Answer:

The answer is: thief catchers.

Explanation:

Thief catchers were popularly known as "thief-takers." This was a job in the 19th century of England that allowed the hired person (thief-taker) to capture a criminal. They were hired by the victims of the crime and was also paid with bounty by the government (just like bounty hunters).

The reason behind this was the disorder that occurred in the streets of England when a huge number of people migrated to the area. In the 17th century, the existing of property crimes became evident. Theft became a common crime. These included robberies, shoplifting, counterfeiting money and the like. Since it was very hard to chase and arrest offenders, the thief-takers became a new role in the society. The number of people who applied for the position grew until it became popular in the 19th century.

How do lobbyists differ from political action committees (PACs)?

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

A lobbyist is a professional whose job is to make contacts with influential people in Washington (or whatever government) and make a case on behalf of a client. They're regulated under the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995. If you're spending most of your time chatting with Congressmen, then you need to file forms saying who you're talking to and on whose behalf. These forms are filed with the clerks in the House and the Senate.

While a Political Action Committee (PAC) is a group of people with some kind of interest. They collect money and spend it to promote that interest. They have to file forms, with the Federal Election Commission rather than with the legislative branch, though unlike the lobbyists they have ways to not disclose who's giving them money. They can hold public meetings, buy TV advertising, donate money to causes, give money to candidates (a small amount- about $5k to candidates and $15k to parties), and hire lobbyists.

Generally, when a PAC hires a lobbyist, the lobbyist is the one to go to the legislator and make the case on behalf of the PAC. They may also bring the PAC's own team to make the presentation, but they need to be very careful about crossing the (byzantine) set of rules trying to keep the ethical lines clear-ish. Conceivably, they could have lobbyists on staff, but it exposes the entire organization to levels of disclosure that they'd generally rather not have. Thus, the usual plan is for a PAC to hire an established lobbying firm, who is already registered and prepared to handle the paperwork.

criminal vs civil torts << have to write an essay on that so just give me good sentences and points, maybe even a paragrap

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

ANSWER-

The word tort is derived from the Latin word "tortum"which means twisted. Tort represents that conduct which is not ordinary.A tort is a kind of civil wrong committed against another person.

For Example -A and B are neighbors,if A visits B,s house its the duty of A to ring the bell and right of A whether to let him enter or not by giving permission and vice-versa.

if either of them does not follow this conduct they do wrong against the other.In other words, they commit a tort.

thus the law which governs every civil law is called the law of torts/civil torts.

points include

*it is largely uncodified.

*it awards nominal damages.

*torts are the violation of private rights.

*the tort law is binding.

WHEREAS in CRIMINAL LAW, Crime is the wrongful done to anybody and the state or government has categorized it as a crime that comes under the criminal law.

Criminal law provides a way to punish people who commit a crime and protect citizens from such wrongdoings.It is codified as the rule of law and constitutional law prescribes that crimes need to be specified. Whereas TORTS are more private in nature crime represents a wrong against society at large.

criminal law is not only of binding nature but the default of it leads to serious consequences.

sometimes Crime can also be torts.

For example, let’s say Krish and Chunky find themselves arguing. Krish punches Chunky angrily and breaks Kris’s nose as a result. Krish is then accused of battery – a criminal charge – because it is illegal to physically assault another person in such a way.

However, Chunky also decides to sue Krish for the medical costs he has accrued due to his broken nose. As soon as Chunky sues for his personal damages, the case also becomes a tort. Krish may have to repay his debts to both society(in the criminal case) and Chris (in the tort case).
