She did kill her husband so she has to be punished. That makes sense. At the same time, I think she could have a mitigating factor because she had battered women syndrome. What she had done was wrong, but, as she says, I can see that she could not deal with her husband anymore. It is difficult for me to decide whether she goes to a mental facility or prison.

Lots of people also blame them for not helping them save Kitty’s life. Although these sources show that Kitty Genovese was fatally murdered, one source blames the murder of Kitty Genovese while the others do not.

This proves that the bystanders should be blamed.

During the re-interview process, Ella claimed that the reason she lied at the first interview was due to the fact that she was having an affair with one of her clients and did not want this to be found out. However, the client that she reported having an affair with denied everything. Beyond that, on the victim’s computer, police did find numerous threatening emails that were sent from Ella. As a result, Ella was arrested and interrogated. At the end of the interrogation, she confessed to murdering the victim.

Even the prosecuting attorney for his case stated, “I don’t doubt for a second, never have doubted, that had he not been caught, Eric Smith would have killed again,” (When Children Kill By: Diane Kratz Feb 11, 2013 Aside) According to Phil Chalmers, a teen violence and youth culture expert, there are usually specific reasons why teens kill. They include being bullied at school, depression, lack of guidance or discipline and even mental illness are just to name a few. (Inside The Mind Of a Teen Killer; 2009 Nelson, Phil Chalmers).

The article “On Punishment and Teen Killers” written by Jennifer Jenkins is an article with very weak ethos. The author argues that teens who commit heinous crimes should receive life without the possibility of parole and that the victims rights should be considered. The author is a victim of a crime committed by a teen, her pregnant sister was brutally murdered by a teen gunman who wanted to “see what it felt like to shoot someone” (2). By bringing her sister into the paper the author lowers her credibility because she is emotionally connected to the case and has an obvious biased opinion. This leads to the readers to question her reliability on an unbiased opinion in the article.

We have once again witnessed the murders of young black children at the hands of white supremacy with not an ounce of justice for them or their families. None of these children did anything to deserve to die or become victims of such senseless murders. The saddest part apart the stories of Emmett Till and the four young ladies is that their bodies were all disfigured tot eh point the families had to use different identifies to figure out their bodies.

Changing criminal behavior, not pausing it while incarcerated is what is needed to keep the public safe, making offenders aware of the destruction they have caused to society, and making them accountable via treatment programs and discipline.

Many halfway houses are located far away from an offender’s residence, therefore even if employment is secured during treatment when released they return home to no job, or support, and are put back in the same situation. Community support is imperative in the effectiveness of halfway houses, sadly, many communities refuse halfway houses in their communities, lack of education and fear have been a huge

It would also be helpful to gather more data about the domestic intimate partner homicides to learn if there were prior reported domestic violence incidents between the perpetrator and victim. If so, there may be more opportunity to educate and train officers who respond to domestic violence situations so that future incidents can be curtailed.
