Criminal Procedure

1 how would you asnwer this .At the federal level, sentences are largely determined by sentencing guidelines that determine the amount of jail time an offender will receive. At the state level, many legislatures have adopted “three strike” laws that require a three-time convicted felon to automatically receive a sentence of life without parole. Should the sentence for a crime be left up to the legislatures to determine, or should judges have more control over the sentences? Discuss the advantages and disadvantages to each approach.

2. how would you respond to this towards the question I believe that judges should have more control over sentences. The legislatures do not look at the circumstances regarding a case, and a three-strike law for having any three felony convictions seems completely wrong. Now if it was the same felony crime that they committed three different times, then three strikes sounds good to me. In Michigan, there is no three strikes law and the judges decide what the sentence is. An advantage to the three-strikes law would be more criminals will be locked up. A con would be that they are in prison for life even if it was not a violent crime that they committed. Allowing the judges to decide I believe has little to no disadvantage. An advantage of allowing a judge to decide would be that they will be able to review the defendant’s complete case history and maybe even mental health history before handing down a sentence. CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS ESSAY!!!!

Emerging markets

Case;

According to a report published by the HSBC Bank in 2010, “Countries with young, entrepreneurial and well-connected populations like Ghana and Ethiopia have particularly strong commitments to change and therefore big opportunities to pursue speedy growth… Meanwhile in South America, Argentina’s trade has jumped by more than 10% since 2000 and Brazil’s by more than 50%." As a business makes the decision to enter a new market, it is important that it does the research necessary to ensure that the expansion will be beneficial for both parties. After reviewing the resources for this week, respond to the following:

Question;

Your company is planning to expand its business and wants to do so into an emerging market. Upper management has selected a country and in your position as head of the planning committee, you have been asked to make a recommendation as to the viability of doing business in that country. For this scenario, you must select one of the BRIC countries (i.e., Brazil, Russia, India or China) as the location you are to evaluate, but do not choose your own country if it is one of these. For the country you have selected, research and analyse the demographic, economic, socio-cultural and political-legal factors that your firm would need to consider if expanding into this particular market. CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS ESSAY!!!!
Which factors could create the most risk for doing business in your selected country and how would you mitigate that risk?

The research described in this study directly challenges the presumption that multinational corporations distribute their research and development activities hierarchically. This paper examines how, rather than assign advanced technology duties to advanced industrialised countries and low-end, routine work to developing countries, corporations combine the two through the emergence of research and development centres in Beijing.
