Deterrence

INTRODUCTION United States Army has produced a new technology, “escalation of force” capability for the Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station (CROWS) which is called “Green Eyes” kit. The Army's Program Executive Office Soldier is fielding several Green Laser Escalation of Force, or GLEF, kits to units in Afghanistan for operational assessment. It has being tested in Afghanistan to assist soldier by giving them an interim step before escalating force. The CROWS system allows a weapon such as…

Incapacitation is used as a means to protect society from the individual. In the case of Leonardo who was charged with drug trafficking he would be incapacitated so he could not sell any more drugs. Specific deterrence means prison will convince the individual not to commit the crime again while general deterrence means other people will not commit similar crimes after seeing the individual suffer in prison. Based on these principles, the goal of imprisoning Leonardo would be to prevent him from…

V for Vendetta was a great film adaption from the graphic novel. Some argue that the point of this film was to send a message to its viewers about political action. It was trying to convey that once the people stop caring, that is when the government will start to get intrusive. That is what the Norsefire did, they took advantage of a situation in which the people were not politically active and they were able to pass intrusive laws with unchecked power. Apparently the message of the film…

Our modern civilization consists of many different types of people. There are those who believe in good and the helping of others, while there are those who are the polar opposite. One of the most argued and disputed issues of the 21st century is how we should enforce and punish those who do not follow the laws and rules. The category most commonly used for these people is a criminal. Yes, there are criminals who are considered worse than others; however, they are categorized under the same…

the path of “cyber-criminality” and highlight its implications for the cyber industry, policy, and law enforcement. Aiken, Davidson, and Amann (2016) argue for the need to focus on the psychological and social aspects of cybercrime to emphasize on deterrence and prevention; instead of merely the mechanical and technical facets which focus on just sanctions. Theoretical Frameworks Aiken, Davidson, and Amann (2016) maintains that there are four key areas of theoretical frameworks to consider when…

People who commit crime are often influenced by something, whether it is by genetic, environment, social or decision making factors. Criminologists study the criminological perspectives to help them to determine how and why the crime occurred. There are many different theories about what causes crime. A few of the criminological perspectives are trait, social and classical theories. Trait theory of criminology is when people commit crimes because of certain personality traits. Trait…

should be recognized for. Many argue that the destruction caused by the atomic bomb was unjustifiable due to the sheer loss of life. But the use of the atomic bombs on Japan was justified as it shut the Soviet Union out of Japan and created nuclear deterrence that led to a relatively peaceful era. The relations between the Soviet Union and the United States were troubled since the Soviet Union’s inception. Before the Soviets rose, the monarchical Russians were in power and entered World War I…

crime have both disputed and defended capital punishment in America. There have been multiple studies suggesting that having the death penalty doesn’t reduce the crime rate. On the other side of the coin some have suggested that the death penalty is deterrence for crime. The major flaw I see with the Death penalty is that it takes too long. On average it takes 10 to 12 years to get an order of execution. This is due to our judicial system and the failure of swift due process. I understand that…

In 1987 the Australian Justice System created The Children’s Court under the Children’s Court Act 1987 (NSW). This court only deals with matters concerning children who are under the age of 18. This court was created in order of protecting children and their families’ identity as well as making the process more comfortable and less traumatising. This court is presided by a magistrate, with no jury and the forbiddance of members of society coming and watching. The media cannot publish the child’s…

the practice and its distinction from plagiarism as a “misattribution rather than lack of attribution”. Most recent efforts to combat academic ghostwriting apply the techniques developed for plagiarism. While these may work well for prevention and deterrence they do not translate well to the task of detecting academic ghostwriting. Moreover, attempts to focus on detection have largely…
