- 352: Suffering In Crime And Punishm
- Suffering in Crime and Punishment In the novel Crime and Punishment, by Fyodor Dostoevsky, suffering is an integral part of every character's role. However, the message that Dostoevsky wants to present with the main character, Raskolnikov, is not one of the Christian idea of salvation through suffering. Rather, it appears to me, as if the author never lets his main character suffer mentally throughout the novel, in relation to the crime, that is. His only pain seems to be physical sicknes. Raskolnikov commits a premeditated murder in a state of delirium. He ends up committing a second murder, which he never ever wanted to be ...
- 353: Bill Gates

- 356: The Effectiveness Of Local Crime Prevention Funding
- The Effectiveness Of Local Crime Prevention Funding The effectiveness of most crime prevention strategies will remain unknown until the nation invests more in evaluating them. That is the central conclusion of this report. The inadequacy of that investment to date prevents a judgment for or against the effectiveness of the $3 Billion in federal crime funds, at least to a reasonable degree of scientific certainty. Using "rigorous and scientifically recognized standards and methodologies"--the mission Congress set out for this report--the review of over 500 impact evaluations reveals ...

- ... so many questions, which are extremely hard to answer, it is still to early to understand what the repercussions of the Net will be! The Internet is a loose amalgam of metals of thousands of computer networks reaching millions of people all over the world(Carroll 1).

Guilt as well as intellectual reasoning prove to be the main motivating factors behind the crime of Raskolnikov. Throughout the novel his actions are usually a result of his striking intelligence or his tormenting conscience, or in the situation of the murder, both. Raskolnikov s idea to kill the old pawnbroker ... should be considered regardless of the sacrifice of the few. If the intent is noble the method will be justified.
