Restorative justice how does this differ from your criminal justice system?
Restorative Justice is really a theory on addressing offenders in the criminal justice system. It really focuses on repairing (hence restorative) the harm caused to the victim. This could be through community service or even mediation between the victim and the offender. While in the typical criminal justice models it is very offender focused, restorative justice has a larger focus on the victim and repairing the harm caused to the victim/ community instead of just punishing the offender.

Outline and discuss the concept of criminal intent?
INTENT - The determination or resolve to do a certain thing, or the state of mind with which something is done.
'Mens rea' is a Latin term meaning "guilty mind." It refers to the criminal intent that is necessary as an element to be proven in a crime. Many civil law claims also include some level of mens rea as a required element.
The four levels of mens rea/criminal intent set forth in the Model Penal Code are
(1) Purposely - Express purpose to commit a specific crime against a particular person. (2) Knowingly - Knowledge that one's actions would certainly result in a crime against someone, but did not specifically intend to commit that crime against the particular victim which one is accused of injuring. (3) Recklessly - Knew that one's actions had an unjustifiable risk of leading to a certain result, but did not care about that risk ("reckless disregard"), and acted anyway. (4) Negligently - Did not intend to cause the result that happened, but failed to exercise a reasonable duty of care to prevent that result (which includes failing to become aware of the risk of that result).
What is the punishment for police who commit perjury?
Any person, police officer or not, is liable to criminal prosecution if they commit perjury.
However, you should bear in mind some points:
-Perjury must usually be about a "material fact" of the case (something that would have a direct impact on the verdict)
-Perjury does not apply when a person merely gives an opinion or assessment of facts, so long as that opinion is sincerely held.
-Being "wrong" and refusing to admitit, or remembering events differently than other witnesses is not grounds for a perjury charge.
An example might help:
If a police officer states in court that he found drugs on you, but in reality he simply pulled a stash out of his trunk and claimed it was in your pocket, that is perjury. If the police officer claims you were originally stopped for speeding but you were actually stopped for running a red light, that is not "material" to the drug charge, and is therefore not perjury.

Is unauthorized use motor vehicle a felony or misdemeanor?
The only reason it could be a felony is when a habitual traffic offender with a suspended license operates a motor vehicle. Most other cases are misdemeanor.
I guess it must depend on what state you're in. I know for a fact that it's a class C felony in Oregon. It doesn't depend on whether your license is suspended or whether you've committed previous traffic offenses. It's not a traffic violation, it's a theft charge, so at least your insurance won't go up!
What sound drives the narrator to confess to the crime?
The sound that drives the narrator to confess the crime is a heart; (the heart of the man he killed or the his own?)
What is the difference between law major and criminal justice?
A "law major" is a college or university student who is majoring in the study of the law.
"Criminal Justice" is the overall term used to loosely describe the entire system encompassing crime deterrence, crime detection, criminal apprehension, law enforcement, court, and corrections.
The best course to study is the one that leads to your overall career goals and objectives. Thus, I would imagine you do not have anything specific at this time. So many individuals enroll in college programs without a specific goal in mind. As such, many become miserable in their work which is not good for them, or their employer. If you want to be successful in your work and personal life, carefully consider the following.
To be successful in your work, you must acquire a vision. A vision is a clearly articulated picture of the future you intend to create for yourself. In other words, it's a dream. However, if the dream does not have direction, it will always remain a dream and will never become a reality for you. That vision should create a passion within you, a love for what you do and the benefit it will bring to others as well as yourself. Make sure the vision is specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and tangible. Let us look at this closer. When you believe you have chosen an appropriate career goal, look at it in SMART fashion as follows.
- Specific - Make sure your career goal is very specific. For example, "I would like to be a teacher," is not specific. "I would like to be a high school biology teacher in New Jersey (USA) in an urban school by 2012" is.
- Measurable - Make sure you can measure your progress. How will I know I am progressing in the right direction? This is where the development of short-term objectives comes in (discussed below). You will know you are on the right path as you accomplish each short -term objective.
- Achievable - Is the goal achievable considering my current life situation and circumstances?
- Realistic - Is what I want to do really realistic. For example, "I would like to be a middle weight boxing champion, and I am 63 years old." That is not realistic.
- Tangible - What will I - specifically - have at the end? What will I be (exactly)? It must be very specific.
Once you acquire that vision your path will become clear. Still, you will need a mentor, counselor, or coach who will be able to help you develop a road map embedded with short-term objectives leading to your overall career goals and objectives. The achievement of short-term objectives will indicate you are moving in the correct direction, and will also give you energy and excitement to carry on towards your overall career goal. It will take some research, but you most likely have some ideas already. Follow them through, look at the nature of the field, the everyday routine, the required education, the salary, the occupational demand and the related fields. When a career sparks an interest, try to shadow an individual who is actually doing what you think you might like to do. You can pick up valuable information this way. Thus, the following.
- Acquire the will to change circumstances.
- Acquire the vision (dream).
- Develop a road-map embedded with short-term objectives leading to your overall goal and objective.
- Just do it and do not let go until it becomes a reality.

Not enough information given to render an answer or opinion. The officer(s) may have neglected to officially file the paperwork - the court clerks office may have lost or misplaced the paperwork - the judge's clerk may have lost or misplaced the paperwork.

Something is not right about this question.

It is a statistic measurement of crime or crime rate in a particular society, community, country or simply a region. It is mainly used by agencies like FBI in the US, Home Office in England and Wales, Interpol and UN.
They mainly collect these information either from Uniform crime reports or individual survey, relaying one their honesty. So the results may not be 100% accurate, but it could give you more or less exact figures to analyse.
