How Are Teens Affected? Young people are at risk for contracting HIV and developing AIDS. According to CDC, about 38,490 young people age 13 to 24 in the United States had been diagnosed with AIDS by the end of 2003. And the trend was increasing-from 3.9 percent diagnosed with AIDS in 1999 to 4.7 percent in 2003. In youth, as in adults, some populations are disproportionately affected. African Americans age 13 to 19 represent only 15 percent of the U.S. teenage population, but accounted for 66 percent of new AIDS cases in 2003. The reasons for this disparity are not completely understood; in fact, African American youth have lower rates of drug abuse than Whites and Hispanics. This remains a strong research priority area for NIDA. In general, middle and late adolescence is a time when young people engage in risk-taking and sensation-seeking-behaviors that may put them in jeopardy of contracting HIV.
not courts. The clear distinction between legislature and judiciary has weakened in many counties as the courts are able to challenge the legality of a law made by parliament. Lawmakers were often influenced by the canon law. Canon law had a stronger influence in countries with less secular ideology. 5. Civil law Civil law – the part of the legal system that relates to personal matters, such as marriage and property, rather than crime Public law – the area of law that deals with the relationship between the government and other organizations or between the government and the public Private law – the area of law that deals with disagreements between people or companies Family law – an area of the law that deals with matrimonial matters and domestic relations Plaintiff – someone who makes a legal complaint against someone else in court
Public International Law is a system of law, different from domestic law. Why is this system unique? Usually law regulates relations between people, people and the state etc, PIL regulates relations between states. Thats why PIL is important for international relation students. PIL influences the life of everybody, it doesn't regulate people directly but indirectly (through the decisions of the states), because it's everywhere. It's like air. E.g. when you want to send a letter to Brazil, you put a stamp from your own country and send it from your post office and the letter gets delivered. Why is this so easy, because there are certain international conventions that regulate postal services. E.g. traffic signs are almost the same everywhere, why? Because of certain int conventions that require the states to have more or less unified traffic signs. States apply international regulations to national regulations and they have to be in accordance with each other, the s

Social Problems Crime In the sociological field, crime is the breach of a rule or law for which some governing authority or force may ultimately prescribe a punishment. The word crime originates from the Latin crimen. When society deems informal relationships and sanctions insufficient to create and maintain a desired social order, there may result more formalized systems of social control imposed by a government, or more broadly, by a State. With the institutional and legal machinery at their disposal, agents of the State can compel individuals to conform to behavioural codes and punish those that do not

commit crimes is taken away by moral reformation. Thirdly, the culprit can be deterred, where it is possible that the desire to commit crimes still exists but the fear of doing so would be too great because the possibility by a certain punishment is too intimidating (Twinning, 1973). The punishment has to be accompanied by as much disadvantage as advantage. It also has to correspond to the preventive considerations. The severity of the punishment must be proportional to the damage the crime caused (Ibid.). Alan Dershowitz' (2002) vision states that the simple cost-efficiency analysis for resorting to illegal torture seems overbalanced: it is certainly better to inflict illegal pain to one guilty terrorist who is illegally holding back important information that could help us avoid a terrorist act than to allow a big amount of innocent people to die. Pain is a lesser and repairable damage than death; and the lives of a thousand innocent people
