Abstract
This paper describes the political battle in the Maryland state legislature over mandatory overtime for nurses. The paper examines the issues involved in the debate pitting insurance companies and HMOS against nurses association, patients? rights and consumer groups. One side of the argument is concerned with the financial profit of private organizations and the other side voices issues of public health and voter anger over declining health-care standards.
From the Paper
"Nearly anyone who has ever been in the workforce has been faced at one time or another with the issue of mandatory overtime ? that is, being asked to work more than eight hours in a day or forty hours in a week. This situation is sometimes perfectly acceptable to the employee. For example, an accountant might reasonably be expected to be called upon to work more than 40 hours in the weeks leading up to April 15. Assuming that she is being paid for the hours worked, she is more than likely to agree that such a ?request? on the part of her employer is a reasonable one."

Abstract
The author of this paper discusses the cumulative effective of poor health on the patients of overworked and overstressed nurses. It illustrates how mandatory overtime is disadvantageous for all in the end and ties this in with the whole insurance debate. The paper takes an individual case to asses and illustrate the points raised in the paper.
From the Paper
"In the particular case of the Maryland nurses, we can see how the interests of health care professionals and patients can in many ways be seen to be in opposition to the interests of insurance companies. While the bill was supported by the Maryland State Board of Nursing and the Maryland Nurses Association as well as by a number of patients' rights and consumer groups, it was opposed by hospitals and insurance companies and HMOS."

Abstract
The paper discusses how modern nursing legislation has been proposed to Congress that would address serious concerns in the nursing profession. These concerns have a direct affect on every individual that utilizes health care today. The paper further discusses how Clark and Clark contend that nurses in the twenty-first century are commonly having to work extended overtime hours to meet the nursing shortage, as well as contend with low wages, and insufficient working conditions. The paper describes how, because nurses are forced into positions of care that can result in medical errors to patients, many nurses are therefore leaving the profession. The paper analyzes how the Quality of Nursing Care Act of 2004, and the Safe Nursing and Patient Care Act of 2005 were introduced as legislation in the United States Congress to address these issues.

An analysis of Oregon's proposed mandatory health insurance policy.

Abstract
This paper examines the effects of imposing mandatory health insurance laws on all citizens of the state of Oregon. The writer discusses the financial challenges such a law would impose on low income citizens and how these citizens, that lack the financial ability to pay for insurance, would, consequently, not be able to avoid violating a mandatory health insurance law. The paper concludes that even though the framers of mandatory health insurance do not seem to have placed much value in the potential impact of unforeseen unemployment and do not seem to have much regard for the guarantees provided under equal protection under the law, these factors are directly relevant and must be evaluated. This document appends some of the sources used in writing this paper.
Outline:
Impact/Effectiveness Analysis
Workability Analysis
Efficiency Analysis
From the Paper
"Oregon's proposed policy that would implement mandatory health insurance requires careful study and a three dimensions of feasibility analysis, primarily because several inherent provisions of this prospective law appear to be unworkable and unenforceable. A range of other potential problems exists, but a significant unforeseen problem is that criminalizing low income citizens for being unable to afford health insurance may be in conflict with the constitutional guarantee of equal protection under the law."

Abstract
This paper discusses the debate over mandatory school uniform policies in the state of California. It compares and contrasts two articles that deal with the issue - Darlene Williams' article, "School Uniforms: The Raging Debate" and David Brunsma and K. Rockquemore's article, "Effects of Student Uniforms on Attendance, Behavior Problems, Substance Abuse, and Academic Achievement." The paper also analyzes the pros and cons of mandatory school uniform polices. The paper includes appended source material.
From the Paper
"Comparing and contrasting these articles indicates that the authors agree that school uniform policies are steadily gaining public support. Williams emphasizes that in spite of potential lengthy court fights, mandatory school uniform policies are gaining ever-increasing favor in many public school systems in California, particularly in light the violent episodes which have taken place in the last several years, such as the tragic multiple shootings at Columbine High School in Colorado, the recent shooting rampage in San Diego, numerous bomb threats, and continuing controversy over zero-tolerance policies.

Mandatory Minimum Sentencing, 2002.
An examination of the principles behind mandatory minimum sentencing.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the issues concerning mandatory minimum sentencing, created by politicians convinced that crime was out of control. It looks at how the public wanted something done and that one aspect of the problem was that judges were exercising too much discretion and not sending enough people to prison for a long enough period of time. It discusses how mandatory minimum sentencing began as a tool in the drug war in 1986 when House Speaker Thomas P. "Tip" O'Neill Jr. ordered his Democratic committee chairmen to produce a crime bill that toughened penalties on drug dealers.
From the Paper
"There is considerable public support for the idea that criminals need to be given harsher punishment and almost none for the idea that some other means should be taken to reduce crime. Those concerned about crime can point to a number of statistical studies to show that crime is increasing and is not being punished at the level the public would prefer. A National Punishment Survey conducted by the Population and Society Research Center at Bowling Green State University in 1987 showed that the public recommends prison sentences for a variety of violent and other serious crimes that would be approximately three times longer than offenders actually serve."

America's Latest Developments
Why it is a Bad Idea
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Each year around the world, millions of young men reach the age of majority, kiss their families goodbye and go off to join the military. This is not because they dreamed of becoming soldier while they were growing up. It is not because they understand and appreciate the benefits that a military training camp can give them. They join because the law says they must. Mandatory military service is not a new concept in the world. It has been practiced in many nations, for many reasons with many different programs. The United States disbanded its only mandatory military service when it dismantled the military draft program in 1973(Conscription in the United States."

The New Overtime Laws, 2004.
An analysis of the new overtime laws issued by the U.S. Department of Labor.

Abstract
This paper examines the changes to overtime legislation in the United States. The paper discusses the guidelines presented by the Department of Labor, explaining the new terminology employed. The paper analyzes the "Working Families Flexibility Act" (Ballenger's bill) and the "Family Friendly Workplace Act" (Ashcroft's bill). The paper contends that these titles are misleading as the changes in the overtime laws seem to benefit only the corporations and not the employees.
From the Paper
"In the winter of 2004, The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) issued what it called "guidance" about President Bush's overtime legislation. Along with the guidance, they invented new obfuscatory language. When they discussed "payroll adjustment," a relatively benign-sounding term, they were really referring to "cutting base worker salaries so the additional overtime payments would bring their total pay to their old salaries, or raising salaries just to the $22,100 threshold so workers do not qualify for overtime" (Economic Opportunity Report). On the face of it, guidelines such as those, which advocated diminishing compensation for the work being done, might have been issued by a government department called the Department of Corporation Welfare, if we had one. Clearly, the suggested changes would benefit no one except the employer."

Abstract
This paper describes the policies, procedures and state laws that are concerned with the mandatory reporting of child abuse by certain mandated reporters such as teachers, social workers, therapists and other state departmental workers; all of which are designated by law to be mandated reporters. This paper focuses on teachers as mandated reporters and how this legal provision might impact their performance in the classroom, how it might influence the way they interact with the children in their class and the parents of these children and finally any barriers to reporting child abuse that might be noted by teachers, which could reduce the effectiveness of the mandated reporting system. The paper provides a brief look at how child abuse can affect the behavior and learning abilities of the child and a review of the basic wording of the mandated reporting law, as well as a few state variations on the federal law. It then provides a literature review to try and determine the impact that the mandated reporting law might have on teachers, including any barriers to mandated reporting experienced by teachers. The paper is supported by journal references written between 2000 and 2005.

From the Paper
"Rebecca Bolen (2003) also supported the notion that schools could and should provide the best environment for helping to address issues surrounding child sex abuse, and increasing awareness of how the problem can be reduced, and how victims can be helped by resources in the community. Bolen describes that the prevention programs in place at many schools today include three objectives - firstly to teach children about the concept of sexual abuse including teaching on what is known as "bad" touching in private places; secondly children are taught about how they can refuse to be touched in such a manner and what methods they should use to "get away" and "tell on" the person and finally helping these children to tell an adult that they trust about the incident, so that this person won't prey on other children."

Canadian Mandatory Minimum Sentences, 2007.
This paper discuses the advantages and disadvantages of mandatory minimum sentences (MMS) in Canada.
910 words (approx. 3.6 pages), 3 sources, APA, £ 22.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that mandatory minimum sentencing (MMS) rests on aims of deterrence and of incapacitation so that a lawbreaker, who is likely to repeat an offense, is removed as a risk to the public. The author points out that critics of the criminal justice system indicate that, without MMS, immense discrepancies regarding punishment assigned for the same offenses by different parties would exist. The paper also relates that, under MMS, a judge, who is able to discern an irregular circumstance related to a crime, is no longer free to adjust what he or she hands down to an offender. The author concludes that, in Canada, at present, perhaps the strongest argument against MMS is the inadequacy of prison resources and community support services, which would be overloaded because MMS would involve more offenders being assigned to prisons.

Defects in Minimum Sentencing
Concluding Remarks
From the Paper
"Gabor & Crutcher noted how the existence of minimum penalties for an array of crimes to an extent simplifies court proceedings towards reduced court costs, but that these are more than realized in the prison system where many timeservers now incarcerated for minimum sentences. Another factor to be kept in mind is the mentality of a serious offender who may not resent serving prison time as much as he or she may be more adverse to community sentences involving instructions, conditions and probation supervision."
