Policing Sexual Assault
Policing Sexual Assault provides a detailed account of current police practice in the UK in response to sexual assault. The authors use case studies and interviews to find out why when the number of rape cases has almost trebled since 1985, the proportion of cases resulting in a conviction has dropped from 24% to 8.6%. Chapters cover: an overview of existing research police culture police recording practices the role of the Crime Prosecution Service male rape analysis of the judicial process interviews with complainants and first-hand accounts of their experiences proposals for reform. The authors place their findings within the context of theoretical debates about domestic and sexual violence and examine the gap between official condemnations of male violence, as enshrined in law, and the realities of the victims' (male and female) experiences - whereby the violence is too often condoned.
The Law, Paralysed
Based on accessible information, it is the absolute truth that District Judge Ayers of Bedford County Court in Bedfordshire, England, could not spell the word, “emphasise” and/or did not know the meaning and correct grammatical employment of the words “emphasis” and “will.” A mistake is not impossible, but it should be less likely in a proof-read and approved judgment. A mistake should also be inversely proportional to rank and experience. “The report, by the OECD warns that the UK needs to take significant action to boost the basic skills of the nation’s young people. The 460-page study is based on the first-ever survey of the literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving at work ...

In a contemporary media-rich society, distance education is becoming increasingly indistinguishable from mainstream traditional methods. Contemporary students, too, have greater need than ever before for education that caters to their specific needs and hectic schedules. Outlooks and Opportunities in Blended and Distance Learning investigates the impact of the digital age on various methods of distance education, such as e-learning, virtual learning, online learning, and m-learning. Researchers, educators, and students currently engaged in or looking to implement distance education principles in their own practices will find a seminal reference collection exploring new methods of offering flexibility, accessibility, and freedom to students with a variety of educational backgrounds, situations, and needs.
Rise and Rise of Imbecile Lawyers
“The one great principle of English law is to make business for itself.” – Charles Dickens The legal trade is a very broad church (too broad) that admits geniuses and intellectual peasants alike. Parts of the legal trade seem to be illogical and a baseless (unscientific) SCAM! The bottom lawyers have sunk below the lowest basement level – just below the deepest sewers – while the top lawyers seem to have descended to the bottom from whence the previous bottom lawyers vacated. There is change, but there is no relative change, since top lawyers seem oblivious to the notion of relativity. Although the brightest students in law school did a lot of math and physics, they delude themselv...
The Judge Lied
The Judge Lied: True Story “Someone must be trusted, let it be the judges.” –Lord Denning “Transparent, equality, and EXACT laws.” – President Thomas Jefferson In recent years, there has been a rising crescendo of complaint over the legitimacy – sometimes even the honesty – of particular judicial conduct. From political conservatives come charges that judges are overriding the will of the people as expressed in statute and referenda relating to abortions, gay rights, affirmative action, religion, and other subjects. From political liberals come charges of bias against women, sexual misconduct, harshness towards the interest of minorities, and forced imposition of deeply conse...

The Encyclopedia of Female Pioneers of Online Learning is the first volume to explore the lives and scholarship of women who have prominently advanced online learning.

This landmark book details 30 preeminent female academics, including some of the first to create online courses, design learning management systems, research innovative topics such as discourse analysis or open resources, and speak explicitly about gender parity in the field. Offering comprehensive career profiles, original interviews, and research analyses, these chapters are illuminating on their own right while amounting to an essential combination of reference material and primary source.

Mediocre Great England
“He (Briton) is a barbarian, and believes that the customs of his tribe and Island are the laws of nature.” – George Bernard Shaw “The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.” – Sir Winston Churchill Corroborating the words of George Bernard Shaw, Sir Winston Churchill implied that the average Briton was indeed a moron. Also supporting Churchill’s observation is the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), which found that young adults in England are amongst the least literate and numerate in the industrialised world. Mediocre Great England, the latest book by Yinka Bamgbelu, criticizes the legal system in Brita...
Sandra Bland (Ewu nbe loko Longe, Longe paapa ewu ni)
“I hate a fellow whom pride, or cowardice, or laziness drives into a corner, and who does nothing when he is there but sit and growl; let him come out as I do, and bark.” – Dr Samuel Johnson You barked, but did legally. You, smoked, and did, legally too. You swore like a fisherman’s wife, but not illegally; came out of your car reluctantly. For all that you were forced out for eternity. “Too often the strong, silent man is silent only because he does not know what to say, and is reputed strong only because he has remained silent.” – Sir Winston Churchill In the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, it is suicidal to talk back to policemen. It shouldn’t be the same in the d...
