.... certain events must be present in the criminal's mind prior to committing the offence. The criminal must be aware that others have been punished in the past for the offence that he or she is planning, and that what happened to another individual who committed this offence, can also happen to me. But individuals who commit any types of crime ranging from auto theft to 1st-Degree Murder, never take into account the consequences of their actions. Deterrence to crime, is rooted in the individuals themselves. Every human has a personal set of conduct. How much they will and will not tolerate. How far they will and will not go. This personal .....

.... the insanity defense. Problems such as the actual possibility of determining mental illness, justifiable placement of judged "mentally ill" offenders, and the overall usefulness of such a defense. In all, I believe that these problems, as well as others which will be mentioned later, lead us to the conclusion that the insanity defense is useless and should be abolished entirely. Insanity is a legal, not a medical definition. Therefore, mental illness and insanity are not synonymous: only some mental illness constitutes insanity. Insanity, however, includes not only mental illness but also mental deficiencies. Due to this, there are problems in ex .....

.... wait is long, and the company can be frightening. Once you have plead your case, you generally end up paying the excessively large fine. This only leads to another line, and another wait.

Usually the traffic school is no where near to the courthouse, which causes you to search to find the it. The great experience of paying is close at hand after locati .....

.... States vary in the procedures on treatment of inmates. The topic to be debated on the basis of its effectiveness is the rights of prisoners concerning conjugal visits.

.... problem. If capital punishment was used as an alternative to life imprisonment more often, the freeing of convicted criminals could be prevented (Rodriguez). Capital punishment is also cheaper than life imprisonment because it is less expensive to execute a prisoner than to keep him in an institution. Every year, valuable tax dollars go towards keeping prisoners in jail however, if the death penalty was used more often, some of this money could go towards other important causes such as gun control and education (Caldwell 598). Moreover, it is important to keep in mind that laws do change as do parole boards and people eventually forget .....

.... end of the 15th century, English law recognized seven major crimes: treason (grand and petty), murder, larceny, burglary, rape, and arson. By 1800, more than 200 capital crimes were recognized, and as a result, 1000 or more persons were sentenced to death each year (although most sentences were commuted by royal pardon). In the American colonies before the Revolution, the death penalty was commonly authorized for a wide variety of crimes. Blacks, whether slave or free, were threatened with death for many crimes that were punished less severely when committed by whites. The Reform Movement Efforts to abolish the death penalty did not gather momen .....

.... at University of Nebraska, Omaha (Reichel 110). Police officers usually accept money from criminals to over look their offense or to ignore it when its happens. With this happening it can cost them their whole job if they do accept the idea of ignoring the law: When police officers see dealers with $300,000 in the back seat of their car and know that if they arrest them the court's going to turn them out anyway, it may seem better form of justice to hit them in the pocketbook and take their money--especially if the policeman has a big mortgage.
