In today 's society, weapon brutality is a sparking debate and controversy on how to control gun violence. Anyone who thinks that we have enough gun control laws is either the NRA, or severely misguided individuals. All across the nation, a large number of laws and directions have been made to help in the control of firearms. Through much research, the gun laws and regulations have very little effect on the number of firearm-related deaths and injuries. More needs to be done to establish an effective way to create stricter gun laws to help reduce violence.

It can be assumed that no individual will do well in every subject or area in life. Writing is a skill that many fail to possess. It is not only a form of entertainment but also the art of persuasion. In the 2015 issue of Psychology Today, Carrie Barron’s article, “Mental Illness Does Not Equal Dangerous, Mostly” explains what factors can influence crime and argues that the mentally ill are relatively benevolent.

Both arguments are well supported, educated and offer very important and valid explanations as to why their side is correct. The United States legislation on the issue differs in every state. “The New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy:

In a recent survey by Professor Michael Radelet and Traci Lacock (of the University of Colorado) several criminologists from the American society of criminology (ASC) were sat down and questioned on which side of the spectrum they stood on when it came to capital punishment, 88% of the criminologists did not believe that the death penalty was an effective form of punishment as it did not deteriorate crime rates. If people who have dedicated their entire lives on studying criminals and crime rates belive the death penalty to be useless and that it should be abolished, then who are we to say it should

Literature Review *Needs Serious Help The literature used for this subject is closely related to one another with key differences between each different articles approach. They all address the concept of police corruption and deviance in general but take different stances on the cause of it and how it’s fundamentally made within a flawed system. The articles to follow suit all provide insight to previous methods of addressing the matter.

The capital punishment is identified as the most radical means of punishment that is aimed at decreasing the number of the murders and other severe crimes that can happen on the streets. However, it is still not proven that the death penalty is effective in terms of reducing the crime rates. As the opponents of the capital punishment claim, “essential objectives the death penalty is meant to serve—crime control, deterrence and retribution—can be achieved without it, and are often not achieved with it” (Šimonović 183). First of all, the death penalty does not perform its main function as a means of punishment directed at the correction of the criminals. Furthermore, through the capital punishment, it is possible to take only one criminal off the streets while others will

One weakness is Harbeck does not give each proposed topic equal support in the article. For example, robbery did not have much detail as the other violent crimes. Harbeck also illustrates a book suggestion in the middle of the article that could have been placed at the end. Any American that is interested in learning more about violent crimes benefits from this article. Karen Harbeck presents the article in an unbiased way.

He said the action "violated the separation of powers" and "sets a dangerous precedent by allowing a grand jury to punish the exercise of a lawful and constitutional authority afforded to the Texas governor.

The grand jury in Travis County indicted the governor on charges of abuse of his official capacity and coercion of a public servant.

“...Much of the recent crime increase threatens the vitality of America’s cities–and thousands of lives–it is not, in itself, the greatest danger in today’s war on cops. The greatest danger lies, rather, in the delegitimation of law and order itself’ (Mac Donald). In the book “The War on Cops: How the New Attack on Law and Order Makes Everyone Less Safe,” published in the year of 2016, author Heather Mac Donald provides credible evidence to expand on her viewpoint of our country’s current criminal crisis. In addition to “The War on Cops, Mac Donald has written two other books. Her works “Are Cops Racist?”

The NPD proved to be eminently suited for that study, on account of several factors, including: first, it had adopted Compstat since the year 1997 (Yüksel, 2015, p. 112). Second, it was not averse to the conduct of interviews. Third, the NPD was large in size, had a substantial amount of crime, was quite similar to the New York Police Department (NYPD), and it had experienced significant reduction in crime rates, subsequent to the implementation of Compstat (Yüksel, 2015, p.
