He had a teacher that always ate 1958 4 biscuits during break time. Cannan bragged later in life about how he used his charm to persuade her to allow him to have biscuits as well. A teacher took him into a vacant classroom and instructed him to drop his trousers. The teacher touched him between the legs and wanted John to touch him as well; he 1961/1962 7/8 did it in fear of the teacher. He claims to have felt ashamed from it and that it went on for months because he couldn’t tell anyone about it. He became afraid of school after this and developed a stammer from being nervous all the time at school. He was taken to the family doctor because of this nervousness and then did not return to the school. He used the experience at school to explain why he was 1963 9 “different” from others and why he didn’t have any close friends; claimed he always had to deal with humiliation and shame which led him to express anger and resentment.

The panel of speakers consisted of Dr. M.K. Devarajan, Member of the RSHRC, Ms. Maja Daruwala, Director of CHRI, Mr. R.K. Saxena, Retd. IG Prison, Rajasthan and Mr. Nigel Akkara, Entrepreneur, Kolkata Facilities Management. This was held over the issues regarding prison reforms in Rajasthan, where CHRI has been working for the last 4 years. Over thirty civil societies groups and six corporates, from the districts of Jaipur, Ajmer and Jodhpur from Rajasthan and from Delhi, took part during the interactive sessions to discuss civil and corporate interventions in prisons. Dr. Devarajan shared the manifold impacts of collaborations by the Tamil Nadu Prisons with NGOs and corporates on cultivating skills. This sparked responses from the participants on problems regarding strictly defined CSR mandates that make it difficult for corporates to invest in the vocational training and skill development of prisoners. The Hon. Secretary General of the Rajasthan Chamber of Commerce, Mr. K.L. Jain said that the list of areas where CSR investment may be done does not yet have prisoners’ livelihoods as a priority area and that he would take up this issue with the corporates in his organisation so that this may be rectified.

  • “Yes” Always Make It Right? the Role of Consent in Civil Battery
    Does Saying “Yes” Always Make It Right? The Role of Consent in Civil Battery Alex Geisinger* After hundreds of years of jurisprudence, one would expect that something as basic as the prima facie elements of common-law battery would be well-settled, yet nothing could be further from the truth — especially when it comes to the issue of consent. Indeed, recognizing just how unsettled the law is, the Restatement Third of Torts retreats from the position of earlier Restatements — which made non-consent an element of battery — and takes no position on whether consent should be treated in the prima facie elements or as an affirmative defense. Instead the Restatement Third charges scholars and the courts alike with the task of considering consent’s proper function in battery law. This Article takes up the charge of the Restatement Third. After examining the current state of the law in the U.S. and in other common law jurisdictions, it argues that, contrary to the position taken by the first two Restatements and many U.S. courts, consent is properly treated as an affirmative defense to battery. Arguments for non-consent to be treated as an element, the Article explains, are based on a rationale that consent “magically” transforms otherwise wrongful contacts into legally acceptable ones. Such a rationale, the Article argues, is unpersuasive because it prioritizes autonomy over dignity and bodily integrity, while ignoring many * Copyright © 2021 Alex Geisinger.

  • Encountering the Origin and Development of Criminal Behaviour of a Young Offender
    © 2019 JETIR June 2019, Volume 6, Issue 6 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) Encountering the Origin and Development of Criminal Behaviour of a Young Offender V.Arockiam * & Dr.R.Mani ** Research Scholar * and Professor ** Centre for Gandhian Studies,The Gandhigram Rural Institute - Deemed to be University- Dindigul- Tamilnadu –India. Abstract This paper is particularly concerned with discovering the causes for young people within the context of becoming possible offenders. It is a great concern of everyone and particularly of prison social worker, who can play a major role in the life of a young offender. There are several factors which cause young people to become offenders around the globe. There is a considerable debate about how the young as creative, vibrant, realistic, and potential they are, become offenders due to diverted behavior. However there is some uncertainty about the accurate cause for their offending behavior. It is highly important to note that cause of an offence by young offender differs from individual to individual. One becomes an offender due to certain factor and the same factor does not affect another individual to become an offender. There is a great disagreement amongst researchers that offensive behavior raises with age, it is more common after puberty and increases over the course of adolescence. It is rather difficult to know how often young people involve in an offending act. There is also a widely accepted hypothesis that young people who commit an offence rarely have certain reason but act as friendship sake. According to the National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) crime by young women has remained stable while crime by young men has rapidly doubled in the past few years.
