Blood as one of the most
helpful keys in the crime scene
...Blood is a very complex substance of the human body that
often helps crime investigators to find the offender or any
other clues connected with the crime. Let us investigate in
more detail what blood consists of, how it is identified and
distinguished. One of the major qualities of blood used by
criminal investigators is the ability to clot. Clotting is a
helpful key to crime scene investigations as it can from an
estimate guide to how much time has passed since the blood
has left the body. Blood will start to clot between 3-15
minutes after it has left the body, but this can be affected
by haemophilia, leukaemia and various medications. When the
blood starts to clot it turns into a dark, shiny, jelly-like
mass and after sometime it will start to contract and
separate from the serum...

A critical examination of the British
Crime Survey
...The primary purpose of the British Crime Survey is to
estimate how many of the public in England and Wales are
victims of selected types of crime over a year, describing
the circumstances under which people become victims, and the
consequences of crime for victims. Other aims include
providing background information on fear of crime among the
public and on public contact with the police. Respondents
are asked a series of screening questions to establish
whether they or their households had been victims of
relevant crimes during the one-year reference period. They
are then asked a series of very detailed questions about the
incidents they reported. Basic descriptive background
information on respondents and their household(s) is
collected to allow analysis of the sorts of people who do
and do not become victims...

California’s very special approach to
Three-Strikes Law
...The Three-Strikes law is a very strict law with a notion
of putting to prison almost anyone with two previous
criminal records for 25 years even if the offender stole a
loaf of bread in the grocery store. It is a known fact that
bad law has a price. The financial blowback from
Three-Strikes laid waste to California’s already debt ridden
budget. The price tag was $35,000 a year per inmate to
maintain the more than 30,000 non-violent offenders in
California prisons. This was passed on to California
taxpayers at a rate of more than 1 billion dollars a year.
And that figure got higher as more non-violent offenders
were imprisoned...

Discuss the idea that capital punishment
is only justified because criminals are permanently disabled
of causing harm
...Advocates of the idea that punishment is ultimately
justified by the fact that it is deserved and proportionate
are primarily motivated by a hatred of criminals and wish to
see them get what they deserve, as a result one may not be
able to deviate from the view that a defence of capital
punishment derives strongly on irrational arguments.
The justice model is often linked to retributive theories.
Sentencing should be fair and not aim to achieve anything
other than punishing offenders in proportion to the harm
that hey have done. It emphasises fairness while retribution
is often popularly distorted to support demands for
vengeance or harsher sentences...

Impact of Restorative Justice on Victims
of Crime
...Tony Marshall tried to explain the meaning of restorative
justice in the following manner :‘Restorative justice is a
process whereby parties with a stake in a specific offence
collectively resolve how to deal with the aftermath of the
offence and its implications for the future’, (Johnstone,
2002:164).
Conceptually, restorative justice sees crime as fundamentally a
violation of people and interpersonal relationships, and the
point of action is to seek to heal and put right the wrongs
(Zehr, 1990: 52). The emphasis is on reparation of harm to
the victims, addressing the offenders needs and
competencies, and sending offenders a message of disapproval
about the impact of the crime...
