Political Science

Tennessee statutes contain regulations or laws that deal with crimes of different categories. The statutes were lastly modified in 1989 to deal with increasing criminal activities such as administrational offences, property theft, family problems, security, and crime against humanity in general. In discussing or analyzing the Tennessee regulations and statutes concerning the crime on violence in line with criminal liability, it is important to look into the levels of criminal cases in relation to punishments or charges attached to each crime (Fisher, 1997)..

Violence
Violence can be defined as any form of destruction on property, assets or human being. Basing the argument on the meaning of violence in relation to the act itself, one can easily derive facts that violence involves even the use of weapons and dirty tricks that may cause harm or damage. In regard to Tennessee laws on violence, the act of violence does not only involve causing harm to someone but even inflicting fear on someone (Fisher, 1997).

Categories of Violence in line with the Tennessee statutes
Violence can be categorized in different categories or levels before one is charged on the crime committed. Taking away someones car can be a form of violence in that, the act can never be peaceful and is always accompanied with beatings or intimidation if not forceful. Carjacking being one of the examples of violent acts in Tennessee statutes. Some forms of violence are considered more serious and can even lead to life imprisonment if charged in court, such as sexual harassment, fighting over sex or rape are forms of violence that are considered serious, it can be either forceful penetration both to normal people or to abnormal person or using dangerous weapons to inflict fear or to speed up the act. (Fisher,1997).
 
Charges on sexual harassment according to Tennessee regulations vary with age and raping a young person according to the states can lead to death penalty. Sexual offenses can be widely categorized, when a person tries to show or expose himselfherself in a public domain assuming that heshe is not mentally disturbed then heshe can be charged with committing a crime called public indecency which is a form of violence. Showing private parts in public or genitals is considered a crime and this mostly affects the prostitutes who always walk half necked along the streets to attract a man which leads to sexual act hence violating someones principles on sex. (Fisher, 1997).

Property crime
Property is any form of asset or belonging(s) a person can possess. Committing a crime on someones property means possessing the property forcefully or taking away without making any formal request can lead to arrest. Tennessee statutes clearly explains the concept by using the term theft to define the act, stealing is a crime allover the world and it can include many acts such as deceiving a person or in personification to obtain services on behalf of a person, diversion of benefits or services, fraud or possession of a stolen item from un identified source are types of theft. However, charges according to Tennessee statutes vary depending on the value of a product, type of fraud or extortion. Proper evidence or confirmation of the act can therefore lead to serious charges depending on the defendant arguments (Fisher, 1997).

Criminal liability
Criminal liability is any act in a society that can cause danger, fear or harm to the people leaving within a given area. It can be done knowingly or out of negligence or ignorance. In most cases criminal liabilities are not prosecuted by individuals but the government through courts. Criminal liability is not just concerned with offences to the general public but also even to the government. Even though the government have the mandate to lay charges on the offenders, it is important to ensure that due process is followed and certain formalities meets the legal formalities in line with the charges, for instance when a crime has been committed by a young person or someone below 18 years of age, heshe can not be charged the same way a person at the age of 30 or 40 is chargedjudged (Fletcher, 2000).

In the criminal charges provisions in the Tennessee statutes someone of lesser age who does not possess any knowledge or who do not understand the legal implication due to age limit can not be charged unfairly. However, this depends on how reckless or intentional the crime is committed. Finally on legal liability, the government must be keen enough to know when the criminal law is broken in order to ascertain the charges (Fletcher, 2000).

Conclusion
It is therefore important to acknowledge that laws are necessary in any place occupied by people to ensure security or criminal acts such as rape, theft or robbery or violent acts that may lead to harm are stopped. Laws are therefore important in governance and  proper management of assets since the offenders can be charged according to the offence committed and this enhance rationality in judgments .Finally, criminal liability can be intentional, irrational or done out of ignorance and the government must ensure that the there is proper legal provisions to ensure that the laws are not broken.
