Criminology Serial killers are the product of nature: people say that they are born to kill

Criminology Serial killers are the product of nature: people say that they are born to kill. But, their acts can equally be blamed on environmental and other factors. Briefly discuss this statement. Always give reasons (and quote a relevant study or authority, if any) for what you say. (b) Criminal Procedure and Evidence Giles is a farmer and he has a problem with sparrows eating his crops so he decides to use his high powered rifle to kill some of the sparrows. Giles aims his rifle at a sparrow and fires -the bullet misses but hits the back rotor of a low flying helicopter causing it to crash with the result the pilot is killed. A rambler witnesses what happened and the police are called to Giles farm house. PC Alexander and PC Clay arrive at Giles farmhouse and immediately handcuff him and put him in the police car and take him to the police station. At the police station Giles tells the custody officer he wants his wife to be informed about his arrest. The custody officer replies that he will soon be interviewed and that his wife will be given the information after the interview. Although Giles has a weak right leg, which he tells PC Clay about, he is not allowed to sit down during the interview. Instead, PC Clay tells him: Just admit that you killed the helicopter pilot in cold blood and you can sit down. Giles then says: Okay, I killed him alright although it was an accident. Later at his trial, before Giles is convicted of murder, the Judge directs the Jury as follows: Based on the evidence you have heard, if you think the accused did kill the victim with malice aforethought, then you must return a verdict of murder. Discuss the issues of criminal procedure and evidence in this scenario. 2.

(Word limit: 750 words) (b) Family Law Family is presently a term that is of limited legal significance[M]uch effort has been made in attempting a legal definition of marriage, parent and parenthood; but relatively few cases have defined a family. However, following the Human Rights Act 1998 and the importance of the right to respect for family life, the concept of family will grow in significance. (per Herring, Family Law, 4th ed at p.2) Discuss the issues that can be used to help provide a definition of the family at law. 3.

This appears to be centred on the South Coast of Engand. Specifically the source appears to be a factory somewhere in Shirley, Southampton.
