Capital Punishment: Deters Murder, And Is Just Retribution
.... the death penalty feel that offenders should be punished
for their crimes, and that it does not matter whether it will deter the
crime rate. Supporters of the death penalty are in favour of making
examples out of offenders, and that the threat of death will be enough to
deter the crime rate, but the crime rate is irrelevant.
According to Isaac Ehrlich's study, published on April 16, 1976, eight
murders are deterred for each execution that is carried out in the U.S.A.
He goes on to say, "If one executio .....

The Death Penalty
.... mmisdemeanors.
One of the most vicious methods of execution ever invented was geared
not only to inflict pain but to provide a gruesome spectacle for the public. It
was the English punishment for treason. It is called hanging, drawing and
countering. First you would be dragged to the place of execution on a hurdle.
This is a type of sled that was attached to the back of a horse. You would be
hanged to the brink of death before being cut down. The third stage of the
execution is that the persons gent .....

Drinking And Driving Offences

conviction for "Refusing" will count as a second conviction, not a first,
and will receive the stiffer penalty for second offences.
For the first offence here is the penalty and the defences you can
make. Driving a vehicle while your ability to drive is impaired by alcohol
or drugs is one of the offences. Evidence of your condition can be used to
convict you. This can include evidence of your general conduct, speech,
ability to walk a straight line or pick up objects. The pe .....

Drinking Age

Teens that drive are in big trouble and are at big risk. I'm not
blaming the accidents that involve drunk in just teens. Drunk drivers are
of all ages. And I'm not trying to say that all teens drink either. But
the ones that do and are stupid enough to say they're sober and can drive
home safe. Those are the ones that put innocent citizens at risk. The
drunk teens that drive are looking at getting their license provoked.

Quick Look At Gun Control
.... that,
the more guns with which our society equips itself, the greater the
likelihood for accidents or violent acts involving fire arms to occur.
It is a proven fact that handguns have been the murder weapon of
choice. Guns are involved in half of all homicide cases. People
believe that society has relied on weapons that create harm and
criminals. Therefore, these weapons should be outlawed.
However, law abiding citizens have t .....

Failure Of Gun Control Laws

of the United States makes firearm ownership legal in this country.
There were good reasons for this freedom, reasons which persist today.
Firearms in the new world were used initially for hunting, and
occasionally for self-defense. However, when the colonists felt that
the burden of British oppression was too much for them to bear, they
picked up their personal firearms and .....

Black community and the recipient of the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize,
King's accomplishment of attaining civil rights for Blacks was a
great one, but the road to achievement was long and full of
sacrifices. It was a time when Blacks had no rights and most of
them accepted this as the way it was and no one could do anything
about it. Most of them, but not King. When the police arrested a black
woman for sitting in the front of the .....

Issue Of Gun Control And Violence
.... average law-abiding citizen helpless in
defending themselves against the perils of urban life. Is it our right to
bear arms as North Americans? Or is it privilege? And what are the
benefits of having strict gun control laws? Through the analysis of the
writings and reports of academics and experts of gun control and urban
violence, it will be possible to examine the issues and theories of the
social impact of this issue.

Research has found that 53% of these children are more likely to be
arrested, and 38% more likely to commit a violent crime as an adult,

child abuse are “high levels of aggression and antisocial behavior”
and these children are twice as likely to become juvenile offenders.
Also improper parental care has been l .....

They are what Professor DiIulio and others call urban "super predators";

who commit murder, rape, robbery, kidnapping, and other violent acts.
These emotionally damaged young people, often are the products of sexual or
physical abuse. They live in an aimless and violent present; have no sense
of the past and no hope for the future; they commit unspeakably brutal
crimes agains .....

Should Drugs Be Legalized?
.... numbers

drugs. Although people feel that legalizing drugs would lessen crime,
drugs should remain illegal in the U.S because there would be an

Many believe that legalizing drugs would lessen crime. They
point out that the legalization of drugs would deter future criminal
acts. They also emphasize and contra .....

Legalization Of Drugs

like alcohol or cigarettes and the consequences will be diminished.
Illicit drugs can and will be made safer than they are in the present
system. In making comparisons, the best is to look at how countries are
functioning that have less enforcement on drugs and what the statistics

Legalization Of Drugs

there idolize drug dealers. They see a person with designer clothes, a
black Mercedes, gold chains, and big smile on their face. That drug dealer
seems like the most successful person in the neighborhood. It's very easy
to want to follow in the footsteps of someone like this. Legalization
would greatly reduce the profits of drug dealers. Kids would emulate the

protected. The group also acknowledged that the legalization concept
