¶ … Court Was Correct: Silva Deserves to Teach
Exordium:
OJ Simpson was one thing; this time, the courts got it right. Professor Silva used questionable teaching methods, yes, but the federal court's decision was correct: Any possible improprieties did not amount to sexual harassment, and indeed fell into the category of protected speech under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.

Narratio:
J. Donald Silva was a tenured Communications professor at the University of New Hampshire's Thompson School of Applied Science.

" (Social Services Policy Center - Britain, 2005) Further stated is that "Most offenders in the UK are dealt with by non-custodial sentences. Custodial sentences for indictable offences by adults account for less than one sentence in five, while fines cover more than a third of all offences. About a fifth are given intermediate sentences like probation or community service. The Probation Service (in England and Wales) administers supervision in the
