A central argument of the Leviathan has to do with the political importance of education. Hobbes wants his book to be taught in universities and expounded much in the manner that Scripture was. Only thus will citizens realize what is in their hearts as to the nature of good political order. Glory affects this process in two ways. The pursuit of glory by a citizen leads to political chaos and disorder. On the other hand, God's glory is such that one can do nothing but acquiesce to it. The Hobbesian sovereign shares some of the effects of glory that God has naturally; this, however, has to be supplemented by awe and that but fear.

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) serves as a comprehensive and legally binding framework for the rights of persons with mental illness. The extent to which countries have adapted their mental health legislation to reflect the binding provisions outlined in the CRPD is unclear. This paper reviews the situation across the Commonwealth.

International law, also known as public international law and law of the nation is the set of rules, norms, and standards generally accepted in relations between nations. The sources of international law include international custom (general state practice accepted as law), treaties, and general principles of lawrecognized by most national legal systems. Human Rights are the basic rights and freedoms to which all human beings are entitled, like civil and politicalrights, the right to life and liberty, freedom of thought and speech/expression, equality before the law, social, cultural and economic rights, the right to food,the right to work, and the right to education. In short, human rights are freedoms established by custom or international agreements that protect the interests of humans and the conduct of governments in every nation. Human rights are distinct from civil liberties, which are freedoms established by the lawof a particular state and applied by that state in its own jurisdiction. Human rights laws have been defined by international conventions, by treaties, and by organizations, particularly the United Nations. These laws prohibit practices such as torture, slavery, summary execution without trial, and arbitrarydetention or exile.

On July 1, 1996, the federal government introduced Bill-C12, the new Employment Insurance (EI) legislation claiming that one purpose is to extend coverage to those who were excluded from UI. This includes the labour force in non-standard forms of employment (those in part-time, temporary, seasonal and ' just-in-time' employment also referred to as the precariously employed). This project concludes that contrary to the proclamation, the new EI legislation is designed to exclude from benefits the very labour force the government contended to extend coverage to. The EI guidelines defeat the very purpose of extension of coverage to this workforce by imposing strict eligibility criteria and increased entry requirements. It increases the qualifying period by 233% from what it was under UI and it introduces a penalty for repeat-use of the program. The new fixed averaging formula used to determine the level of benefits as well as weeks of benefits and the new-re-entrant requirement of 910 hours end up either excluding many of the precariously employed from benefits or reducing their benefit levels and benefit weeks. . Arguing from a Structural Marxist point of view, this study concludes that the main purpose of the reform is to weaken the safety net for the jobless and thereby increase the vulnerability of the working class in general to the hazards of the market place at a time when unemployment is high. The relative accessibility of the old program, with its income replacement of 55% of insured earnings and the duration of benefits, was believed to loosen the cash/work nexus by way of de-commodifying labour power. The reform, therefore, is designed to rid the program of these perceived or actual effects and to strengthen the actuarial principle. As a result, the new EI program curtails benefits and entitlements for workers it forces the working class back into the wage-capital labour relations as soon as possible. It does this by diminishing the capacity of the program to immunize the working clas ; The original print copy of this thesis may be available here: http://wizard.unbc.ca/record=b1197315

Police procedures, forensic science, and the law have all had to take into account the tasks that police dogs perform and the evidence that their work produces. As such, it is essential that those in the criminal justice system understand this type of evidence and its value. Police and Military Dogs: Criminal Detection, Forensic Evidence, and Judicial Admissibility examines the use of police and military dogs for a wide variety of functions and explores canine biology and behavior as it applies to police work. The book begins with an overview of the changes that have occurred in the field in t.
