Criminal Justice System Police Discretion
958 wordsPhilosopher, Ronald Dworkin and H. L. A. Hart refers to discretion as "the hole in the doughnut" (doughnut theory of discretion). In this standpoint, discretion is the vacant area in the middle of a ring consisting of policies and procedures. To be able to make choices freely is called a strong sense of discretion. Discretion lies within the hole of the doughnut. Individualized judgments are often made by police officials, everyday. However, the loose definition often seems to be a bit of a chal...

Commit A Crime Ability To Choose
1,252 wordsBrain frees Humans The topic I wish to discuss deals with the freewill of humans. For example, say a guy has an enemy, which he hates. One day this guy makes a conscious decision to kill his enemy. Should blame fall on this man for killing his enemy? Currently, all places in the world, which I can think of, are built around some moral basis that holds a person responsible for their actions. Although, a hard determinist would have to disagree and say that people are not free. Human acts are cause...

Its focus is on the functional requirements, or needs, of a social system that must be met for the system to survive and the corresponding structures that meet those needs. The social ...

Measuring Cylinder Reaction Rate
3,430 wordsHow concentration affects reaction rate. The aim of this investigation is to see how the concentration of a reactant in ratio to the reactor affects the rate of a reaction. When hydrochloric acid and Thiosulphate react together sulphur is liberated this means that as the reaction goes on the solution will become yellow and will change from being transparent to translucent to opaque. The sulphur is formed as a solid but not in the usual precipitation way. Na 2 + S 2 + 2 HCL 2 NaCl+SO 2 + S 2 +H 2...

This powder would have be the one which costs less than any of the others to bring the acid build up to a...

A related rates problem is a problem which involves at least two changing quantities and asks you to figure out the rate at which one is changing given sufficient information on all of the others. There are several key steps in setting up and solving related rates problems. Some important and helpful things to do are ...
