Raising The Minimum Age For A Driving License: Necessary Or Useless?
.... that young ( new)
drivers are much more involved in car crashes is that they are
inexperienced, that fact will not change whether new drivers are 17 years
old or they are 27 years old.
The minimum age for a driving license has been raised and reduced but the
amount of deaths on the road has only increased. Until this epidemic is
stopped this debate will probably exist.

The Caning Punishment Issue
.... should also get the relief of
seeing some damage done for his pains. This would be a little bit of
vengeance for the victim. As a victim this might not set it right but it
would help them feel a little better. This would also make a very big
impression on me. If I knew I could get a very bad lashing for doing
something wrong, I would not do it. With the growing crime rate some
different actions have to be taken. What we are doing now is not working
very well. Corporeal punishment seems like a good p .....

The Death Punishment
.... developed to include a life for a life.
It is argued, the death penalty should be banned to prevent the
execution of innocent individuals unjustly convicted of capital murder.
Statistically this has occurred; however, given the lengthy appeals
process, all but few ultimately die, innocent or guilty. The above
statistic applies to all crimes, from theft to kidnaping. Should no one
be punished because of shortcomings in the judicial system? Obviously,
society could not function within a system .....

The next part of the CDA has everybody in a big legal fit. We, concerned
Internet users, took the writers of this bill to court, and we won.

The Legalization Of Marijuana For All Purposes
.... purposes. Legalizing hemp based products could
create a whole new industry. Fuels can be made by extracting oils from
seeds and the hemp fiber could be used to make ropes, clothing, or paper of
a higher quality because of the strength of the fibers.1
Marijuana is the most widely used illegal drug in Canada. Four million
Canadians have used marijuana, including 1.4 million teenagers.2 The large
number of users can probably be explained by the drugs relatively low cost
and light criminal conseq .....

The Young Offender's Act: The Past, Present, And Future
.... passage about her plans with the Young Offenders Act: "We must
send a signal today to all Canadians that there is going to be a new youth
justice regime in place."
The Juvenile Delinquent's Act was the predecessor of the Young
Offenders Act. It was adopted in 1908 by the federal government. Its
purpose was to change the old system of trying children as adults and
holding them over for as long as the crown wanted to. They then decided to
treat the children as "misguided" ones, instead of criminals. .....

How To Get Of Ticket For Running A Red Light
.... before the light even changed to red.
You should go to the intersection and time the amber signal.
Try to remember where the officer was sitting, and see if he had a
clear view of you approaching him and exactly what he could see. (Which
traffic lights were visible to him, how far down the road he could see
etc.) Make a reasonable measurement of the width of the intersection.
You do not have to prove yourself innocent….the officer must prove
you are guilty. If you can prove tha .....

The Death Penalty: For The Common Good
.... is extortion. There is
a difference between crime and punishment. Are police officers wrong for
speeding to enforce the speeding laws? No. They also say that we should
value all human life. Even the most despicable. It is because we value
human life so much that we put such a terrible consequence for taking it.
One argument states that the death penalty does not deter people
from murdering. To abolish capital punishment on this basis would be way
off base. You would also have to get rid of .....

Prohibition
.... was a slight drop in homicide rates around the
country.
On January 16, 1920, the great law went into effect. The Eighteenth
amendment made it forbidden to manufacture, sell, transport, import or
export any intoxicating liquors. This was controversial because it turned
the common hard working man or woman, who enjoyed a drink after a hard
day's work, into a criminal in the law's eyes. In The History of
Prohibiton, a web site by J. McGrew, it states that Prohibiton also gave
criminals, such as Al Capone, .....

The Problems Of Drinking And Driving
.... people. Although people
attempt to drill the message "don't drink and drive" into young minds
everywhere as early as kindergarten, it doesn't seem to be enough. A child
needs to get this message early and often. This is unfortunately not always
so. Today, only one in every three parents has given their children a clear
"no use" message about alcohol. (www.madd.org) Contrary to popular belief
and hope, the problem is not just going away. Alcohol use still remains the
number one problem among young people. .....

Psilocybin Mushrooms As Hallucinogens

still abusing your body, and your body's functions. Besides all that,
there are also legal consequences.
When someone takes Psilocybin Mushrooms in a medium size dose (1.25
grams - 4.0 grams), there are effects that are a little more serious than
taking psilocybin in a small amount. These effects are things such as
open-eye visual effects, lights gain auras, star-pattern effects,
rainbowing around lighting, increased peripheral vision, sometimes either
increased or decreased ability to focus, an .....

The Social Plague Of Crime And Criminals
.... and controversial there are many different arguments and
opinions feel the most basic way to divide the way society feels about
conjugal visits is in three subsets which stem from legal theories. The
first is the justice view. The second is the rehabilitative view. The final
is a combination of the first two views called the integrated view. All of
these perspectives contain very different thoughts about conjugal visits to
prisoners. Before I discuss each one, there are certain statistics about
forced sex .....

A Civil Action Position Paper
.... in 1979, two wells supplying drinking water to Woburn were
shut down because health officials from the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) thought they might have been contaminated by industrial wastes. The
two main defendants were the W.R. Grace corporation, a chemical and
manufacturing giant that built stainless steel equipment at a plant in
Woburn, and Beatrice Foods, another mega-corporation, which operated a
tannery there. Toxic chemicals from these operations, many thought, had
leaked in and contam .....

bar he deserves what he gets,” but then our little buddy goes out and
snatches a purse from some poor old lady. Well that's the big 3!
Under this new law, this crime would be tried as a misdemeanor but
would have s felonious sentence. Our buddy gets sent to 7 years at the
state penitentiary. While lodging at one of our nations finest resorts, our
sticky handed friend meets Bruno. After a painful greet and hello the two

Analysis Of Police Corruption
.... it
has been the larger center of attention recently. I have decided to
include the fairly recent accounts of corruption from a few major cities,
mainly New York, because that is where I have lived for the past 22 years.
I compiled my information from numerous articles written in the New York
Times over the last 5 years. My definitional infornmation and background
data came from various books cited that have been written on the issue of
police corruption. Those books helped me create a basis of just wha .....
