... rate in the United States would significantly reduce. The shoot-outs between drug dealers will end. Miller and Benjamin state that the violence provided by "turf wars" and by drug deals gone awry would fall to the level that exists in legal industries - zero (174). The places where most of those shoot-outs occur, the inner city, would change the most after the legalization of marijuana. A lot of the kids 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 ...

... altogether. But is that really in your best interest? Would it really benefit this country, or reduce the number of murders in this country? Consider the evidence in this article and you will see that guns should not be outlawed and that less gun control in necessary to preserve what the founders of this country believed in. Guns are Beneficial Guns can help prevent crime. This is a view held by many opponents to gun control. The criminals themselves agree. As part of a three - year study by the U. S. Department of Justice, criminals in prisons across the nation were interviewed. Sixty percent feared being s ...

... light of today's social and politics environments. Bill Clede ideas in his article seem to be guild by the idea of the Constitution being a living document. At the time the Second Amendment was written, it had a major impact on this country because State and National governments were unable, or lacked the power to protect the people. This Amendment gave the power to the people to bear arms for protection. As Clede points out in his article, it was not the intent or purpose of this Amendment to bestow unlimited rights upon the people. The question to ask today is, are the people responsible enough to have the un ...

... is consistent with that of a central nervous system stimulant. Little is known about the effects of LSD, but what is known shows that it is harmful to the nervous system. Physically, there is an increase in heart rate, an increase in blood pressure, dilation of the pupils, and some facilitation of the spinal reflexes. Once ingested, LSD takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes to fully onset and the effects last anywhere from six hours to four days, depending on the dosage. If taken in large enough amounts, one can die of an overdose of LSD. Psychologically, LSD has a tremendous effect on a person. LSD is an unpred ...

... may be classified in various ways. For example, they sometimes are grouped according to the seriousness of the offense, according to the motives of the offenders. Such may include economic , political , of passion, organized crime, and white collar crime. I had the opportunity to work with the "CAPS" organization (Chicago Alternative Policing Stradegy) of the Chicago Police Department. Citizens complain about young people being out of control, or that someone parked two inches inside thier handycap parking spot. Criminal justice majors are hired by the city of Chicago to explain to the citizens that working tog ...

... against private property. Still measures must be taken to stop criminal activity. A caning for stealing or trying to kill someone would be a reasonable level to introduce corporeal punishment. Men committing such crimes would normally be sent to jail. While not being free is bad, these men really lose nothing but time. The victim 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 c ...

... A high of 97% of the people favor capital punishment, where 1% think that our justice system should not be more lenient on death row inmates. Only 89% think that once convicted of murder, an inmate should be sentenced to death immediately. I would like to take this time to tell you a story. On August 15, 1997, the Reverend John Miller preached a sermon at the Martha Vineyards Tabernacle in New Hampshire. He told his congregation, which included the vacationing President Clinton and his wife, that capital punishment is wrong. "I invite you to look at a picture of Timothy McVeigh and to forgive him," said Mill ...

... and initialized, how the reports reach Detective Clayton, his duties, levels of felonies associated in this crime and other various information. In a case such as a victim making a report of auto theft, the victim can make the report three different ways. First, the victim can call 911 to report a stolen vehicle. When the call is received, the person can request that a patrol officer comes to the scene of where the car was stolen and make a report with the officer. In this case, the officer comes to the location, and gets information such as the victims name, address and general information about him or her, inclu ...

... is needlessly cruel, it should be used in every state, because paroled murders get out of jail too fast and the only punishment equal to murder is the death penalty. Capital punishment is always going to be questioned by the states. The United States doesn't like the death penalty because they say its not a valid purpose of punishment. The states say a punishment that conflicts harm can hardly be good for us. The states don't want to kill a man who is already imprisoned. They say he's already being punished. However the states don't keep all murders in jail forever. Some of these crim ...

... individual and collective defense from violence and aggression, which have been recognized by Congress" ( Caplan P.32). The second amendment should help secure right of the people to have a gun in their home. " The government should not be permitted to declare who would or would not be able to bear arms on the basis of vague religious tests or any other nebulous standard or artifice" ( Caplan p.39). The first infringement on the Second Amendment came on November 30, 1993 when President Clinton signed Brady Bill I. The law required that there be a five day waiting period on all hand gun purchases. The Brady Bi ...
