Euthanasia And The Robert Latimer Case
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 1021.... 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 circumstances than another person. Nobody has the right to take the life
of another person, and .....

Number of pages: 10 | Number of words: 2736.... but for their
enactment of a little known section of the Penal Code entitled the "Community
Based Punishment Act of 1994." (Senator Quentin Kopp, Time Magazine Feb 14,
1996) C. By passage of this act, the State of California has acknowledged the
limitations of incarceration as both punishment and a deterrent to criminal
behavior. D. The legislature has in fact declared that "California's criminal
justice system is seriously out of balance in its heavy dependence upon prison
facilities and jails for punishment and its lack of appropriate punishment for
nonviolent offenders and .....

Capital Punishment: Does The End Justify The Means?
Number of pages: 6 | Number of words: 1487.... moral?
Capital punishment is often defended on the grounds by the government,
that society has a moral obligation to protect the safety and the welfare of its
citizens. Murderers threaten this safety and welfare. Only by putting murderers
to death can society ensure that convicted killers do not kill again.
Second, those favoring capital punishment contend that society should
support those practices that will bring about the greatest balance of good over
evil, and capital punishment is one such practice. Capital punishment benefits
society because it may deter violent cr .....

R.I.C.O
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1807.... 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 crime in the classic ‘mobster’ sense”. In it’s deliberations Congress recognized that it .....

Facts About Marijuana
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1254.... it as an
herbal preparation. A "mythical" and "legendary" pharmacist and
emperor Shen Nung thought using it as a seditive was all right. In
2,700 B.C. that same "mythical" emperor said it helped female
weakness, gout, rheumatism, malaria, beri-beri (?), contipation, and
absentmindedness.
In 1979 (A.D.) Carlton E. Turner visited China and found
marijuana was not in use in formal medical places. J. D. P. Graham

Pornography

subsection reads:
Any woman has a claim hereunder as a woman acting
against the subordination of women. Any man, child or
transsexual who alleges injury by pornography in the
way women are injured by it also has a claim.
[emphasis added]
My goal in this paper is to suggest that a slight modification to
this subsection of the ordinance would make it very difficult for liberals
and legal conservatives to object to it. This modification would restrict
the cause of action to the same persons a .....

Death To The Death Penalty
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 767.... when the culprit is discovered while he
steals, as I mentioned already. Some murderers have very serious
psychiatric problems or are mental patients. In none of these cases is it
possible that the fear to be sentenced to death could act as an effective
deterrent.
There is another heavy limit. One who plans a crime rationally can
choose to go on, although he knows the risk he's running, thinking that he
won't be discovered. Most of the criminologists assert that the best way to
discourage murderers isn't increasing the severity of punishment, but
increasing the possib .....
