A:The way to conduct such a study is to enact and enforce stricter laws then wait and see what happens. With the current focus on gun massacres such as in the Newtown school, it is instructive to see just what happened when Australia enacted and enforced stricter laws. Australia had a few massacres up to and including the 1997 Port Arthur massacre, but then did two things: i) tightened the laws; and ii) instituted a buyback that took a large percentage of guns off the streets. As of December 2012, Australia has not had a gun massacre in the years since. Of course not all crimes involve use of guns, but this is evidence of success n terms of reducing mass shootings.

I also saw a graph of gun-related deaths per capita vs. gun ownership per capita in OECD countries. Only one nation exceeded the USA in terms of gun deaths to population. The USA was well clear of the others, both in number of guns and gun deaths, and there was a general correlation of deaths with gun ownership (Mexico excluded). This correlation is strong enough to demonstrate that guns mean gun deaths.

How is a search warrant related to probable cause in the legal system?

A search warrant is related to probable cause in the legal system because it is a court order that allows law enforcement to search a specific location for evidence of a crime. In order to obtain a search warrant, law enforcement must demonstrate to a judge that there is probable cause to believe that evidence of a crime will be found in the location to be searched. Probable cause is a legal standard that requires a reasonable belief that a crime has been committed or that evidence of a crime will be found in the location to be searched.

What is the different between being convicted and being charged with a crime?

Being charged with the crime is a formal accusation by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS- In England and Wales) that you have committed a crime. In the USA, the law enforcement or prosecutor charges I am led to believe. Same principle however. *It certainly does not mean you are guilty, and everyone is innocent until proven guilty by a court of law. It then has to go to court for a conviction or acquittal (guilty or not guilty) Thus, a conviction is basically a finding of guilt for the charge by the court (who represent the state and the community at large) that you have committed a crime and are to be punished for such offence, this is sentencing.


Can you provide examples of DNA comparison in forensic investigations and how it helps in solving crimes?

DNA comparison in forensic investigations involves analyzing DNA samples collected from crime scenes and comparing them to DNA samples from potential suspects. This process helps in identifying individuals involved in a crime and linking them to the evidence found at the scene. For example, if DNA from a suspect matches DNA found at the crime scene, it can provide strong evidence linking the suspect to the crime. This scientific method has been instrumental in solving crimes such as murders, sexual assaults, and burglaries by providing crucial evidence to law enforcement agencies.
