Only about 9% of serious violent crime victims received direct assistance in terms of help or advice from a victim service agency from 1993 to 2009 (U.S. Department of Justice, 2011). Although social scientists and mental health professionals have done a great deal of work to identify victims’ needs and develop treatment strategies, in the majority of victimization cases no services are provided, either because they are not available or the victim does not seek help.
This week you assessed the needs of victims and researched services that might help their situation. The next step is for you to write a letter to your governor or local lawmakers, articulating those needs and services to policy makers in such a way that they can and will develop a plan of action to make modern victim services a reality. You can use real life examples of victim’s sufferings, a cost benefit model, or both, but your letter should make a convincing case on behalf of victims.

Your attorney represents Albert Wilson who is the owner in fee of a parcel of improved real estate located at 1 Main Street, Middletown, USA. It is a single family residence, located in an R-1 (residential 1 family house) zone, and served by city water and sewer. The house was built in 1944.
Robert Brown and Alice Brown, his wife, are entering into a contract to purchase the property. The sale price is $200,000. The Browns will tender $10,000 as down payment upon signing (earnest money) and pay an additional $10,000 within 20 days of contract signing. The couple is seeking a 30-year conventional mortgage of $180,000, at the current rate, which is 5.5%.
The Browns have already sold their house and expect to close on or before December 17, 2005, which is 90 days from the anticipated date of the contract with Mr. Wilson.
Assume that the property Mr. Wilson is selling to Mrs. and Mr. Brown has a rich vein of coal.
Barbara Jones owns a lakefront parcel of property that does not have direct access to a public right of way. The only way to reach her property by land is to cross her neighbor's property. Her neighbor does not like this and claims that Barbara may not use his property to reach her land. A ferry service is established across the lake that provides Barbara access to her property without crossing the neighbor's land.
Barbara approaches your firm with this issue. Your attorney asks you to research appropriate case laws and statutes in your state and prepare a legal argument supporting Barbara's right to cross the property, applying rules concerning easements.
Prepare the argument in no more than 1000 words.

You have been tasked by the local police academy to host a discussion of the use of force continuum or matrix. The new cadets are eager to learn when and under what conditions they may apply force in a given situation. You know that this is an area that can cause problems. If they overuse force, they are abusing citizens. If they underuse force, they are placing citizens, their partners, and their own lives in danger. You must articulate the fine line of decision making in this discussion.
- In 3–5 paragraphs, address the following:
- In law enforcement, what are the levels of force? Explain in your own words.
- When can these levels of force be employed? Explain.
- How do you feel force should be applied through law enforcement officers? Explain in detail. Provide examples when necessary.

Question 1. Materials Ltd (“ML”) sell building materials and sold 200 tonnes of gravel to Builders Ltd (“BL”) for a price of £8000. BL bought the bulk of the gravel to use in the construction of a new warehouse for Olicana Ltd (“Olicana”) on a site owned by Olicana. BL agreed to sell 25 tonnes of the gravel bought from ML to Patel Builders (“Patel”) for £1750. The 200 tonnes of gravel was delivered to the Olicana construction site from ML’s storage facility containing 20,000 tonnes of gravel. The contract between ML and BL provided that payment was due within 14 days of the invoice which was sent to BL on delivery. BL are in financial difficulties and even though BL received an interim payment under their contract with Olicana towards on- going costs of construction including materials, BL failed to pay ML for the gravel. Payment to ML is now 3 months overdue. BL has become insolvent and there is no money to pay ML.
50 tonnes of the gravel has already been used in
