... away. Extinguishing the life of the murderer is equivalent to murderers killing their victim. If it is illegal for murderers kill, how is it possible for government to be justify to end the lives of the murderers. Another concern of executing murderers is the possibility of killing an innocence person. With our improving technology, what we now believe is beyond reasonable doubt might a verdict filled with errors in the future. One very good example of this is the recent acquitting of a man jailed for raped and the murder of a girl. If he was executed at the time, he would of never had the chance to prove his innocence with the D.N.A. tests. He as an innocenc ...

... Bratton are oppose to the plan, and refuse to give up authority to outsiders. Mollen stated that, " what we did find shocking was a total ineptitude of police fighting corruption, they are superb in fighting crime-except among themselves." Corruption is the product of individual police officer and police environment, and its control must mainly should come from the department. Any number of elements or combination of things can influence the behavior of an organization. Within the police department ; the organizational hierarchy , the police culture, and the interaction with the public influence the level of corruption and brutality in the community, and as ...

... with other types of drugs like Heroin, Crystal Methamphetamine, and Cocaine." I recently visited the neighbor city of Tijuana and rode in a Tijuana taxi and was immediately met with a taxi driver named Jose, a Tijuana taxi driver in an open-necked, baby blue silk shirt, he sizes up the tourists trudging off the footbridge from the United States. “Taxi, sir? You want pharmacy? I get you a good pharmacy,” he urges, stepping from a line of beckoning taxi drivers in big belts and straw cowboy hats. “Good prices! No prescriptions!” Do I look like I want drugs?! I didn't even solicit the business. I almost felt weird because this is exactly what I wa ...

... Strikes” law stops repeat violent offenders with the threat of longer sentences after each conviction. In agreement with the need for imposed jail terms, allowing three individual convictions to increase the sentence is a mockery of the judicial system. The “Three Strikes” law represents a faltering attempt at punishing violent criminals. “We have increased the odds of incarceration,” said Dr. Morgan Reynolds, director of the National Center for Policy Analysis’ Criminal Justice Center. “Perpetrators know it is more costly to commit crime, and that acts as a deterrent”(Reynolds). In the State of Florida, the minimum prison term for a repeat rapist is 10 year ...

... The amendment reads: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. (Hofstadter, 1970) This brings us to the question: what is gun control and how far should our government go with these laws? You want to make the nation a safe place to live, but you also need to abide by the Constitution, which is the basis of our nation. As you can probably expect, there are many arguments on the pro side that are sound and quite relevant. Many of them are merely statistics that will help you see why many citizens demand a more staunch form of gun control. The first area ...

... Hampshire, 403 U.S. 443, 91 S.Ct. 2022, 29 L. Ed. 564 (1971). One such exception involves automobile searches for contraband goods by a law enforcement officer. The Supreme Court has created this exception because it is not practical to secure a search warrant when there is probable cause to believe that contraband goods are in an automobile. Such things as automobiles and boats can quickly be moved away before an officer can secure a warrant. New Jersey Courts also recognize that an automobile exception is required because the need of a search warrant is often unforeseeable when an automobile is inherently mobile. Carroll v. United States, 267, U.S. 132, 45 S.Ct. ...

... (introduced in 1977 by Oklahoma), the majority of states provide for death by lethal injection. Supporters of the death penalty believe it is a better deterrent than imprisonment because taking an offender’s life is a more severe punishment. They also argue that no adequate deterrent in life imprisonment is effective for those already serving a life term who commits murder while incarcerated, those who have not yet been caught but who would be liable to a life term if arrested, revolutionaries, terrorists, traitors, and spies. The classic moral arguments in favor of the death penalty have been scriptural and retributive. For example, the statement from the Bi ...

... gloomy day when I got caught for speeding on a city street by a police officer. It was the typical setting to be accused for a driving offense. The clouds were gray, the roads were slick due to a recent rainfall and there was not many cars on the road encouraging me to drive faster. I had just gone through a yellow light at a major intersection and when I looked straight ahead, there was not a car in sight. Due to the fact that the road was “all mine”, I was encouraged to travel twenty-five kilometers over the speed limit. Admittedly, I almost heard my mother telling me to slow down. After my increase in velocity, I noticed I was approaching a downhill. Si ...

... citizens is protected under the 2nd Amendment. It states that “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” The forefathers of our country meant for the people to own and use firearms, and any law or control on that right would be unconstitutional. Gun control activists essentially believe the Second Amendment guarantees only to its militia the right of arms, but the “Gun control proponents have yet to identify even a single quote from one of the founders to support their claim” (Silver 78). The 2nd Amendment supports gun owners, and hard evidence tha ...
