The overview that follows might suggest that the administration of justice is an orderly flow that begins with the investigation of a criminal offense and ends with a prison sentence. However, due to the specific circumstances of each case, some proceed more quickly than others. INTRODUCTION Criminal justice in the United States exists to control and prevent crime. Criminal cases are those that involve the commission of acts that are prohibited by law and punishable by a jail or prison sentence. Law enforcement agencies are charged with the prevention of crime and the apprehension of criminal offenders. Courts have the duty to assure justice and due process through determining innocence or guilt of the accused and sentencing those who are convicted. The role of correctional agencies in this process involves the control, custody and supervision of persons convicted of crime.

Faculty The Restoration of Property Rights After Armed Conflicts – Rules Protecting Property and Remedies for Their Violation in Contemporary International Law Material Law Aspects) 1. Background In recent armed conflicts, such as the wars in Bosnia, Kosovo and East Timor, hundreds of thousands of refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) were forced to flee from their homes and leave behind their properties. In many cases, these abandoned properties were destroyed by military forces as part of a deliberate strategy to prevent the return of refugees and IDPs. In others, abandoned properties were systematically taken over by other groups and occupied illegally or on a temporary legal basis. In some instances, the lawful owners were forced to sell their property in exchange for exit documents or simply at gunpoint. The property title registers were often tampered with, removed or destroyed to discourage future claims for the return or compensation of property. For these reasons, a number of

Annex 1: Program Parameters The definition of program parameters should begin with an analysis of the gaps in and priorities of existing victim services, in order to identify what missing services are appropriate for the program to implement immediately and which can be implemented in the future, and which services are appropriate for other programs. Examine whether there are criminal justice and social institutions that impact victims in ways that will affect the structure of the program. Consider the following issues: The parameters of the operation of the criminal justice system How does the criminal justice system work? How do privacy laws affect law enforcement and other criminal justice records? How are law enforcement reports made, what types of information are gathered and how can this information be used in victim assistance? What levels of discretion are allowed criminal justice authorities in pursuing a case? How are criminal proceedings initiated? Do victims have a role or rights in the initiation of a case? May victims be involved in the decision to terminate a case?

White-Collar Crimes White-collar crime is a term that was first used by a sociologist in 1939 to describe criminal activity by members of the upper classes in connection with their professions. His point was that this type of crime was barely acknowledged by the criminal justice system and rarely prosecuted. Today, the most common definition of white collar crime no longer focuses on the social status of the offender but rather on the type of conduct involved: illegal acts using deceit and concealment to obtain money, property, or services, or to secure a business or professional advantage. The federal government has passed a variety of laws in the last fifty or sixty years to deal with the problem of white collar crime, using its jurisdiction under the commerce, postal and taxing powers of the federal Constitution to reach all levels of business activity. White-collar crimes follow the general principles of criminal liability in that each crime requires a bad act, a criminal intent, and causation. The defenses to white-collar crime are the same ones applicable to all crimes and include incapacity, insanity, intoxication, and duress. Of particular note for white-collar crime prosecutions is the defense of entrapment. Entrapment occurs when the government has enticed a person to commit a crime he or she otherwise would not have committed. The majority of courts look at the defense of entrapment through the eyes of the individual defendant and the focus becomes the propensity of that defendant to commit the crime in determining whether he or she has been entrapped. Other courts focus on the government's conduct from the perspective of whether it is outrageous in terms of convincing a person to commit a crime.

T. Rex's Guide to Life American Society Issues Abuse of Women and Children Government should do everything possible to end the abuse of women and children. The enforcement of restraining orders should be a priority of the government. Abusers should face the maximum possible punishments and should receive life prison sentences for repeat offenses. Airplane Security Guns should not be allowed on airplanes, not even in the possession of pilots or marshals. Anyone whose job deals directly with national security should be a federal government employee. Alcohol Sales of alcohol should be legal in all states, cities and counties and the legal drinking age should be 16 with parental or judicial consent or 18 otherwise. American Bar Association Judicial Review The ABA should be reinstated as a filter for judicial nominees. Community Policing Police officers should live in the areas that they patrol as much as possible and should spend more time on the beat and less time in cars or in offices. This is one of the best ways to help alleviate crime, police brutality and mistrust of law enforcement. Community Rights Communities have the right to know when violent criminals move into their neighborhood, but they do not have the right to deny legally-obtained housing to criminals who have served their sentences.

Your Legal Voice Archive The Michigan Health Care False Claim Act All health care providers, including chiropractors, need to understand the Michigan Health Care False Claim Act, MCL 752.1001-1011. This act prohibits fraud in obtaining benefits or payments in connection with health care coverage and insurance; prohibits kickbacks or bribes in connection with such coverage and insurance; prohibits conspiracies in obtaining benefits or payments; and provides for enforcement and penalties. The actions prohibited by the act may apply to both the provider and patient, or any other "person." "Person" is defined as an individual, corporation, partnership, association, or any other legal entity. Part 1003 of the act states that a " person shall not make, or present or cause to be made or presented a claim for payment of health care benefits knowing the claim to be false"  or, "knows falsely represents that the goods or services were medically necessary in accordance with professionally accepted standards." In addition, a person is prohibited from making a "false statement or false representation of a material fact for use in determining rights to health care benefits." It is important to note that "knowing" or "knowingly" does not include making a mistake or error, unless there is "a systematic or persistent tendency to cause inaccuracies to be present."

Restitution, Compensation and Rehabilitation Report of the Independent Expert In the early 1990s, the Sub-Commission appointed a special rapporteur to consider the right to restitution, compensation and rehabilitation of gross violations of human rights and fundamental freedoms and to prepare draft guidelines on this question. Between 1993 and 1997 three versions of basic principles and guidelines were prepared (see E/CN.4/Sub.2/1993/8, 2 July 1993, section IX; E/CN.4/Sub.2/1996/17, 24 May 1996; and E/CN.4/1997/104, 16 January 1997). At its 1998 session, the Commission adopted resolution 1998/43 in which it noted with interest the positive experience of countries that had established policies and adopted legislation on the question and called once more upon the international community to give due attention to the right to restitution, compensation and rehabilitation for victims of grave violations of human rights. In that same resolution, the Commission established the mandate of an independent expert to prepare a revised version of the draft basic principles and guidelines and to submit the revised daft to the Commission on Human Rights at its 1999 session, with a view to adoption by the General Assembly.
