Conspiracy and Party to a Crime

/in /by

Scenario

John and Donald travel to a convenience store in Donald’s car. John says he wants to purchase a bottle of water and a honey bun. As he exits the car, John asks Donald if he needs anything. Donald says no. John places a mask over his face after he exits the car. John enters the store, pulls out a pistol, and demands that the store clerk give him all of the store’s money. The store clerk hands the money to John and also trips the secret alarm. John exits the store. He gets in the car and yells to Donald, “Go, go, go!” He tells Donald he just robbed the store. Donald panics and wants John to exit his car, but he drives John home and decides not to speak with John ever again.

John is later apprehended after using “marked” money from the robbery. The police charge him with the offenses of armed robbery and possession of stolen goods.

Classmate #1 Jessica

Yes Donald should be charged as a conspirator because he knew what John did. Even though when he was driving with John to the store he didn’t know what John planned to do, he found out after the fact and didn’t tell anyone. If he were to turn John in instead of saying nothing and ever talking to John then maybe he shouldn’t be charged. If John gave him money to be quiet I wouldn’t have answered differently. He should still be charged.

If I were a law enforcement officer the facts of this crime is that John had a mask and gun so he planned on going in that store and robbing it, that would be the action (actus reus) and taking the money would be the intent ( mens rea).

Classmate # 2 Daniel

Unfortunately for Donald, he is in a fair amount of trouble here and he should and probably will be charged as a co-conspirator to armed robbery. For his sake, I hope nobody was injured in the process the robbery, because he would get stuck for that crime as well.

First and foremost, Donald became an accomplice when he drove away. Had he run from the car and refused to aid in his friend’s getaway, he would have been just fine, but by acting as the getaway driver he aided and abetted the crime by providing the escape. He had yet another opportunity to save himself after the crime had been committed. All he needed to do was call the police and tell them what happened. By explaining that he did not know this was occurring and he feared his friend might harm him (assuming that’s true), he would be released of his liability. By not reporting the crime, he failed to act and further engrossed himself in the situation.

In regard to Donald accepting John’s money, he would have dug himself even deeper into the crime. By accepting the money, he is indirectly showing support for the crime as opposed to trying to stop or report it.

In terms of John’s crimes, I used the state which I work in as in as the example. I have underlined the elements of the crime which John committed. Massachusetts General Law on robbery reads “Whoever, being armed with a dangerous weapon, assaults another and robs, steals or takes from his person money or other property which may be the subject of larceny shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for life or for any term of years; provided, however, that any person who commits any offense described herein while masked or disguised or while having his features artificially distorted shall, for the first offense be sentenced to imprisonment for not less than five years and for any subsequent offense for not less than ten years. Whoever commits any offense described herein while armed with a firearm, shotgun, rifle, machine gun or assault weapon shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for not less than five years. Any person who commits a subsequent offense while armed with a firearm, shotgun, rifle, machine gun or assault weapon shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for not less than 15 years. (“Section 17”, n.d.)” John is eligible for LIFE in prison if he committed this crime in Massachusetts. As a law enforcement officer, I would show how he violated each one of these elements.

Accounting for Leases

/in /by

Teal Industries and Flint Inc. enter into an agreement that requires Flint Inc. to build three diesel-electric engines to Teal’s specifications. Upon completion of the engines, Teal has agreed to lease them for a period of 10 years and to assume all costs and risks of ownership. The lease is noncancelable, becomes effective on January 1, 2017, and requires annual rental payments of $384,165 each January 1, starting January 1, 2017.Teal’s incremental borrowing rate is 10%. The implicit interest rate used by Flint Inc. and known to Teal is 8%. The total cost of building the three engines is $2,395,000. The economic life of the engines is estimated to be 10 years, with residual value set at zero. Teal depreciates similar equipment on a straight-line basis. At the end of the lease, Teal assumes title to the engines. Collectibility of the lease payments is reasonably certain; no uncertainties exist relative to unreimbursable lessor costs.

Lecture Summary:

Congress is frequently referred to as the first branch of government. It was the first branch created by the Framers of the Constitution. In the late 18th and 19th centuries, it was more often than not the more important of the federal triad. Congress has two major overarching missions. The first is representation. Congress represents states and the localities within states. The second major mission is lawmaking.

Theodore Lowi holds that there are two models in his theory on representation, sociological and agency representation. Sociological representation offers leadership that is a sociological composite of the district represented. Agency representation offers leadership which is service based. The legislator is an “agent” for their district or state. The need not be similar to the majority of the inhabitants. Most members of Congress operate under the agency representational model.

Neil Reimer argues there are four role models in representation, the trustee, the delegate, the partisan, and the partisan-politico. The trustee model is a hire and fire representative chosen by the voters to make independent decisions for them. If they make bad decisions, the voters fire them in the next election. The delegate is the servant leader who holds office to meet the needs of all their constituents, often an impossible task. Additionally, Reimer calls the representative who follows his party leadership in the legislature in making decisions a partisan. Finally, the partisan-politico is a situational response political needs. Certain legislative decision-making requires principled stands on issues which the public do not share, such as civil rights legislation. Other times, a legislator simply makes decisions the way his constituents want, as to avoid political suicide. Finally, given the organizational nature of Congress, a legislator must cooperate with his/her party leaders to advance their legislative agenda for his/her district. The partisan-politico is a more practical approach to representation.

Lawmaking is the next most important duty of Congress. It is a complex process with many components. The components include political parties, committees, the staff, the caucuses, the rules, and the presidency. Other salient groups include the public and interest groups. There are only two constitutional officers in Congress, the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President of the Senate (the Vice-President), the method of conducting business had to be devised by the members. The Constitution left internal organization up to the members.

Political parties were organized early and leadership roles are developed around them. The majority party controls the legislative process in both the Senate and the House. The titles and roles are very similar in each House. They are based upon majority and minority leadership axes. The majority and minority leaders have deputy leaders known as whips. Each party assigns members to the various committees.

The committee structure is how most work gets considered in Congress. Very little legislation is considered by the whole body of each house. Legislation is assigned to specialize committees in each house. Standing committees are the primary workhorses of the Congress. They are permanent in nature and consider specific legislative areas such as foreign policy, commerce or agriculture. Often they will refer legislation to sub groups called subcommittees. These are part of a standing committee. Select or special committees often are investigative in nature. They are temporary in nature. An example of a special committee would be the House Un-American Activities Committee, or HUAC, which investigated alleged communism in America during the 1950’s. Finally, conference committees exist to work out the differences between Senate and House versions of similar bills. A bill cannot go the President for signature or become law unless both Houses agree on all the text provisions.

Congress also creates its own internal rules to operate by. The Senate, which is the smaller of the two bodies, is designed to be deliberative. It allows unlimited debate. Filibusters are a means by which Senators delay or kill a piece of legislation by talking it to death. The only means to stop this procedure is invoking a Senate rule called cloture. This requires at least sixty (60) Senators vote to kill debate.

The House of Representatives has 435 members. It has restrictions on debate, twenty minutes per member. Members specialize even more than the Senate to gain influence and power in the lower house. It is more difficult for Representatives to be noticed and gain credit for legislation than the 100 member upper house.

Each body has specialized powers. The Senate’s power of “advice and consent” allows it to approve or disapprove presidential treaties with foreign countries. This process also controls Presidential appointments to the federal judiciary, the Executive Cabinet, and ambassadorial appointments. Advice and consent on treaties requires two-thirds majority (67) Senatorial votes to approve. Presidential appointments require a simple majority (51). The House specific powers include all appropriation bills must originate from the House. Also, all Presidential impeachments must arise in the House.

Finally, Congress has the power to investigate. Frequently in the past the power has had great impact on political processes. The Watergate committee and the Truman committee during W.W.II are just two examples.

Members do rely heavily upon their staff to accomplish much on Capitol Hill. Most of the drafting of legislation, constituent relations, and dealing with interest groups is done by staff. Often members of Congress are accused of being out of touch with their districts. However, given the formidable nature of ongoing constituent relations, the burden of lawmaking, and the pressure of special interests, it is fair to say their “plate is full”. The ultimate question really is- Who do they represent?

Watch this video below to answer this question-

Adjective-1What Congressional barriers do legislation have to overcome before becoming law?

http://www.wwnorton.com/college/polisci/american-p…

Adjective-2

1. Two of Congress’s chief responsibilities are representation and lawmaking. Describe the ways in which these two responsibilities might conflict with one another. How do these responsibilities support or reinforce each other? What would Congress be like if it’s sole function were representative? What would it be like if it were solely legislative?

2. Describe the process by which a bill becomes a law. At the various stages of this process, access who- both within government and without- makes and influences decisions. Are there stages at which the process is more democratic than it is at others? Are their stages at which the people have less influence? In your judgment, is the overall process democratic?

Preparing for the next pandemic (Individual Case Analysis )

/in /by

As a future leader in the field of public health, you may face many chronic health threats to various systems. As you work to combat these threats and ensure community wellness, you are likely to become an agent of social change. This objective may be more challenging, although more critical, to achieve in matters such as in public health emergencies and outbreaks. For leaders, outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics elicit critical and timely attention to situations in public health.

In this week’s article by Osterholm, the author presents a possibility of another pandemic. Using this Learning Resource as well as 2–4 additional resources you may find from the Walden Library, current events, etc., consider your leadership perspective during a pandemic influenza outbreak in the United States.

By selecting the following leadership role that would respond during this outbreak: Incident Response Commander

Use a systems approach to establish immediate response in preventing another pandemic.

Individual Case Analysis (1–2 pages)

Based on the leadership role you selected for the assignment, include the following:

  • A summary of the leadership challenges this leader would face in assuring the system changes necessary to be prepared for the next pandemic
  • An explanation of how your leadership challenges as this leader relate to challenges of the other leaders including :
  • Director, FEMA
  • Director, CDC
  • Governor of an afflicted state
  • Response Leader, American Red Cross (or other non-governmental organization)
