Topic: Crime against nature


  
 [No title]
The law of nations is naturally founded on this principle, that different nations ought in time of peace to do one another all the good they can, and in time of war as little injury as possible, without prejudicing their real interests.
The natural ignorance of the nobility, their indolence and contempt of civil government, require that there should be a body invested with the power of reviving and executing the laws, which would be otherwise buried in oblivion.
Though all crimes be in their own nature public, yet there is a distinction between crimes really public and those that are private, which are so called because they are more injurious to individuals than to the community.

 Precepts of Eleusis - AchaeanLore
A) Treachery against Nature, or against the Council of Eleusis, is a crime.
This can be considered rather broad, but is to be restrained by common sense to cover applicable situations, such as not informing the village of a pending invasion even if the person is not actively aiding said invasion in any way.
Fines for crimes against the laws of Eleusis may be waived by the Council, or by the Security Minister with approval from the Speaker of Eleusis.

 Crimes Against Nature   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Because the few acts of consensual CAN prosecuted in North Carolina have generally occurred in dark areas or behind a closed door (in an adult bookstore, for example), such cases are often difficult for prosecutors to prove, if the defendant insists on a trial.
However, most CAN (or CAN solicitation) cases never make it to trial: Almost all CAN defendants, even those who insist they are innocent and could never be convicted if the case were to be tried, plead guilty in the early stages of the criminal process for a number of reasons both psychological and historical.
As noted previously, the CAN law does not make it illegal to be homosexual, nor does it apply to the numerous forms of same-sex activity, such as mutual masturbation, to which the law does not extend.

 Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA): Ozone Campaign: A Crime Against Nature
We have already learnt much about the threat to the Protocol from illegal trade during the phase-out in developed countries and it is vital that we apply these lessons as the Protocol moves forward.
A crime against nature is being perpetrated by traders in illegal ODS, while the Parties to the Protocol have several other pressing issues to address.
It is imperative that the Parties to the Montreal Protocol act upon this knowledge and the simple truth that a law can only be as good as its enforcement.

 Xenowave: Literature and the Crime Against Nature: Keith Sagar
The thesis of Sagar's "Literature and the Crime Against Nature" is that literature has a crucial contribution to make in helping us to recognize and reaffirm our relationship with nature, showing us that in a deep and primal way, our emotional well-being depends on our willingness to embrace the earth-bound, natural part of ourselves.
The crime against nature is committed when our instinctual senses and bodily passions, when the procreative female aspects of our nature, are cut off and denied, with the result that our alienated self becomes transformed into a feared and destructive force.
Sagar makes the case that the sundering of man from nature, mind from body, can be traced back 2500 years, when monotheism and a rational attitude to living took hold, leading to the splitting apart of spirit and flesh.

 A Crime against Nature
Ethiopians, who uphold the sanctity of their culture and tradition, had always believed that abortion is a culpable crime against nature.
It is also as broad as daylight that abortions were being conducted in a certain hospital under the pretext of saving the lives of many well-heeled women who can pay it hundreds of birr for doing them the favour of killing human beings in their embryonic stage of development.
If it is really true that Parliament is to legalize the obnoxious practice of abortion in this self-respecting country, then the government is in complicity with those who are determined to commit acts of genocide in the very womb of women who happen to be the mothers of the nation.

 Earth | Moon - Keith Sagar : Literature and the Crime Against Nature
The difference between the imaginative artist and the rest of us is that, hauled into the dock by his own imagination, he must acknowledge his own guilt and submit himself to the correction and, if he is lucky, the healing power, of that imaginative atonement.
As we come to the Natural or left hand side of the stage, in the essays you have showed me so far, everything is clearer, greener, and less populated.
It's amazing how often one can read a loved book with great care and attention and yet only begin to see the obvious when it is pointed out by someone more alert.

Taylor also felt that Smith dared not use accusations of sodomy against Bennett for fear of destroying the reputations of the young men whom Bennett had seduced, as well as not wanting the public to know that their "prophet, seer, and revelator" had put a sodomite in such a high position.
Abraham Hunsaker, the polygamous patriarch of a family of almost fifty children, had recently died and made it clear that his son Lorenzo was to be the fiscal and spiritual head of the family, even though he was not even close to being the oldest of the sons.
While Peter, Weldon, and others clearly used their accusations against Lorenzo to erode his familial power and social influence, it seems clear after carefully reading all the testimonies, that Lorenzo Hunsaker was indeed engaging in sexual relations with his half-brothers and perhaps a neighbor or two.

 À rebours - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is a novel in which very little happens; its narrative concentrates almost entirely on its principal character, and is mostly a catalogue of the tastes and inner life of Des Esseintes, an eccentric, reclusive aesthete and antihero.
In doing so, it broke from naturalism and became the ultimate example of "decadent" literature.

 Proscribing the ‘Infamous Crime Against Nature’
The document, approved in 1791, guaranteed the individual American citizen the right to speak his mind (her mind came much later), associate with whomever he chose, and to exercise whatever religious beliefs he chose.
It also guaranteed the individual white male property owner, if accused of a crime (including any "infamous crime"), the right to due process of law, and the right to confront his accusers.
In short, the Bill of Rights protected against many of the same trespasses that had befallen those accused in other lands and other centuries of being heretics and witches.
