Juvenile Delinquency And Violence: Examining International Police And Societal Response, Gordon A. Crews, Angela West Crews

Angela Crews

This presentation comparatively examines relationships in the United States, Eastern and Central Europe, Scandinavia, and parts of the Middle East among juvenile violence, "heavy metal" music, substance abuse, and participation in occult and "alternative" youth groups (e.g., Wicca, Satanism, vampirism, Goth). We trace the movement of certain groups, behaviors, and preferences and make a correlation between some of these movements and an increase in youth violence and substance abuse. The authors use results from surveys and participant observations in the U.S., Copenhagen, Germany, the Netherlands, & the Middle East (Egypt & Turkey) that indicate, however, that mere participation in these …

Citizen And Officer Perceptions Of Community Policing In Ghana: Policing Of, By, And For The People, Or Just To The People?, Angela West Crews, Gordon A. Crews

Angela Crews

This presentation presents initial results of an evaluation of citizen and officer perceptions of policing in Ghana. The Ghana Police Service (GPS) is attempting to transition from a para-militaristic philosophy to a more community-centered approach, developing a domestic violence unit in the past decade and, more recently, a community policing unit. Community policing philosophies, however, face unique challenges in Ghanaian society, such as a deep-rooted (and historically well-founded) mistrust of the police, and a culture with a well-established and trusted “traditional” system wherein matters are settled within communities and impacted by religion, spirituality, and mysticism. This project used official reported …

Stark Voluntary Self-Referral Disclosure Protocol (Srdp) And Stark Law, Kip Klingman

Kip Klingman

When you’ve made a serious mistake, sometimes it is best to step forward and confess before the government regulators find out on their own. The federal Stark Law, governing physician self-referral, provides a mechanism for voluntary disclosing a violation, but using that option requires a carefully crafted game plan.

The Civil Rights Movement And The Constitution, Wilson Huhn

Wilson R. Huhn

This presentation of March 3, 2012, describes the influence that the Civil Rights Movement has had on the interpretation of the Constitution. The Civil Rights Movement not only broadened our understanding of the principle of equality under Equal Protection, it also expanded opportunities for Freedom of Expression and the Right to Privacy. In addition, the Civil Rights Movement stimulated the courts to recognize the power of Congress to enact legislation under the Commerce Clause and Section 5 of the 14th Amendment. Finally, as a result of the Civil Rights Movement, the Supreme Court has moved to a more realistic, consequentialist …

Miljökvalitetsnormer, Evgenia Pavlovskaia, Josefin Gooch

Evgenia Pavlovskaia

MKN infördes i samband med att miljöbalken trädde i kraft 1999. Utgår från vad människa och miljö kan anses tåla Syfte (5 kap. 1 § MB): - att skydda människors hälsa eller miljön - i förebyggande syfte - för redan uppkomna skador på miljön - viktigt styrmedel för att genomföra de nationella miljökvalitetsmålen - uppfylla krav som ställs på grund av Sveriges medlemskap i EU. Används för att komma till rätta med miljöpåverkan från diffusa utsläppskällor som till exempel trafik och jordbruk. Baseras oftast på krav i olika direktiv inom EU.

Förorenade Områden, Evgenia Pavlovskaia

Evgenia Pavlovskaia

Miljöproblemen med föroreningar i mark och vatten började att uppmärksammas på allvar i Sverige i början av 1970-talet. Det blev då alltmera tydligt att industrisamhället hade byggt upp en miljöskuld som inte bara utgjorde en lokal belastning på omgivningen, utan också ett storskaligt miljöproblem. 10 kapitel MB ställer reparativa krav på sanering eller efterbehandling, i synnerhet om verksamheten som hade orsakat problemen var nedlagd. Här är det alltså fråga om det ansvar som förorenaren har gentemot det allmänna att avhjälpa skador som uppkommit av hans verksamhet. Reglerna kan tillämpas på mark och vattenområden, byggnader och anläggningar som är förorenade och …
