a sexual predator is nearing completion of his sentence. he has indicated that he is consumed by compulsions that he is not able to resist. corrections officials are convinced that he will re-offend upon being released. they decide to seek an order committing the offender to a secure treatment facility at the completion of his sentence. the legal basis for civil commitment can be found in the supreme court decision of:

The legal basis for civil commitment can be found in the Supreme Court decision of Kansas v. Hendricks ( 1997).

A civil commitment is a legal process through which an individual who is deemed dangerous for the general public ( severe mental disorder), is order by court into treatment or a prolonged stay in an appropriate and secure treatment facility. It also apply to prisoners who, after serving their prison sentence, are still considered dangerous and therefore can not be granted freedom.

Kansas v. Hendricks was a U.S Supreme Court decision where two  predators, Leroy Hendricks and Tim Quinn, were ordered to indefinite civil commitment after finishing their prison sentence. They were both convinced of inappropriate behavior towards children. During the trial they both admitted to feeling strong  desire towards children when under extreme stress. The court considered them to be  violent predators and ordered them to indefinite civil commitment.

answer; for children with two myopic parents,the likelihood of becoming myopic is ) correlated with the number of hours spent playing sports each week;

well, paralell is parallel. i am providing links to .

hope this !

a series circuit is one with all the loads in a row. there is only one path for the electricity to flow. if this circuit was a string of light bulbs, and one blew out, the remaining bulbs would turn off.

unlike in series circuits, a charge in a parallel circuit encounters a single voltage drop during its path through the external circuit. the current through a given branch can be predicted using the ohm's law equation and the voltage drop across the resistor and the resistance of the resistor.

a parallel circuit has certain characteristics and basic rules: a parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to flow through. voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit.
