Download or read book Draft Corporate Manslaughter Bill written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Home Affairs Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2005-12-20 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This joint report by the Home Affairs Committee and the Work and Pensions Committee examines the Government's proposals to reform the law on corporate manslaughter, as set out in the draft Bill (Cm 6497, ISBN 010164972X) published in March 2005 for consultation. The report supports the introduction of the draft Bill to address the need for a statutory offence to shift the basis of liability for corporate manslaughter away from the requirement of identifying a 'directing mind' of a guilty company, since this 'identification principle' has made prosecutions of large companies almost impossible under the current common law. Issues discussed include: the application of the offence of corporate manslaughter in relation to corporations, government departments and police forces; issue of causation; the law of negligence, relevant duty of care and contractual relationships; management failure, the role of senior managers and gross breach; the removal of Crown immunity; territorial application of the offence; corporate sanctions; individual liability for directors; powers of investigation and prosecution, including the requirement to obtain the consent of the Director of Public Prosecutions before a private prosecution can be brought; and cost issues.

This book was released on 1967 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report of the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice -- established by President Lyndon Johnson on July 23, 1965 -- addresses the causes of crime and delinquency and recommends how to prevent crime and delinquency and improve law enforcement and the administration of criminal justice. In developing its findings and recommendations, the Commission held three national conferences, conducted five national surveys, held hundreds of meetings, and interviewed tens of thousands of individuals. Separate chapters of this report discuss crime in America, juvenile delinquency, the police, the courts, corrections, organized crime, narcotics and drug abuse, drunkenness offenses, gun control, science and technology, and research as an instrument for reform. Significant data were generated by the Commission's National Survey of Criminal Victims, the first of its kind conducted on such a scope. The survey found that not only do Americans experience far more crime than they report to the police, but they talk about crime and the reports of crime engender such fear among citizens that the basic quality of life of many Americans has eroded. The core conclusion of the Commission, however, is that a significant reduction in crime can be achieved if the Commission's recommendations (some 200) are implemented. The recommendations call for a cooperative attack on crime by the Federal Government, the States, the counties, the cities, civic organizations, religious institutions, business groups, and individual citizens. They propose basic changes in the operations of police, schools, prosecutors, employment agencies, defenders, social workers, prisons, housing authorities, and probation and parole officers.

Download or read book Privacy and injunctions written by Great Britain: Parliament: Joint Committee on Privacy and Injunctions and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2012-03-27 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report says Parliament should not introduce any new privacy statute. It concludes that in weighing the competing rights to privacy and freedom of expression, each case must be judged on its own merits. The bar for limiting freedom of expression must be set high, but the courts are now striking a better balance in dealing with applications for privacy injunctions. Criticism that privacy law has been "judge-made", noting that it evolved from the Human Rights Act is rejected. The Committee says the most important step towards improving protection of privacy is to provide for enhanced regulation of the media. The Press Complaints Commission lacked the power, sanctions or independence to be truly effective. Substantial changes to press regulation are needed to ensure that it encompasses all major news publishers including, in time, major bloggers. The Committee makes several recommendations including that the reformed regulator should: have access to a wider range of sanctions, including the power to fine; be cost-free to complainants; be able to determine the size and location of a published apology, and the date of publication; play a greater role in arbitrating and mediating privacy disputes. One possible mechanism the Committee suggests is for advertisers to agree to advertise only in publications that are members of the press regulator and subscribe to its rules. It also concludes that parliamentarians should ensure that material subject to an injunction is only revealed in Parliament when there is good reason to do so

Download or read book The Future of Policing written by Rodney Morgan and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This succinct, tightly-written book offers a critical examination of the key issues facing policing in modern Britain. Those issues can be summarised in the following way: how is the apparently insatiable demand by the public for more policing and better protection to be satisfied, given the continued limits on public spending; that there is concern that what the public demands may not have a significant effect on crime levels; and that further extension of police powers and the reach of the law could themselves have unwanted consequences. All these questions are posed and answered on the basis of the wealth of research and operational evidence gathered by the police service itself, the Home Office, and independent researchers.
