The act informs police of the powers they have when making an arrest. When Alex is arrested, a police officer will approach him and ensure that he knows that he is ‘under arrest’, most likely handcuff him, and read him his rights. If the officer arresting Alex feels the need to search him, he may also be searched. Once arrested, Alex will be taken into custody as soon as possible. At the police station, Alex will have to go through a process of giving important information such as name, age, date of birth etc, have his fingerprints recorded and have a photograph taken. He may then be held in a temporary jail cell before being questioned. Alex will be taken into a room to be interviewed. He has the rights to legal advice, if he wants it, and so cannot be questioned until that decision has been made. The officers (usually two) will need to make sure that Alex knows his rights, and that the information that he gives the officer/s is voluntary, and will start the tape recording the interview for evidence, ensuring that they state the exact time/date that they interview started, and the interview will proceed. After the interview, it will be decided whether Alex will be charged for the crime, and the decision of whether or not he will be released on bail or remanded into custody. A suspect can be held for up to 24 hours before they must be charged/released on bail (if there isn’t …show more content…

The CPS must take into consideration many different factors. These can include sufficient evidence, mitigating circumstances, public safety etc. when determining the appropriate charge for the crime. In Alex’s case, there is various different factors that can affect the outcome of their decision. As the Walkers’ were at home, asleep at night, with a very young baby, this increases the seriousness of the crime. It was also reported that the ‘ground floor had been ransacked’, and so this also adds to the severity of the crime as a ‘factor indicating greater harm’. However, they must also take into account the circumstances that may have led to Alex burgling the Walkers’ home, for example it is stated that he has been a heroin addict for 5+ years, and unemployed and homeless (sofa surfing) for a long period of time. Alex’s case will have to go through two forms of test: the evidential test and the public interest test. The evidential test will involve the CPS ensuring that there is enough substantial evidence to be able to take the case to court. In order for Alex’s case to be able to go to the next stage, it MUST pass the evidential test. The CPS may examine evidence and victim/potential witness statements etc. The public interest test involves the CPS deciding ‘whether a prosecution is required in the public interest’, which essentially means, if the case isn’t

Enquiries and serious case reviews take place when a child dies subsequent to having suffered abuse and/or neglect: this is what happened in the Baby P case and in the case of Victoria Climbie, which then led to a serious shake up in the child protection system and the issuing of the Children Act 2004 and guidelines for the early years foundation stage. The Victoria Climbie case also highlighted the poor communication between agencies and that point has also consequently been addressed. The Local Safeguarding Children Board also decides if a serious case review is needed in cases where harm has come to a child through neglect and abuse. One cannot stress enough the importance of cooperation and communication between agencies in preventing and

The caregivers lacked commitment, compassion, conscientiousness, fairness and honesty, and if they had taken their jobs seriously probably Tomcik wouldn’t have suffered as much. Trial began on July 22, 1991 and the decision was made on October 7, 1991. Tomcik’s total damage came out to be $85,000 according to the text. The defendants were proven wrong and they were charged. The court did the right thing, but I think a stricter action should have been taken against the defendants.

The reliability and admissibility of evidence becomes a foundation to this truth as any evidence presented cannot contain elements which can provide doubt towards the validity of the prosecution. This can be shown through guideline 14 of the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions agreement to provide advice for the NSW police towards the legal limitations or consequences of evidence obtained during the course of an investigation (Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions n.d). Identification evidence in particular has a lower weight and strength for admission to a court due to the fallibility and circumstantial nature of witnesses. The admissibility of identification evidence was previously determined by judges based on its quality with case law such as R v. Christie providing principles for discretionary powers for admissibility and Alexander v. R providing methods satisfactory to the court for identification such as identification parades under common law. (R v. Christie 1914; Alexander v. R 1981).

Schoenborn not criminally responsible for the murder of his children is undisputable and an appropriate decision based on the evidence and the administration’s objectives. The actus reus of the case cannot be disputed, as the accused confessed to the crime and both the defence and the crown agree that Mr. Schoenborn killed his children. However, the mental element of the crime is arguable, as the possibility of Mr. Schoenborn being in a psychotic state during the time of the offence is high. The evidence to support the fact that he did not form the mens rea of the crime can be derived from his history of mental illness as well as the evidence given by Ms. Clarke that he was a good and caring father. This demonstrates that he greatly cared for his children and their safety but was prone to having psychotic episodes that muddled his mind and led him to commit dangerous and unusual acts.

Specifically, it refers to narrower range of crimes considered by the Survey. It does not pay attention to such aspects, as homicide, commercial crimes, victimization of children under 12 years old and arsons. It is apparent, that despite otherness of the survey’s purposes, analysis of those issues are desirable for a broad picture of the US crime rates. The next disadvantage of the National Crime Victimization Survey may be seen in absence of updates since the year of 1993.

Introduction The top two and most commonly used programs for reporting and tracking crime statistics in the United States are the Uniform Crime Reports, UCR, program and the National Incident-Based Reporting System, NIBRS, program. Each program contains data from crimes and incidents that is tracked, analyzed, and reported by different law enforcement agencies from the reported incidents. While the UCR is the most commonly used, many law enforcement agencies are working towards shifting to full participation of NIBRS. Both programs use similar methodology to create reports of their crime based statistics, but still contain varying differences.

The first is the Federal Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA), which attempt to protect children from maltreatment and neglect. CAPTA provides state guidelines to determine child abuse and neglect, based on a set of behaviors. For example, a child can be neglected and/or maltreated still in the mother’s womb because the child was “prenatally exposed to illegal substances” (Price, Bergin, et al, 2012). Thus, in this instance professionals who are aware of this occurrence are required to report it to CPS, specifically under CAPTA because of the guidelines that are enforced to protect these children from neglect and/or maltreatment. Another is the Protect Our Kids Act.
