And although his cries of wanting to be a better member of society and his eagerness to show that he has…

I designed the books of 10 to keep things simple and attainable while still providing vast knowledge to the reader. Primarily these books are intended to enhance the knowledge, skills and abilities of Law Enforcement (L.E.) and Military members. Whether its corrections, security, protection, patrol, investigations or another branch of L.E. our overall mission is still relative, “Protect the innocent”. If you have not heard me say it before, it’s important that this becomes your business. No,…

permissible. It is morally permissible to punish those who cruelly take the life of an innocent person through the means of capital punishment. Those who take the life of another with willing malicious intent deserve a punishment that it equal to the crime they committed.

I had a variety of excuses, but I now completely understand the far-reaching effects of what I have done corrupted the foreclosure process in general, and for all of that I am truly…

Additionally, I realized that as a doctor I could not save everyone, but as a lawyer would always…

To the Admissions Department of the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights, When talking about transitional justice, two pictures come to my mind.
