Serial Killers In The U.S
Words: 3988 - Pages: 15.... they survive the episode. It
seems that this one-time outburst of violence, once enacted, puts an end to any
future events of this type for that individual. While the mass killer may kill
many people in one attack, when the attack is over, their mission is complete.
The mass killer's victims may not be chosen for any other reason than being in
the wrong place at the wrong time.
Serial killers are a totally different and more dangerous threat to society.
They may not kill many people at one time, but they may kill for many years
without being detected. They are able to kill again and again without being
caught because they are careful i .....

Attacks On The Insanity Defense
Words: 3680 - Pages: 14.... 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
exactly how to apply a medical theory to a .....

Once ingested, LSD takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes to fully onset

dosage. If taken in large enough amounts, one can die of an overdose of LSD.

A person under the influence of LSD ifs flooded with visual experience, as much
when the eyes are closed as when open. Light is greatly intensified; c .....

Marijuana
Words: 2243 - Pages: 9.... Marijuana helps people with AIDS
retain and eat food.
Marijuana use also has intellectual benefits. Marijuana increases alpha
wave activity in the brain. The alpha waves are associated with creativity.
This creativity is potentially the foundation of literary and musical
revelation. Bob Marley was one of the most influential musical composers of all
times. Marley's music has persevered throughout the years. He openly admitted,
on many occasions, to smoking marijuana before he wrote and composed songs.
Marley's influence is global. His nickname of "the Legend" has distinguished
him from many other musicians. His global fame .....

The Legalization Of Marijuana For All Purposes
Words: 2969 - Pages: 11.... on cracking down on the harder drugs like crack
and heroine.
The government should also legalize marijuana because of its several
medicinal and industrial purposes. Legalizing hemp based products could
create a whole new industry. Fuels can be made by extracting oils from
seeds and the hemp fiber could be used to make ropes, clothing, or paper of
a higher quality because of the strength of the fibers.1
Marijuana is the most widely used illegal drug in Canada. Four million
Canadians have used marijuana, including 1.4 million teenagers.2 The large
number of users can probably be explained by the drugs relatively low cost

or a friend.
DO NOT INVITE THE INVESTIGATOR INTO YOUR HOME!
Such an invitation not only gives him the opportunity to look around for
clues to your lifestyle, friends, reading material, etc., but also tends to
prolong the conversation. The longer the conversation, the more chance there is
for a skill investigator to find out what he wants to know.
Many times a police officer will ask you to accompany him to the police
station to answer a few questions. In that case, simply thank him for the
invitation and indicate that you are not disposed to accept it at thi .....

Legalization Of Marijuana
Words: 1174 - Pages: 5.... Currently, marijuana is considered a “
Schedule One controlled dangerous substance.” That classification makes
it a crime to be in possession of marijuana. In New York State,
possession of under four ounces of marijuana is a violation, and is
punishable by only a ticket, and possible probation. Possession of four
ounces or more can result in jail time.
One argument in favor of legalizing marijuana is its potential use
as medicine. Many of the effects marijuana has on the mind and body are
helpful in fighting several diseases. Marijuana has often been used to
help cancer patients ease the pain of chemotherapy. It is also u .....

Gun Control: Is It A Problem?
Words: 549 - Pages: 2.... evil, and if left to their own devices, they
will become even worse. Therefore, authority is a necessity. This same
principle holds true for gun control. People here in the U.S. have the "right
to bare arms," but with that right comes responsibility. As an American with
that right you're not free to shoot anyone or anything at will. Government
should create laws to protect the rights of others.
I believe stricter gun control laws and better education on the use of
guns is necessary. People of the U.S. aren't as rigidly regulated by gun laws
compared to our European neighbors. In the United States it takes anywhere from
a few days to .....

The Stalking Of Celebrities
Words: 1213 - Pages: 5.... defines stalking as placing a person in fear of his or her
safety, even without intent to carry out the threat.4 Being famous
increasingly means living in fear.5 There is an estimated 200,00 stalkers
in the United States. Seventeen percent of the stalker's victims are
celebrities.6
“Stalking of celebrities is not done by your average autograph
hound.7 The stalking behavior due to delusional disorders affects 3 out of
every 10,000 people and only 1%-2% of all mental patients,” Dietz says. “
But it is increasing as our culture promotes celebrities as the religion of
