.... punishment has been a form of “disciplining� since 1750 B.C., when it was part of the code of Hammarabi. The bible itself, also prescribes death as a penalty for any of thirty crimes committed. The crimes ranged from any between murder and fornication. In the 18th century more than two hundred capital crimes were recognized, and as a result over one thousand people a year were faced with the sentence of death. Now at modern time, the death penalty, has been rekindled. Although, it is not as barbaric as it was. Now the law only allows itself the use certain types of “disciplining�. In the early 18th and 19th century the death pena .....

.... of rape from our society, we must first examine its causes more deeply so that we can take collective action. We must understand the sociology of rape in order to effectively work towards the elimination of it. Despite the necessity for rape prevention, it must focus on eliminating the conditions in society which make women easy targets for rape. Victim control teaches women to avoid rape, but doesn't reduce the threat of rape. Furthermore, rape cannot always be avoided, no matter what precautions the woman takes. It also puts part of the responsibility and blame for rape on the victim. Rapist control confuses prosecutions with pr .....

.... protected debate, the Congress enacted into law what it hoped would be the ultimate solution to the organized crime problem. The act, which is commonly known as RICO, (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) was passed as part of the Organized Crime Control Act. The purpose of the act was to curb the apparently increasing entry of organized crime into the legitimate business world. (Miller and Jentz 1998). G.R. Blakley (1980) who helped draft RICO, takes the position that while broad usage may or may not have been Congress’ intent (he believes it was), certainly it was his. RICO was not created to apply “only to organized .....

.... to function. While it may seem that a person who exchanges his testimony for a lighter sentence would have sufficient motivation to lie in court the fact is that his testimony is simply verifying the testimonies of other witnesses. In a majority of cases plea bargains is utilized to ensure that the truly guilty criminal is punished. In our less than perfect world, plea bargaining is easily the lesser of the evils. I agree with the definitions submitted by the affirmative speaker. Americans have always emphasized getting a job done. We place a great deal of value on efficiency and industry. The government is expected to run with .....

.... kill people, because there will be no real penalty for it. Which brings me to next point, if a potential murderer knows that if he is found guilty of murder, he himself will be killed, then he is less likely to commit the crime. The saying, “eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth� comes into play here. For example, New York State has a “zero tolerance� policy for murderers. Since this policy went into effect, the murder rate has been cut in half. This is because the killer knows he himself will be killed if he committs the crime. Also, no one has been put to death in New York State since 1976. This proves that the death penalty .....

.... memoranda on issues of special interest, provides bill status information, and assists in obtaining copies of bills, congressional reports and other government publications. The GAO serves as the focal point for association efforts to inform federal policymakers about the ABA's views on issues and to influence the outcome of federal policy decisions on these issues. This involves testimony, circulation of position papers and meetings with members of Congress and their staffs. The GAO also maintains an active grassroots lobbying effort and distributes periodic "alerts" to ABA entities and state and local bar groups advising them of legislati .....

.... ‘save' her, or to save himself. While I have never experienced living with someone who is severely disabled, I have had the chance to discuss the issue with many friends and associates. From what I have learned, it is, indeed, an extremely tough matter to deal with. While no-one I have spoken to has been suicidal over the matter, they have seen the true pain and misery that some severely disabled individuals are forced to deal with every day of their lives. Still, many agree with myself on the point that a human life is just that, a human life; and that everyone alive has the right to live, no matter whether or not it is under tougher cir .....

The main purpose of this collection of information is to see just what marijuana does to the body and to determine whether the effects are good, bad, or .....

.... 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 set of conduct can be made or be broke .....

.... illnesses. This act was designed to prevent non-medical use, and this made it so hard to obtain for medicinal purposes it was removed from the pharmacopeia. In 1988 the DEA's own administrative law judge, Francis L. Young, said that marijuana in its natural form fulfilled the legal of currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States. He added that it was "one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man." This request was overruled not by medical authority, but by the DEA itself. This shows the little amount of government knowledge on the subject matter. Presently, the main chemical in marijuana which is .....
