One reason that this legislation has not entirely been effective is that the introduction of PCSO’s has proven to be a costly initiative that is not always useful. PCSO’s do save the police time by dealing with minor crimes that much is not in dispute but the fact is that PCSO’s do not have the full powers of a constable. One advantage of PCSO’s is that they are able to deal with minor crimes such as anti-social behaviour which gives the police more time to deal with more serious offences. One disadvantage of PCSO’s is that they do not have the full powers of a constable and as a result it would be more efficient to just employ more police constables who would have full police powers instead of hiring PCSO’s. Because of this “The Norfolk constabulary …show more content…
An act sometimes has to be amended in order to change with the society that it’s been implemented into. An act also sometimes has to be made or amended in order to protect people in our society. An example of this is the Married Women's Property Act. This act was first introduced in 1870. It allowed women to be the legal owners of money they earned, and to inherit property. Prior to this Act, everything a woman owned or earned became her husband's property when she married. Revisions in 1882 and 1893 extended married women's rights. The 1964 revision allowed married women to keep half of any savings they'd made from the allowance paid to them by their husbands. This gave women a little more financial independence, but also provided official recognition that many women were still dependent on their husbands for their income in the first place. another example of this is the Race Relations Act 1968.The Race Relations Act 1968 was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom making it illegal to refuse housing, employment, or public services to a person on the grounds of colour, race, ethnic or national origins. This act was then amended by the race relations amendment act of 2000 which was then repealed in 2010 to make way for the equality
The Civil Rights Act of 1991 prohibits all discrimination in employment based on race, gender, color, religious, or ethnic considerations. The Supreme Court wanted to modify the original Civil Rights Act of 1964 in response to Supreme Court decisions limiting the rights of employees who accused their employer of discriminating (Civil Rights Act of 1991 - Pub. L. 102-166). This act amended not only the Civil Rights Act of 1964, but also the Americans with Disabilities Act, of 1990, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, and the Civil Rights Act of 1866.
“Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex” (Document 15). This is part of the Equal Rights Amendment that was proposed. Unfortunately, it was never ratified. If it was, a lot of things could have changed for women. It might not have been ratified was because at the time men were in charge of the government and there were no women affiliated with it at all, which was what most men wanted.
On March 22, 1972, the US Senate passed the Equal Rights Amendment, banning discrimination and segregation based on sex. On July 28, 1868, the 14th Amendment was passed, stating that all persons born in the United States are considered citizens. There are many other laws and amendments that have been passed to show the fact that all men are created equal. People all across the world have been promoting equal rights for many years now, but we still see segregation everywhere. We have also seen segregation and discrimination in the books
The New South Wale’s police system have failed to meet the needs of its society due to the misuse and misconduct of its given powers. The police have a large amount of discretion
Women were restricted because they did not have as many opportunities as men. In the mid-nineteenth century, every state in the United States had passed the Married Women’s Property Acts. The Married Women’s Property Acts prohibited married women from owning any kind of property. This law seemed unjust to many women because it affected only them, yet they could not vote
In the 1800’s, women had very few options for career choices, and they were thought to be the property of their husbands. Society did not believe that women deserved the same respect, rights, and treatment as men. In 1860, largely as the result of her efforts, the New York State Married Women's Property Bill became law, allowing married women to own property, keep their wages, and have custody of their
Since our nation's birth various documents have been instated to expand and better protect the rights of the American people. According to the web page, “Primary Documents in American History” at the website www.loc.gov, it states the multiple reconstruction amendments and important documents to our nation's history, describing their significance and impact. In the website it describes how essential to equality that the 13th, 14th , and 15th amendment were past. The passing of these made the suffrage of colored people and minorities possible. No longer was it constitutional to own or undermined a man's rights based on his skin, but it wasn’t until the 19th amendment was passed in 1919 that equality started involving everyone. After this it gradually started broadening the opportunities of everyone regardless of race, gender, or age. Yes, it took time to get there, but there are many places that have been independent for centuries longer than us and still believe women are inferior or other cultures are
There would be more laws establishing different jail sentences, by gender (March 22, 1972). There would be much more standards when it came to boys and girls and their tax-supported educational institutions and different facilities and curriculums would also be added. If the amendment were to be enacted it would impose greater restrictions on women in business and laws that favor of child-custody and alimony cases. Therefore elucidating the impression that laws implying to more greater restrictions on a woman's right. For situations like a man who would buy or sell property or conduct a business.
There’s a clause called the Hayden Clause that was added to the Equal Rights Amendment in hopes that it would ease the process of becoming accepted. The clause stated that: "Nothing in this Amendment will be construed to deprive persons of the female sex of any of the rights, benefits, and exemptions now conferred by law on persons of the female sex." Since people wanted full
The Civil Rights act is now applied to disabled people under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Some people did not like this
The Married Women’s Property Act of 1870 is finally giving married women the right to legally own their own money that they obtain, and it also allows married women to inherit property. Before this Act was passed, married women were not considered as separate individuals by the law. However, single and widowed women were considered as separate legal beings who could own their own property. So why did marriage strip away and limit women's rights when it is only the joining of hands? Married women could not perform any legal action without their husband's consent and approval. In the 1850s, a group of women led by Barbara Leigh Smith Bodichon campaigned for the law to be passed with no success, and a few years ago the attempt was rekindled that
Safety is a fundamental right that we all deserve. Most of us rely on the government to provide this security. We pay for this through taxes, but the question that we must ask ourselves is are we getting what we are paying for? By paying our taxes to the government we are giving it the authority to choose the service we are getting back. The Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE) is an Act of Parliament which instituted a legislative
The Equal Rights Amendment’s main focus previously was civil rights being denied based off of their sex. SInce the late 1900’s
In the novel, Things Fall Apart, by Chinua Achebe, Okonkwo and other Igbo should be concerned about imperialism; they should not embrace imperialism as a welcome change. To begin, Okonkwo is one of the strongest men and is a control freak and he accidentally kills someone and is banished for 7 years. “Okonkwo had committed the female, because it had been inadvertent. He could return to the clan after seven years”(Achebe 105).
The argument for passing it was that it protected married women and their children from irresponsible husbands.Later on in 1860, 14 states had passed the same version of the statute. 29 states had passed the same version of the Married Women’s Property act by the end of the civil war.
