Code of Iran stipulates: "In the punishment of stoning to death, the stones
should not be so large that the person dies on being hit by one or two of
them."1 This is the kind of cruelty which is inflicted on the executed in

Words: 2368 - Pages: 9.... may not be surprising
that the general public is starting to believe its children are getting meaner
and more violent. The media, politicians and the American public want something
done, and they want it done now. Right now we are beginning to relize that if
the situation looks bleak now, it could deteriorate even more in the future.
The U.S. Census projects that the juvenile population, reported to be 27.1
million in 1994, will rise to 33.8 million by the year 2004 (67).

person. It is not fair to the child to limit the way he or she can play
just because a sex offender is free.
I feel that the police department has an obligation to make sure
everybody that wants to know about the half way house does. It shouldn't
matter who lives in the house. They just got out of prison, so they must
have committed some sort of bad crime. Nowadays it is hard to actually go

the Mrs. Kanka had warned her children about that place this might not have
ever happened. Also why give a person who .....

Our Court System Is Inefficient
Words: 849 - Pages: 4.... cases are longer and much more time is spent on each individual part of the case, from presenting the evidence to cross- examination of the witness, this is because of the amount of information involved.
The general atmosphere and behaviour in the Provincial Courtrooms were general loose and calm. The people, lawyers, judge, clerk and recorder seem to know each other very well. They joked openly, even while the court was in session, the defence lawyer asked if he could persuade the judge into a lighter sentence after the judge had already made a decision in a very easy and friendly tone of voice, something seemly unprofessional that ca .....

Cellular Phreaking

alleged "home BOC", they will discover you are not a real customer; but by then,
you can create an entirely new electronic identity, and use that instead.

mobile phone enters a cell's area of transmission, it transmits its phone number
and its 8 digit ID number to that cell, who will keep track of it until it gets
