This paper discusses the The Witness Security Program (WITSEC) which was created in the 1970s to protect, relocate, and provide new identities to witnesses of dangerous crimes. It examines how witness protection is one of the most useful and effective law enforcement tools that can be used in the fight against crime and in particular organized crime. It provides a definition of who is eligible for protection and the requirements to enter the program.

History of Organized Crime in the U.S. (1950-Present)
The Witness Protection Program
Eligibility and Requirements for Induction into the Witness Protection Program

Successes of the Witness Protection Program
The Downside of the Witness Protection Program
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Many countries around the world have a witness protection program. In most cases, the witnesses are for drug, International Criminal Tribunal cases and criminal related charges. United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Italy, Germany and the Netherlands are some of the countries that have a witness protection program. The United States, Canada and Australia have legislature for formal protection programs and dedicated officials who are involved in the program. In the United Kingdom, however, the local police are charged with the protection of the witnesses. The police rely on trained officers to provide witness ad hoc support. In Germany, there are no specific legal provisions to protect witnesses against organized crime."

Generic Competence in Literature, 2005.
This paper discusses the importance of generic competence in understanding Agatha Christie's mystery "Witness for the Prosecution" and Angela Carter's fairy tale "The Tiger's Bride".

Abstract
This paper explains that generic competence refers to the ability of the reader to understand the implied language, the setting and the period of time of a specific genre that has its own system of codes, called generic repertoire with which the reader has to be familiar to fully understand the meaning of the story. The author points out that every mystery story, such as Agatha Christie's "Witness for the Prosecution", contains an enigma that must be solved by the protagonist; the reader must have the generic competence to understand all the information that is given by the narrator. The paper relates that the reader's generic competence of the fairy tales includes the knowledge of its origin, characters, moral role and related primary fairy tales; Angela Carter's "The Tiger's Bride" contains a moral role; therefore, the implied reader must look for a message inside the story.
From the Paper
""The Tiger's Bride" has a strong connection to other fairy tales such as "Cupid and Psyche", "Beauty and The Beast" and "The Courtship of Mr. Lyon". The importance of generic competence here is the primary readings of the related fairy tales, in order to be able to see the similarity and difference between them all. In all four stories the most important similarity is that they all involved the sacrificing of a daughter by her father. In "The Tiger's Bride" the father had lost his daughter in a card game and she therefore must go with the beast. There is also the mention of a lamb- " ...where the lion lies down with the lamb" (51), "The tiger will never lie down with the lamb" (64). The implied reader's generic competence relates the lamb with the sacrificing of Isaac in the Bible. Isaac's father, Abraham, was about to sacrifice him to god but in the end he didn't and instead a lamb was sacrificed."

Abstract

Introduction
History of Jehovah Witness
Jehovah Witness Beliefs
Distortion in this Cult
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The Jehovah's Witnesses deem themselves to be Christians because they believe they are serving the true and living God. Like many cults, they think they are the only true church on earth. Yet, they reject the Trinity, the deity of Christ, the personhood of the Holy Spirit, Jesus' physical resurrection, and salvation by grace through faith. The Jehovah's Witnesses are dispirited from looking into Jehovah's Witness history or old Watchtower literature which is replete with contradictions, altered doctrines, and false prophecies. Instead, they are instruct repeatedly against basic Christian doctrines (Trinity, deity of Christ, etc) and into the notion that they alone are the true servants of God and that all others are either in "Christendom" or simply unbelievers. Primarily, the Jehovah's Witness organization is a mind control organization that uses its people to pass out literature and send in "donations" to the headquarters in Brooklyn, New York."

Abstract
Using the case of Enron as a backdrop, this paper asks and answers several questions relating to the prosecution of management in corporate crime. The questions involve which laws are broken in the current cases at issue; whether prosecution should include accounting firms and the CFO, how much authority managers have in accounting activities, whether managers should be prosecuted if they had no role in the crime, whether prosecution is becoming a deterrent,and whether corporations are exempt from criminal prosecution?
From the Paper
"Recently, a number of headline-grabbing cases, such as the accounting fraud that existed at the Enron Corporation, have highlighted the role of management at various corporations and in the financial industry, in the commission of corporate crime. The role of accountants and the major corporate accounting firms, as well as the chief financial advisors of corporations and the management personnel whom may or may not be aware of illegal accounting activities, are now under strict scrutiny by the SEC."

Abstract

"Witness to Christ", 2004.
A review of the book, "Witness to Christ", by Dr. Stewart Custer.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses Custer's biblically-based, scholarly work, "Witness to Christ". The paper explains that Dr. Custer?s purpose in writing this book is to bring the reader close to the message, the culture, and experiences of the 1st century church as recorded in the "Book of Acts". The paper deduces that the book, "Witness to Christ", is a refreshing work, faithful to orthodox and fundamental Christian faith.
From the Paper
"Many who undertake to write on spiritual matters do so with an eye to explain spiritual matters in a way that is acceptable to modern man. For these authors, Jesus was a great man, but not the son of God. For this group, the early church was a group of misguided and overly enthusiastic groupies who needed a political leader with divine attributes, and the record of Jesus contained in the New Testament is nothing more than the embellished stories which they told each other in order to find comfort in their political and social misery. Not so for Dr. Stewart Custer. Dr. Custer?s treatment of the Book of Acts in his book Witness to Christ is a biblically based scholarly work which expounds on the record while honoring the identity of Christ as the Son of God, and God the son. For bible students who want to get to know the historical context of the early church, while at the same time building an orthodox, fundamental understanding of both the bible and the early church, this book is a powerful addition to a personal library."

Witness Protection Program, 2002.

Abstract
This paper argues that criminals in the Witness Protection Program currently commit few crimes, but low staffing may change this in the future. It begins by defining and explaining more about the actual program and who is entitled to this benefit. It discusses the history of the program - how it was originally started to protect mafia members and its current status. The paper finally looks at some controversial issues surrounding the program, including the cases of some witnesses who committed serious crimes while participating in the program. Includes an outline and annotated bibliography.
From the Paper
"The Witness Protection Program, where criminals guilty of crimes are given new identities and moved to new locations so they can testify against others without fear of reprisal, is a controversial approach to law enforcement because it releases known criminals into the community instead of sending them to prison. Criminals in the Witness Protection Program currently commit few crimes, but low staffing may change this in the future.
In order to gain convictions, prosecutors need persuasive evidence. When it comes to crimes committed by groups, such as by the Mafia or drug cartels, finding direct evidence may be difficult (SOC), and witnesses become important. Because these organizations retaliate viciously against anyone within their groups who testify against them, those with inside information often need special protection. Because of this problem, the Witness Protection Program was started."

Witness Protection Program, 2002.
Discussing the history, characteristics and necessity of the Federal Witness Protection Program .
1,520 words (approx. 6.1 pages), 7 sources, MLA, $ 50.95
»

Abstract
This paper begins by describing the history of the Federal Witness Protection Program and why it was first necessary to institute such a policy. An examination of the content of the law is provided with quotes from the law itself. The paper then relates famous cases of people who witnessed against organized criminals and then describes how the system works and its implemented. It concludes with examining the necessity of the program today.
From the Paper
"The Federal Witness Protection Program was created in response to the dangers faced by witnesses who testified against organized crime. Americans are familiar with the program largely through media presentations showing individuals who are in the program, many of them ex-mobsters themselves who turned state's witness and then needed a new identity. A film such as GoodFellas shows how this works. The film is based on the book by Nicholas Pileggi, Wiseguy, and that book is told in the first person by the man who lived the actual events recounted, Henry Hill, for forty years a gangster associated with a New York crime family. Hill started as a young boy who admired the gangsters in his neighborhood in New York in the 1950s and aspired to be one, and in the end he defected to protect himself from prosecution and testified against his friends in the mob in the 1980s. He now lives under the witness protection program with an assumed identity, and he told his story to Pileggi, who wrote a detailed account of Hill's years with organized crime, an account that also revealed much about the workings of organized crime, the members of the gangs, the people who tolerate and even assist them, and both the perceived advantages and limitations of being a member of organized crime."

?Black Witness to the Apostolic Faith?, 2002.

Abstract
This paper examines the collection of essays known as ?Black Witness to the Apostolic Faith? edited by David Shannon and Gayraud S. Wilmore about black and apostolic churches. It looks at how the purpose of the book is to find common ground among black Apostolic Christians and to expand their influence in the Christian and non-Christian world. It discusses how the editors believe that black Christian writers and theologians have not had the attention they deserve in the world of Christianity partly as a result of the racism of the past, which has left much power in white hands and less power in black hands. It evaluates how it seeks to take away the distortions of the Christian message which blacks were given by whites in the days of slavery.
From the Paper
"In other words, in the bigger picture it should be all Christians, black and white and others, who come together in their common faith. The "confession' the authors write about is not only confession of sins but confession of faith, and that common confession can bring people together only if all sins are confessed and only if the confessor sees God as bigger than his own fears and prejudices. Wilmore is not saying that blacks should hate whites, but that whites must look at the past and accept what they did, just as blacks have had to look at the past and face what was done to them. To these Christian writers, it is God and Jesus Christ Who have allowed them to survive that past and to come out of their experiences with love and forgiveness in their hearts."

This paper examines the legal issues facing the prosecution of terrorists.

Abstract
The paper discusses how terrorist attacks have changed the face of prosecution today. The paper shows how as the nation moves more deeply into the 21st century and the age of terrorism, it will need to step carefully through the landmine of civil rights and other protections while still targeting and eradicating terrorist crime. The paper maintains that the people of America should feel secure that when terrorists are caught they will be vigorously dealt with.
From the Paper
"For many years, Americans lived in the security of knowing that they were safe from terrorism within this nation's boundaries. They believed that other countries were afraid to attack and for years they built up a false sense of security that it would never happen here. The events of 9-11 brought that sense of security to screeching halt and today, Americans find themselves in the same predicament of many other countries when it comes to acts of terrorism against their nation.
The prosecution of terrorists is a topic that has taken on heated elements in recent years, because it is no longer a theoretical debate, but an actual one."

Abstract
Culture is one of the defining concepts of nursing and is becoming more of an issue as demographics and population shift in the United States. If nurses are to provide truly holistic care, they must be prepared to cross the cultural divide and care for patients in the manner that they prefer. Understanding that there is vast diversity within every cultural group, nurses must rise above the stereotypes of any particular culture. Cultural and spiritual assessment is an important step towards providing safe, effective care with optimal outcomes. This paper discusses this point of view through the case study of a Cuban Jehovah's Witness.
Outline:
Introduction
Literature Review
Cultural Assessment
Client History/Overview
Communications
Family Roles and Organization
Biocultural Ecology
High-Risk Behaviors
Nutrition
Pregnancy and Childbearing Practices
Death Rituals
Health Care Practices
Health Care Practitioners
Spiritual Assessment
F: Faith or Beliefs
I: Importance and Influence
C: Community
A: Address/Application
Summary
From the Paper
" Rice and beans provide the staple of the diet at home. It is customary for them to have bread at every meal. Salads are rarely served. Yucca and fried plantains are served with meals at least three times per week. In order for her to feel cared for, IH would desire a visit from the dietician. She does not really like vegetables and prefers her meals to be mostly carbohydrates. IH purchases and prepares all of the meals for her family. Cooking is not considered the males role. They do eat at restaurants occasionally on the weekends. Restaurant food choices include Mexican, Italian, and Chinese. They abstain from foods containing blood, which results in a predominately vegetarian diet. Fish is acceptable. Her dietary patterns would be highly considered in her care planning. She would be offended if she was served the traditional regular hospital breakfast of bacon and eggs."
