Ex. 23. Read and translate the following text. Why should I learn a language? Learning a foreign language takes time and dedication. The reasons below may help to convince you to take the plunge, if such persuasion is needed. Some reasons are practical, some aspirational, some intellectual and others sentimental, but whatever your reasons, having a clear idea of why you are learning a language can help to motivate you in your studies. Emigration. When you move to a different country or region, learning the local language will help you to communicate and integrate with the local community. Even if many of the locals speak your language, it is still worth learning the local language. Doing so will demonstrate your interest in and commitment to the new country. Family and friends. If your partner, in-laws, relatives or friends speak a different language, learning that language will help you to communicate with them. It can also give you a better understanding of their culture and way of thinking. Work. If your work involves regular contact with speakers of foreign languages, being able to talk to them in their own languages will help you to communicate with them. It may also help you to make sales and to negotiate and secure contracts. Knowledge of foreign languages may also increase your chances of finding a new job, getting a promotion or a transfer overseas, or of going on foreign business trips. Study or research. Learning other languages gives you access to a greater range of information about your subject and enables you to communicate with students and researchers from other countries. If much of the information and research about a subject that interests you is in other languages, learning those languages will be very useful. Travel. Many English speakers seem to believe that wherever you go on holiday you can get by speaking English, so there is no point in learning any other languages. You can more or less get away with this, as long as you stick to popular tourist resorts and hotels where you can usually find someone who speaks English. However, if you want to venture beyond such places, to get to know the locals, to read signs, menus, etc., knowing the local language is very useful. A basic ability in a foreign language will help you to ‘get by’, i.e. to order food and drink, find your way around, buy tickets, etc. If you have a more advanced knowledge of the language, you can have real conversations with the people you meet, which can be very interesting and will add a new dimension to your holiday. You might make new friends, make useful business contacts, or even find your soulmate. 21
Studying abroad. If you plan to study at a foreign university, college or school, you will need a good knowledge of the local language. Getting in touch with your roots. If your family spoke a particular language you might want to learn it and possibly teach it to your children. Culture. Maybe you are interested in the literature, poetry, films, TV programs, music or some other aspect of the culture of people who speak a particular language and want to learn their language in order to gain a better understanding of their culture. Food. Perhaps you enjoy the food and / or drink of a particular country or region and make regular trips there, or the recipe books you want to use are only available in a foreign language. Linguistic interest. Maybe you are interested in linguistic aspects of a particular language and decide to learn it in order to understand them better. Challenging yourself. Maybe you enjoy the challenge of learning foreign languages or of learning a particularly difficult language. Sounds / looks good to me. Perhaps you just like the sound of a particular language when it is spoken or sung. Or you find the written form of a language attractive. If you like singing, learning songs in other languages can be interesting, challenging and enjoyable. One language is never enough! Someone who is fascinated by languages and enjoys learning them, then one language is never enough. Eх. 24. Discuss the following questions. 1. Is it necessary to learn foreign languages? 2.

However, many students graduate in a non-law subject and then undertake a one year conversion course known as a postgraduate Diploma in Law. One interesting aspect of legal profession and appropriate legal education in the UK is that there are two separate legal careers of solicitors and barristers in England and Wales. A person wishing to become a solicitor must complete three stages: the first stage involves gaining a law degree; the second stage requires passing a one-year full-time (or two years part-time) Legal Practice Course (LPC); and the final stage entails working for two years as a trainee solicitor with a firm of solicitors or in the legal department of a local authority or large company. At this stage, a trainee solicitor is paid a salary. Intending barristers also need a qualifying law degree in order to apply to join one of the Inns of Court to study for the Bar Professional Training Course. It’s also mandatory for students to keep terms, which means dining at their Inn a fixed number of times, before they can be called to the Bar, that is, qualify as a barrister. Then the new barrister faces intense competition to obtain a funded pupillage in chambers for twelve months in order to get practical training, when pupils at first shadow an experienced barrister by observing professional activities, and then, with their supervisor’s permission, can undertake to supply legal services and exercise rights of audience. To gain a Full Qualification Certificate pupils must learn the rules of conduct and etiquette at the Bar, learn to prepare and present a case competently, learn to draft pleadings and opinions, have advocacy training. If successful at the end of the twelve months, the qualified barrister applies for atenancy in chambers.

The profession of barrister in England and Wales is a separate profession from that of solicitor. It is however possible to hold the qualification of both barrister and solicitor at the same time. The practical difference between the two professions is twofold: – Barristers have a more specialized knowledge of case-law and precedent. It is relatively common for a barrister to only receive a “brief” from an instructing solicitor to represent a client at trial a day or two before the hearing. – A barrister has rights of audience in the higher courts. In this regard, the profession of barristercorresponds to that part of the role of legal professionals found in the civil law countries relating to appearing in trials or pleading cases before the courts. Ex. 16. Say whether the statements are true or false. 1. In the UK, a legal education usually begins with the completion of a magister degree in law. 2. In order to get a bachelor degree a student usually studies four years. 3. The legal careers of solicitors and barristers in England and Wales are the same. 4. When a trainee solicitor works with a firm of solicitors or in the legal department of a local authority or large company he is not paid a salary. 5. Each new barrister faces intense competition to obtain a funded pupilage in chambers for twelve months in order to get practical training. 6. It is not obligatory for pupils to learn the rules of conduct and etiquette at the Bar to gain a Full Qualification Certificate. 7. The profession of barrister in England and Wales is a separate profession from that of solicitor. Ex. 17. Discuss the following questions. 1. Are the skills acquired by solicitors and barristers the same? 2. How long is a full-time LPC in England? 3. How many years does an LLB course last? 4. May graduates in non-law subjects enter a law school? 5. What are the two parts of pupillage for intending barristers? 6. What stages of education and training must a candidate undergo in order to become a barrister? 7. What three stages is it necessary to complete in order to become a solicitor? Ex. 18.

Ex. 21. Read and translate the text. Hendon Police College Hendon Police College is the principal training centre for London‘s Metropolitan Police Service. Today, the college is commonly referred to as the Peel Centre, although its original name is still used frequently. Within the police it is known as just “Hendon”. The College was opened on 31 May 1934 by the Prince of Wales, in the erstwhile buildings of Hendon Country Club, Hendon Aerodrome‘s club house (which had been used briefly as laboratories of the Standard Telephones and Cables company). The school was the brainchild of Lord Trenchard, who was Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis from 1931 to 1935. His experiences assecond-in-command of the Royal Flying Corps‘ Central Flying School in 1913 and 1914 gave him a suitable background for the venture, whilst the location would have been known to him from his time as Chief of the Air Staff (1921– 1929). Trenchard’s college was founded upon a modern and scientific approach to training. There were forensic laboratories, detective training facilities, and a police driving school. The college was closed between 1939 and 1949. When the Royal Air Force left Hendon in the 1960s, the Metropolitan Police decided to rebuild the college, and the new Peel Centre, named after Sir Robert Peel, was opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 31 May 1974, forty years to the day after her 62
uncle opened the original Metropolitan Police College. The Queen has returned twice since then, on the 21 October 2001 when she dedicated the memorial to Metropolitan Police officers and staff who have lost their lives on duty, and on 3 January 2005 when she went to visit the Casualty Bureau dealing with British nationals missing after the Asian Tsunami. The last course at Hendon on the 17 week course finished on 6 July 2007 with a fly past from India 99, a Metropolitan Police helicopters. Recruits will now take part in the IPLDP (Initial Police Learning and Development Programme) scheme. The centre is run by the Director and Coordinator of Training, who is responsible for overseeing the training received by new recruits. Between 2,000 and 2,500 recruits pass through the centre each year to undertake its 25-week non-residential basic training course. The centre runs courses on many aspects of police work, from forensic and crime scene analysis, to radio operations and driving skills. Police officers can expect to return to the centre at various times during their career. Part of the centre is dedicated to the investigations of serious crimes, including homicide. It also has extensive sports facilities. Training facilities include a mock court room, a road system and Brixley police station, which is now used for training purposes only. The mock court room is also used by Transport for London for the training of Revenue Protection Inspectors. The Metropolitan Police Book of Remembrance is displayed in the entrance of Simpson Hall at the centre. There is also a memorial garden. Ex. 22. Say whether the statements are true or false.

That means four years of undergraduate study for a bachelor’s degree followed by the graduate Juries Doctor (JD) law degree. Law is not offered at the undergraduate level; so students read law only at law schools. Law students need to develop the three basic skills: communication skills both written and spoken; research skills; and especially analytical thinking skills. These abilities can be developed by any major: social sciences, history, economics, humanities, and engineering. So a bachelor’s degree at any top college or university that provide highly efficient background will give a better chance for admission. It’s not really difficult to enter a law school, if a person has high undergraduate grades and also score high on the LSAT (Law School Admission Test). This test measures reading and verbal succeed in law school. It consists of five 35-minute sections of multiple choice sections will contribute to the applicant’s score. These sections include one reading comprehension section, one analytical reasoning section, and two logical reasoning sections, an experimental section which can be any of the above and finally, and an essay writing section. A successful applicant becomes a happy student. During the first year of law school the students usually take major courses such as Constitutional Law, Contracts, Property Law, Torts, Civil Procedure and Legal Writing. There is also a Program of Legal Research and Writing. The students learn how to work with documents just the way a lawyer usually does. They attend the library, write legal memoranda, draft documents, and prepare briefs. The students also participate in the school’s moot competitions in which the skills of argumentation are developed, in mock trials under the supervision of experienced lawyers and judges, and in legal clinic activities. A special clinical semester is aimed at gaining practical experience by young lawyers. It is a hands-on learning model when students develop their lawyering skills working with real clients. The clinical semester is offered for the second or third year students. For upper-level students the courses are mainly optional. There usually is abroad range of offerings from which a student can plan his or her own curriculum. It depends on the perspective practice area he or she is aiming at. But at the same time it’s essential to deepen and broaden the basic legal literacy and understanding the law as a whole. When the student graduates from the school, he or she gains the Juries Doctor degree and looks for a job. He may find the position but he can’t practice law: He must be licensed or admitted to the Bar. All states require that applicants for admission to the Bar pass a written Bar Examination; most jurisdictions also require applicants to pass a separate written Ethics Examination. Ex. 26. Say whether the statements are true or false. 1. Legal education in the USA has a simple structure. 2. It takes many years to become a lawyer in the USA. 3. In four years of undergraduate study 66
students get a magister’s degree. 4. Law students need to develop the three basic skills: communication skills; research skills; and especially physical ones. 5. If an applicant has high undergraduate grades it’s not really difficult to enter a law school. 6. The students are not taught how to work with documents, it is not necessary. 7. The students necessarily participate in the school’s moot competitions in order to develop their argumentation skills. 8. There is also a special clinical semester which is offered only for the first year students. 9. For upperlevel students the courses are optional. 10.

Ex. 14. Read, translate and retell the text. When people say England, they sometimes mean Great Britain, sometimes the United Kingdom, sometimes the British Isles – but never England. George Mikes The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Many foreigners say “England” and “English” when they mean “Britain”, or the “UK”, and “British”. This is very annoying for those people who live in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland because they are all called British. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is the official name of the state which is sometimes referred to as Great Britain or Britain (after its major isle), England (after its major historic part), the British Isles. Some people say “the United Kingdom”, or just “the UK” and “GB”. The UK occupies the territory of the British Isles. It consists of four main countries which are: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (sometimes known as Ulster[‘ʌlstə]). Their capitals are London, Edinburgh ([′edinbərə]), Cardiff ([′ka:dif]) and Belfast ([‚bel′fa:st]). 86
The UK is an island state: it is composed of some 5,500 islands, large and small. The two main islands are: Great Britain (in which are England, Wales, and Scotland) to the east and Ireland (in which are Northern Ireland and the independent Irish Republic) to the west. They are separated by the Irish Sea. The UK is one of the world’s smallest countries (it is twice smaller than France or Spain) with an area of some 244,100 square kilometres. In the northwest the country is washed by the Atlantic Ocean. In the east it is washed by the North Sea. Great Britain is separated from the European continent by the English Channel (or La Manche) and the Strait of Dover (or Pas de Calais). The population of the United Kingdom is over 57 million people. English is the official language. But some people speak Scottish in western Scotland, Welsh – in parts of northern and central Wales, and Irish in Northern Ireland. The surface of the British Isles varies very much. The north of Scotland is mountainous and is called the Highlands. The south, which has beautiful valleys and plains, is called Lowlands. The north and west of England are mountainous, but the eastern, central and south-eastern parts of England are a vast plain. Mountains are not very high. Ben Nevis in Scotland is the highest mountain. There are a lot of rivers in Great Britain. The Severn [′sevən] is the longest river, while the Thames [temz] is the deepest and the most important one. The mountains, the Atlantic Ocean and the warm waters of the Gulf Stream ([ðə′ gʌlf stri:m]) influence the climate of the British Isles. It is mild the whole year round. The UK is a highly developed industrial country. It produces and exports machinery, electronics and textile. One of the chief industries of the country is shipbuilding. Great Britain is the birthplace of Sir Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie and many other famous people. Ex. 15.

Ex. 19. Read, translate and discuss the text. London London is the capital of England and the United Kingdom, its economic political, commercial and cultural centre. London was originally established by the Romans, as Londinium, in the first century A.D. and became the capital of England in the XIth century. London is situated on both banks of the River Thames. It is one of the world’s most important ports and one of the largest cities in the world. Its population is about nine million people. Traditionally London is divided into four main parts: the City, Westminster, the West End and the East End. The City is the heart (centre) of London, its commercial and business part. Numerous banks, offices and firms are concentrated there. Here you can find the Bank of London, the Stock Exchange and the Lloyds, the most famous insurance 89
company in the world. Only 5,000 people live in the City and more than a million people come there to work. The City is the oldest part of the capital and is rich in famous sights. Among the first historic buildings is the Tower of London, built in 1087. It was founded by William the Conqueror with the aim of protecting Londoners from invasion by the river. Since then the Tower has served as a fortress, palace, state prison and the royal treasury. Now it is a museum. Close by the Tower of London are Tower Bridge, built in 1894, and St. Paul’s Cathedral, the second largest church in Europe. Most governmental buildings are situated in Westminster. On the left bank of the Thames is Westminster Palace, famous as the Houses of Parliament. It is the seat of the British Parliament. The Clock Tower with the hour-bell called “Big Ben” is known the world over. Westminster Abbey is a very large Gothic church in Westminster. Many visitors to the Abbey are attracted to Poets’ Corner, with its memorials to great men of letters. Many outstanding statesmen, painters, writers and poets are buried here. Among them are Charles Dickens, Rudyard Kipling and others. There are also memorials to William Shakespeare and Walter Scott. Nearly all English kings and queens have been crowned in Westminster Abbey. The Prime Minister of the UK lives at 10 Downing Street. Just around the corner in the street called Whitehall are all the important ministries: the Foreign Office, the Ministry of Defence, the Home Office and the Treasury. Scotland Yard, the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police, is situated on the Thames Embankment close to the Houses of Parliament. The West End is the richest part of London, the symbol of wealth and luxury. It is the area of the largest department stores, cinemas and hotels. There are a lot of theatres, concert halls, museums including the British Museum. Trafalgar Square is often considered the heart of London. It was built in honour of Admiral Lord Nelson after his victory in 1805 at the Battle of Trafalgar (in Spain). Nelson’s Column, with the statue of Admiral Lord Nelson on top, rises in the centre of Trafalgar Square. Madamе Tussaud’s museum of wax figures is in Baker Street. Piccadilly Circus is a busy square in the heart of London. It is the centre of night life in the West End. Buckingham Palace is the residence of the Queen, near which you can watch the most colourful ceremony “Changing of the Queen’s Guard”.

Such a constitution is generally the result of historical development. An unwritten constitution is generally flexible. It can be amended in an ordinary legislative procedure by the ordinary legislature. Most countries (such as Russia, the USA, Switzerland, France and others) have a formal written constitution. Many countries put the constitution above other laws by making it difficult to change. The Constitution of Great Britain is unwritten and flexible because the Parliament can “make or unmake” any law.

The population of Russia is about 150 million people and the territory is 6.6 million square miles (17 million square kilometers). The Russian Federation consists of 85 constituent entities (republics, krays, oblasts, cities of federal significance, an autonomous oblast and autonomous okrugs, which have equal rights). The Russian Federative Republic was set up by the Constitution of 1993. Under the Constitution full authority in the Russian Federation belongs to the President and the bodies of the legislative, executive and judicial authorities, which work independently. The legislative power is vested in the Federal Assembly (the Parliament). It consists of two chambers: the Federation Council (the upper chamber) and the State Duma (the lower chamber). The Federation Council includes two representatives from each constituent entity of the Russian Federation. The State Duma consists of 450 deputies. The Federal Assembly is a permanently functioning body. The Federation Council and the State Duma sit separately. Each chamber forms committees and commissions to hold appropriate hearings. The executive power is exercised by the government which consists of the Chairman of the Government (the Prime Minister), deputy chairmen and the federal ministers. The Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation is appointed by the President with the consent of the State Duma. The President 115
dissolves the State Duma and announces new elections. The Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation proposes to the President candidates for the posts of deputy chairmen of the Government of the Russian Federation and federal ministers. Justice in the Russian Federation is administered by courts alone. The judicial power is exercised by means of constitutional, civil, administrative and criminal proceedings. Thus, the judicial branch consists of the Constitutional Court, the Supreme and lower (district) courts. The responsibility of the Constitutional Court is to analyze new laws to make sure they correspond to the laws of the state. The Constitutional Court has the right to declare actions of the President, the Federal Assembly and the Federal Government unconstitutional.

Ex. 7. Read and translate the text into Russian. The British Constitution Constitutions organise, distribute and regulate state power. They set out the structure of the state, the major state institutions, and the principles governing their relations with each other and with the state’s citizens. Britain is unusual in that it has an ‘unwritten’ or ‘uncodified’ constitution. Unlike the great majority of countries there is no single legal document which sets out in one place the fundamental laws outlining how the state works. Britain’s lack of a ‘written’ constitution can be explained by its history. 125
The British Constitution has evolved over a long period of time, reflecting the relative stability of the British state. Britain has an accumulation of various statutes, conventions, judicial decisions and treaties which collectively can be referred to as the British Constitution. The British Constitution is derived from a number of sources. 1) Magna Charta [ˌmægnə ‘kɑːtə] (1215) – the Charta of feudal liberties signed by King John (also known as John Lackland) in 1215 as a result of baronial revolt. It is considered to be the beginning of the English constitutional law. 2) The Bill of Rights (1688) – an act of Parliament limiting the powers of the monarch. 3) The Habeas Corpus Act [ˌheɪbɪəs’kɔːpəsˌækt] (1679), making it obligatory for the courts to issue a “writ of habeas corpus”, that is an order directing the prisoner to be brought before the court. 4. The Act of Settlement (1700 and 1701) and the Parliament Acts of 1911 and 1949; 5. Common law – rules and principles of law, laid down by judges in deciding particular cases. 6. The Petition of Right Act (1628). The English Constitution is considered to be flexible because all constitutional institutions and rules can be modified by an act of Parliament. The constitutional rights of citizens and the powers of government are found in various laws, statutes, and even in traditions. For example, the important, constitutional principle that the king or queen must approve any legislation passed by parliament is simply an unwritten tradition that has gradually developed over the last three hundred years. There is a debate in Britain about, whether the rights of citizens would be better guaranteed by a written constitution, or at least a bill of rights. Some people argue that, the government has too much freedom and that it is too easy to change the constitution. That only a new statute or even a change in traditional procedure is enough. Others argue that the flexibility of an unwritten constitution is a good thing that the lack of a written constitution has not stood in the way of a long tradition of individual liberty in Britain. This is what is meant by saying the English Constitution is ‘unwritten and flexible’. It is simply not formally enacted. Ex. 8.

Ex. 13. Read and translate the text. The Government and the Parliament of the United Kingdom The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is a constitutional monarchy. This means that Great Britain is governed by Parliament and the Queen (currently Queen Elizabeth II) is Head of State. The Queen’s power is not absolute, but constitutional. Her power is limited by Parliament. Royal power is hereditary and not elective. It is for life and is inherited by the Sovereign’s direct descendants in the male line. According to the law the Queen is the head of the executive branch of the government, an integral part of the legislature, head of the judiciary, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the Crown, the temporal head of the Anglican Church (the Church of England) and the head of the Commonwealth. The supreme legislative power is vested in Parliament. The Parliament of Great Britain was formed in 1707. It consists of two chambers: The House of Lords (an upper house) and the House of Commons (a lower house). The House of Lords (the Lords) is composed of hereditary and life peers and peeresses. The members of the House of Commons (the Commons) are elected by the people. The House of Commons is the real governing body of the United Kingdom. In order to become a law, a new bill proposed by the Cabinet must be approved by both houses of Parliament. The Sovereign forms the third component of the legislature. The monarch is considered to be an integral part of Parliament, the socalled the Queen-in-Parliament (sometimes referred to as the Crown-inParliament). The UK parliament is the largest Anglophone legislative body in the world and it has been called “the mother of parliaments”. The executive power of Great Britain is exercised by the Cabinet, headed by the Prime Minister. The government is usually formed by the political party which is supported by the majority in the House of Commons. The Prime Minister is the majority party leader and is appointed by the Queen. The Prime Minister chooses a team of ministers. The Prime Minister is the head of the government. The judiciary branch of the government determines common law and is independent both of the legislative and executive branches. Britain is a unitary state composed of four historically formed regions: England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Scotland. England, Wales, and Scotland have their own legal and court systems, national churches, and organic systems of local government. Northern Ireland enjoys limited rights of autonomous administrative authority. There is no written constitution in Great Britain, only precedents and traditions. 129

Ex. 18. Get the idea of the text. The Judicial Branch of the United Kingdom The Supreme Court consists of 12 justices including the court president and deputy president. The Supreme Court was established by the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 and implemented in October 2009, replacing the Appellate Committee of the House of Lords as the highest court in the United Kingdom. Judge candidates are selected by an independent committee of several judicial commissions, followed by their recommendations to the prime minister, and appointed by Her Majesty the Queen. The Crown Courts deal exclusively with criminal matters, the County Courts – with civil. However, the Queen’s Bench Division of the High Court considers appeals from lower criminal courts, as well as civil matters, and the Magistrates’ Courts, while mostly concerned with criminal cases, also deal with some civil matters. A criminal case usually begins in a Magistrates’ Court. Each town has a magistrates’ court commonly known as a Police Court. Such courts consist of two to seven magistrates known as justices of the peace. They are often without legal training and knowledge of the law. In some cases they are advised by a Clerk of the Court, a trained lawyer. A Magistrates’ Court is in session twice each week as the lowest criminal court, a Magistrates’ Court is empowered to hear certain cases only. Some minor cases, such as parking violations, are dealt with only by the magistrates. Some serious crimes, like murder, must go to the Crown Courts. In the Crown Court cases are decided by a jury, that is, twelve jurors – ordinary members of the public between the ages of 18 and 70 who are selected at random. A defendant found guilty may appeal to the local Crown Court or to the Queen’s Bench Division. Appeals from the Crown Court go first to the High Court and, in special cases, to the Court of Appeals. Members of the House of 131
Lords, the Law Lords only, sit as a court оf appeal, and their decisions on both criminal and civil matters are binding upon all other courts. Ex. 19. Discuss the questions. 1.

What can you say about the system of appeals? 8. What is the function of a Clerk of the Court? Ex. 20. Read, translate and discuss the text. The Queen’s Role in Government As Head of State the Queen has to remain strictly neutral with respect to political matters, unable to vote or stand for election. However Her Majesty does have important ceremonial and formal roles in relation to the government of the UK. The formal phrase “Queen in Parliament” is used to describe the British legislature, which consists of the Sovereign, the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The Queen’s duties include opening each new session ([‘seʃ(ə)n] – заседание) of Parliament, granting ([grɑːnt] – предоставлять) Royal Assent ([‘rɔɪəl ə’sent] – королевская санкция – одобрение монархом законопроекта) to legislation, and approving Orders and Proclamations through the Privy Council ([,prɪvɪ’kaunsl] – Тайный совет). The Queen also has a special relationship with the Prime Minister, retaining the right to appoint and also meeting with him or her on a regular basis. In addition to playing a specific role in the UK Parliament based in London, The Queen has formal roles with relation to the devolved assemblies (Законодательное собрание со значительной степенью автономии) of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Ex. 21. Read and translate the text using a dictionary. Why are Ravens Kept at the Tower of London? According to legend, six ravens must reside inside the Tower of London at all times. Without them, both the Tower and the monarchy will fall. According to King Charles II’s infamous decree, if the birds leave the site, then its White Tower will crumble and the country will be plunged into chaos. The decree says that six ravens must be kept at the tower or “the kingdom will fall”. 132
Now, in order to make sure “the prophecy will never come to pass”, the tower will build its own breeding aviary to ensure that the current ravens survive. It is said that the bird numbers steadily decline in the UK. Seven ravens currently live at the tower, called Jubilee, Harris, Gripp, Rocky, Erin, Poppy and Merlina. A recent petition against new government powers that allow farmers across to legally cull ravens has gained traction because the birds were blamed for the slaughter of hundreds of lambs and piglets. The birds first gained notoriety as “spotters” for enemy planes during the Blitz , and Winston Churchill made sure for their flock be increased from just a single raven guard at the tower to a minimum of six afterwards. However, they are now more commonly known for their intelligence and ability to mimic sounds, play games and solve problems. An RSPCA spokeswoman said: “We’re hopeful that the ravens will be cared for at the highest standard and that the British Crown and the country are safe for the foreseeable future”. The birds have been protected since the 16th Century due to their role as natural scavengers.

Английский звук [Λ] похож на русский звук [а], произносимый в первом предударном слоге после твёрдых согласных на месте русских букв а и о, как например в словах скала и кора. По сравнению с русским ударным звуком [а], при произнесении английского звука [Λ], язык отодвинут назад, а задняя его часть приподнята. Чрезмерно отодвинутый назад языка приведёт к образованию звука, близкого к английскому звуку [Λ], что будет являться грубой фонематической ошибкой, так как данные звуки нередко выполняют смыслоразличительную функцию.

Ex. 10. Get the main idea about the Constitution of US. The US Constitution The form of the US government is based on the Constitution of September 17, 1787 adopted after the War of Independence. A constitution in the American political language means a set of rules, laws, regulations, customs and traditions, that provides the basic way of how a government is organized and functions. Like many other written, rigid constitutions, the US constitution cannot be altered easily. The US Constitution consists of the Preamble, seven articles and twentysix amendments. The first ten amendments are called the Bill of Rights. It was adopted in 1791. The Bill enumerated and guaranteed basic freedoms and declared what the government was not allowed to do. The Constitution established the United States as a federal union of states, a representative democracy within a republic. The Constitution sets up a strict division of powers classifying governmental powers as executive (the President and his Administration), legislative (the US Congress) and judicial (the US Supreme Court). 142
Under the Constitution, the president is elected by the people. The Constitution gives him many important powers, such as control of the armed forces and appointment of Supreme Court justices. But many of his decisions and all new legislation must be approved by a majority in Congress, which is also elected by the people. The Supreme Court has the task of interpreting laws which have been disputed in lower courts, and of deciding whether a law passed by Congress or by one of the individual states is in keeping with the Constitution. As well as defining the powers of government, most constitutions describe the fundamental rights of citizens. The US Constitution gives American citizens the right to equality, life, liberty, free speech, peaceful assembly and privacy. Except general declarations, there are also some specific provisions – for instance, the Fifth Amendment, of the American Constitution, which exempts a witness from answering a question in court, if he states his answer might reveal his own criminal guilt.

Ex. 15. Read and translate the text. The US Government The United States of America was formed in 1776 as a result of the victory of the American people in their struggle against British colonialists. In the course of its 200 years the US has gone a long way from a former colony to a leading superpower. By the Constitution the government of the USA is composed of three branches: the executive, the legislative and the judicial. The highest executive power is vested in the President of the United States, who is elected for a term of 4 years by electors of each state. The presidential election is held every fourth (leap) year. The President of the USA must be a native-born citizen, resident in the country for 14 years and at least 35 years old. The President of the United Statesis the head of stateand head of government of the United States. He is Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Navy and Air Force. The President’s Cabinet traditionally includes the Vice President and the heads of 15 executive departments (called Secretaries): Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Justice (the Attorney General), Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury, and Veterans Affairs. The Vice President is ex officio President of the Senate, and in the case of “the removal of the President, or of his death, resignation, or inability to discharge the powers and duties of his office”, he becomes the President. The legislative power belongs to the Congress of the United States consisting of two chambers: the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Senate is composed of two senators from each state elected for a term of 6 years, one-third being elected every two years. The number of representatives from each state to the House of Representatives depends on the number of people in each particular state. In order to become a law all bills and resolutions must pass both the Houses and must be signed by the President. The Supreme Court is the highest judicial organ of the United States and the head of the judicial branch of power. The Supreme Court consists of the Chief Justice of the USA and a number of Associate Justices. Ex. 16.

Ex. 22. Read and translate the text. The Court system of the United States The Judiciary Act of 1789 subdivided the nation into judicial districts and created federal courts for each district. This act established the basic structure of the national judiciary: the Supreme Court, 13 courts of appeals, 94 district courts, and two courts of special jurisdiction. Court structures vary from state to state, but all states have general trial courts that hear divorce cases, contract disputes, personal injury cases, and criminal cases. Some courts hear only specific disputes, for example, juvenile courts, tax courts, or probate courts. Municipal, town, village, small-claims, or police courts adjudicate local matters. The criminal cases handled by these courts are usually limited to traffic violations. In civil cases these courts usually hear cases involving matters that do not exceed a few thousand dollars in claims or awards. The U.S. Supreme Court, the nation’s highest court, consists of the chief justice of the United States and eight associate justices, each appointed by the president to serve for life. It considers cases from the highest courts of each state; the U.S. Court of Appeals; and the U.S. Court of Customs and Patent Ap148
peals. Only two types of cases may originate in the U.S. Supreme Court: those in which a state government is one of the parties and those involving ambassadors and foreign officials. There are 12 circuit courts of appeal in the federal system, one for each circuit or district. If a district court issues a ruling against you, you can file an appeal with the appellate court in your circuit. The circuit court of appeals hears cases from the district courts, as well as the special jurisdiction courts. The United States is divided into 12 districts, or circuits, and within each are federal district courts, which are trial courts. They handle both civil and criminal cases. Federal district court judges are appointed by the president for life, but they can be impeached by the House of Representatives and convicted by the Senate. In addition to the Supreme Court of the United States, United States Courts of Appeals, United States District Courts and United States Bankruptcy Courts, the federal courts system also includes courts referred to as the United States Courts of Special Jurisdiction. These courts cover the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, the Court of Federal Claims(hears monetary claims against the US government), the Court of International Trade (hears disputes relating to tariffs and customs), the Tax Court and some others. Each of these courts is responsible for handling specific types of cases and has its own court rules. Ex. 23.

The United States Congress The United States Congressis the bicameral legislature of the US federal government. It consists of two chambers, the Senateand the House of Representatives, with members chosen through direct election. The Senate is the upper house of the U.S. Congress. Each U.S. state is represented by two senators, regardless of population. This ensures equal representation of each state in the Senate. U.S. senators serve six-year terms. According to the U.S. Constitution, senators must meet the following requirements: be at least 30 years old, be a U.S. citizen for at least nine years, be a resident of the state he or she represents. The United States House of Representatives, commonly referred to as “the House”, is the lower house of the U.S. Congress. Each state receives representation in the House in proportion to its population but is entitled to at least one representative. The total number of voting representatives is currently fixed at 435. There are also five delegates and one resident commissioner, who do not have full voting rights. The House representatives serve two-year terms. 150
According to the U.S. Constitution, representatives must meet the following requirements: be at least 25 years old, be a U.S. citizen for at least seven years, be a resident of the state he or she represents. The primary duty of the Congress is to write, debate, and pass bills, which are then passed on to the president for approval. Once the president approves the legislation, the executive branch enforces the new laws and the judicial branch interprets them. Other congressional duties include investigating pressing national issues, supervising the executive and judicial branches, and shaping U.S. foreign policy. The Constitution of the United States grants Congress “all legislative powers” in the national government. Article 1, Section 8, of the Constitution lists a wide range of congressional powers, including printing money, declaring war, and regulating interstate and foreign commerce. Congress also controls federal taxing and spending policies. Congress shares many powers with the president. Congress takes equal responsibility with the president in framing U. S. foreign policy. The president and his representatives negotiate treaties with other countries, but the treaties go into effect only when the Senate approves them. Congress also shares control over the military with the president. Congress has the authority to declare war and provide funding for soldiers and weapons, but the president serves as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Ex. 28. Say if the following statements are true or false. 1. The Congress is the bicameral legislature of the US government. 2. The US Congress consists of one chamber. 3. The Senate is the lower house of the U.S. Congress. 4. The primary duty of the Congress is to write, debate, and pass bills.5. Congress shares many powers with the president. Ex. 29. Read and translate the text. Checks and Balances The US Constitution establishes three branches for the federal government: executive, legislative and judicial. The three branches work together to help the country. Each branch has its own responsibilities and powers. No branch has more power than the other branches. They have balanced powers. Each branch has separate duties to check the powers of the other branches. When a new state – the USA – was born, the Founders (founding fathers) of the state thought that if there was no balance of power among different branches of a government it would lead to tyranny. The problem was how to 151
create a system of government with balanced powers. That’s why James Madison (1751–1836) favored the constitution that limited government by means of separation of powers and a system of checks and balances, where checks – limitation of the duties of each branch, and balances – separate powers to each branch. Congress has the power to make laws, but the President may veto any act of Congress. Congress, in its turn, can pass a law over a veto by a two-thirds vote in each house. Congress can also refuse to provide funds requested by the President. The President can appoint important officials of his administration, but they must be approved by the Senate. The President also has the power to appoint all federal judges, but they also must be approved by the Senate. The system of checks and balances makes compromise and consensus necessary. This system protects against extremes. It means, for example, that new presidents cannot radically change governmental policies just as they wish. In the US, therefore, when people think of “the government”, they usually mean the whole system, that is, the executive branch, the President, Congress and the courts.

Ex. 10. Read and translate the text. The British Police Force There is no national police force in Britain. All police officers work for one of the separate forces. Each separate police force has responsibility for a particular geographical area. There are 52 police services in the United Kingdom. There are county police forces, city forces and special regional crime squads. Police services are employed and paid by their local governments. The police services are completely independent of one another but they are always ready to help each other. Each police force has its Criminal Investigation Department (CID). The duties of police in any country are to prevent crime, maintain public order and protect persons and property. A police officer usually works an eighthour shift. He or she begins the tour of duty with a roll call, during which the superior officer gives instructions, including information on wanted criminals. If on foot patrol, officers will start their rounds, watching people, places of business, and motor vehicle traffic. If they are on patrol car duty, they will do almost the same things. The radio (рация) in the patrol car will bring them orders to go to places where there is reported trouble. Such trouble may range from a bank robbery to stopping a fight or to picking up a stray dog from the street. Besides regular patrol work, police duties also include crime prevention activities. In large cities the police are sometimes called in to control or break up unauthorized demonstrations. There are separate riot squads, especially trained and equipped with shields, water cannon, tear gas, and other weapons. The London police force, called the Metropolitan Police(the Met), is not controlled by the local authority. It is responsible to the Home Secretary, and its chief officers are appointed by the local government. The Metropolitan Police was established by act of Parliament in 1829 by the then Home Secretary, Sir Robert Peel. The civilian nature of the force was emphasized in the uniforms, black stovepipe hats and blue swallowtail coats.
163
Men had to be under thirty-five, at least five feet seven inches tall, physically fit, literate and of good character. Many recruits were former soldiers or sailors, and came from outside London. Besides the ordinary police forces there are various police forces which protect the security of the territories and properties of public authorities. They include the British Transport Police, Aviation Police, Manchester Dock Police and some others. There are different types of police officers. The great majority of them are ordinary (рядовой) police officers, i.e. they usually serve for 25 years or more and then retire. In addition there is Special Constabulary. It consists of volunteers who assist police services in their own time. A special constable (or informally a special) has the powers and duties of an ordinary constable and wears an almost identical uniform. There are the following police ranks in Great Britain – chief constables, superintendents, inspectors, sergeants and constables. Intermediate ranks such as assistant chief constable, chief constable, chief superintendent, chief inspector may be adopted with the Home Secretary’s approval. The structure of a police force generally depends upon its type, responsibilities and size. Each force has a senior chief officer usually called the Chief Constable though in the two London forces – the Metropolitan Police and the City of London Police – the most senior officer is the Commissioner.

Ex. 16. Translate the text into Russian and discuss in pairs. British Constables Every sworn police officer in England and Wales is a Constable, irrespective of rank. On appointment each police officer makes a declaration to “faithfully discharge the duties of the Office of Constable”. In England and Wales, police officers swear allegiance to the monarch; this is to ensure the separation of power and political independence of the Office of Constable. The Office of Constable means a police officer has the additional legal powers of arrest and control of the public given to him or her directly by a sworn oath. These are not delegated powers simply because they have been employed as an officer and officers are not employees, they are not agents (сотрудники) of the police force, police authority or government. Those who hold the Office of Constable are servants of the Crown. Each sworn constable is an independent legal official and each police officer has personal liability for their actions or inaction (бездействие). 167
In England and Wales those who decide to become police officers take an oath at the point of becoming a constable.

Ex. 20.Read and translate the text. Detective Inspector Officers holding ranks up to and including Chief Superintendent who are members of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) or Special Branch (and certain other units) have the prefix “Detective” before their rank. Due to the nature of their duties, these officers generally wear plain clothes (except for ceremonial occasions) and so do not wear the corresponding rank insignia; however, they still operate within the same structure as their uniformed counterparts. In the United Kingdom a detective sergeant has the same powers and authority as a uniformed sergeant. The title detective is given to officers who, having completed intensive training, are assigned to the criminal investigation department of a police service. Eligible candidates must have the required police qualifications and for the 169
position of Inspector, currently hold at least the rank of sergeant. Their main task is to investigate serious crimes and act upon intelligence that can lead to an arrest. A detective police inspector is responsible for supervising constables and sergeants in the detection and prevention of crime and the investigation of serious incidents. Much of an inspector’s time is spent at the police station, controlling, planning and organising the work of others. Responsibilities may also include paperwork such as risk assessment and health and safety procedures. A detective police inspector should have excellent management, human resources and policing skills. A strong criminal investigative background is essential, as is the ability to motivate others, delegate tasks and maintain a general overview of police cases. Detective inspectors also act as a link between the investigating team and the more senior police ranks, so strong people skills (навыки, умение работать с людьми) and the ability to communicate with people at all levels are also crucial. The role of a detective police inspector may involve working longer than average hours on a wide range of crimes in areas such as: financial fraud, theft, arson, rape, murder.

Ex. 25. Read and translate the text. Scotland Yard Scotland Yard (officially New Scotland Yard) is the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police in London. Scotland Yard is situated on the Thames Embankment close to the Houses of Parliament and the familiar clock tower of Big Ben, and its jurisdiction extends over 740 square miles with the exception of the ancient City of London, which possesses its own separate Police force. One of the most successful developments in Scotland Yard’s crime detection and emergency service has been the “999 system”. On receipt of a call the 999 Room operator ascertains by electronic device the position of the nearest available police car, which is contacted by radio. Almost instantly, a message is also sent by teleprinter to the police stations concerned, so that within seconds of a call for assistance being received, a police car is on its way to the scene and all neighbouring police stations have been notified. Apart from the 999 Room, one of the most interesting places in Scotland Yard is the Map Room. Here is the General Crime Map, the Deaths by Violence Map, the Accidents Map and the Vehicles Recovered Map. An old-established section of the Metropolitan Police is the Mounted Branch, with its strength of about 200 horses stabled at strategic points. These horses are particularly suited to ceremonial occasions, for they are accustomed to military bands. An interesting branch of Scotland Yard is the branch of Police Dogs, first used as an experiment in 1938. Now these dogs are an important part of the police force. One dog, for example, can search a warehouse in ten minutes, whereas the same search would take six men an hour. There is also the River Police or Thames Division, which has its own crime investigation officers who handle all crimes occurring within its river boundaries. 172
There are two other departments of Scotland Yard – the Witness Room (known as the Rogues’ Gallery) where a photographic record of known or suspected criminals is kept, and the Museum, which contains murder relics, forgery exhibits and coining moulds. The name “Scotland Yard” originates from the plot of land adjoining Whitehall Palace where, in about the 14th century, the royalty and nobility of Scotland stayed when visiting the English Court. The popular nickname of the London policeman “bobby” is a tribute to Sir Robert Peel, who introduced the police force in 1829, and whose Christian name attached itself to members of the force.

Ex. 28. Read and discuss the text with your partner. Some Nicknames for British Police Two nicknames for British police, “bobbies” and “peelers” come from the founder of the Met Police, Sir Robert Peel. Peeler is obviously derived from 173
Peel (his surname), while Bobby (Bob) comes from the shortened form of the proper name Robert. Some have proposed that the reason police officers are called “cops” is because of the New York force’s copper badges (жетон). But according to Dr. Orville Boyd Jenkins,the source of this word is much earlier. The word “cop” is an old Anglo-Saxon verb for catch, snatch, grab or capture. The form “copper” was the noun for “one who cops”. In some sources the verb “to cop” is used with the meaning “to arrest” and maybe this was the source of the specific use of “cop” to refer to a police officer. The term “copper” was originally used in England as a slang word for a police officer. It was a term of abuse by criminals, especially petty street criminals and was considered highly derogatory by the police themselves. It was forbidden to call a police officer a cop. It is only in comparatively recent history that police themselves have accepted and used the word for themselves. (Why are Police Called Cops?http://orvillejenkins.com/words/cops.html) Ex. 29.

Ex. 4. Read and translate the following text. Police in the United States The United States inherited England’s common law and its system of policing. Most cities and towns used this system well into the 19 th century. The use of daytime police started in Boston in 1838 with a force of 6 men. In Boston and New York the old night watch and the day force continued, with the mayor in charge of day forces and the constable in charge of night watchmen. In 1844 New York City created the first police department in the United States, using the London Metropolitan Police as a model. Boston and Philadelphia followed. The model for American police originated in England: police were organized in a quasi-military command structure; there were no detectives; their task was prevention of crime and disorder. There are five major types of police agencies: 1) The federal system, consisting of agencies attached to the Department of Justice (the Federal Bureau of Investigation, together with 700 U.S. marshals), the Bureau of Internal Revenue (investigating tax evasions), the U.S. Secret Service, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Postal Inspection Service, and many others. Their task is to enforce federal laws. 2) Police forces and criminal investigation agencies established by each of the 50 states of the union. State police is headed by a commissioner superintendent who is usually appointed by the governor of the state. The mission of state police is to preserve law and order; to enforce criminal, traffic and regulatory laws; and to provide security and safety services. 3) Sheriffs and deputy sheriffs in more than 3,000 counties, plus a few county police forces. The county sheriff is elected to office and employs a staff of deputies performing duties as uniformed policemen. The sheriff is also responsible for prisoners kept in the county jail. 4) The police forces of about 1,000 cities and more than 20,000 townships and New England towns. Town and city police are municipal agencies. 5) The police of some 15,000 villages, boroughs, and incorporated towns. To this list must be added special categories, such as the police of the District of Columbia; various forces attached to authorities governing bridges, tunnels, parks and parkways; university police forces; and some units for policing special districts formed for fire protection, soil conservation, and other purposes. The above mentioned police forces are controlled in different ways. The federal bodies are responsible to the federal authorities, and the state forces – to the governors of their states. At local levels there are variations. States are divided into counties, and every county has its sheriff with responsibilities for the investigation of crime and the supervision of the custody of prisoners. In some states there are county police forces under the control of county boards. In some places county police forces are completely independent of the sheriffs office. 182

The Federal Bureau of Investigation The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is the primary investigative arm of the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), serving as both a federal criminal investigative body and a domestic intelligence agency. It was established in 1908 as the Bureau of Investigation (BOI), and the name was changed to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), in 1935. At present, the FBI has investigative jurisdiction over violations of more than 200 categories of federal crimes, making the FBI the de-facto lead law enforcement agency of the United States government.

The director of the old BOI, J. Edgar Hoover, became the first FBI director and served for nearly 48 years. After Hoover’s death, legislation was passed limiting the tenure of future FBI directors to a maximum of ten years. The Scientific Crime Detection Laboratory, or the FBI Laboratory, officially opened in 1932, largely as a result of Hoover’s efforts. Hoover had substantial involvement in most cases and projects the FBI handled during his tenure. The FBI headquarters is in Washington, D.C., and there are also 56 field offices located in major cities throughout the United States as well as over 400 resident agencies in smaller cities and towns across the nation, and more than 50 international offices, called “Legal Attachés” in U.S. embassies worldwide. In fiscal year 2006, the FBI’s total budget was approximately $8.7 billion, including $495 million in program increases to enhance counter-terrorism, counter-intelligence, cybercrime, information technology, security, forensics, training, and criminal programs. According to its congressional budget justification for the fiscal year 2009, for the past several years the FBI has assumed a growing responsibility for collecting foreign intelligence, in response to a May, 2006 request from the Director of National Intelligence. The mission of the FBI is “To protect and defend the United States against terrorist and foreign intelligence threats, to uphold and enforce the criminal laws of the United States, and to provide leadership and criminal justice services to federal, state, municipal, and international agencies and partners”.

The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is a department of the United States federal government, created in response to the September 11 attacks, and with the primary responsibility of protecting the territory of the U.S. from terrorist attacks. It now includes the United States Secret Service, which protects the President and the Vice President of the United States, their families as well as investigating counterfeiting crimes involving U.S. currency and monetary instruments; U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and others. An agency that maintains order, prevents and detects crime is the Police. Federal law-enforcement officers have the power to enforce various laws not only at the federal level, but also state, county, and local in many circumstances. The federal government is prohibited from exercising general police powers due to restrictions in the constitution, because the United States is organized as a union of sovereign states, which each retain their police, military and domestic law-making powers. Police functions are as follows: crime fighting; order maintenance; first aid rendering. Because police agencies are traditionally available year-round, 24 hours a day, citizens call upon police departments not only in times of trouble, but also when just inconvenienced. As a result, police services may include roadside auto assistance, finding lost pets or property, or checking locks on vacationers’ homes. In the United States, a sheriff is a county official and is typically the top law-enforcement officer of a county. Historically, the sheriff was also a commander of the militia in that county. Distinctive to law-enforcement in the United States, sheriff s are usually elected. The political election of a person to serve as a police leader is an almost uniquely American tradition. The law185

Special Agents candidates also have to pass a Physical Fitness Test (PFT) that includes a 300-meter run, one-minute sit-ups, maximum push-ups, and a 1.5-mile (2.4 km) run. There is also a polygraph test that personnel have to pass, with questions including possible drug use. After potential special agent candidates are cleared with TS clearance and a non-disclosure agreement is signed, they attend the FBI training facility located on Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia. Candidates spend approximately 21 weeks at the FBI Academy, where they receive over 500 classroom hours and over 1,000 simulated law enforcement hours to train.

He was a native of Washington, D.C. He went to school there and then to George Washington University where he studied law. As a student he was brilliant and had a great choice after graduating from the University. But Hoover got a job in the Department of Justice. Very soon they sent him to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. That was in 1924 when J.E. Hoover was forty. For many years he was the head of the FBI and made it the world’s greatest law enforcement organization. He opened a technician and scientific laboratory, identifications division, set up a lot of training schools. He was also the initiator of the National Police Academy where he taught, as the chief instructor. John Hoover had a photographic mind: he called agents by their first names, he remembered all investigations and their results. He said: “The main task of the FBI is the protection of people against crime”. As to his personal life, he had no time to love and get married. When he was not busy with his service in the FBI he usually went fishing or hunting. Hoover played tennis very well. He also liked good music. Ex. 22.

International Police Co-Operation in Combating Cross-Border Crime The growth in cross-border crime is going on in many countries today. The development of increasingly sophisticated facilities for rapid travel has made it easier for criminals to move around the world. At the same time, the complex structures of modern societies and the constant growth of international exchanges provide more and more opportunities for international criminal activity, which has expanded enormously now and reached alarming proportions. Individuals and companies are being subjected to increasing pressure from criminals, leading to widespread feelings of insecurity. The term “international crime”, although in common use, does not necessarily refer to specific types of offence defined in law. When criminal acts, deals and schemes violate the laws of more than one country, they are said to, be cross-border, transnational or international crimes. The UN has classified all transnational crimes into 17 groups: money laundering terrorism; theft of art works and cultural objects; theft of intellectual property; illicit arms trade; hijacking of planes; piracy; hijacking on highways; fraud in insurance computer-related crime; ecological crime; trade in humans; trade in human organs drug trafficking; sham bankruptcy; penetrating legal business; corruption and bribing public figures, party leaders, and elected officials. Some offences are covered by international conventions, for instance, currency counterfeiting (1929 Convention), traffic in human beings and the exploitation of prostitution (1949 Convention), and drug trafficking (1988 Convention). Other offences, however, can be classified as “international” because of the behaviour of the offenders. For instance, preparations for committing an offence may be made in one country while the actual offence is committed in one or more countries. To take another example, similar offences may be committed one after the other in several different countries. Finally, an offender may escape across a border after committing his offence, he may transfer his illicit gains abroad, or he may conceal objects or documents used to commit the offence in another country. Tracing and arresting such offenders may prove extremely difficult; problems can arise in connection with exchanging information, identification, international investigations and subsequent extradition. Because of these problems, police services in different countries must work together if they are to combat international crime successfully. 201

plex structures of modern societies and the constant growth of international exchanges provide more and more opportunities for international criminal activity, which has now reached alarming proportions. Because of these problems, police departments in different countries must work together to combat international crime successfully. Interpol (the International Criminal Police Organization) is the largest international police organization in the world. It was set up in 1923 at the meeting of police officers from 20 countries in Vienna to facilitate cross-border criminal police cooperation and today has 182 member countries spread over five continents. It supports and assists all organizations, authorities and services whose mission is to prevent or combat international crime. Article 5 of the Interpol Constitution stipulates that “The International Criminal Police Organization – Interpol shall comprise: the General Assembly, the Executive Committee, the General Secretariat, the National Central Bureaus and the Advisers”. The General Assembly meets once a year, makes decisions regarding strategy and policy and approves finances, working methods, instruments of cooperation and programmes of activities. The Executive Committee, which normally meets three times a year, prepares the agenda for the General Assembly, approves the programmes of activities, etc. Interpol’s General Secretariat provides a fast and reliable communication system that links police around the globe. Its priority activities concern public safety and terrorism, criminal organizations, drug-related crimes, financial and high-tech crimes, trafficking in human beings, and fugitive investigation support. Each Interpol member country maintains a National Central Bureau (NCB) staffed by national law enforcement officers. The NCB gives assistance with overseas investigations and the location and apprehension of fugitives. One of Interpol’s most important tasks is to place member countries on alert about people who are being detected by police forces worldwide but it is a member country’s domestic police who make a request to place criminals on the Interpol wanted list and it is domestic police who, for the most part, must track and arrest them. Interpol is the sum of its constituent parts, but the General Secretariat in Lyon is the essential coordinating mechanism that gives its members access to international databases of criminal information as well as a global view on specific crimes, patterns and trends.

Ex. 24. Read and translate the following text. How does Interpol Fight Crime? Because of the politically neutral role Interpol must play, its Constitution forbids any involvement in any political, military, religious, or racial crimes. Its work centers primarily on public safety and terrorism, organized crime, illicit drug production and drug trafficking, weapons smuggling, trafficking in human beings, money laundering, child pornography, financial and high-tech crime and corruption. Interpol’s principal target is the international criminal, of which there are three main categories: those who operate in more than one country, such as smugglers, dealing mainly in gold and narcotics and other illicit drugs; criminals who do not travel at all but whose crimes affect other countries – for example, a counterfeiter of foreign bank notes; and criminals who commit a crime in one country and flee to another. At its headquarters in Lyon, France, Interpol maintains a voluminous record of international criminals, their identities, associates, and methods of working, gathered from the police of the member countries. This information is sent over Interpol’s telecommunications network. Each member country has its own Interpol office, or National Central Bureau (NCB), which is staffed by the national police force. These bureaus contact any foreign agency or government who wish to exchange or gather information on particular criminal activities. Interpol maintains a large database keeping unsolved crimes and both convicted and wanted criminals. At any time, a member nation has access to specific sections of the database and its police forces may check information held by Interpol whenever a major crime is committed. 205

Europol Europol is the European Union law enforcement organization that handles criminal intelligence. Its aim is to improve the effectiveness and cooperation between the competent authorities of the Member States in preventing and combating serious international organized crime and terrorism. The mission of Europol is to make a significant contribution to the European Union’s law enforcement action against crime with an emphasis on targeting criminal organizations. Europol (the name is a contraction of European Police Office) is the European Union’s criminal intelligence agency. The agency started limited operations on January 3, 1994, as the Europol Drugs Unit (EDU). In 1998 the Europol Convention was ratified by all the member states and came into force in October. Europol became fully operational on July 1, 1999. Europol has no executive powers. This means that Europol officials are not entitled to conduct investigations in the member states or to arrest suspects. In providing support, Europol with its tools – information exchange, intelligence analysis, expertise and training can contribute to the executive measures carried out by the relevant national authorities. Europol is a multi-disciplinary agency, comprising not only regular police officers but staff members from the member states’ law enforcement agencies: customs, immigration services, border and financial police, etc. Europol helps to overcome the language barriers in international police cooperation. Any law enforcement officer from a member state can address a request to their Europol National Unit (ENU) in her / his mother tongue and receive the answer back in this language. 206
Three different levels of cooperation are possible: the first one is technical cooperation. The next step is strategic cooperation aimed at exchanging general trends in organized crime and how to fight it. The top level of cooperation includes the exchange of personal data and requires the fulfillment of Europol’s standards in the field of data protection and data security. The director is the head of the central unit. The Director of Europol is appointed by the EU Council of Ministers. The principal duties of the director are to carry out the day-to-day administration, the budget, and the decisions of the administrative council. The duties also include acting as the legal representative of Europol. Ex. 27. Answer the questions. 1. The European Police Office is a support service for the law enforcement agencies of the EU Member States, isn’t it? What does it mean? 2. What tools does the support provided by Europol consist of? 3. What law enforcement activities of the Member States does Europol support? 4. Is there any competition between Interpol and Europol? What are their roles in the fight against organized crime? 5. Should you contact Europol if you know about a crime being planned or a crime that has been committed? Ex. 28.

Ex. 29. Read the text to find some new information. The United Nations Office On Drugs And Crime The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) is a United Nations office that was established in 1997 as the Office for Drug Control and Crime Prevention by combining the United Nations International Drug Control Program (UNDCP) and the Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Division in the United Nations Office at Vienna. It is a member of the United Nations Development Group and was renamed the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime in 2002. In 2016–2017 it has an estimated biannual budget of US $ 700 million. 208
The agency, employing between 1,500 and 2,000 people worldwide, has its headquarters in Vienna (Austria), with 21 field offices and two liaison offices in Brussels and in New York City. The United Nations Secretary-General appoints the agency’s Executive Director. The office aims long-term to better equip governments to handle drug-, crime-, terrorism-, and corruption-related issues, to maximise knowledge on these issues among governmental institutions and agencies, and also to maximise awareness of said matters in public opinion, globally, nationally and at community level. Approximately 90 % of the Office’s funding comes from voluntary contributions, mainly from governments. UNODC was established to assist the UN in better addressing a coordinated, comprehensive response to the interrelated issues of illicit trafficking in and abuse of drugs, crime prevention and criminal justice, international terrorism, and political corruption. These goals are pursued through three primary functions: research, guidance and support to governments in the adoption and implementation of various crime-, drug-, terrorism-, and corruption-related conventions, treaties and protocols, as well as technical / financial assistance to said governments to face their respective situations and challenges in these fields. These are the main themes that UNODC deals with: Alternative Development, Corruption, Criminal Justice, Prison Reform and Crime Prevention, Drug Prevention, Treatment and Care, HIV and AIDS, Human Trafficking and Migrant Smuggling, Money Laundering, Organized Crime, Piracy, Terrorism Prevention. UNODC, as the custodian of UNCAC, is also one of the main initiators of the establishment of the International Anti-Corruption Academy (IACA), whose main function is to, inter alia, facilitate more effective implementation of the UNCAC. UNODC launches campaigns to raise awareness of drugs and crime problems. World Drug Campaign The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) started this international campaign to raise awareness about the major challenge that illicit drugs represent to society as a whole, and especially to the young. The goal of the campaign is to mobilize support and to inspire people to act against drug abuse and trafficking. The campaign encourages young people to put their health first and not to take drugs. World AIDS Campaign Young people aged 15 to 24 account for an estimated 40 per cent of new adult (15+) HIV infections worldwide. In some parts of the world, and in some marginalized sub-groups, the most frequent modes of HIV transmission for these young people are unsafe injecting drug use and unsafe sexual activities. 209
Because young people are also often more likely to use drugs, The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) targets this population with a campaign to raise awareness about drug use and its connection to the spread of HIV and AIDS. The slogan: “Think Before You Start ... Before You Shoot ... Before You Share” is used to provoke young people to consider the implications of using drugs, and particularly injecting drugs. Blue Heart Campaign Against Human Trafficking The Blue Heart Campaign seeks to encourage involvement and action to help stop trafficking in persons. The campaign also allows people to show solidarity with the victims of human trafficking by wearing the Blue Heart. The use of the blue UN colour demonstrates the commitment of the United Nations to combat this crime. Ex. 30. Answer the questions. 1. In which country is the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime situated? 2. In which countries does this agency have its liaison offices? 3.

Ex. 10. Read and translate the text. Crime and Punishment A crime is understood as a socially dangerous act (or omission) directed against social and state system. It is defined in criminal legislation as dangerous to society. Each crime consists of a number of individual elements. These elements characterize the purpose, the form, the method and the character of the criminal act. The sum of total elements defining a specific crime comprises corpus delicti of a crime. Сorpus delicti in any act is ground for establishing criminal responsibility against the offender. Corpus delicti simply means the body of a crime. Each crime has an immediate object. Thus murder has as its immediate object human life; theft – state or personal property; rowdyism – public law and order, etc. The subject of a crime is a person who commits a crime and is responsible for it. Only persons who have attained a certain age and are compos mentis can be subjects of a crime. The persons who have reached the age 16 years before the commission of a crime are criminally responsible; but for some crimes (murder, deliberate in220
fliction of bodily injury, brigandage, stealing, robbery, rowdyism with evil intent, etc.) the age is 14 years. A person who, at the time of commission of a socially dangerous act, is non-compos mentis is not criminally responsible. A person who, at the time of the commission of a crime, is compos mentis but who, before a sentence is passed by the court, is affected by mental derangement, is not liable to punishment. By an order of the court compulsory treatment may be applied to such persons and on recovery from their illness they may be liable to punishment. Crimes may be classified in various ways: 1) crimes against the person, such as murder, manslaughter, homicide, rape, assault, battery, domestic violence, kidnapping, stalking, sexual harassment; 2) crimes against the property, such as arson, larceny, robbery, burglary, theft bribery, extortion, embezzlement; 3) crimes against the government, such as treason, smuggling, terrorism, violating election laws, sedition, espionage, counterfeiting, tax evasion, illegal enterprise, false bankruptcy, money laundering.

Ex. 16. Read and translate the text. Types of Crimes (USA) In every state, crimes are put into distinct categories. The categories are usually “infraction”, “misdemeanor”, and “felony”. Decisions on crime classification are made by state legislators; the determination focuses on the seriousness of the crime. Infractions (sometimes called violations) are petty offenses that are usually punishable by fines, but not jail time. Because infractions cannot result in a jail sentence or even probation, defendants charged with infractions do not have a right to a jury trial. A defendant who has been charged with an infraction can hire an attorney, but the government doesn't have a constitutional duty to appoint one. Traffic offenses are the most common form of infraction. Misdemeanors are criminal offenses that carry up to a year in jail in most states. Examples of misdemeanors are perjury, obtaining money by false pretences, conspiracy, etc. Punishment for misdemeanors can also include payment of a fine, probation, community service, and restitution. Defendants charged with misdemeanors are often entitled to a jury trial. Some states subdivide misdemeanors by class or degree or define more serious misdemeanor offenses as “gross misdemeanors”. These classifications determine the severity of punishment. Misdemeanor Example. Dave is convicted of simple assault. The offense carries a maximum fine of $1,000 and maximum jail time of six months. Felonies (such as murder, rape, arson, aggravated assault) are the most serious type of criminal offense. Felonies often involve serious physical harm (or threat of harm) to victims, but they also include offenses like white collar crimes and fraud schemes. Offenses that otherwise are misdemeanors can be elevated to felonies for second-time offenders. A felony conviction, like a misdemeanor conviction, may not result in time behind bars. But felonies carry potential imprisonment that ranges from time in prison (a year is often the low end) to life in prison. As with misdemeanors, states may also subdivide felonies by class or degree. Felony Example 1. Randy is convicted of felony assault with a deadly weapon even though the bottle that he threw at another patron in a tavern missed its intended target. Even though he failed to injure the intended victim, his behavior was intended to (and did) create a risk of serious physical injury. Felony Example 2. Leora had two prior shoplifting convictions before being arrested for yet another shoplifting offense. State law allows prosecutors to charge shoplifting as a felony if the merchandise was worth a certain amount and the defendant has two or more prior shoplifting convictions. The prosecutor charges Leora with felony shoplifting. 224

COMPLEX SENTENCES СЛОЖНЫЕ ПРЕДЛОЖЕНИЯ Сложные предложения бывают двух типов: сложносочиненные (compound sentences) и сложноподчиненные (complex sentences). Сложносочиненные предложения состоят из равноправных простых предложений, не зависящих друг от друга. Простые предложения, входящие в состав сложносочиненного предложения соединяются сочинительными союзами (and– и; а; but– но; or– или, иначе). Например: Go at once or you will miss your train. Идите немедленно, иначе вы опоздаете на поезд. He went home, and I remained at the crime scene. Он ушел домой, а я остался на месте преступления. Сложноподчиненное предложение состоит из главного предложения и придаточного. Придаточное предложение соединяется с главным при помощи подчинительных союзов и союзных слов.

Ex. 5. Read and translate the text. Crime investigation Investigation means a search for the truth, for the criminal, for the witnesses who can help to conduct investigation and will present evidence of a crime in court. No successful investigation is available without highly professional law enforcement officers who possess courage, intelligence, dedication, common sense, professional instinct and sleuthing abilities. To conduct investigation successfully and to solve a crime quickly and accurately an investigator must do his best in performing his job. He is to combine theory and practice. He should know not only theoretical fundamentals of law enforcement but he should also be skilled in marksmanship, driving a patrol car, communicating with the public. An investigator often operates in plain clothes in his undercover work. He conducts surveillance of persons and penetrates the underworld. An investigator is a person who collects facts to accomplish three aims: to identify and locate a criminal and to provide evidence of his guilt. Investigation 234
is divided into three stages: a criminal is identified; a criminal is traced and located; the facts proving his guilt are gathered for court presentation. At the first stage a criminal is identified as the `perpetrator of the criminal act. The identity of a criminal is discovered using confession and eyewitness testimony. Confession is an excellent means of identifying a criminal but it must be supported by other evidence. Eyewitness testimony is one of the most important sources of evidence. The ideal identification is made by several objective persons who know the appearance of the accused and who personally witnessed the commission of the crime. Identification may be established by physical (direct) and circumstantial (indirect) evidence. Physical evidence usually involves the objects found at the crimescene. A perpetrator may leave some clue at the crime scene such as a weapon, tools, fingerprints, footprints. He may carry from the scene a trace in the form of glass, paint, hair or blood. Crimes of violence will leave the evidence of physical struggle. At the second stage of the investigation a criminal is located. To locate and apprehend a criminal an investigator mustknow personally the offenders, their distinctive marks, their friends, relatives and close associates. He becomes familiar with the salient features of a criminal’s modus operandi. An investigator uses informants and obtains confidential information from them. The third and the most difficult stage of the investigation is collecting the facts necessary in the trial to prove the guilt of the accused and to present evidence in court. Ex. 6.

Ex. 12. Read and translate the text. Crime Scene Investigation (SCI) As soon as an operative group gets the information of the crime commit-
238
ted it goes out to the crime scene. The crime scene means the place where the crime such as burglary, larceny, homicide, traffic crime or motor vehicle theft, etc. takes place. An operative group consists of an investigator, a field-criminalist (exhibits officer, forensic scientist), an inspector of the CID (an operative), a medical expert, a dog-guide (a bobby handler). Each of them has their own duties at the crime scene. They should master special means, methods and forms of crime solution and work in close cooperation to solve the crime quickly and accurately. The process of the CSI usually includes a preliminary investigation, a general observation, a detailed search and a final stage. At the preliminary stage a search commander (usually an investigator) directs the crime scene investigation, takes measures to detain suspects, ensures crime scene protection, searches for eyewitnesses and witnesses of a crime. At the stage of the general investigation an investigator analyses the situation, makes a plan for search. Basing on all the data gathered he tries to reconstruct the happening as to: Where? What? When? How? Why? Who? At the stage of the detailed search an investigator makes diagrams, sketches, takes pictures of the objects of the crime scene. A field-criminalist (an exhibits officer) helps an investigator to solve a crime. He is responsible for crime scene and exhibits integrity. An exhibits officer records the detailed information concerning the exhibit signs and labels. He develops and takes traces of the crime act (fingerprints, footprints, a sample of hair, blood stains, secretions, fibers etc.) and packs the traces of the crime for a forensic laboratory, makes plaster casts, etc. An operative finds witnesses, eyewitnesses, victims and suspects. He locates and apprehends suspects and criminals, identifies a criminal using the methods of identification. An operative also takes measures for search, discovery and seizure of stolen property and instruments of a crime. An investigator interviews witnesses and victims and interrogates criminals and suspects. A medical expert gives first aid to a victim or conducts an external examination of a corpse. A bobby-handler together with a police dog helps to locate and apprehend a criminal. At the final stage of the crime scene survey an investigator makes conclusions taking into account all available information, makes a record of the crime scene observation. If all the facts gathered during the crime scene investigation show corpus delicti, an investigator brings the criminal action. Ex. 13.

Ex. 17. Read and translate the text. Identification in Police Investigation Identification is the most important function of the investigator in any investigation he may conduct. The methods which are most frequently employed are: portrait parle, fingerprinting, photography, the artist's sketch and identikit, modus operandi, the eyewitness, voiceprint, and reports from the crime laboratory. Fingerprinting is the most widely used method in police work. Portrait parleis defined as a verbal picture or description of a human body. It was devised in 1882 by Alphonse Bertillon. Twenty commonly used points of personal physical description are ordinarily employed: ethnic data, height, weight, build, head shape, face shape, complexion, hair, facial hair, eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, chin, ears, scars, blood groups, physical defects. As an aid in identifying a subject ten behavioral characteristics are commonly used: speech pattern, walk, handedness,habits, nervous disorders, narcotics use, alcohol use, tobacco use, sexual behaviour, mental disorders. Photography is widely used in identification. Not infrequently witnesses and even officers experience difficulty in accurately describing a person, a place or thing, but, when they are shown a photograph, they are able to confirm or deny the content of the photograph as it depicts a place or thing. Often, even with the aid of photography, identification cannot be established, and it then is necessary to couple the technique of the verbal description with that of the artist's sketch. In recent years, some of the particular sizes, shapes, angles, and other features of the human head have been standardized to the point that with a description and the manipulation of various plastic overlays of the identikit, an accurate picture of a person can be made in black and white in a period of a few minutes. Such a picture then may be transmitted by fax to other agencies, printed in newspapers and made public if necessary. A further method available is the confrontation of a suspect in custody with an eyewitness. This is accomplished most generally through a process called a line-up whereby a witness or victim observes and hears the suspect talk, but the suspect does not see the witness. In many investigations, no description of a person suspected of criminal activity is available. Thus, an identification will be attempted to make by analyzing the methods and techniques employed by the suspect, those which are known as his modus operandi (method of operation or M.O.) in the perpetration of his crimes. Special files of M.O. are kept in identification bureaus. The evidence of modus operandi is of great importance in detecting pickpocketing, burglaries, shoplifting, sex-offences, arsons, murders, etc. Fingerprinting is the only sure way to confirm the identity of a person who is suspected of crime. When a finger touches surface of an object, the print of his finger is left on the surface. This is called a fingerprint. Every fingerprint 242
is unique. This principle is used by all police forces to identify criminals (or sometimes dead bodies). So, if a suspect arrested does not confess his guilt it may be proved by comparing his fingerprints with those found at the scene and showing that they are identical. Fingerprints of criminals are collected and filed in criminal record offices. In practice, all persons accused of crime are fingerprinted on arrest and before trial.Thefts, robberies and murders are often solved with the help of fingerprinting. Other items of physical evidence – direct and indirect (circumstantial) may also be removed from the crime scene.

Ex. 21. Read, translate and retell the text. The Dos and Don’ts of Effective Questioning It takes many years of hands-on (practical) experience to truly understand the nuances of effective questioning. 244
An interviewer must be able to interpret verbal and non-verbal behavior, and must understand the value in observation. An interviewer must be able to apply legal, psychological, and interrogative research within the process whether (будь то) interviewing victims, witnesses or suspects. What follows is a short list of interrogation tips that may help other interviewers in their quest to find the truth. Tip #1: Prepare. The most important part of any interrogation happens before questioning begins. Before you walk into that room, be sure you have conducted a thorough investigation. Exhaust all potential investigative avenues to gather reliable information that can help you in any way during the questioning process. And, have an interrogation strategy. Whenever possible try never to go into an interview “cold” (неприветливый; равнодушный). Tip #2: Anticipate Behavior. While you cannot predict what the interviewee will say or do, you should always anticipate responses to problems (вопросы) during the interview. Techniques are taught to help avoid conflict during the conversation. Anticipate what type of denials (emphatic or explanatory) the subject is going to offer based on his background and the case facts. Tip #3: RESPECT. This is one of the most often overlooked aspects of interrogation. Always treat the individual with the same consideration and respect that you would like if the situation were reversed. This is the sign of a true professional. And do not use coercive tactics. Actions such as yelling, screaming, making threats or promises of leniency should not be used. Tip #4: Hands Off. You should never touch the subject during the interview process. Other than shaking hands before and after the interview, any physical contact with the subject should be avoided. In litigation, even innocent touches or movements during the interview may be twisted to infer or support a claim (утверждение) of coercion or some other argument presented by the interviewee’s attorney. Tip #5: Document. Make sure to take a thorough written statement at the conclusion of the interview. The dishonest individual’s statement needs to include intent, elements of the crime or violation and be thoroughly substantiated. There are dozens of additional tips that can help interrogators. The fact is, a non-confrontational “interview” is going to be much more effective than confrontation. Establish a relationship. Have a conversation. And, always on the side of safety by making good “business” decisions instead of emotional ones. Ex. 22.

Ex. 1. Read and translate the text. Terrorism Terrorism means violence against civilians to achieve political or ideological objectives by creating extreme fear. It is the use of force or violence against persons or property in violation of the criminal laws of the government for purposes of intimidation, coercion, or ransom. Terrorists use threats to create fear among the public in an effort to convince them that their government is powerless to stop acts of terrorism. Terrorists believe that if they can cause some sort of panic that they can force people to fear them and in turn, have power over them. It is also a way for the terrorists to get publicity for their causes or to force governments to do something. Terrorist tactics include shootings, hijackings, kidnappings, bombings, holding hostages, stabbing attacks and suicide bombings. Other tactics are seen more unconventional and have only been used in a few instances, if at all. However, these unconventional tactics are perceived by government officials and experts as serious potential threats. Some types of unconventional terrorism tactics commonly recognized by terrorism experts are bioterrorism, agroterrorism, nuclear terrorism, and cyberterrorism. Counter-terrorism (also spelled counterterrorism) incorporates the practice, military tactics, techniques, and strategy that government, military, law enforcement, business, and intelligence agencies use to combat or prevent terrorism. Counter-terrorism strategies include attempts to counter financing of terrorism. Ex. 2.

Ex. 7. Read and translate the text. Super Terrorism Terrorism has always been a serious issue, but the days when it involved small-scale bombing and assassinations could be over. Terrorists with the backing of substantial financial, ideological and human resources could develop into super terrorism. Super terrorism can be defined as an act of terrorism carried out by a terrorist group using nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons. The scope of this definition has been further widened recently to encompass cyber attacks as well. Expert opinion on super terrorism has been divided. However, many analysts think that the possibility of a nuclear terrorist attack has in all likelihood receded (power stations are extremely well protected against terrorists, containing emergency systems which immediately shut down at the first sign of trouble) compared to other possibilities such as chemical and biological terrorism. This is due to the relative ease of production and related costs associated with the latter two. Biological warfare is a frightening prospect, especially as biological weapons are cheap to make and therefore attractive to terrorist organizations. The effects are potentially devastating. One detailed American study looked at the test case of a small boat spraying anthrax spores into a light south-easterly breeze from the southern tip of Manhattan Island. Anthrax is an airborne disease which is almost always fatal to humans. The report states: “If only half the target personnel are exposed and develop pulmonary anthrax; if only half the cases result in death, more than 600,000 deaths would occur”. The terrorists could also be long gone by the time the anthrax symptoms were identified in the victims. 255
Chemical weapons are also cheap and easy to get hold of. Once again technology has potentially aided the terrorists: air conditioning systems could provide the perfect way of distributing dangerous gas extremely quickly through a building. Gas has already been used in a terrorist attack. In 1995 religious fanatics released deadly sarin gas in the Tokyo subway. Twelve people died and more than 5,500 were injured, suffering temporary or even permanent blindness. Surveillance equipment installed in buildings, airports, underground stations, etc. can help to avoid such instances in the future. In addition, staff should be carefully trained to recognize unusual smells and to evacuate stations, airports and other public places speedily. Terrorism works by acting directly on the public through intimidation. The fact is that people are affected by it. Unfortunately, there is very little we can do about it except place our faith in the government, and hope that the measures taken to prevent terrorism are successful. But if we allow ourselves to be intimidated by it, then it has already worked. Ex. 8.

Ex. 13. Read and translate the text. Transnational Crimes Transnational crime is understood as crime that takes place across the borders of two or more countries. Global crime has a similar definition, as it is criminal activity conducted across the globe. Transnational crime has been a part of international relations and international trade for quite some time. However, as societies and individuals become more connected to one another, this globalization enables criminal networks to work alongside legal global activities and to establish connections with many different countries. There are a number of reasons for the rise of transnational crime in international relations and in the world today. The notion of transnational crime is intertwined with revolutionary technological, financial, communications, economic, cultural, and political changes that characterize globalization, and it is increasingly difficult to separate criminal activities from legitimate global transactions. Some have argued that one factor for global crime has been the fall of the Soviet Union, which has allowed groups easier access to operate in the international system. In addition to shifting geopolitical realities, other reasons for transnational crime have been linked to issues of poverty and economic imbalances. Other factors may include failed states, global migration, growth of global cities, the expansion of free trade, rapid communications and computer technologies, and easy global financial transactions. When discussing the definition of transnational crime, it is important to separate it from what is referred to as international crime. Transnational crimes are crimes often committed with financial profit in mind, international crime includes crimes such as human rights abuses, genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, etc. And while transnational crime is crime carried out across two or more international borders, international crime can take place within the borders of one state, and in fact, it often does. However transnational crime is sometimes called international crime or cross-border crime. There are many different classifications of transnational crime in the international system. Transnational crimes can be grouped into three broad categories involving provision of illicit goods (drug trafficking, trafficking in stolen property, weapons trafficking, and counterfeiting), illicit services (commercial sex and human trafficking), and infiltration of business and government (fraud, racketeering, money laundering, and corruption) affecting multiple countries. Some other types of transnational crime are kidnapping, human slavery, goods smuggling, piracy, cyber-attacks, trading in stolen art, trading of exotic animals, illegal animal and plant products and other goods prohibited on environmental grounds (e.g. banned ozone depleting substances), sex slavery, terrorism offences and other criminal activities.

Transnational organized crime has become a central issue in international affairs, an important factor in the global economy and an immediate reality for people around the world. Aside from the direct effects - drug addiction, sexual exploitation, environmental damage and a host of other scourges - organized crime has the capacity to undermine the rule of law and good governance, without which there can be no sustainable development. Tracing and arresting transnational offenders may prove extremely difficult. Problems can arise in connection with exchanging information, identification, international investigations and subsequent extradition. Because of these problems, police services in different countries must work together if they are to combat transnational crime successfully. Ex. 14.

What rights do police have? 4. What is public order? 5. What does it involve? 6. What are the main forms of nuisances? 7. What did magistrates prosecute people for? 8. What oath do police officers take? Police and Public Order In 1829 Sir Richard Mayne, one of the founders of Scotland Yard, wrote “The main object of an efficient police is the prevention of crime, detection, identification and punishment of offenders if a crime is committed. The police must direct their efforts to these ends. Therefore, every law enforcement officer must remember that it is his duty to protect and help members of the public”. The police have a wide range of activities. The main duties are: maintaining public order, criminal investigation and law enforcement. Policemen protect state and public property and personal property of the citizens. The citizens must observe laws, government decrees and local ordinances, which regulate public order. The police are to see that people abide to traffic rules. They issue internal passports and control the internal passport system, take measures to ensure the safety of traffic and impose fines. The police officers have to maintain order in public places, provide first aid for people who involve in road accidents. What is public order? This is not a question that is easy to answer. We may say that “public order” is essentially the absence of disorder – the quiet and orderly behavior of people in public place. It involves people behaving sensibly and rationally, and respecting others. The problem is that one person's exuberance on the street often constitutes an annoyance to another. Then there are 269
problems of nuisances in the form of obstructions on a street or a roadway, or dangerous dogs, possibly even a runaway horse. The old time parish constables had to present offenders before magistrates for “nuisance” and they prosecuted people for riding horses, or driving wagons dangerously. The new police continued these old practices. The police are often regarded as, primarily, crime fighters. But police offices take an oath to maintain “public order”. Ex. 13.

Ex. 17. Read and translate the text to find out information about traffic police. Traffic Police The Traffic Police are a police unit specialized in traffic law enforcement. Traffic control and traffic direction are the main tasks of the Traffic Police. Traffic control is an attempt to solve the problem of a human survival on the roads in our mechanical and electronic era. The basic purpose of the Police Traffic Control Unit is to protect road users. The control includes the protection of all road users against each other and even the individual road user against himself. This kind of protection demands from the Traffic Police particular knowledge of different sciences, special analysis methods as well as planning police road safety process. Special education and training programs, special police tactics and police control devices are also necessary for providing traffic safety. The Traffic Police are responsible for regulation of traffic flow, trafficsafety, parking control, traffic enforcement, accident investigations, accident prevention, etc. Special Traffic Police Stations implement the function of traffic control on motorways and on highways. The police want to obtain better results in decreasing traffic accidents causes and decreasing the heaviness of traffic accidents consequences. The second aim refers to police controlling over using of the safety belts. Speed is one of the main problems on roads and the law enforcement officer has the power to reduce it. This can have two effects. First, there is a preventive effect: passing drivers notice enforcement activities and most of them will slow down when seeing a police patrol. Second, there is a repressive effect for detected offenders; they either receive a warning or a speeding ticket. Police surveillance is therefore an important tool in accident countermeasures. The probability of police detection of most violations is low. But the increasing of police control activities has had a positive influence on road safety circumstances. Total safety on roads is a great illusion, but better safety is a realistic desire and expectation. 275

Ex. 30. Read the text and answer the questions of a policeman in written form. Why I was Late It was raining heavily as I was walking towards the Metro station. There were very few people in the street. The road was slippery. Just as I was crossing the road near the metro station, a car came round the corner. It was travelling very fast, at the speed of 80–90 km. It was clear the driver was having difficulty in controlling it. Suddenly it hit a lamp-post and turned over. At once I ran to the car. No doubt the driver needed help. I tried to help the driver. But I could do very little. The man's eyes were closed; there was a lot of blood on his face. Then I saw a young woman. She hurried into the station. She phoned for an ambulance while I was taking care of the driver. A lot of people gathered round the car.

Ex. 1. Read and translate the following text. What is Law? Law is usually understood as the set of rules by which the citizens of the country regulate their conduct in relation to the citizens and to the state. The English word “law” refers to limits upon various forms of behavior. Every large group of people living together establishes rules to guide the actions of individuals toward one another. These rules of cоnduct are what we call laws. Some laws are descriptive: they simply describe how people or even natural phenomena, usually behave. An example is the law of gravity. Other laws are prescriptive – they prescribe how people ought to behave. For example, the speed limits imposed upon drivers prescribe how fast we should drive. In all societies, relations between people are regulated by prescriptive laws. Some of them are customs - that is, informal rules of social and moral behavior. Some are rules we accept if we belong to particular social institutions, such as religious, educational and cultural groups. And some are precise laws madebynations and enforced against all citizens. The ways in which people talk, eat and drink, work and relax together are usually called customs. Customs need not be made by governments and need not be written down. We learn how to behave in society through the instruction of family and teachers, the advice of friends and our experiences in dealing with strangers. Sometimes, we can break rules without suffering any penalty. Laws that maintain order in society are enforced by state and local governments through police force. The police arrest the lawbreakers, and judges after a fair trial determine the penalty that violators of the law should receive. Members of every community make laws for themselves in self- protection. If it were not for the law, you could not go out in daylight without the fear of being kidnapped, robbed or murdered. In the absence of law you could only rely upon the law of the jungle. Every country tries, therefore, to provide laws, which will help its people to live safely and comfortably. This is not at all easy thing to do. Man is imper290
fect; the world may never be free from crime, violence and tyranny. We need laws to protect ourselves and others. We distinguish private or civil law and public law. Private law involves the various relationships that people have with one another and the rules that determine their legal rights and duties. Civil law concerns disputes among citizens within a country, and publiclaw concerns disputes between citizens and the state, or between one state and another The laws of all countries are in written records – the legal codes of countries, the statutes. The laws are all concerned with making society more stable and enable people to flourish. Ex. 2. Answer the questions. 1. What does the word “law” refer to? 2. What kind of rules do we call laws? 3. How do you understand the expressions “descriptive laws” and? “prescriptive laws”? Can you give your own example? 4. What laws regulate the relations between people? 5. How many groups of prescriptive laws can you single out? 6. What rules are called customs? 7. How do we learn out customs? 8. What is the difference between a custom and a law? 9.

Ex. 8. Read and translate the following text. The Law System The system of law in our country consists of different branches of law. Constitutional Law is a leading category of the whole system of law. Its principal source is the country's Constitution. It deals with social structure, the state system, powers and frame of government, the distribution of political and 294
governmental authorities and functions, the legal status of citizens. Constitutional law concerns the fundamental principles which are to regulate the relations of government and citizens. Constitutional law prescribes the plan and method according to which the public affair of the nation or state to be administered. It governs the relationships between the judiciary, the legislature and the executive with the bodies under its authority. Administrative Law is closely connected with Constitutional law but itdeals with the legal forms of concrete executive and administrative activity of a government and ministries. Administrative law is the body of law that governs the activities of administrative agencies of government. As a body of law, Administrative law deals with the decision-making of administrative units of government (e.g., tribunals, commissions) that are part of a national regulatory scheme in such areas as police law, international trade, the environment, taxation, broadcasting, immigration and transport. Criminal Law defines the general principles of criminal responsibility, types of crimes and punishment applied to criminals. The Criminal law plays a distinctive role in society. It is that law, which for the purpose of preventing harm to society declares what conduct is criminal, and prescribes the punishment to be imposed for such conduct. It includes the definition of specific offenses and general principles of liability. Criminal laws are codified into criminal or penal codes. Criminal law has the following functions: to deter people from doing acts that harm others or society; to set out the conditions under which people whohave performed criminal acts will be punished. International Law regulates relations between governments and also between private citizens of one country and those of another. International law constitutes that body of rules which governs the relationships between sovereign states. The major sources of International law are multilateral treaties. The United Nations has played a major role in defining, codifying and expanding the realm of International law. The International Law Commission, established by the General Assembly in 1947, is the primary institution responsible for developing and codifying International law. Financial Law regulates the budget, taxation, state credits and other spheres of financial activity. Financial law deals with the broad range of savings and investments in which individuals, businesses and institutions hold trillions of dollars, and the services related to those products. The products and services play a vital role in the world economy and directly employ millions of individuals. Civil Law is connected with relations in the economic sphere of life, with the relations involving property, its distribution and exchange. The right of property is central institution of Civil law.The principle of Civil law is to provide all citizens with a written collection of the laws. Judges must follow Civil 295
law and apply them to citizens. It is the oldest legal system in the world. The primary source of Civil law is the law code. Labor law (or Employment law) is the body of laws, administrative rulings, and precedents which address the legal rights and restrictions on working people and their organizations. Labor law mediates many aspects of the relationship between trade unions, employers and employees. The rules ofLabor Law include the legislation on the employment of industrial and office workers and regulate matters arising from employment relations. There are two categories of Labor law. First, collective Labor law relates to the tripartite relationship between employee, employer and union. Second, individual labor law concerns employees’ rights at work through the contract for work. Environmental law is a collective term describing international treaties (conventions), statutes, regulations, and Common law that operates to regulate the interaction of humanity and the natural environment, with the purpose of reducing the impacts of human activity. Environmental law may be divided into two major subjects: pollution control and remediation, and resource conservation, individual exhaustion. Family law sees the family as a special institution. It concerns the legal systems of married couples and their children, the process of divorce; responsibility for children; protection from domestic violence. It is the body of law regulating family relationships, including marriage and divorce, the treatment of children. It is concerned with the rights and duties of husband, wife, parents and children. Family law deals with the rights of succession to the property of a family member when they die. Ex. 9. Read the text above and answer the questions. 1. What does Constitutional law deal with? 2.

Ex. 17.Read and translate the following text. Labour law Labour law is the body of laws, administrative rulings, and precedents which address the legal rights of, and restrictions on, working people and their organizations. As such it mediates many aspects of the relationship between trade unions and employers. Out of all different branches of law, this one deals with the terms and conditions of work, and disputes regarding employment of labour. This is a set of rulings and regulations that govern the relationship and terms between employers and employees. In its most comprehensive sense the term includes social security and disability insurance as well. In addition to the individual contractual relationships growing out of the traditional employment situation, Labour law deals with the statutory requirements and collective relationships that are increasingly important in mass production societies, the legal relationships between organized economic interests and the state, and the various rights and obligations related to some types of social services. The basic subject matter of Labour law can be considered under nine broad heads: employment; individual employment relationships; wages and remuneration; conditions of work; health, safety, and welfare; social security; trade unions and industrial relations; the administration of Labour law; and special provisions for particular occupational or other groups. There are special rules about the employment of children and young people. Your rights at work will depend on: your statutory rights and your contract of employment. Statutory rights are legal rights based on laws passed by Parliament. Nearly all workers, regardless of the number of hours per week they work, have certain legal rights. The contract of employment is the agreement made between the employer and the employee. This could be in the form of a written agreement or what has been agreed verbally between them. In addition, the contract of employment will also include “custom and practice” agreements. These are how things are usually done in the workplace, for example, if the employer always gives the employees a day’s holiday in August. Even though this is not mentioned in the written contract this will form part of the contract of employment as it is usual practice. If the written contract says one thing, but in practice all the employees have been doing something else with the employer’s knowledge and agreement, the “custom and practice” would form the contract rather than the written statement. A trade union may have negotiated an agreement with an employer about conditions at work. The negotiated agreement will often form part of a contract of employment, particularly if the conditions are more favourable than the pre299
vious ones. One of the main functions of trade unions is to protect the rights of workers. All workers, regardless of the number of hours they work per week, are entitled to receive a written statement from their employer, within two months of starting work. The statement describes the main terms of the contract of employment. The statement must give details about: job title, wages and hours of work, sick pay, pension schemes, holiday entitlement, grievance, dismissal and disciplinary procedure and so on. Ex. 18.

Ex. 23.Read and translate the following text. Family Law Family law is a branch of law which deals with “domestic relations”, it is concerned with such subjects as adoption, divorce, separation, paternity, custody, support and child care. The law sees the family as a special institution. Family law considers married and unmarried couples, and their children; custody of and responsibility for children; and protection from violence at home. In some societies the family is thought to be so important that there is very little legal intervention in family life, for example in many Islamic countries. But in many parts of the world, the law now promotes the rights the rights of individuals within the family unit, and regulates family relations through legislation.
301
In general, the welfare of children is the biggest concern of Family law. In most countries legal systems treat children differently from adults. In economically developed countries, there are limits on the type and amount of work a child is allowed to do. There are age limits on the rights and duties of citizens. In Britain as in many countries, there are special courts with very strong powers to control and transfer private property in the interests of children. Special courts deal with young people who commit crimes. The laws in most countries place more emphasis upon marriages legally registered than social arrangements whereby people live together. In Britain, children born outside legitimate marriages have fewer rights to financial support from estranged fathers than legitimate children. In addition, if they are born outside the UK, they are less likely than legitimate children to be granted British citizenship. Their fathers have no automatic right to contact with them. Some welfare payments are calculated on a different basis according to whether recipients are married or not, and more procedures are available to a married woman than an unmarried one in seeking protection from domestic violence In English law, some marriages may be dissolved or nullified. A couple may also seek a divorce. The procedure may be lengthy, especially if one does not want to get divorced or if there are children. Divorce proceedings in England take place in certain County Courts known as divorce county courts. Some matters are also dealt with in the Family Division of the High Court. A divorce will not be issued until satisfactory arrangements have been made for any children of the marriage, including determining who is to have custody of the children. In case of property, the courts have to find balance between two principles. One of that is any division should fairly reflect how much each party contributed to the property they held together. Nowadays, courts look beyond legal ownership and cash contributions. Work done in the home, time spent caring for the family, even emotional support, are all considered as giving some rights to property. Ex. 24. Answer the questions. 1.

Also referred to as European continental law, the Civil law system is derived mainly from the Roman “Corpus Juris Civilus”, (Body of Civil Law), a collection of laws and legal interpretations compiled under the Roman Emperor Justinian I between A.D. 528 and 565. The major feature of Civil law systems is that the laws are organized into systematic written codes. The main sources of Civil law are principally legislation – especially codifications in constitutions or statutes enacted by governments – and secondarily, custom. The Civil law systems in some countries are based on more than one code.

Ex. 31. Read and translate the following text. Criminal law Criminal law – branch of law that defines crimes and fixes punishments for them. Criminal law includes rules and procedures for preventing and investigating crimes and prosecuting criminals, as well as the regulations governing the constitution of courts, the organization of police forces, and the administration of penal institutions. In general, the Criminal law of most modern states classifies crimes as offenses against the safety of the state; offenses against the public welfare; offenses against property; and offenses threatening the lives or safety of persons. In the US Criminal law has a number of unique features. In determining the Criminal law, the federal government and each of the state governments are sovereign within the limits of their authority as defined by the US Constitution. In many particulars the Criminal law varies from state to state. The federal government and a number of states have formulated codes of Criminal law. In the US and Great Britain the most serious crime is treason. Treason – criminal offense involving the attempt, by open acts, to overthrow the government to which the offender owes allegiance, or to betray the state to a foreign power. Treason in English Law 305
Two grades of treason existed in early English law: high treason, which was directed against the Crown, and petty treason, which consisted of a crime against a subject, such as a wife killing her husband, or a servant murdering his master. In early English statutes the most serious offenses were compassing or imagining the death of the sovereign, adhering to the sovereign's enemies and giving them aid and comfort, and levying war against the sovereign. Statutes were changed from time to time between the reign of Edward III and that of Elizabeth I. After the Restoration the Stuart judges used “constructive treason” to discourage resistance to the Crown. They extended the offenses to include words as well as deeds. In 1663, a writer was convicted of treason for writing an article suggesting that the king was accountable to the people. Treason in US History Article III, Section 3, of the U.S. Constitution follows the English law: “Treason against the United States shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.” At the end of the 17th century colonial law followed the English law of treason. During the French and Indian War some colonies considered trading with the enemy treasonous. Massachusetts in 1706 declared “correspondence” with the enemy to be treason. During the 1680s, Virginia attempted to punish the destruction of young tobacco plants, in order to control prices, as treason. In colonial days the penalty for conviction of treason followed the English law, providing for attainder, forfeiture, or loss of property, and the loss of all rights of inheritance. The sentence included the practice of hanging and quartering. Often, however, the colonial governor received a reversal of the judgment from the Crown. During the American Revolution, charges of treason were brought against American supporters of the British government. Congress authorized the death penalty for American soldiers who supported King George III. Several men were hanged for enlisting soldiers in the king's army and for various other violations, such as furnishing supplies to the British. Many convicted traitors were pardoned. In 1790, Congress fixed the penalty for treason as death by hanging. The accused was to enjoy certain procedural rights: a copy of the indictment; a list of jurors and witnesses at least three days before trial; representation by counsel; compulsory process for witnesses on behalf of the accused; and preemptory challenge of 35 members of the jury panel. The first Americans convicted and executed for treason in peacetime were the engineer Julius Rosenberg (1918–1953) and his wife Ethel Rosenberg (1915–1953). The Rosenbergs, both members of the Communist party, were found guilty in 1951 of transmitting atomic military secrets to a Soviet spy, in a 306
controversial trial. After several appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court and a refusal of clemency by President Eisenhower, the Rosenbergs were executed at Sing Sing Prison in Ossining, N.Y. The Rosenberg trial The trial of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg begins in New York Southern District federal court. Judge Irving R. Kaufman presides over the espionage prosecution of the couple accused of selling nuclear secrets to the Russians. David Greenglass was a machinist at Los Alamos, where America developed the atomic bomb. Julius Rosenberg, his brother-in-law, was a member of the American Communist Party and was fired from his government job during the Red Scare. According to Greenglass, Rosenberg asked him to pass highly confidential instructions on making atomic weapons to the Soviet Union. These materials were transferred to the Russians by Harry Gold, an acquaintance of Greenglass. The Soviets exploded their first atomic bomb (and effectively started the Cold War) in September 1949 based on information, including that from Greenglass, they had obtained from spies. The only direct evidence of the Rosenberg's involvement was the confession of Greenglass. The left-wing community believed that the Rosenbergs were prosecuted because of their membership in the Communist Party. Their case became the cause célèbre of leftists throughout the nation. The trial lasted nearly a month, finally ending on April 4 with convictions for all the defendants. The Rosenbergs were sentenced to death row on April 6. Sobell received a thirty-year sentence. Greenglass got fifteen years for his cooperation. Reportedly, the Rosenbergs were offered a deal in which their death sentences would be commuted in return for an admission of their guilt. They refused and were executed. Ex. 32. Answer the questions. 1. What is Criminal law? What does it include? 2. What kinds of offences are criminal? 3.

Ex. 8. Read and translate the text. My Future Profession Two years ago I entered Ufa Law Institute of the Interior Ministry of Russia. The Russian Internal Affairs bodies compose several departments. The Criminal Detection Department is to identify, to locate and apprehend a criminal. The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) collects evidence to prove the guilt or innocence of a suspect. The Economic Crimes Investigation Department reveals the economic offences. The mission of the State Inspection of Road Traffic Safety is to regulate safety on the roads. The Juvenile Inspection is responsible for prevention of juvenile delinquency. Our Institute trains future police officers. We are mastering our future profession at the law enforcement activity faculty and the law enforcement insurance of national security faculty. We can work as operatives of the Criminal Detection Department or the EconomicCrimes Investigation Department. Some of 318
my fellow-students are going to be investigators of the Criminal Investigation Department. We may also work as traffic inspectors at the State Inspection of Road Traffic Safety or juvenile inspectors at the Juvenile Inspection. Thus our future task as law enforcement professionals is to fight against criminality, that is to prevent and solve crimes. Nowadays we are to cope with criminalization of our economy and globalizing crime. Quick and accurate crime solution depends on education, practical skills and detective abilities. That’s why we should study different branches of Law, Criminalistics, Crime Psychology, Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure, etc. We have practice in 1аw enforcement agencies. We should also master special means and methods of crime solution, e.g. to conduct crime investigation, to handle and collect evidence, to interrogate suspects, to interview witnesses and eyewitnesses, to examine a crime scene, to conduct a search, to take pictures of the objects at the crime scene, to use a weapon, to drive a car, to deal with police documentation – criminal records, reports, to use the methods of identification – portrait parle, identikit, line-up, etc. As future law enforcers we should possess the following qualities – intelligence, initiative, energy, persistence, patience and investigative ability. We’ll detect such crimes as murder, manslaughter, robbery, housebreaking, burglary, larceny, traffic accidents, as well as crimes committed by juveniles, embezzlement of state property, bribe-taking, sham bankruptcy, bank fraud and financial pyramids, etc. Our work is difficult and dangerous, but it is necessary and honorable at the same time. We should ensure public’s security, protect life, work and rest of our citizens. After graduating from our Institute we’ll get a diploma of a lawyer and will work in the investigative bodies of Russia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs (of Russia’s Ministry of the Interior). Ex. 9.

Others patrol set areas to prevent crime. 321
Some patrol and give out traffic tickets. Some police direct traffic. Most police wear uniforms. Detectives and special agents work in regular clothes. Most detectives are part of regular police forces. Special agents work for Federal and State agencies. They file reports about what they've done during the day. Most police work on foot or ride in cars. Some, however, ride horses, bikes, or motorcycles. Some work in boats on rivers and in harbors. Some police work with dogs. Most police and detectives work at least 40 hours a week. When they work longer, they get extra pay. Because police work is a 24-hour-a-day job, some police have to work nights and weekends. They have to be ready to go to work at all times. Police may work very long hours on a case. Some have to travel a lot, often on short notice. Some police work outdoors in all kinds of weather. Some take very big risks when they chase criminals in cars or when they make an arrest. The job can be very stressful for the police officer. The officer's family may worry a lot. Good training, teamwork, and good equipment reduce the number of injuries and deaths among police officers. Ex. 20. Give a summary of the text. Characteristics of an Ideal Police Officer Anyone involved in hiring police officers knows the challenges associated with success in these efforts. Below are 8 factors which approve crucial to a police officer’s success. 1. Initiative. Officers must have the zeal to fight crime. Although much police work does not specifically address illegal acts, crime can cause major problems in communities and create social unrest. Law enforcement personnel need to remain aware of chances to discover such issues and act accordingly. Additionally, officers need to remain aware of crime trends and patterns in their patrol and surrounding areas and at least partially direct their activities based on this data. 2. Sense of Ethics. Law enforcement personnel must strive to behave ethically – to do the right thing. They must commit to proper principles and values as guides to their actions and adhere to the Constitution and pertinent statutory laws. The pursuit of ethical behavior never ends. Police administrators, managers, supervisors, and, most important, patrol officers should consider the promotion of ethical behavior a top concern. 3. Respect and Knowledge of Laws. Police applicants must know and adhere to federal and state laws. The Constitution serves as the founding legal document and provides the basic parameters of much of the activity of law enforcement personnel. It is not negotiable. Officers should appreciate this fact and conduct themselves accordingly. Although they may find it challenging, as custodians of the Constitution police officers must respect its boundaries. 322
4. Communication Skills. Recruiters must focus on applicants’ verbal and nonverbal communication abilities. Although writing skills are valuable and warrant examination, officers’ ability to effectively relate face-to-face with community members holds the most importance. Unfortunately, many officers may focus on mastering the tactical aspects and not the communication skills that often save the day. Effective communication skills constitute the primary difference between officers who can resolve most crisis incidents without physical altercation and those who cannot. 5. Common Sense. Common sense is “the ability to think and behave in a reasonable way and to make good decisions” and “sound and prudent judgment based on a simple perception of the situation”. Officers need to make common sense part of all their decisions and avoid the extremes on either end of the continuum. Having and applying common sense can both solve and prevent problems. 6. Civility. Characteristics of civility (represented by action or inaction) include tolerance, kindness, consideration, and understanding. Civility is not a sign of weakness, and, properly exercised, it can enhance officer safety. Civility is not just a nice trait for officers to possess but an absolute necessity. 7. Humility. This is not meekness or weakness, but modesty and respect for others, as well as a lack of arrogance and bravado about oneself. In short, humble people do not brag or show off. They have confidence in their skills and do not feel the need to boast about themselves. Police officers exercise a prominent role in society and wield immense authority and power. The proper degree of humility can help engender respect and trust from the public. 8. Controlled Temper. In the early 1800s the father of modern policing, Sir Robert Peel, identified this character trait as necessary for police officers. Controlled temper involves self-control or self-discipline and requires an abundance of competence, confidence, and emotional maturity. Peel recognized that officers who cannot control their tempers would not be well-suited to properly handle people in the wide variety of circumstances law enforcement personnel confront. When police officers encounter citizens who lose their temper, resolving the contact becomes more difficult. If officers respond by losing their own temper, the circumstances become incendiary and often lead to a less-thandesirable result for both parties. Ex. 21. Match the words with their definitions. 1. zeal a) overly submissive or compliant; spiritless; 2. to strive b) to have and be able to use; 3. altercation c) tending to stir up conflict; 4. civility d) great energy or enthusiasm in pursuit of a cause or an objective. 5. to wield e) make great efforts to achieve or obtain something; 323
6. incendiary 7. meekness
f) formal politeness and courtesy in behaviour or speech; g) a noisy argument or disagreement, especially in public.
Ex. 22. Say if the sentences are T (True) or F (False). 1. A police officer should not have any specific features to become successful. 2. It is not necessary for a police officer to be aware of crime trends in their patrol areas. 3. Police officers must always adhere to the Constitution while performing their job. 4. Communicative skills of policemen play minor role in resolving incidents. 5. Some degree of humility helps gain respect and trust from the public towards police officers. 6. Sir Robert Peel underestimated such trait of character as controlled temper in law-enforcement work. 7. Most police officers today focus on mastering tactical skills as well as communicative skills.

But as to continental codes they get out of date too often.
