- 1202: Capital Punishment: Injustice of Society
- ... is substantially lower than 50 years ago. This decline creates a situation in which the death penalty ceases to be a deterrent when the populace begins to think that one can get away with a crime and go unpunished.

- ... could be seen as well as heard (Orwell,pg6).’Any action against the government would be seen or heard by the telescreen. The Party even controlled the thoughts and ideas of the people. A thought crime is any thought or idea about going against Big Brother or The Party. To the government a thought crime is considered one of the worst felonies. “Thoughtcrime dos not entail death: thoughtcrime IS death (Orwell,pg27).”To prevent thoughtcrimes people must use the concept made up by The Party. This concept is called doublethink ... conceptions of one thought. Each conception completely contradicts each other. If the Party says that 2+2=5 but one knows that 2+2=4 the concept of doublethink must be used. The words thought crime and double think are words of Newspeak.

- 1204: In Cold Blood: A Review
- ... these murders that is troubling, but the aspect of how Capote tells the story that makes reading it uneasy. Unlike many other murder stories, Capote not only discusses the criminals and their role in the crime, but their childhoods, their lives right before the crime, and their lives after the conviction until the executions. This may be because he was able to establish such rapport with these two men through countless hours of interviews over many years. The reader of ... Perry and affected the rest of his life. Capote brings up a letter written to the Kansas State Penitentiary about Perry, by Perry's father, who was trying to have Perry paroled for a previous crime he had committed.

- 1206: The Economics of Drugs and Prostitution
- ... users are addicted to these substances and will not let a simple increase in price deny them their "fix". Instead, these individuals will find other means to finance their drug habit. This means that the crime rate will increase as these people resort to theft and robbery in order to generate the funds necessary to purchase drugs at the newly elevated prices. Therefore, a decrease in the supply of illegal drugs in society will lead to an increase in the rate of crime in society. A more sensible solution to the drug problem would be to step up anti-drug information campaigns and to educate the public about the negative consequences of drug use. This would affect the ... and equilibrium quantity would be decreased. Just like the law enforcement approach, the education approach manages to reduce the amount of illegal drugs circulating in society. Yet it does so without causing the rate of crime to increase, and therefore does not have a negative affect on society at large. Another problem that is prevalent in our society is prostitution.
