Charles William Cocks Case Study

Submitted By

Pages 7
In April that year, Charles William Cocks, a 23-year-old man of fine physique, reasonable education and glowing references joined the Police Force. However, the big city life in Brisbane offered temptations perhaps hitherto unexplored by a lad from Muckadilla and Cocks succumbed - drinking and whore-mongering; swearing at superior officers. Even staying erect proved a challenge for Cocks, admonished on the parade ground because he could not stand upright and once needing three attempts to put his helmet on straight.

Throughout his short police career, he accumulated an impressive volume of charges, cautions and reprimands for slovenliness, dereliction of duty, indecent language, drinking on duty and insubordination. "Kiss my arse," he told …show more content…
Cocks again rebuffed him.

Unknown to Durham, when Cocks left his office earlier, he went directly to Sergeant Murphy's office. The Sergeant noticed Cocks was pale and trembling, and instead of his regular black uniform he wore khaki pants and an unbuttoned Sub-Inspector's tunic, unbuttoned because it had no buttons. After Cocks related his encounter with the Sub-Inspector, Murphy instructed him to commit to paper an exact and faithful account of the assault.

Omitting nothing, Cocks wrote a report. Who would blame the man if, for fear of ridicule, he excluded the comment on his small endowment, or failed to detail the blowjob? Nonetheless, whatever his faults, Charlie Cocks, the junior constable who once enjoined a sergeant to "Kiss my arse", told it like it was. He overlooked no detail. Clearly the assault left Cocks dumbfounded, unable to comprehend why Durham chose him. He wrote, "I have given him no encouragement to lead him to do such a thing as I have only been here two days. I thought he was a very strange man being so familiar with me." Murphy forwarded the statement to Brisbane Police

Jaquar in Bangladesh

...EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The next step after learning a theoretical concept is its implementation in practical grounds. So, to implement the theoretical concept of licensing we have chosen to market Jaquar bath accessories, a world famous Indian brand in the Bangladesh market. In the process of writing this project we have tried to implement all the aspects of licensing with the light of our limited knowledge. In the recent past most of the people in Bangladesh were not very cautious about the looks and design of the bathrooms; but now a days there is a new trend in our country to build own home or to renovate flat with high quality fittings. So there is grate demand of house fittings in our country. Also now a days people are very much concern about there own bath room and want to decorate there bathroom with high quality fittings with exceptional design with affordable price. So this is a new business trends in our country to import high quality bathroom fittings. But this is much more expensive and also there is no renowned importer of this product.

But it is much more…People are presented as [Fadiman] saw them, in their humility and their frailty—and their nobility.” —Sherwin B. Nuland, The New Republic 3/462 “Anne Fadiman’s phenomenal first book, The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, brings to life the enduring power of parental love in an impoverished refugee family struggling to protect their seriously ill infant daughter and ancient spiritual traditions from the tyranny of welfare bureaucrats and intolerant medical technocrats.” —Al Santoli, The Washington Times “A unique anthropological study of American society.” —Louise Steinman, Los Angeles Times “Some writers…have done exceedingly well at taking in one or another human scene, then conveying it to others—James Agee, for instance…and George Orwell…It is in such company that Anne Fadiman’s writing belongs.” —Robert Coles, Commonweal...

Bloodlines of the Illuminati

...Bloodlines of Illuminati by: Fritz Springmeier, 1995 Introduction: I am pleased & honored to present this book to those in the world who love the truth. This is a book for lovers of the Truth. This is a book for those who are already familiar with my past writings. An Illuminati Grand Master once said that the world is a stage and we are all actors. Of course this was not an original thought, but it certainly is a way of describing the Illuminati view of how the world works. The people of the world are an audience to which the Illuminati entertain with propaganda. Just one of the thousands of recent examples of this type of acting done for the public was President Bill Clinton’s 1995 State of the Union address. The speech was designed to push all of the warm fuzzy buttons of his listening audience that he could. All the green lights for acceptance were systematically pushed by the President’s speech with the help of a controlled congressional audience. The truth on the other hand doesn’t always tickle the ear and warm the ego of its listeners. The light of truth in this book will be too bright for some people who will want to return to the safe comfort of their darkness. I am not a conspiracy theorist. I deal with real facts, not theory. Some of the people I write about, I have met. Some of the people I expose are alive and very dangerous. The darkness has never liked the light. Yet, many of the secrets of the Illuminati are locked up tightly simply because secrecy is a way...

Defeating the Enemies Will

...Defeating the Enemy’s Will: The Psychological Foundations of Maneuver Warfare DAVID A. GROSSMAN The will to fight is at the nub of all defeat mechanisms … One should always look for a way to break the enemy’s will and capacity to resist. Brig. Gen. Huba Wass de Czege Defeating the enemy’s will. That is the essence of maneuver warfare, that you defeat the enemy’s will to fight rather than his ability to fight. But how do you defeat a man’s mind? We can measure and precisely quantify the mechanics of defeating the enemy’s ability to fight, and it is this tangible, mathematical quality that makes attacking the enemy’s physical ability to fight so much more attractive than attacking the enemy’s psychological will to fight. At some level none of us can truly be comfortable when we dwell on the fact that our destiny as soldiers and military leaders ultimately depends on something as nebulous and unquantifiable as an enemy’s “will,” and we are tempted to ignore such aspects of warfare. But somewhere in the back of our minds, a still, small voice reminds us that ultimately the paths of victory run not through machinery and material, but through the hearts and minds of human beings. So what is the foundation of the will to fight and kill in combat and what are the vulnerable points in this foundation? In short: what are the psychological underpinnings of maneuver warfare? To answer these questions, students of maneuver warfare must truly understand, as we have never understood before...
