it was the high taxation pushed upon them by the British, the same people who were unfairly awarded more natural rights than the Americans, and ravished through the streets of their homeland, killing 5, in what is now known as the Boston Massacre. Of course the Americans were outraged by all of this,…
The life of Sir John Simon The world would be such a different society without scientist who have come before us. Healthcare would not be as far advanced if we did not have genius physicians who have come before our time. During the 18th century there was a time where some health inventions were made that shaped healthcare today. One very notable pathologist set new health care standards that pertained to sanitation, his accomplishments throughout his life made him one of the most racializable…
children that were entitled to free school meals were lower performing in education at 16, only representing 31% of the group achieving 5 or more GCSE’s at A* to C grade. This statistic is of high importance and Sir Michael Wilshaw (Her Majesty’s chief inspector) explained that the size of the working class group meant that it is a major issue needs to be resolved (House of Commons, June 2014, p5). Cultural Deprivation theorists believe that basic skills and values required for Educational…
According to Rob Montemorra, chief of the FBI’s Health Care Fraud Unit, “hackers also break into digital medical records and steal billions of dollars from Medicare systems, making the government to single biggest victim of health care fraud.” (Kavilanz, 2010). The news that President…
