3. Punishment ought in no case to be more than what is necessary to Bring it into conformity with the rules here give–This rule marks out the limits on the maximum side, while the previous three concern the minimum side. Bentham argues that while the danger of erring on the minimum side is greater, tendency to err of most men in on the maximum side, tendency to over-punish.  Thus more precautions should be taken with regard to maximum punishments.  This is because punishment is, in and of itself, an evil. And we ought to be careful to admit that evil only when it prevents a greater evil.  So there are times when we should not punish.
 
Consider the following questions:
1. When the punishment is groundless: where there’s no evil for it to prevent.
2. When it can’t prevent further evil.
3. When the evil it would produce is greater than what it prevented.
4. When it is needless: where the mischief may be prevented, or cease itself, without it: that is at a cheaper rate.

The text below is what they want out of our reports and i also attached a pdf they gave us explaining the structure they want and how reports should be in terms of content etc i thought it might help give u an idea cause its a uni report and their expectations are specific.
(I have attached how the report should like as this assignment is a report and not an essay)
The Report asks you to look at a specific area of police research and demonstrate an understanding of how police scholars have developed either a conceptual or empirical research agenda to better understand police work. You should be able to evidence an understanding of how the area has been researched, debates that may have arisen between researchers, and difficulties or challenges that are evident in researching these topics. For the Report you need to demonstrate a clear assessment and understanding of the relevant literature. As the Report is only 1000 words you will need to be concise.
The Report is designed to enable you to achieve two of the learning objectives for the module:
*Demonstrate knowledge and critical understanding of empirical research on policing, and;
*Evaluate evidence from criminological studies of policing, including the strengths, weaknesses and limitations of these studies
Guidance
To guide you in writing your Report, it may be useful to consider the following questions in relation to your chosen topic.
*Why have police scholars considered this topic important?
*How have police scholars researched the topic?
*What are the scholarly debates and/or developments in research in relation to your chosen topic?

Short Paper on Law Enforcement Responses to Persons with Mental Illnesses in Cri

Short Paper on Law Enforcement Responses to Persons with Mental Illnesses in Crises (24 pts.)
I have attached a PDF of a chapter on “The Law Enforcement Response to Persons with Mental Illnesses in Crises.” See Slate, R.N., K. Frailing, W.W. Johnson, and J.K. Buffington (2021). The Criminalization of Mental Illness. Crisis and Opportunity for the Justice System. 3rd. ed. Durham: Carolina Academic Press. Chapter 5-LEO and mental illness.pdf
Your writing assignment is to read that chapter to learn lessons about policing and mental illness and to extend those lessons using the case of Taylor Ware.
You will find a video regarding the case starting at the 38:37 timestamp and ending at 48:04 in the Documenting Police Use of Force Frontline video assigned in Module 2 (LInk to Documenting Police Use of Force frontline video.docx ).
For further details, see the AP story at: A mom called 911 to get her son mental health help. He died after police responded with force | AP NewsLinks to an external site..
Note that this case was chosen because Ware’s death could have been prevented even if the officers involved were not (and probably could not have been) criminally charged for it. Moreover, the coroner’s report diminishes the likelihood of a civil lawsuit against any of the parties involved.
Identify and briefly discuss the 3 factors raised in the Slate et al. chapter (other than the mental illness crisis itself) that you think contributed to the unwanted death of Taylor Ware. Cite the page number from the chapter for each factor you present. Be sure to provide reasons why you think each was important. 6 pts. Target length: 3 paragraphs
Identify and discuss 4 issues presented in the Slate et al. chapter about training that could reduce the likelihood of this kind of unwanted outcome when officers deal with persons with mental illness crises. 8 pts. Target length: 4 paragraphs
Describe one of the specialized police/mental health approaches reviewed in the Slate et al. chapter and then discuss how two of its features would result in a different response to the Ware interaction (and/or how it could have produced a different outcome). 6 pts. Target length: 3 or so paragraphs.
Apply information found in Slate et al. to the issue of confidentiality of investigation reports presented in the Ware case. Does the federal law on confidentiality of medical matters apply to the Ware case to the investigation report? Why or why not (cite to the Slate et al. chapter). B. How can confidentiality be dysfunctional in developing best practices for dealing with mentally ill citizens? 2 pts. Target length: 2 or so sentences on A and on B for a total of 4 or so sentences.
Go online and learn more about current medical thinking regarding “excited delirium.” Summarize that information and cite your source and provide 1 reason to establish that you used a credible and up-to-date reference. Then, briefly discuss how that “diagnosis” affects accountability and interferes with changing police procedures. 2 pts. Target length: 2 paragraphs (one to summarize the information and the credibility of your reference, and one to discuss the accountability and change issue)

1. Do you respect the police? Why, why not? Explain your answer.
Critical thinking questions.
2. Stacey Raines drives from Indianapolis to Fort Wayne, Indiana, twice a month as part of her job as a sales representative for a pharmaceutical company. Although the posted speed limit is 65 miles per hour, Stacey generally cruises at 80 to 85, intentionally exceeding the speed limit.
a. Which theory or theories of crime causation best explains the behavior of intentional speeders? Explain your answer. Note: Refer to chapter three).
b. What crime prevention and correctional polices should be used with intentional speeders? Explain your answer. (Note: Refer to chapter three).
3. An off-duty police officer was seated in a restaurant when two men entered, drew guns, and robbed the cashier. The officer made no attempt to prevent the robbery or apprehend the robbers. Later, the officer justified the conduct by stating that an officer, when off duty, is a private citizen with the same duties and rights as all private citizens.
a. Do you agree? Why, why not? Explain your answer. (Note: Refer to chapter 5).
You must restate the question/scenario prior to answering the questions in-depth, not just “one liners.” Your grade will determine on how much information you provide in answering the question. You must use a minimum of four (4) citations and cite them (citations must be in black no other color, and date retrieved/accessed indicated): if not 1- 5 points deducted. You must use times new roman: If not 1-5 points deducted; 12 font: If not 1-5 points deducted; double space: If not 1- 5 points deducted. I will deduct 1-5 points if you do not adhere to the format, and, if you do not restate the question prior to providing your answer: 1-5 points will be deducted. Punctuation, spelling, grammatical errors: 1-5 points deducted. Place it in the canvas assignment section

What Do You Do If Your Client Intends to Lie Under Oath?
An important strategic decision for any criminal defense attorney and their client during any trial is whether the client will testify. Based on the constitutional protections afforded criminal defendants, no defendant in a criminal case can be compelled to give testimony against him or herself. However, some criminal defendants may want to provide testimony in support of their defense.
Attorneys and their non-attorney staff members must abide by the Rules of Professional Conduct adopted by their state. Most states have based their adopted rules on the American Bar Association’s Model Rules of Professional Conduct. Read ABA Model Rule 3.3 and its comment.
Imagine that you are a criminal defense attorney. While you are preparing your client to testify, you learn that your client intends to lie under oath. What steps do you have to take next? What do you think about this rule?

Assignment 2 (1/2 page) Ask a question to Kadacia (150 words minimum) Cite one reference
As a criminal defense attorney, learning that a client intends to lie under oath creates a serious ethical quandary. According to ABA Model Rule 3.3 (n.d.), an attorney has a responsibility of candor to the tribunal, which implies that they cannot intentionally allow misleading evidence or testimony to be offered in court. If I learn that my client intends to lie on the stand, my first action would be to counsel him against perjury, stressing the legal and ethical ramifications. It is vital to emphasize that lying under oath may result in additional criminal charges, weaken credibility, and jeopardize their defense. If the client insists on perjury, I am expected to take additional steps to prevent false testimony, including potentially resigning from representation if needed. However, per Hall (2022), withdrawal is not always granted because of the prejudice of the client, both in the eyes of the jury and because it leaves the client without counsel at a critical time in trial (p. 500).
I believe Rule 3.3 is crucial to the integrity of the judicial process. While a defense attorney’s primary obligation is to defend their client, this advocacy must adhere to the law. Allowing misleading testimony jeopardizes the fairness of the trial while also undermining public trust in the legal system. Although it may appear that this regulation puts attorneys in difficult situations, it assures that justice is pursued in accordance with ethical guidelines.

Assignment 3 Ask a question to Yohana (150 words minimum) Cite one reference
Lawyers must defend their clients zealously, but allowing the client or the witness to lie in trial will be like assisting one of his clients in committing a crime. Lying at trial is known as perjury and is punishable by the law. Therefore, if the attorney knows that his client, or a witness for his client, is thinking about lying in court, he needs to consider the ABA Ethical Model Rule 3.3, inform his client of the consequences of lying, and explain to the client how lying will only hurt his/her case as well as informing the tribunal of the untruthful information. Most lawyers and judges know when a client is lying, and once they catch a client or witness lying, their testimony will be questionable, potentially hurting the outcome of the client’s case. Also, suppose the attorney knows the client is lying, and the truth emerges. In that case, that attorney’s reputation, character, and professionalism will be at risk, as well as his relationship with his clients and his credibility in court, among other things.
The ABA Model Rules protect the client and the attorney and ensure that lawyers follow the rules of conduct to ethically and rightfully defend their clients. Rule 3.3 of the ABA Model Rule is excellent because it establishes the steps an attorney needs to take if he suspects that one of his clients or witnesses is about to commit the crime of perjury.
