No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781916698581 Law Brief Publishing

A practical guide to legal professionals on the topic of county lines, with a particular focus on the criminal law implications for individuals involved in cases of human trafficking and exploitation. The development of the law in this area, particularly since the passing of the Modern Slavery Act in 2015, is both interesting but also necessary knowledge for any practitioner instructed in a county lines case.

There are chapters providing an overview of county lines operations, a breakdown of the criminal offences that arise out of county lines investigations, guidance on the potential defences available for victims of exploitation and the relevant sentencing principles and ancillary orders. The author sets out the various practical issues faced by those instructed in county lines cases with the aim of assisting practitioners at every stage of proceedings.

Past Predicts the Future:: Criminal History
<p>The focus of this report is the 25,431 U.S. citizen federal offenders released from prison or placed on probation in calendar year 2005. Recidivism refers to a person's relapse into criminal behavior, often after the person receives sanctions or undergoes interventions for a previous crime. Recidivism is typically measured by criminal acts that resulted in the re-arrest, re-conviction, and/or re-incarceration of the offender over a specified period of time. Recent developments, particularly public attention to the size of the federal prison population and the cost of incarceration have refocused the Commission's interest on the recidivism of federal offenders. This report takes into account chapters four and two of the Guidelines Manual (ISBN: 9780160934896) in establishing the Commission's methods for evaluation. Scoring points for evaluation of the study group, and criminal history category identification. The Appendix comprised of tables and figures section offers the Study group's offender race, median age, re-conviction rates, re-incarceration rates, offenses categories, and more.</p><p>Related products: </p><p><b>United States Sentencing Commission Guidelines Manual 2016</b> is available here: https: //bookstore.gpo.gov/products/sku/052-070-07703-4</p><p><b>Alternative Sentencing in the Federal Criminal Justice System</b> is available here: https: //bookstore.gpo.gov/products/sku/052-070-07686-1?ctid=1103</p><p><b>Federal Probation: A Journal of Correctional Philosophy and Practice print subscription</b> available here: https: //bookstore.gpo.gov/products/sku/727-001-00000-0?ctid=</p><p><b>Take Charge of Your Future: Get the Education and Training You Need</b> can be found here: https: //bookstore.gpo.gov/products/sku/065-000-01446-7</p><p><b>Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, December 1, 2016</b> is available here: https: //bookstore.gpo.gov/products/federal-rules-criminal-procedure-2016</p>
