Double jeopardy

Do you believe in equality? Does your mind seem to forget about what is allowed and what isn’t? Do you know what you are entitled to as a human being of the United States? Of course you do because you know your rights, The Bill of Rights. Did you know that since 1787 27 amendments have been added to that Bill? No! You say, well I know you that you know that the bill of rights started off with ten basic amendments. If not then I am appalled! I’ll cut you a deal I’ll take you down this road of…

Zami: A New Spelling of My Name is a semi-autobiography and semi post-modern post structuralism fiction. It is an elegant, however strange, mixture with metaphorical, mythic and fictional story lines. As a black author, Audre Lorde presents the story as a semi self-reflection of the inception of black lesbianism in the modern era. Although the vivid depiction of hetero-sexual and homo-sexual encounters is border-lined with exotics, this book is not intentioned to promote either promiscuity or…

acidification down play the situation by arguing that there is too much speculating involved, but already scientists have been seeing double the amount of dissolved zooplankton since the pre-industrial era. The number will continue to grow as we are on track to triple this amount by 2050. With significant loss of zooplankton, every animal that depends upon it will be put in jeopardy. This in turn leads to instability in the diet of an approximated one billion people who rely on seafood as their…

Policing in America today has grown to become a one-of-a-kind economic, social and political force. In order to recognize how policing in the United States of America relates to the existing relationship between the police and the distinct social classes and ethnic groups, one needs to understand how the history of policing has developed in order to emerge as what it is currently.

doing something else. At the end of it all, she gave me a hug and told her that I can always come to her to talk if something is going on. From that day on, we have better communication with each other. I am thorough with our conversations and always double check to make sure she is aware of everything. If it was not for the communication skills I had, I would have never known what to do and would have probably left without talking to her that day. I am glad I did speak with her because it was…

According to the site USLegal “Witherspoon v. Illinois (391 U. S. 510), the Supreme Court maintained that a potential juror’s reservations about the death penalty were insufficient grounds to prevent that person from serving on the jury in a death penalty case. Jurors could be disqualified only if prosecutors could show that their attitudes toward capital punishment would prevent them from making an impartial decision about the punishment.” This is an example of one of many times that people…

expected when physical coercion is more common than subtle forms of control. When a minority population in a given area begins to increase, the power threat theory comes into play. This theory asserts that when majority leaders believe they are in jeopardy of losing power, criminal law targeted at minority groups are created; then the police presence in that area is increased to enforce those laws (Gerstenberger et al.,…

formed (Blandford & Osher, 2013). But this is an ideal situation, the problem with this individualized approach is funding and due to the lack of funding, PWMI find themselves incarcerated instead of being treated in psychiatric facilities (“Double Jeopardy”, 1995). This creates a problem because without funding there’s cannot be individualized treatment however without treatment mental illness can worsen leading to greater costs. This can be seen with Megginson’s case, he’s been in-between…
