Download or read book A Colorado DUI in 2014 A Guide Through the First Timer s Experience written by Jeffrey Craig Hoskins and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-07-14 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The day after being handcuffed and arrested for a DUI this past fall in Colorado I spent many hours online and talking to friends and family, trying to figure out exactly how much trouble I had gotten myself into. Like I imagine you were the day after your arrest, I was incredibly worried, annoyed, and bummed out that it had even happened. I wanted to know exactly how I was going to successfully navigate the difficult and lengthy steps that lay ahead. Unfortunately, what I primarily found online were DUI attorney's unnecessarily trying to scare and sell me into hiring them for $2,000, government websites that gave me way too much information that didn't directly relate to my situation (as a first time offender), and blogs that offered up frequently inaccurate and incomplete information. At the end of the day, I pretty much had no idea what I would have to do to become square with the law again, hopefully as soon as possible. Finally, deciding not to hire a DUI attorney, I represented myself. I eventually had the charges reduced from a DUI to a DWAI, my total costs were a third of what I initially thought they would be (people often quote $10,000), and I kept detailed notes of the nearly year-long process. It is that experience that you will find in this easy-to-read guide on how to successfully navigate a DUI in Colorado (and very possibly in other states as well), told from my direct experience. There is also a chapter of my somewhat lengthy and personal partying and driving history that puts my DUI into its proper context, and possibly partially reflects your story as well. It is a great opportunity for you to personally reflect on the poor decisions that led up to you being pulled over that day, and how to become a much more responsible "social" person in the future. If this is your first DUI, and your case is simple and straight forward -- that you went out partying one night, drank too much, drove home, no accidents were involved, and you got pulled over and arrested, then this guide will significantly help you keep your overall costs low. It will also give you peace of mind in very closely knowing what lies ahead. You are now in a much larger community than you may at first realize.

Download or read book The Arizona DUI Handbook written by Scott David Stewart and published by 602 Law Group. This book was released on 2017-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arizona DUI Handbook provides the tools to begin asserting constitutionally protected rights in preparation for criminal court proceedings. Drivers accused of DUI are sometimes convinced they have no hope of winning their case. They give up without a fight. They never present an adequate defense. They accept plea agreements when they could have won at trial. They hire inexperienced lawyers at a reduced rate believing they're going to lose regardless. Many people attempt to save money by not hiring a lawyer, which is worse. They do not know their rights. They do not understand where and when those rights apply. And because they do not aggressively assert their rights, the results are often unfair, unjust, and sadly permanent. This book provides the essentials of Arizona DUI defense.
Download or read book TIP 35 Enhancing Motivation for Change in Substance Use Disorder Treatment Updated 2019 written by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivation is key to substance use behavior change. Counselors can support clients' movement toward positive changes in their substance use by identifying and enhancing motivation that already exists. Motivational approaches are based on the principles of person-centered counseling. Counselors' use of empathy, not authority and power, is key to enhancing clients' motivation to change. Clients are experts in their own recovery from SUDs. Counselors should engage them in collaborative partnerships. Ambivalence about change is normal. Resistance to change is an expression of ambivalence about change, not a client trait or characteristic. Confrontational approaches increase client resistance and discord in the counseling relationship. Motivational approaches explore ambivalence in a nonjudgmental and compassionate way.

Book excerpt: "[The report] finds that supervision -– probation and parole -– drives high numbers of people, disproportionately those who are Black and brown, right back to jail or prison, while in large part failing to help them get needed services and resources. In states examined in the report, people are often incarcerated for violating the rules of their supervision or for low-level crimes, and receive disproportionate punishment following proceedings that fail to adequately protect their fair trial rights."--Publisher website.
Download or read book Democracy and Education written by John Dewey and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1916 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.

This book was released on 2022-01-31 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Methods in Criminal Justice and Criminology connects key concepts to real field research and practices using contemporary examples and recurring case studies throughout the book that demonstrate how concepts relate to students’ lives. Authors Callie M. Rennison and Timothy C. Hart introduce practical research strategies used in criminal justice to show students how a research question can become a policy that changes or influences criminal justice practices. The book’s student-driven approach addresses both the "why" and the "how" as it covers the research process and focuses on the practical application of data collection and analysis. By demonstrating the variety of ways research can be used, and reinforcing the need to discern quality research, the book prepares students to become critical consumers and ethical producers of research. The Second Edition includes two new case studies woven throughout, and new expert profiles to highlight contemporary topics. Editable PowerPoint slides and a test bank are available to instructors.
