Presumption of innocence

due process model as it has less faith in the reliability and actions carried out in the early stages of the criminal process and puts greater reliance on formal fact finding as well as an empathise on the rights of the individual and their presumption of innocence. This model also is concerned with the power of the state illegally depriving its citizens of their rights and believes in examining the state powers. Where as the crime control model on the other hand is mainly focused on public…

The European Investigation Order into Criminal Matters Collecting evidence is at the core of any criminal proceeding. It enables policing authorities to identify potential offenders, helping to demonstrate a perpetrators guilt or innocence. National borders are not a consideration when criminal activity occurs. Criminal cross-border activity investigation requires cooperation between prosecutors, judges and the European Union across the borders. Transnational criminal activity is on the…

In a world where the homeless are looked down upon because of their social status, human selfishness makes it challenging for many to trust and confide in others. J.D. Salinger, the author of The Catcher in the Rye, suffered from P.T.S.D due to trauma from his time serving in the U.S. army during World War 2 (Gopnik 2013). After the war, J.D. Salinger immersed himself in his work and wrote The Catcher in the Rye. Salinger, in midst of his fame, strayed away from doing public appearances and…

Though the original connotations and presumptions associated with a title like “Much Ado about Nothing” leave much (or really anything) to be desired, in the case of this play the word “nothing” ironically holds many meanings and great thematic weight. In describing his love for Beatrice, Benedick asserts “there’s a double meaning to that” and this same principle applies in regards to the title (cite). The first interpretation outlines the obvious, asserting that many of the play’s events are…

Like the Chinese yin and yang, Chinese philosophers consider conflicting forces flattering. Similar tensions exist in the Canadian criminal justice system of the crime control model and due process. Herbert Packer introduced the crime control and due process model in his book, The Limits of the Criminal Sanctions. (http://www.repository.law.indiana.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2512&context=ilj) The reading demonstrates the divided processes in criminal justice system. There are certainly…

GLOBAL COMPARITIVE: U.S AND U.K. The system of U.K has always led to a favorable comparison due to the long drawn history between both the countries. The system of the U.S.A on the other hand is an extreme end to understand where the fine line stands between the rights of the child and the protection of society. This comparison is important to note the new differential provision brought about in the Bill by India to treat the age group of 16-18. The age of majority is an important point of…

Would you defend the right of someone to tell lies about you if you had little opportunity to fight back? Hate speech is typically born of false premises that lead to prejudice, and it tends to target groups speakers perceive as particularly vulnerable. To combat such prejudice, some have proposed laws which would limit the right to engage in discriminatory speech. Even so, hate speech remains largely legal, at least within the United States: banning any form of individual expression – as…

technique facilitates most of these confessions (Malloy, Shulman & Cauffman, 2014). People under age 25 are more likely to be pressured into making a false confession that links them to a violent criminal activity (Malloy, Shulman & Cauffman, 2014). The innocence project found that in the last 25 years 38% of young people age 18 and under were later exonerated through DNA evidence after being convicted on false testimonies (Rubin, 2014). Juveniles make up a significant number of vulnerable…

The United States Criminal Justice System uses procedural justice; whereas, the Japanese Justice System uses substantive justice (DeSombre, 1995). Procedural law “points out the kind of evidence that can be submitted, what the jury is allowed to hear and the credentials of those allowed to represent the defendant” (Schmalleger, 2011, p. 20). Procedural law protects the rights of criminal suspects by specifying step-by-step rules that outline the legal criminal procedure by which the criminal…
