Suing The Gun Manufacturer
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. Police officer Whiteman was shot with a Heckler & Kosh semi automatic assault rifle, which – after being purchased legally - had been unlawfully modified to allow fully automatic firing. Officer Whiteman, who was shot during a shootout with bank robbers, wants to sue the gun manufacturer. In light of the ever-shifting weight of responsibility when it comes to gun crimes, legal theories and likely defenses advanced by the gun manufacturer are those that call for a stricter "enforcement of criminal laws to hold armed criminals directly responsible for their actions" (Nagata, 2000, p. PG) instead of blaming firearms makers for their products ending up in the wrong hands. Bibliography lists 1 source.

Surveillance: A Benefit To Society
[ send me this paper ]
12 pages in length. Based upon the escalating violence, drug use and poor-quality workmanship infiltrating the masses, it has become necessary for employers, school systems and the community at large to implement a means by which to thwart the negative by-products of such activity. Surveillance, even though significantly intrusive, plays an integral role in saving society from itself, given the fact that people are taking less and less responsibility for their own actions and how they may create a damaging influence upon unsuspecting others. The writer discusses how it has, indeed, become imperative that surveillance be utilized as a means by which to control the unwanted element of society, which in turn only serves to benefit all concerned.

Testosterone: The Differentiating Element In Male/Female Crimes
[ send me this paper ]

When addressing this in relation to criminal activity, one can readily surmise why men are, by far, more violent, inasmuch as there are significantly divergent responses to external stimuli between men and women for the sole reason that male chemistry is comprised of considerably more testosterone, the single-most influential component of aggressive behavior.

The Causes Of Crime Are Really Irrelevant As Far As Situational Remedies Are Concerned
[ send me this paper ]
12 pages in length. Crime theories are an important collection of scientific reasons why criminal behavior occurs throughout society. People exposed to different environmental and social stimuli have been shown to exhibit certain behaviors experts contend are responsible for motivating them toward criminal activity. These circumstances – such as poverty, absentee parenting or stereotype vulnerability - condition individuals to circumvent civilized social behavior in order to justify the need to utilize crime as a way in which to get what they can otherwise not obtain. However, while crime theories have a prominent and well-earned place within the context of understanding criminal behavior, they are wholly unsuccessful in addressing situational crime, a reality that occurs only when conditions are collectively present to encourage the crime to take place. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
