Theft Act 1968

This scenario involves two parties, David and Theresa, in which Theresa is a potential Defendant.

The 60s and 70s were a difficult time for the U.S. and the world as a whole. For a presidential candidate to make his mark during this time, he’d have to include important values and policies that will better the lives of those within the country. Another important aspect would be the reputation and image portrayed by the candidate; arguably the most important aspect of a presidential campaign. In Joe McGinniss’s “The $elling of the President”, he explores the complications and factors…

Even though black homeownership increased dramatically, it still lagged far behind white homeownership (Hillier, 29-30). Redlining, at first, seems financially impractical.

can’t live where they want to based on something they have no say in, like the color of their skin or which country they were born in. To put a permanent end to it, we need to ensure that all people are protected under law from housing discrimination based on race, gender, disability, religion, country of origin, sexual orientation, or any characteristic other than how qualified they are to buy or rent the property. Also, the laws that we have put in place like the Fair Housing Act need to be…

Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act was intended to prevent the purchasing of firearms to convicted felons, but failed to recognize other avenues, and failed to establish an accurate background system.

It instituted a five day waiting period and required that every business in each state, which has a license to sale firearms, to conduct a background check on each individual prior to a sale. It also established the…

However, criminals develop various methods in obtaining weapons short of going through the procedure delegated by the Brady Bill, which declares that anyone desiring to obtain a firearm be required to wait five days for a background check to be concluded.
