A number of sitting magistrates are complaining about the “discomfort” that police officers place on them on a daily basis at court.Observations show that magistrates already have their work cut out for them, having to deal with over 20 matters per day, without the necessary requirements.One example was seen recently when the magistrate called an “old matter”. That matter had been called nine months earlier.The preliminary inquiry had begun, but, to the surprise of the magistrate, none of the witnesses was ever present in court. The defendant is sitting in his jail cell waiting for the prosecution to summon the witnesses.According to a lawyer, if the accused waits on the prosecution,Cheap Jerseys Paypal, “he would be there until he turns grey”.The defendant’s lawyer had noted to the court that this is a new form of punishment that is meted out to prisoners.Upon hearing that the prosecution had not done anything, since the defendant’s last court appearance, to summon the witnesses, the presiding magistrate had to dispense justice.She allowed the defendant to have his pretrial liberty, with the lawyer’s reassurance of his client returning to the court.

They added that, when the warrant is issued,Wholesale Authentic Jerseys, their fellow officers don’t enforce the law,Jerseys NFL Wholesale, something that brings the case at a “stand still.”The magistracy is now posed with a “stiff task” of determining what should be the next step for the case.According to one magistrate, the police are only interested in “arresting the people, but when it comes to prosecution the same people can go free.”The magistrates are also saying,College Jerseys, in some cases, that the prosecution is not to be blamed, since the prosecutors are often not given the necessary equipment which would make them more efficient.In some instances,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, “case dockets” are missing and certain prisoners are not being sent to court for reasons unknown. Police prosecutors, on any given day, are peeved because they also have to fall in with normal police work.This,China NFL Jerseys, said a leading police official, leaves very little time for them to really study files and other things associated with their substantive work.

– IDB study saysCross-country analysis shows that people living in urban areas are more likely to be depressed; religiousness reduces likelihood of depression.Income inequality can increase the probability of being emotionally depressed,Cheap Jerseys China, particularly among people living in urban areas, according to a new study by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).The probability of being depressed increases when inequality, as measured by the GINI Index, increases, according to the study,Wholesale NFL Jerseys China, which analyzed data from 93 countries from the 2007 Gallup Public Opinion Poll. People living in urban areas are more likely to be depressed than those living in rural areas, probably because inequality is more visible in urban areas.The study also found that the level of income as measured by a country’s gross domestic product per capita, does not affect the probability of depression.The IDB Working Paper “A Cross-Country Analysis of the Risk Factors for Depression at the Micro and Macro Level,” written by Natalia Melgar and M?ximo Rossi, economists at Universidad de la Rep?blica in Uruguay, is the first to offer a broad cross-country analysis of the impact of environmental factors such as economic performance on depression.The paper is part of the ongoing IDB research project on quality of life in Latin America and the Caribbean. Depression is one of the world’s most widespread mental illnesses. Mental disorders can cost as much as 4 percent of the gross domestic product, according to the World Health Organization. The study of the factors that facilitate depression is important to improve quality of life and happiness, and useful for policymakers as they identify at-risk groups and design public health policies.The paper measures the likelihood of citizens of a given country to be depressed than people in the United States. The researchers used the United States as a benchmark because of the wide availability of data and research.Citizens in Ethiopia, South Korea and Bolivia have the highest probability of being depressed than people living in the United States while citizens in Mauritania, Albania and Denmark are the least likely. Thirty-two countries showed no significant differences in probability against the United States.The paper also says that the likelihood of depression is lower in countries with a higher percentage of people aged 65 and older, while the probability tends to increase in countries with a high number of people aged 15 to 64. Interestingly,Cheap Jerseys From China, on an individual level,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping, being older tends to favor depression.The cross-country econometric analysis also confirms findings of previous research that looked into individual characteristics and the risk of being depressed. Men tend to be less depressed than women. The probability of being depressed is almost 1.6 percentage points lower if a person is male,Cheap Soccer Jerseys Free Shipping, according to the research.Those who are married or living as married couples tend to be less depressed than single people, while those who have experienced marital break-up or widowhood are more likely to be depressed than single people and/or married people. Furthermore, being divorced (an experience that may imply conflict with another person) registers a higher negative impact than being widowed.Not surprisingly, negative life experiences such as being unemployed also increase the probability of being depressed. The study shows that the effect is relatively high,College Jerseys, increasing the probability of being depressed by approximately 3.7 percentage points.
